A Year of Chaos by AbsentmindedFish
Fandoms: The Mistholme Museum of Mystery Morbidity and Mortality (Podcast)

Summary
The Museum has gotten out of control after the Guide and the Curator hired on another set of employees, and they struggle to both get everything under control and to sign through the giant stack of paperwork that awaits them each day. Then another wrench gets thrown into their lives when a friend calls in a debt they owe, and they have no choice but to accept. They scramble to try and work their new charge into their already too busy days, and when more things begin go wrong around them, the Guide is left trying keep everything from falling apart completely.
Updates Sundays
(If you are new to this fic series, it is best to start with A New Beginning and to read the series in order. There is much in this fic that won't make sense if you don't!)

Summary

(This takes place during and after The Politics of Royalty, so you should really only read this if you've read that first)

Summary
A Fae has come to the museum with a missive from the Majesty, inviting the Curator and the Guide to an event the Curator has been waiting a year for. But things become far more political far faster than he expects, and he soon finds himself in a rush to save both his and his beloved's lives.
Told from the Man/Curator's POV.
If you haven't read A New Beginning yet, it is highly advised that you go read that first, as much of this fic won't make sense without it.

Summary
Explicit Guide (Mistholme)/The Man With The Voice (Ashe) scenes that either take place alongside one of the fics in the Of Fae and AI series, or take place in the gaps of time between those fics.
(These scenes are kept separate from the mainline fics so that people who don't wish to read explicit content can still read those fics without worry)

Summary
Everything at the Mistholme Museum has finally begun to settle into a new normal, now that the Fae invasion is over. Then a familiar, and rather unwelcome, face shows up on the museum's doorstep, claiming to have acquired the title of Curator from its last holder. Now the Guide and the rest of the museum staff have to figure out how to work with the Man, or if they even can. And to make matters more confusing, the Guide slowly begins to realize it might not hate him as much as it definitely should, in fact it might even... like him.
Mostly canon compliant (I take slight liberties with a few things, and also acknowledge I can be forgetful).
