Summary
“How about that one?” said Charles. He was pointing to a human-presenting figure with a fedora hat and a furry jacket. “David. Doesn’t sound like a criminal’s name.”
Edwin looked up at him from behind his lashes. “Should I remind you that we are also on this website?”
“Well, at least we don’t wear a fedora hat,” retorted Charles, and Edwin had to agree with that. If you had to be an outlaw, you could at least do it with a certain style.
Edwin tapped twice over the image to expand the details of the case. “They are offering one million tickets. Almost as good as me.”
“I swear sometimes you sound proud when you say that.”

In an ever expanding Universe enforcing law is tricky. The Human Intergalactic Organisation introduced a system of rewards to encourage everyone to do their part in finding criminals and bringing them to their planet for trial. This had the unintended consequence of creating the new career of the Bounty Hunter which, for its nature, became especially popular for those living outside of society, for whom other sources of outcome are unattainable.
This is their story.

Summary
Charles is looking idly at the group of instructors to try and guess which one may be Crystal, but the moment Niko’s name is called, everything else fades to the background. The boy walking towards his best friend is the most beautiful Charles has ever seen. It feels like time has slowed down as he watches him shake Niko’s hand and start talking to her in a light, melodious voice. He looks about Charles’ age, tall, his sweater a dark forest green that matches his eyes. Unprompted, Charles’ brain starts to wonder what those long legs would look like without the padded ski trousers, if they are as thin and elegant as they seem - nothing untowards, a pair of skinny jeans would be great.
“Close your mouth, you’ll catch flies. You are with me,” a voice supplies close to his side, followed by two quick snaps of fingers. “So? What is your starting level? Or do you want to spend our two hours staring at Edwin?”
“I-” Charles shakes his head to focus. “Zero, my starting level is zero.”

Summary
“24 hours?”
“24 hours. From the minute the clock strikes midnight. Do we have a deal?”
The woman extends her hand, the hazy outline of her fingers flickering in the candlelight like the ripples of water. She isn’t a ghost, not exactly (not like the boys are at least), but she also isn’t not. It’d been a perplexing case, full of magic and mystery far beyond the extent of what the Dead Boy Detectives had explored in the past few decades. She had explained, and Edwin had taken careful note of the specifics, but it still doesn’t really make all that much sense.
What makes even less sense is how exactly the spell she’s offering works, her magic surpassing Edwin’s, something supernatural and spiritual like the Cat King’s, far beyond the boy’s comprehension… but god if the appeal isn’t enough to make the two ghosts consider throwing caution to the wind.

Summary
December 31st 2001
New Year’s Resolutions:
1. STOP SMOKING!
2. Get a better job so no longer have to dread social functions.
3. Enter into nice respectable relationship with nice respectable man; see above.
4. Develop interesting hobby as talking point in the event of failure on points 2 and 3 – anything to avoid being introduced as Edwin Payne who had a nervous breakdown after two terms at Cambridge, holds a pissant little job at a publishing house of no significance or renown and couldn’t catch a man with both hands and a bear trap. Will be 32 years old this year, for heaven’s sake. Feel strongly that now is the moment to take charge of my life. At the stroke of midnight tonight, the year 2002 shall begin, and I shall be a new and improved Edwin Payne.A Bridget Jones’s Diary AU.

Last Christmas (I gave you my heart) by Hse11z5 for Nigg

Summary
So, Christmas really was magic. It meant things could be willed into existence, it meant that things that would never normally be possible suddenly happened, and no one blinked an eyelid. It was the only possible reason Charles could think of for what had just happened to him. One moment, he had been in the office with Edwin, decorating the Christmas tree and gazing at his best mate in the whole world- desperately trying to think what on earth he could get him for Christmas- and the next moment he was falling, spinning through darkness before landing wherever on earth he was now.
[or, two boys are so determined to make this Christmas perfect that they make time travel happen]

Summary
Psychomanteum, noun. A dimly-lit room containing a comfortable chair and a mirror angled so that it reflects only darkness, intended to communicate with spirits of the dead.
It is our privilege to welcome you back, one and all, for the Summer 2024 season at the London Athenaeum. As some of you will no doubt be aware, this past winter saw a spate of minor thefts, with one enterprising thief successfully removing a marble bust of the goddess Carpundia. We are pleased to report that the probate court proceedings are now complete, and all of the stolen artifacts have been returned to us. For safety reasons, we must now ask that all rosaries, japa mala, ojuzu, komboskini, misbaha and other similar prayer beads are left at the door and collected upon exit on account of one of our new acquisitions, a devil vitrified in a prism of glass, and the multiple recent incidents of attempted strangulation.
We are proud to present a slate of all new exhibitions and events, including the crown jewel of this season: an exhibition on the 170 year history of the Athenaeum itself by acting head curator Edwin Payne. This is the distillation of an extraordinary life’s work, and one not to be missed.
