   Summary

   The extracurricular adventures of one man who doesn't know what he's doing and another who should know better by now.

   A cosy, fairly silly, largely post-canon Emmrook series featuring romance, family, academia, codex entries, sundry inhabitants of the Grand Necropolis both living and dead, and the greatest danger known to the Senior Common Room: the student newsletter.
