The Oldest Trick in London Below by brmqtr
Fandoms: Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman, Highlander: The Series
28 Oct 2025

Summary
When an immortal swordsman falls through the cracks of the world, he lands in a city that shouldn’t exist — and in the path of one very charming, very impossible man.
Methos, oldest of the Immortals, wakes in London Below after a quickening gone wrong. There are talking rats, murderous velvet assassins, and a man in a tattered coat who introduces himself as the Marquis de Carabas: thief, liar, and occasional savior of fools.
Together, they barter in memories, con minor gods, and argue over whose bad habits are worse. Somewhere between haunted umbrellas, near-death escapes, and too much banter under too little light, they begin to see something familiar in each other — the same exhaustion, the same hunger to keep living no matter the cost.
And when dawn finally touches the Thames, the oldest liar in history finds himself believing in one more trick: love.

Summary
London Below runs on bargains — dark, glittering, and never fair.
Richard Mayhew, still half a stranger to its dangers, wants only to survive. The Marquis de Carabas, equal parts charm and trickery, offers to teach him the rules. In exchange, Richard must teach the Marquis something far more impossible: how to be decent.Their lessons spiral through markets of mirrors, poisoned tea, and too many near-deaths. Richard learns cunning; the Marquis learns courtesy (begrudgingly). Between the arguments and rescues, humor sharpens into affection, and decency becomes the most dangerous thing either of them has ever tried.
The Gentleman’s Bargain is a sharp, seductive reimagining of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere — a story of wit, danger, and reluctant tenderness, where a dead rat can open doors, and two men discover that survival and sincerity might just mean the same thing.

Summary
Richard Mayhew thought life in London Above would go back to normal. A job, a flat, perhaps even a quiet evening without someone threatening him with a crossbow. Instead, he finds a bloodstained coat, a dying man on his carpet, and the familiar voice of the Marquis de Carabas saying, “Don’t ruin my evening—or my outfit.”
What begins as one more favor owed quickly turns into a journey back through the cracks of London Below, where mirrors whisper, debts breathe, and friendship is more dangerous than magic. Between assassins, talking rats, and an ill-advised sandwich incident, Richard learns that the Marquis’s talent for chaos might only be matched by his knack for coming back.
A story about doors, impossible men, and the fine art of surviving love—one bargain at a time.

Danger Is the Fun Part by brmqtr
Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga), Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman

Summary
When the Marquis de Carabas — trickster, survivor, and master of wit — finds himself stranded in the Grand Line, he expects to charm or cheat his way back to safety. Instead, he’s hauled aboard the Thousand Sunny and thrown into the orbit of Monkey D. Luffy, a captain with rubber fists, a boundless grin, and absolutely no regard for caution.
Where the Marquis schemes with words and shadows, Luffy charges headfirst with laughter and fists. Together they face shadowy islands, pirate ambushes, and storms that could tear the sea apart. To the Marquis’s surprise, they make a terrifyingly effective team. To his greater surprise, he finds himself caught off guard by Luffy’s simple honesty — and by the way a blunt “I like you” can shake him more than any knife.
It’s a story of tricks and tides, danger and laughter, and the most perilous adventure of all: falling in love with a Straw Hat.

Summary
Same universe as Neverwhere, different locations have different dynamics. First installment will be New York, I want to do one about the flash flood tunnels in Las Vegas, and the L in Chicago too. This is my first time writing so be kind. Constructive criticism is appreciated as long as it's given with pure intentions and a kind heart <3. Also it should be said that I do not support Neil Gaiman or his actions.

Summary
Richard bought the book for a piece of wire that, for some reason, he had kept deep in his pocket, and two chewing gum, which to all intents and purposes seemed a more or less fair exchange.
The faded title of “Puss in Boots” stared back at him.“A miller, who had three sons, divided his only possessions at the time of his death and gave the mill to his firstborn; to the second; his donkey; and to the youngest, just a cat…”

Chapter 3: A fairytale of rockets, incomplete (Ray Bradbury and classic sci-fi, and building our own fantasies.)
Chapter 4: The witch who used to haunt Potrero Hill (Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and people who have fallen through the cracks.)
Chapter 5: Red shoes. (A different take on the classic fairy tale.)
Chapter 6: Arrival. (Fantasy characters who run away and grow up.)
Chapter 7: Elegy for Apollo. (Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota, and the irresistible drive to explore the universe.)

Summary
The goddess looked at the fox, at the snow stuck to its fur. And her curiousity, and perhaps also a strange urge to prove the creature wrong, got the better of her. "Have it your way, then," she said, and reached out her hand. "As a gift."
She touched the fox's nose, and turned it human.

I got an assignment to read a random book of my choice, and then write fanfiction about it. I read Neverwhere. This is the result in both its original Swedish version and a recent English translation.
