    Summary

    Kris looks up from his curly fries like I’ve just told him Santa moonlights as a hitman. "You haven’t even met the guy yet."

    "Exactly!" I lean forward, whispering like I’m about to confess to a murder. "He moved in a week ago. A week. I’ve heard footsteps, seen his boots by the door—lace-up, suspiciously all black—and smelled his peppermint shampoo. But not once have I laid eyes on him. Not once."

    Or: Coals new roommate is a mystery. A mystery he's quite interested in, actually.

    Summary

    Anthony thought he would never be able to get past the Berbrooke mishap. It did not help that his mother, sisters, and brothers did not seem like to let him forget it.

    It was not Berbrooke per say, or the problems he’d engendered, that were the root issue. It was everything else around the affair that grated at him: his mother’s derision, his sister’s stubbornness, his brothers’ carelessness, and all of it had pre-existed Berbrooke and was not like to disappear after him. If anything, the whole incident had only strengthened the opinion that his family had of him, and Anthony, too tired to fight, decided the preferable recourse was his only one: hiding.

    Or: the AU of season 1 where Anthony decides to let Daphne manage her season after his mistake with Lord Berbrooke, and everyone finds that they do need him.

    Or still: the one where Anthony solves his issues without a gun but a gun is still the solution.

    Summary

    Thorfinn and Sasappis have known each other for 500 years, yet oddly enough we don't seem to know much about their relationship. Perhaps, there was once something more between them, long ago. Follow the long afterlives of Sasappis and Thorfinn, from the moment Woodstone's oldest ghost was first struck by lightning, to the very first encounter of the early Dutch colonists.

    (Written pre-Season 4)
