Summary
“What are you reading?”
“Scooby-Doo.” The girl reached for her book, and now Shelby recognized the characters on the front cover. “I read somewhere that mysteries can bring comfort during difficult times, and these are my favorite.”
“Why mysteries?”
“Because they deliver on a promise. A crime will be committed, or a murder, and then it gets solved. In Scooby-Doo, there’s some kind of supernatural phenomena that gets investigated. But they always solve the mystery in the end.” Her face brightened. “Did you know that during the London Blitz, when they set up makeshift libraries in the Underground shelters, the most popular books were Agatha Christie mysteries? When the world is falling apart, people can find comfort in stories where justice triumphs and everything makes sense.”
“I see.” Shelby was not entirely certain how she had come to be standing in a cemetery discussing murder mysteries with a strange girl, but it was honestly better than most of the conversations she’d participated in recently.

Summary
“Stubbornness runs in the family, I’m afraid.” Robin looked a bit sheepish. “The entire family, actually. Edwin could argue magical theory with the world’s leading experts, and none of the bureaucrats at the Home Office are a match for Addy.” He paused. “From what I’ve heard and observed, you’re no pushover, either.”
Violet remembered how Maud had called her family. Lady Enid had spoken in her letter about kindred spirits and how true family was more than just blood. She had never let herself be bound by the limitations and rules of society, and neither would Violet. Family could be what they made it.
Violet offered Robin one of her genuine smiles. “It sounds as though I’ll fit right in with the rest of your family, then.”

A reflection on the meanings of family, and the stories of five people who joined the Blyth extended family.

heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another by artemisadore

Summary
“What in the world do you think you're doing?” Edwin asks, hands on his hips in the way Crystal says makes him look like a ‘cunty British Karen.’
This startles the man into dropping the shard of glass onto the pavement with a clink. “Fuck! Can't a guy trash his fucking ex's car ‘n peace?”
Edwin, for some reason, is startled by the man's appearance. The first thing he sees are black-lined eyes the color of honey, the golden hue almost glowing in the streetlight. Edwin’s love of mysteries, unfortunately for him, is only rivaled by his love of pretty boys. And while his plan to confront the vulgar vandal was not exactly fool-proof from the start, Edwin realizes he has severely miscalculated how the rest of this interaction would go, because the vandal is fucking gorgeous.
x
Edwin is a grad student who is sick of his friends trying to help him get over his crush on Charles by setting him up on dates. Thomas is hellbent on destroying his cheating ex's car right outside Edwin's window. And Edwin is having none of it...until he learns that Thomas' ex is actually Simon, his first-boyfriend-turned-bully.
Edwin needs a fake boyfriend. Thomas needs an alibi. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Edwin has felt this way before: dragged along by a force beyond his control, away from the beating heart of something important that could not be left behind. The last time was in the clutches of a demon beast, all porcelain and pincers, with Charles’ name caught in his throat, half in a cry for help and half because, if these were to be his last words in this plane of existence, there was little else worth screaming.

Summary
The other boy slowly lowers his arm back to his side as he meets Charles’ gaze. His eyes are scrutinizing. “There isn’t time, unfortunately,” he says, hushed, “for a full explanation. So, in short order: my name is Edwin Payne, yes, I too was sacrificed to Sa’al by my classmates at St. Hilarion’s, and both of our souls have been traded to the creature that resides here. Unlike Sa’al, the creature has no qualms about torturing souls and prefers to chase its prey. It will be following the trail I have left behind. Hide here. I will lead it off.”
Or: Charles Rowland is sacrificed in the same ritual that killed Edwin Payne, seventy-three years earlier, only a short time before Edwin would have made it out of Hell on his own. Now, instead of being responsible for only himself, Edwin's got to get the both of them out of Hell. It's not going to be easy.
