  1. Summary

    Mick and Len aren’t the type to celebrate their anniversaries.

    Certainly not counting from the day they met, and certainly not with traditional anniversary gifts.

    Sometimes things just work out that way.

    Summary

    Something's wrong with Edwin. Crystal is trying to rebuild her life. Everyone is missing Niko. And Charles is trying to keep everything from falling apart. Into all this comes another bombshell: the cases that started it all, Edwin and Charles's deaths, might have started something else, too. Something darker. Something that threatens to break the Dead Boy Detective Agency altogether.

    Summary

    After a forced swim in freezing waters, Charles encounters Edwin on his way home. Edwin offers his coat to Charles to help warm him up, and the rest is history.

    But there’s something strange about Edwin’s coat that makes Charles incredibly curious. So he does what any curious guy does and he investigates!

    (I don’t know how to summarize this, it’s just pure fluff)

    Summary

    “Edwin? What was that?” Crystal barged into the room, looking sleep-rumpled and grumpy. She frowned at Charles blearily before looking over to Edwin.
    “Who’s this guy?” she asked.
    Charles felt his whole world caving in.
    “My question precisely,” Edwin stated primly. When he turned his gaze on Charles, it was cold and unfamiliar.
    “Who are you?”
    -
    Charles gets cursed on a case, causing Edwin, Crystal, and everyone he's ever met to lose all memory of him. Only one person, or rather, cat, is immune to the curse's magic, and Charles was really hoping he'd never have to see him again.

    Summary

    When Charles' master dies, he makes the rash decision to steal Sir Dagfinn's identity to compete for tournament prizes as a knight.

    Charles' friends, Monty and Crystal, would be happy to just earn enough coin to fill their hungry bellies and return home to London. Thomas of Anglesey, a poet they meet on the road to Rouen, joins the gang as he needs new stories to tell.

    Charles, however, has greater desires: to gain glory and prove that a peasant like himself can change his stars.

    There are many obstacles for Charles to navigate: learning to joust, navigating courtly manners at banquets, and avoiding the suspicion and wickedly accurate lances of his fellow knight, Lady Esther.

    It is the worst possible time to fall in love. But when he meets a handsome and quarrelsome Lord at a tournament in Rouen, Charles vows to gain his favour and his heart.
