    Summary

    It starts with a notice in the mailbox. It’s mistaken for another ad for whatever cheap fiber network is and thus promptly ignored. The massive sign on the gate proudly spelling out “Whiterock Redevelopment” is a bit harder to ignore. It’s even harder to ignore when a group of renovation workers are suddenly standing outside their door, talking about how to replace the insulation and the wiring but preserve the stucco.

    Charles and Edwin's building gets bought up to make space for god knows what. It is safe to say that they oppose the change. That building is their building. It’s filled with good memories of Charles and Edwin getting to know one another. It’s filled with memories of their cases and getting into and out of trouble and long nights filled with comfortable silence except the sound of their old building groaning like it is breathing. Neither boy will settle for less. The rest of London will just have to live with the ensuing chaos.

    Summary

    “He’s not really scary.”

    Hob glances at the girl beside him. “Who isn’t?”

    “My brother. He likes people to think he is. It’s… easier, I think.”

    “Easier than what?”

    Her gaze flicks to him, mismatched eyes catching in the moonlight. For a heartbeat, she looks older than the strange, restless girl she appears to be. “Than letting people see the soft parts. The parts that hurt. The vulnerable, gooey ones. If you’re frightening, people don’t touch you. Don’t want to know you. They don’t get close enough to break you.”

     

    AKA: Hob Gadling sees much more than he lets on, befriends a couple of anthropomorphic entities, considers crimes and maybe saves his Stranger along the way.
