    Summary

    A new case has landed upon Dirk Gently's doorstep, delivered by the last man he ever wanted to see again.

    He knows he can't run from the Universe once it's decided to put him onto the playing field again, and he knows the importance of a case like this. Two former Blackwing subjects are attracting far too much attention, and it's up to Dirk to track them down before Priest does.

    Accompanied by the man responsible for all the things Dirk would rather not think about anymore (as well as Todd and Farah), he takes the case and all the consequences that come with it.

    Summary

    Magnus opened the door with a raised eyebrow and a “What is it now, Jake?”

    Blunt as always, Jace cut through any pleasantries or small talk, even ignoring Magnus’s intentional mistake in his name. “Alec’s in pain.”

    Or, Alec has chronic pain. Magnus finds out, and does what he can to help.

    Summary

    "From a modern perspective, Fairy Tales offer us an escape into magical worlds where anything is possible. Historically however, fairy tales served another more sinister purpose. Used to enforce society's rules and expectations. Under all the mystical glitter, fairy tales always carried the same warning: Choose very carefully children. Live a moral self sacrificing life dedicated to God and country... or a horrible monster will slide out of the dark and eat you up.

    Perhaps in a world with Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham in it, we would do well to heed the warning."

    — On the History of Fairytales & Modern Monsters, F. Cassandra Lounds

    -

    All it took was one second to change everything, one second to lose it all.

    Will Graham realized one second to late that he'd made a most horrible mistake

    Then Hannibal's blade was in his belly. His whole life washing away on a tide of blood & heartbreak

    The Chesapeake Ripper never made mistakes, never left anything behind that he didn't specifically choose to leave there, and Hannibal Lecter was The Chesapeake Ripper. There could be no mistake, no second chance, no putting the teacup back together.

    It was over

    Right?

    Summary

    "The good news is that I was invited, which—I guess is an improvement," Brett began, but even so, Reagan knew the but was coming before he'd even introduced it, so it was hardly surprising when it followed, "but...uh, the kinda-bad news is that the invitation says that I’m only allowed to go to the renewal if I bring a plus-one."

    “...wait, plus-one as in, like, a human sacrifice?” Reagan flatlined, brows furrowing.

    “No, as a—uh, as a date. A girlfriend.”

    In which Brett Hand needs a date to his parents' vow renewal, and Reagan owes more favors than she can count.

    Summary

    “He’s different with you.”

    Magnus turns around, stares at Jace impassively. “What?”

    Jace clears his throat. “It’s probably pretty obvious but he’s different with you. You’ve changed him.”

    Magnus looks confused. “Sorry?”

    Smiling, Jace shakes his head. "Alec was sad and bitter and lonely and now he’s-- now he’s not. He’s confident and devoted and it’s because of you. I never said it, but thank you, Magnus. Thank you for saving him.”

    An outside look at Alec through the years.
