Summary
"The Shopkeeper was all but willing to put the case aside despite the ultimate good of closing it,” Mr McMahon says, once again adjusting his glasses. The light flashes across them to obscure his eyes for a moment or two. “I did tell him that you may be capable of ascertaining the necessary information. That you have extenuating factors that make you better equipped than you might have once been.”
It takes her a moment to realise what he’s referring to. “You mean… Loid?”
“Yes, I mean Loid.”
--
The target is William Barton... And that's all Yor knows. Garden's had a finicky customer they can't nail down. Mr McMahon suggests that Yor ask Loid - Twilight - for help. With Loid behaving strangely recently she's not sure it's a good idea, but she does so anyway. It's looks like it's going to be difficult, but she's worked on something like this with Loid before.
It'll be fine! Right?Series

Bookmarker's Notes
Another installment I didn’t expect, but was glad I caught. Explores the complications between both Twilight and Yor, and their respective organizations, knowing each other’s secrets. Leads to more tension than immediately after post-identity reveal which I really really enjoyed. Great example of how much turmoil there can still be to explore even when the initial reveal has passed, and well written to boot. There might be more in a while so perhaps reread both stories again when the third comes out to jog your memory.

Absolutely amazingly written little romp. Explores Twilight’s guilt without the loom of angst, very funny quips, great family interactions, a mutual yet oblivious protectiveness shared between Twilight and Yor, and a good writer’s sense of composition. Read comment for details. Can’t wait to forget about this fic so I can read it again.

Summary
Those hands of his have killed, maimed and spilled blood too many times for him to ever fully wash the stain away.
Those hands of his can also guide, comfort, protect and love.It takes Loid a peanut-loving child, a terrifyingly strong wife, and a highly intelligent dog to realize that.
(or five times Loid Forger uses his hands to express love, and the one time he receives love through touch)

I loved this one dearly and was sad when there was no more. Separate, but interconnected, chapters of Twilight's relationship with his family. Very well written. A lot of small snippets in this that of which I really liked the wording. Was very amused by the author's dedication to writing with word counts that ended in 000.

Summary
The target is Roland Raymond, the young son of a minister with extreme military ambitions. Twilight's mission is to learn his intentions over a weekend of events in the city of Genova, Witland. He has his alias, he has his disguise, and he's ready for this all to go smoothly.
That's until he sees Yor the very first night. What is she doing here? Why did she lie about where she would be?
And most importantly, why is she following Roland Raymond?

Refreshing to see a mission fic with well-made original characters, unexpected obstacles, and period typical aggressions. You don't see enough of it around! I appreciate the continuation of naming high society and scion villains with alliterating names. Really loved the characterization for Sylvia and McMahon too!

Amazing characterization, pacing, and studies of Twilight regarding different characters and his own feelings. Really appreciate Twilight's ability to adapt to the supernatural with both skepticism and pragmatism, but to be able to realize his feelings in a true-to-character way. One of the best longform SxF I've read.
