Summary
New Orleans, 1928. The Bayou Butcher has been active for years, but only recently has his case begun drawing real attention.
When Evelyn Bennett takes a position as Alastor’s secretary at the local radio station, she quickly realizes he is not what he seems: She sees enough to know better and decides to look not too closely.
As their connection deepens through music, work and conversation, curiosity becomes something far more dangerous.
What forms between them is built on what is noticed and what is left unspoken.A slow-burn story about control, awareness and choice. Where love is not redemption and staying is a decision.
Note:
The chapters are still being edited for clarity and continuity.
Later chapters (48, 53 and 58) contain more explicit content. -

Summary
Dick, Jason and Tim spend a week in Wayne Mansions in Monte Carlo with Bruce.
Except, they're not here on vacation; they're here to Agatha Christie the shit out of their dad, who has, unfortunately, been cloned into multiple near-indistinguishable copies by an interdimensional doppelganger, and it's up to them to find the real Bruce Wayne before time runs out.
It's a good thing that they're all professional vigilantes, who would never let their reckless sexual affairs, ongoing commitment issues, or poor parental relationships get in the way of getting the job done.

The killer's already started the clock on their heads, but will Matt's cold distance and Kelly's hot anger get in the way of seeing what was in front of them all along, or will it be too late?

Summary
Women have been disappearing from San Francisco’s nightlife for months. Always the same pattern: they leave a bar, and by morning, they’re simply gone. No witnesses. No bodies. No answers.
Private investigator Rachel Milwood has been hired by the families of the missing to find out what happened to them. What begins as a routine missing persons case slowly unravels into something far darker. Rachel follows the pattern through dim bars, security footage, and the quiet corners of the city where people vanish without much notice.
One such night, Rachel gets too close to the truth.
Now trapped in the home of the woman behind the disappearances, Rachel finds herself at the mercy of a meticulous and terrifying captor who has been doing something unspeakable to the women she takes. And as Rachel struggles to survive, she realizes the fate of the missing women may be far worse than anyone imagined.

Summary
Mabel Tanaka is moving on with her life, having recently graduated from college and begun working for Dr. Sam and her team, making a future for herself in the human world.
So why doesn’t it feel like enough?
The connection she lost during the Hoppers project isn’t gone, just out of reach. She still visits George in the grove on a regular basis, but it isn’t the same. The longing to reclaim that connection sparks a drive to take it back, and once she learns that the animals that she has come to care about so deeply are in danger again, she decides to break the rules to make it happen.
The more pushback she gets from the powers that be in the human world, and the more good she manages to do while hopping as a beaver once more, the more the animal world feels like home…and the easier it becomes to justify going further than she ever should to protect it.
Because, if she feels like she’s making more of a difference, making more genuine connections, and feeling more like herself when she’s a beaver…why go back to the human world at all?

This is a Mabel/King George-centric story. There will be romantic/sexual themes.

Summary
25-year-old Grace Avery is a stunning woman working as a detective/investigator. Due to her looks, she often gets sexist remarks from her colleagues, seen only as an object of praise and beauty rather than a fellow detective. Annoyed and frustrated, she goes to an old friend for help and assistance, asking for a partner who doesn't care about her looks and has the brains to work with her, to which she learns that there is a person who could help her, the problem lays in the fact that, that person is the very same man who Grace knew and hated in high school, Basil M. House. Will Grace continue to hate his guts? Is Basil the same man whom Grace knew in High school? And will their relationship change?
This is a reimagining of Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Besides being a reimagining, it's also a composite of different mystery stories and movies that I loved, so don't be surprised if some of the cases or puzzles look familiar. Apologies for the grammar mistakes:( Really enjoyed writing this:)
