Summary
Captain James Higgins returns to his old station Button House for a Victory Day party, and sneaks in when he is turned away at the gate. He must see his old Lieutenant, but his actions come with deadly consequences.
What happens after the Captain dies? How does he react to being a ghost, and what does Havers do? How do the other ghosts handle the new arrival? These are all questions I had, and ones I decided to finally answer myself in my first fanfiction.

Summary
A crowd of small faces turned to look at him. Faces which James found it almost hurtful to look into. He shouldn't have felt the gut-wrenching pity that he did for the lads, but he couldn't help it. It was like staring into the sun.
---
James doesn't remember much about his time at boarding school, only that he had despised it. When his husband, Anthony, secures a housemaster job looking after boarders at the local school, James' deeply-buried trauma explodes out of the ground.

Summary
Alison Cooper was good at her job. She may only be a human but she had studied this for years, heck even her and her husband Mike owned a company dedicated to helping them now! But even then, omegas were complicated creatures. Alphas were too to be honest but they weren't her area, omegas were.
And she had dealt with plenty of them too.
But now she had a new case to solve, and this particular omega wasn't up for sharing much so she'd have to find out for herself.
Should be fun right? or incredibly frustrating, she couldn't exactly tell.

Summary
Cordelia Edevane had always been an enigma to the other ghosts who haunted Button House, seeming to prefer the company of the living instead of the lingering spirits gathered over many centuries. So when Heather Button, the last inheritor of Button House, finally passes away due to old age, Cordelia is the only ghost who worries over the rundown house's fate while the rest bask in their new freedom.
Months later, the arrival of new homeowners Mike and Alison Cooper rid Cordelia of her previous worries. However, her housemates don't take too kindly to the married couple's plans to renovate Button House into a hotel, resulting in an unsuccessful haunting that ends with a near-death experience for Alison and her gaining the ability to perceive and converse with the dead. The ghosts, led by the Captain, plot to use Alison's new abilities to make the Coopers leave for good. But to their surprise, Cordelia is prepared to keep them from leaving, even if it means foiling the mischief of her fellow ghosts.
Meanwhile, an at-her-wits-end Alison may have found an unlikely ally keeping her sanity in check; Cordelia might be the only ghost of Button House she can just about tolerate.

Summary
Pat was happy, considering the circumstances (i.e. the divorce). His new job at Button House was more fulfilling than the bank had ever been and the other tenants of the manor had been very welcoming. They were all quickly becoming friends.
Except for the grumpy groundsman who would not talk to any of them and never came to Pizza Night.
Who in their right mind didn't like pizza?
-------------------------------------------------
Life at Button House was never quite boring.
Well. It did feel very boring most days. But one of Humphrey's housemates always managed to liven things up. By coming up with more and more ridiculous ideas for pizza toppings during Pizza Night for example. Or by making Humphrey think that they might commit mass murder with their shotgun soon.
No, life at Button House was never entirely boring.
-------------------------------------------------
Alternative summary (courtesy of nemomeimpune)
The Captain being a mysterious and mopey autistic gay mess and Humphrey being his accidental confidante and Patrick stubbornly insisting on being his friend. -

Summary
In hindsight, it was foolish to think that getting the whole gang to Scotland for Alison and Mike's wedding would be completely hassle-free. Of course fate would find some way to shove Pat and the Captain into an awkward situation or twenty.
Or:
A sudden change of plans leaves Pat and the Captain sharing a car across the country. They endure terrible traffic, even worse music, and their feelings for each other.

Summary
“Once every hundred year,” Robin began to explain. “Star go zoom past. It give wish to one guy. Dead or alive.”
“Oh, what are you all wishing for then?” Alison asked.
“Ah, wishing rules,” the Captain replied, bouncing on his heels but still keeping a look out. “Couldn’t possibly say.”
“I don’t want anything. I have everything I could possibly want,” Kitty beamed.
Julian gave a snarky reply. “Speak for yourself.”
Or
Humphrey’s wish is granted after five centuries of yearning, and he makes the most of it with the help of a certain MP.
