    Summary

    Part of the Bureau of Investigation, Y/N is assigned a new case that takes them to the turbulent South— specifically a city called New Orleans. Determined to succeed, they aim to uncover and catch the rising serial killer known as the Bayou Butcher. Thankfully, they encounter some help along the way.

    “Think of it this way, my dear– wouldn’t you rather have the assistance of a man who’s informed about this wonderful city?”

    They narrowed their eyes, but the radio host’s charming smile simply widened.

    “Civilians should not be involved in investigating criminal cases.”

    “Oh, but Agent…” Alastor paused, his gaze glinting faintly behind his round glasses. “I’m already involved.”

    Summary

    Remy LeBeau built his empire in the grey areas of Prohibition-era New York, where the law doesn't reach and loyalty is bought with blood. His newest treasure is Merle Ross, a singer whose voice enchants his club every night. But when Anna-Marie returns from Europe with vengeance in her heart, Merle becomes a pawn in a deadly game between these two former lovers.

    In the shadows of speakeasies and penthouses, Merle will learn that sometimes the most beautiful cages are the hardest to escape. And sometimes, the most dangerous person isn't the one threatening your life —it's the one promising to save it.

    Summary

    Tissaia, an Original vampire whose centuries of composure and restraint are challenged by the audacity of Yennefer, a human/newly turned vampire.

    Blending intense temptation with psychological depth, the story explores the intersection of power, passion, and the unexpected vulnerability that comes from losing control, while delving into the uncharted dynamics of their connection that awaken what has long been buried. Boundaries will be tested, and the primal instincts of both might be revealed.

    Summary

    Vox, in a perfectly reasonable and not-at-all illegal move, “acquired” a group of writers and forced them to produce a slate of pilots to boost VoxTek’s ratings—different genres, randomized by a wheel, all meant to push creativity and deliver hits. And to their credit, the concepts are varied, the execution sharp…, but upon review, Vox starts noticing something. No matter the premise, no matter the setting, the same two figures keep appearing: a certain radio demon and a very familiar princess, repeatedly thrown into increasingly strange situations together. At first it’s subtle—shared scenes, lingering dialogue—but then it escalates. The tension builds. The closeness becomes intentional. The situations become… suspiciously charged. And despite himself—despite knowing this was absolutely not part of the assignment—Vox keeps watching. Keeps noticing. Keeps waiting to see just how far the writers are going to push it this time… and, much to his own irritation, realizing he’s a lot more invested than he’s ever going to admit.

    Summary

    “Save it, detective,” he said. “I’m keenly fucking aware she deserves a fuck of a lot better than me. She also deserves a fuck of a lot better than you, too.”

    Mertens opened his mouth, as if to object, but then he closed it, heaving a sigh and glancing over at the bar again, where she was now talking to Ilya.

    “Yes,” he said quietly. “I know. Believe me, I know.” He shook his head and continued down the steps, moving to his usual table by the wall without another word.

    Peter watched him for a moment, frowning. He hadn’t actually expected the bastard to agree with him on that.
     

    Peter Wagner and Hugo Mertens have a lot more in common than they'd like to admit. Their respective feelings for the bartender are merely at the top of that list... and now they're finally starting to figure that out.

    Summary

    The end of The Great War was, at first, spectacular.

    Unfortunately, barely a year later, it was not so spectacular.

    Prohibition went into effect on January 17, effectively killing Peter B. Parker’s career as a bartender.

    Fortunately for him, though, a man named Miguel O’Hara sees to it that Peter gets a new job.

    …even if it is very illegal.

    Summary

    Johnny se giró hacia Diego, quién apenas terminaba su cigarrillo.

    — No es tan bueno. Además, no es nuevo.

    Eso lo descolocó al instante.

    — ¿Qué?

    — Ujum. He escuchado mejores. Tampoco me gusta su acento. Y, cómo dije, ya lo he visto antes. Lo ví un par de veces antes de que te trajera, luego desapareció y aparentemente, esta de vuelta. Además...— Diego tenía un gesto desinteresado, que luego se torció en una mueca. Se inclinó hacia Johnny— Dicen que es gay. Yo no me acercaría demasiado...

    Summary

    Hitoshi Shinsou has never been much for caring, not since he got kicked off the force. You had to be a cynic to make it in his world. They called Los Angeles the City of Angels, but he knew for a fact that was a lie. His job now, as a private investigator, was to expose the misdeeds of others on behalf of the spiteful and jealous.

    But when his old commanding officer is shot dead in some alley in what appears to be a mugging gone wrong, everything changes for the intrepid PI. He finds himself wrapped up in a conspiracy that stretches from the fanciest boardrooms in high-rise office buildings to the seediest speakeasies in the dangerous parts of town. Who is behind it all? What do they have to gain?

    And most of all, who really shot Tensei Iida?

    Summary

    Its the Year 1930, the peak of the Prohibition Era. In the city of Eidolon Pasture, Illinois, the criminal underground holds it's breath as a tentative peace bears the strain of a once great unified family splitting apart. The Five Bishops each hold domain over their own districts, eyeing the uncontrolled heart of the city with greed while watching each other for the slightest hint of weakness.

    Meanwhile a lone sheep completes their seminary, leaving the comfort and safety of university to face the cold of the world on their own. Unbeknownst to this down on their luck Lamb, their family owes a great debt, and they're the only one who's left to pay the toll.

    What lengths will they go to keep their head? Can they possibly survive the horrors of the underworld? Will their creditor ever truly release them from their leash?

    Only a fool believes a deal with the devil will be in their favor; as the house always wins in the end.

    Summary

    The Lackadaisy was in resurgence - clear as day for anyone who dared to care. This invited its own flavour of troubles and a slew of other revelations. Yet Atlas laid burried, his murderer still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before the individual threads tangled together for a hellish dance. For Rocky, a stray newspaper article was all it took to alter his entire life's course, where he would be just a little less lonely - where he would be just a little less uncertain of who he truly was.

    "Well, look at what the dark visage flaunts. From afar, a tall, dashing shadow beckons. M'lord, would you honor me with this dance?"

    With gritted teeth, Mordecai accepted the hand. "It would be my pleasure."

    Courtesy of the wayward Mr. Hartland.

    Summary

    What would it take, to make you give up your freedom?

    Dick Grayson has always known the answer to that question, ever since he was a pup. He never had much of a choice. Whoever has possession of a selkie’s fur pelt controls them entirely, that’s just the way it is. His mother always told him to guard his heart, and to never, ever trust humans with his secret. The one time he broke her rule, his family paid for it. And then, he was all alone.

    Distraught, he leaves his home on the coast to flee inland, heading east into the Rocky Mountains and beyond. Eventually, winter hits the mountains like a battering ram, and his flight comes to a halt in Haven.

    Haven is a quaint ranching town hidden in the Rockies. There, he meets Bruce Wayne, a grizzled cowboy-turned-drunk with a checkered past. From the moment he sees him, Dick knows he’s exactly the sort of man his mother warned him about. Then he makes a mistake, and Bruce Wayne ends up in possession of his pelt.

    So he makes a bargain for his freedom. He needs to be out of Haven by the summer, come hell or high water.

    … But if that’s true, why can't he quit Bruce Wayne?

    Summary

    Hidden underneath Eleazar Fig's beloved bookstore lies the Repository, a hidden speakeasy. With the Prohibition in full swing, anybody who visits illegal establishments such as these is automatically considered a criminal. In a way, it can be quite liberating to gather like this, knowing that you are all in community as sinners.

    You, however, as the bartender, know just how deep the rot goes.

    Summary

    Elodie. Lodie. Ms. Whitlock.
    That woman there, who sticks to the corners.

    If you were the bloody man in the rose bushes that night, you would call her monster.

    Because, for some, Serendipity was a conveniently placed thorn bush—
    an empty courtyard,
    a finicky balcony, and a calculated smile.

    Her goal: save her father from his fate. That, or risk losing him, and herself, to the world she had sworn to overcome.

    But answers do not come easy. They are stuck to crime syndicates, speakeasies, and cryptic warehouses. She is penniless, yet led by vindication.

    Alastor Hartfelt is concerned with maintaining his idyllic life. Once alienated for his race, society now fell to his feet–a testament to his great influence in the Golden Age of Radio. He has power unforeseen. Secrets best left unsaid. And as far as he is concerned, the world is his to have.

    So when Elodie threatens disruption to his carefully curated world, he is naturally in opposition.

    In a broken world such as this, the only true law was to mind yourself–and neither seemed too keen on that regard.

    Summary

    Arthur Wright, a washed-up writer in the 1920's, was planning on spending the rest of his life and money on alcohol after his wife divorced him. Only producing one successful book, he finds himself losing motivation to write and ultimately gives up--finding more pleasure in drowning his emotions in his addiction.

    Francis Stone, a college drop-out and bartender at the speakeasy Arthur frequents, immediately recognizes his favorite author and makes it his goal to help Arthur get over his addiction and write again.

    In a series of events, the two grow closer to each other than either of them imagined.

    Will Francis be able to save Arthur? Or will Arthur’s addiction overtake his will to live?

    Summary

    Yuu narrowed their eyes at him. “Were you sent by Linda? To – I dunno – scare me straight? Because if so, kill yourself.”

    “Um?” said the man. And then his nose wrinkled. “You stink of booze – are you drunk?”

    “Among other things,” they said, waving a hand vaguely. Then, they paused. “I mean. No. Linda, wherever you are, I am so sober. The most sober anyone's ever been, even.”
