Summary
Perpetua finds himself in a small town that refuses to let him leave. Nylund’s deeply religious leaders are friendly, hospitable, generous, and also armed. He cannot contact his brothers, the Ministry, or anyone else to help him. He doesn’t quite know what the town has planned for him, but it’s not looking good.
Jack is a closeted trans man who has always lived in Nylund. He doesn’t believe the rumors that the man they’re holding is a demon. But what can he do? His husband and the others holding the man captive won’t listen to him. Then again, they never do.
Perpetua/OC story about loneliness, alienation, feeling trapped, and finding someone who sees the real you.

Summary
Perpetua has known for decades that his twin brother is a sentimental dork. After showing up with a new 'companion feeder' (because that's what they're calling pets these days), Copia has been fangs-over-heels for her in the most sickeningly obvious way. Good thing Perpetua has never had any desire to have a pet. Lets just cross our fingers and hope that the Human Distribution System doesn't have a wild sense of humor, shall we?

Summary
It’s increasingly clear that Copia is not needed as Frater Imperator. The Psaltarians and the clergy have the whole thing running smoothly, and he is left haunting the Ministry like the ghosts only he can see. He hasn’t even met his brother yet and he begins to think he never will.
So in the middle of the night, he leaves. He tries to live a normal life, the kind he never had raised in the Ministry. He's good at his new job, and maybe, just maybe, he can figure out what it's like to create his own future.
But his peace is interrupted when he finds that his reclusive neighbor is extremely haunted--by their past but, more pressingly, by very loud, very angry, very literal ghosts that don't much like Copia, either. And while he's trying to deal with that, his brother shows up looking for him...

Summary
Grisly murders lead an aloof forensic pathologist to the strange company of a certain Cardinal Copia. Chaos, friendship, and carnal lust ensue. Can they collaborate to stop the slaughter, or are dark forces at work? More importantly, they spiral into true horror along the way (i.e. attachment). Love is not salvation. Some demons must be exorcised, while others are faced.
~ “When you were younger…did you tempt the Dark One?”
“What?” you hissed.
He huffed in exasperation. “You know what I mean. Did you tempt Him? A ritual, a sacrifice, anything out of the ordinary?” ~
