Summary
“Simon,” I plead softly, tugging gently at his wrist, but he doesn’t come to me. I can smell smoke; he’s all cinders and ash. He’s worried. He’s worried that something’s wrong, that I don’t want him. That I’ve realised this was never a good idea and the thing with the paper cut was a monumental mistake and we need to stop it. And whilst that’s probably true, and whilst this probably will end in flames, that’s not why we can’t do it tonight, and I feel my heart cleave in two because I know what’s coming next.

Summary
Simon Snow has officially retired from saving the world. His magick is burned out, just an ember left in the cavity of his chest and the bottom of his lungs, and he's found himself almost next to normal. He has a flat. He puts dents in the walls far too often and stays up far too late. Life goes on.
Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch just wants to get out from under the thumb of his overbearing father, and will resort to even less-than-legal means to do so. He's a mage who never went to Watford, and there's a secret burning like acid in his mouth. Finding his mother's killer would be a bonus; but life goes on.
If only their respective neighbours weren't so awful...

Summary
Simon Snow is just like everyone else. He has a job managing a bakery and dirty mugs piling up in his room. Except for just one thing: he moonlights as a superhero, The Golden Blade, official protector of Watford City. And a new nemesis has arisen, wreaking havoc and mayhem upon the citizens: the sinister, mysterious Vampire. Simon has to find out what Vampire is up to, all while keeping his identity a secret from everyone - including his prickly flatmate, Baz.
Superhero AU (non-magical) filled with action, pining, baking, oblivious boys, and, of course, plotting. (There's always plotting.)

Summary
I’ve been away for so long that I’ve started to worry I imagined it. Or that we weren’t as happy as I thought. Or that I was in a blissful sleep for three years of my life and now I’ve woken up to a nightmare.
The night before Baz graduates from university, Simon breaks up with him. (Because, as Baz will tell you, he is an idiot.)
A year later they still aren't talking, Simon has a new girlfriend, and Baz is wearing a lot of purple.
Penny has had it up to here with the pair of them. So she decides to take them on a road trip.

Summary
Baz Pitch loves, in no particular order; David Bowie, punk music, the feel of old vinyl, the smell of coffee (but not the taste), classic books, magic, David Byrne, the fact that he was raised by his aunt Fiona, and maybe, sometimes, Simon Snow.
