He needs the Dead Boy Detectives.

Summary
“You can come out of the furnace of trouble two ways: if you let it consume you, you come out a cinder; but there is a kind of metal which refuses to be consumed, and comes out a star.”
The Unexpected Story of Monty from the Shed and Tommy King. From reluctant associates to something far harder to pin down and much harder to ignore.
Sometimes, in a world of drowning and living in the mud, you cling to whoever you can to stay afloat. Sometimes it's not who you would choose, if you could.
Sometimes an unlikely friendship is the only friendship you can get.
After Esther Finch leaves a gaping hole in Monty's life, Niko Sasaki goes a long way towards filling it, and then Niko Sasaki leaves a different space behind when she leaves... Monty has to look forward to what comes next. Making plans isn't easy for a boy who's used to waiting. But when he has one...
There's no stopping him.
The third installment of the fosterfeathers au, AKA The Drug Suite.

Summary
After the Dead Boy Detectives (& living associates) leave Port Townsend, things get a little quiet. And boring. But Port Townsend doesn't have its reputation as a weird mystery town for no reason. Strange things have always happened here, strange things will always happen here, and really in the grand scheme of things, how strange is it for a crow who was a boy who was a crow to show up as a boy again?
Not strange at all, really. But fascinating, for any bored, bright eyes to watch and see what happens.
When a fledgling is abandoned in a nest, how can a cat resist?
