    Summary

    Basrar swirls his hands in front of him, and with a burst of magic an ice cream sundae appears on the table.

    “Fantastic,” Ayda says. “The creation of something from nothing. A truly splendid use of conjuration. I would deeply enjoy discussing the differences between the conjuration magic of djinn and the conjuration magic of wizards, but I won’t have this conversation now, because it wouldn't be as enjoyable as eating ice cream with Fig. On this date. We’re on a date. It's our first date, I’m very excited about it.”

    “She’s my succubus,” Fig says. “Can we get spoons?”

    Summary

    To commit to paper even one of the thoughts that torment me at this moment is a reckless indiscretion for which I can find no justification, save for the certainty that if I cannot relieve my mind in some way, this instant, it will snap altogether. Lest my self-indulgence overwhelm my sanity in the following pages, let me first give one direction to myself and one to the reader, if reader there be. To myself: never again attempt to attend the opera. It is too dangerous. To the reader: I cannot stop you from reading these pages, for I know what human curiosity is. I can only ask you to burn them afterward.
    ****
    Holmes tells the true story of what went down at the Reichenbach Falls. Spoiler alert: it's not what you read in the papers.

    Summary

    Miss Gibson said, “In the spirit of truthful admission, Miss Bennet, I intend to spend some time devising the right question for you. If I may see you again?”

    Why did that sound strange? But she always sounded strange to people herself. And it was a familiar kind of strangeness, as if it were something she had heard before, only not like this.

    Mary, constrained by the principles of truth, could only admit that she would enjoy that very much.

    Summary

    Kirk is having a bad week. A major misunderstanding can only make it worse. Drama and humor.

    This story is not slash, but it skirts the boundaries of it. It is an exploration of the intersection between intimacy and friendship between two people who deeply care about each other and their larger duties.

    Summary

    “Doesn’t the presence of this many nuns just sort of… inherently consecrate somewhere? I’m rather fond of the soles of these feet, angel, and I don’t fancy melting them off just yet.” Crowley slid onto the floor anyway, stretching onto tiptoes, surveying her surroundings. There wasn’t much to them, honestly. A wall hanging would be against the point.

    The tendons in her neck stood out as she twisted. Aziraphale swallowed.

    “Invest in some sandals,” she replied sharply, turning towards the opposite wall.
