Summary
The latex gloves stuck to his hands uncomfortably, his palms sweaty. This killer was something he hasn’t encountered before; he has seen his fair share of domestic murders, drunken skirmishes, deliberate, planned-out mafia hits, but this… Too much intention, too much… The word artistry hung in his mind like a strung up animal, ugly and bleeding.
The last two cases were gruesome but done almost tastefully. He was afraid to see what the killer had prepared for him this time - he was afraid what macabre poetry was awaiting for him in a form of another dead man. -

Summary
Al-Haitham remembers his tutor’s words almost every night, before sleep has a chance to cloak over the worries of the anxious mind. It is etched into his memory, the first lesson at the Academy, the first time he really understood what he's in for.
“The job itself is dangerous, yes. But it truly becomes life-threatening when you get comfortable. When you allow yourself to settle in. That’s when the first - and the last - mistake happens. You don’t get second chances here, you don’t get to ‘learn as you go’. One slip-up, and you are dead.”

Summary
Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...
Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.
(Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

Summary
Maybe it's the little girl whose disappearance turned into a murder, and whose murder turned into a cold case, and who has now apparently decided to move in with him. Maybe it's the unacceptable hole left in his life when his dumb best friend and partner in (the prevention of) crime decided to go and get himself killed. Maybe it's his brother, whose high-profile career and fantastic girlfriend and first-child-on-the-way are steadily leaving Dean in the dust. Pick one. Pick all of them. The why doesn't matter so much as the what, and the what is this: Dean is pretty sure he's going completely, certifiably insane. Sure, he hasn't started wearing all his clothes inside out, and he still showers on a regular basis (anyways, that's not crazy, just a little eccentric); but there's no getting around the fact that he just threw away his life, his career, and his reputation by dragging out his mom's old necromancy book and summoning a Class A Forbidden Entity to his attic. A cranky one, too. With horrendous bed-head.

Summary
Valeriy remembers the tips of his fingers and the look in his eyes perfectly. The glasses on the worn bar counter and the smoke in the silent forest. He remembers how the snowflakes touched his skin when the boy with sad eyes and a wild heart taught him to skate.
The boy stole the bag, and Valeriy turned out to be too compassionate to detain the kid.

Summary
In which two deeply damaged people try, badly, to offer each other olive branches without mistaking them for weapons--or turning it into a sex thing.
(It's definitely a sex thing.)
--
(Trans!Grace repeatedly gets the rug pulled out from under him. Simon continues to require several therapists. Unfortunately, there are still no therapists on Erid.)
