Summary
“I could say the same for you,” Edwin says, slowly turning around. “Where on earth did you get that outfit, Charles?”
Charles’ mouth drops open. “My outfit? Look at you—is this how you dressed, then? Back in 1916?”
“Not precisely,” Edwin says, looking down at the both of them with curiosity. “This is—slightly before my time.” His eyes flick up, then down Charles’ frame, and Charles fights the curious urge to look away. “Never did I think I would see you in a frock coat, Charles.”
“Well, if it comes to that,” Charles says, “I never thought I’d see you with a proper tobacco pipe.”

During a relatively routine inspection of a possibly haunted library, the boys get sucked into a Sherlock Holmes story—and, as far as they can tell, will have to act out the story as Holmes and Watson, if they ever want to go home again.

Summary
Sokka isn’t stupid. Not that his sister is, mind you (at least, he’d never call her that to her face now that she’s honed her waterbending), or any of the rest of Team Avatar, although sometimes it feels like he’s living in a different world from the rest of them — a world where running out of food means starving, and walking into a town full of firebenders with the Avatar in tow will get you killed, rather than help you free a beaten-down Earthbender colony.
Anyways.
Sokka isn’t stupid, which is why he laughs directly in Aunt Wu’s face when she tells him that he will marry the Fire Lord.

Summary
McCoy’s voice was taking on a particularly irritated tone, and beyond those walls, beyond the borders that made up the entire world for Jim, he felt a flash of emotion. It was muted—he couldn’t tell what it was, but the shape of it flashed silver, like a fish, lashing its tail before fading.
Annoyance, Jim realized, looking around. The consciousness—whatever it was that made up his whole world, it was annoyed.
“Spock,” McCoy said again (there it was again, that word, Spock, and it felt like it meant everything), “where the hell is the captain?”
“I believe, Doctor,” the consciousness responded, “that he has somehow become part of my own mind.”

Summary
They're finally safe, Jeff thinks. After everything it took to get the both of them free, they're finally at a safe house, states away, where no one can find them, with a guitar, two gym bags of clothes, and fifteen bucks between them. And yeah, he's sleeping on an air mattress, and the money's running out, and Cyrus isn't laughing anymore and he hasn't played his guitar once since they left.
It's gonna be fine, though. Because Jeff's going to figure it out. And he's going to get Cyrus whatever he needs. And it's all going to get better.
Probably. If Jeff has anything to say about it, at least. After all, they've got a future in death metal to plan out.

A look into the events after the plan to get even plays out.

Summary
Sometimes, he thought, in the middle of dark hot nights where the sheets stuck to his skin and he could almost feel the devils closing in around him, he might have fought it off if Todd Aberdeen had been a good man. If Mrs. Aberdeen had been married to a good, kind man who loved her, and who she loved, maybe Zeke could have swallowed his feelings, kept an appropriate amount of distance from his beautiful parishioner, and stayed on the righteous path, secure in the knowledge that there was a place for him in heaven.
And then, in the belly of those nights, he would twist around in his sheets just the wrong way, feel a spark of friction, think of Prudence’s laugh, and know in his bones that there was no power that could have stopped him from loving Prudence—not a good husband, not a kind man, not G-d or the Devil himself.
