    Summary

    "The Samadhi Fire's gone, Red Boy!" cheerfully, she cackled.

    "Gone?" He was staring at her as if he'd grown a second head. Probably. She hadn't actually had MK check if he'd make such a face if one of them actually did grow a second head, but it seemed like the right kind of expression for that. "Gone!? The Samadhi Fire cannot just be gone! It's an inextinguishable flame!"

    "Well, I don't have it anymore!" she insisted.

     

    Mei is forced to wield the Samadhi Fire whether she wants to or not. And then she loses it. She never wanted it, but doesn’t know how to ever be enough again without it.

    Summary

    MK began to wash the shampoo out of Red Son’s hair, using one hand to pour water out of the basin and the other to block the soap from slipping down into his eyes. It was a small act, but one that showed a careful attention to detail that MK rarely showed to anything at all. It was the sort of sweet gesture that told Red Son he was cared for by MK, that he was loved.

    “Oh.” He whispered. “I’m hallucinating you.”

    (Or, MK takes care of a very sick Red Son and tries to convince him that he’s not a hallucination. Canon compliant up to Season 3)

    Summary

    Martin finds them eventually, tapered white wax, twenty or thirty of them beside a box of ancient (but dry) matches, and a little brass dish with a slot that just about fits the base of the candle. He feels like Scrooge, fitting the whole thing together, tucking a few more into his pocket before striking a match -

    Which immediately goes out.

    “Oh, fuck you,” Martin says into the murk.

    Again -

    And again, the fire vanishes. Quick and efficient as a breath. He shivers in the sudden cold.

    ***

    Martin Blackwood inherits an old country house, but there are more inhabitants than he first realises. When eventually the paranormal occurrences become too frequent and dangerous for him to ignore, he has to turn to a group of misfit ghost hunters for help.

    Summary

    Every year, the Supernatural Society of Britain holds its annual academic and social conference EvilCon. This year, it will be held in 1999, Bournemouth, England - and almost-teenager Jonathan Sims is going to make it an EvilCon nobody will ever forget.

    Easier said than done, when Jon has to evade time-traveling history teachers and overbearing parental figures. When it comes to dealing with Messiahs of the Eternal Flame, rare book hunters, and the looming threat of a future apocalypse, he needs all the help he can get. Can Jon untangle these games of mistaken identities - and will he ever find out who the mysterious figure known as the Archivist truly is?
