    Summary

    The reopening of the Lady of Perpetual Grace marked a new chapter.

    Well, it did, and it didn’t. Jud doesn’t like to think of service as something with a clear ending and beginning. Life moves in cycles, endless and natural, spring to summer, dusk to dawn—and people with it, because they aren’t people when they don’t try, and fail, and try again.

    Only the fallible man can be redeemed. He would know.

    *

    what if, after reopening the lady of perpetual grace, jud employs a new groundskeeper and things happen and they do and they do and they do? walk with me.

    Summary

    And look, they didn’t pick Barclay because he was quick on the uptake, right? They picked him because he was empathetic. They picked him because he was the average person.

    But he kind of gets it, yeah?

    This glass of water is what they’ve been feeding to Salt’s children. And now Salt will feed it to him. At least it’s not his children.

    He stalls a bit, but then Salt comes flooding back like the tide. “You. Will. Drink,” Salt orders.

    This fic is for everyone else who wanted to see Barclay drink that disgusting glass of Thames water in episode 2.

    Fish Eyes by

    Summary

    Crystal remembers the taste of fish. She remembers the feeling of skin tearing under her teeth, thick and slimy; remembers how the rotten smell filled her nose.

    She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, trying to swallow it down—but then she just remembers sharp bones scratching her throat, and dead eyes staring up at her from above a gaping mouth.

    —

    David's possession leaves Crystal with more scars than she thought. Thankfully, she doesn't have to deal with them alone.

    These Mean Streets by

    Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)

    Summary

    Port Townsend, 1932: the streets are dark with something more than night. Crystal Palace: a dame with no past—but she does have a dead man in her bedroom. Niko Sasaki: her neighbour—and maybe a little more than that. Edwin Payne: a private investigator with a knack for making trouble his business. Charles Rowland: a homicide detective who joined the police force because he believes in justice—though this case may break him of that habit. Why do Port Townsend’s girls keep disappearing? What’s the deal with the local speakeasy, the Cat’s Pajamas? And who really runs this town?

    Summary

    “And what’s stupid is that I could really use some parental advice. Right?” Crystal laughs. “Like… I want my parents to help me find my parents.”
    Through the door, she hears Niko say, “Wait. Then who are those people that you’re with?”
    —
    Charles and Edwin wear their disguises more frequently, so Crystal doesn't have to talk to herself. This changes how they relate to each other.
