    Summary

    “This,” Wriothesley says, his voice a low rumble as he guides their fingers to the rope, “is to restrain you—if you’re comfortable with the idea. Lots of people find release and relief in being bound during sex. They can only take what their partner gives them. They don’t have to think about what they’re doing, what they should be doing, what they could be doing. Takes the pressure and stress of performance off.”

    Neuvillette draws in a shaking breath, stunned by how much the idea of being bound appeals to him—for just the reasons Wriothesley has listed. If he’s bound, he cannot be concerned with how Wriothesley might want to be touched, cannot be concerned with what he may be doing incorrectly.

    “You’ve got so much pressure on you,” Wriothesley continues. “Being bound, knowing you don’t have to give me anything—I thought you might find that enjoyable.”

    Wriothesley binds and blindfolds Neuvillette one evening, giving him sweet reprieve from his myriad responsibilities.

    Summary

    One of the doors is opened, a figure stepping out with a cigarette in hand, but it’s quickly discarded when the detective catches sight of them. “Ranpo-san! And the American, too. Good, good, thank you for coming.”

    “Minoura! Where’s my crime scene? Did they really think a ghost was stealing their stuff? Bah, people are so stupid, what would a ghost do with jewelry?”

    “They think a ghost is the culprit?” Poe wonders, frowning.

    “Stupid,” Ranpo agrees.

    “Did you both get it all out of your systems?” Minoura sighs, “let’s talk inside. Just– the wife is a little shaken with everything that’s going on, so.”

    “Of course, we won’t comment on how foolish that conclusion was,” Poe nods solemnly, “people can be excused some absurdities in the throes of emotion, I believe.”

    “No promises,” Ranpo pushes past them, cheerfully slipping inside.

    or, Ranpo is faced with the age-old mystery: what to do when you've fallen in love? As told by crime scenes, afternoon coffees, and dinner conversations.

    (or, alternatively, Ranpo tells a story.)

    Summary

    Will Solace has many talents. Restraint isn’t one of them. What was meant to be a subtle touch of Halloween cheer in the infirmary spirals—predictably—into a full-blown medical horror show. Nico di Angelo provides bone logistics, the cat provides suspicious paranormal activity, and somewhere between the cobwebs and the flickering lights, they accidentally create the world’s most unsettling seasonal display.

    Summary

    When Nico shadow-travels too far, he ends up caught between worlds—the living, the dead, and the thin space that refuses to let him go. On the other side of the veil, Will Solace waits in an infirmary that still smells like antiseptic, tea, and fear.

    It isn’t death, not yet. But it isn’t forgiveness either. Just the part in between, where love hurts, mercy stings, and neither one knows how to let go.
