   Summary

   It's the 1920s, and everything is great. Right? That's how it's supposed to be. The economy is booming, entertainment is moving along, even crime is going pretty smoothly underground. The Guild is a secret crime organization, made up of many who both act alone and as partners in their schemes.

   Edgar Allan Poe is an esteemed writer, famous for his complex mystery novels. When his mind gets the better of him and he starts killing at semi-random, will the great detective Edogawa Ranpo catch on to him - and how will it end?

   THIS VERSION IS DEAD. PLEASE SEE https://archiveofourown.org/works/67262764 FOR THE NEW REWRITE.
