“Face it, Toots, you’re not on the same level as Papa Diablo. You really should be asking him for help.

“I know that! That’s why I need to practice, and the book, I also need the book,” Charlie countered, gesturing with the book. Her hair singed and sticking to her sweaty forehead.

Summary
The Lackadaisy was in resurgence - clear as day for anyone who dared to care. This invited its own flavour of troubles and a slew of other revelations. Yet Atlas laid burried, his murderer still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before the individual threads tangled together for a hellish dance. For Rocky, a stray newspaper article was all it took to alter his entire life's course, where he would be just a little less lonely - where he would be just a little less uncertain of who he truly was. All he needed was a Knight.
Courtesy of the wayward Mr. Hartland.

Summary
“Your Grace! Just the man I was hoping to find!” Wriothesley glances where the voice came from, already bemoaning talking with the owner of the voice.
“Monsieur Dougier,” Neuvillette greets the man. “I thought you were out of town?”
“And miss your lovely performance? Madame I would never,” Dougier flatters the singer as he slides into the booth uninvited. “Though I was hoping I could speak to his grace about some important matters,” Dougier says, eyeing Neuvillette with a smile that borders on a sneer. “Important business matters,” Dougier emphasizes, gesturing for Neuvillette to leave with a flick of his hand. His smile strains when Neuvillette doesn’t move.
“By all means, don’t let me stop you,” Neuvillette says lightly, taking a sip of his drink.
“I was hoping we could speak in private,” Dougier says, his brow twitching slightly in irritation.
“The Madame can stay,” Wriothesley says with a sharp look to Dougier. “If this is about taking out a loan, I’m quite pleased to say I’ll have to decline such a generous offer.” Dougier’s face twitches, the man unable to fully mask the displeasure from being turned down for the millionth time.

Summary
"Ever heard of a Lavender wedding? You know, a heterosexual marriage arranged to hide that one - or both - of the two involved are secretly in a gay relationship? Well, I have. Because I was part of one"
Before Atlas died and the Lackadaisy fell from grace, there was a time when Rocky Rickaby wasn't much more than a poet and violinist for a houseband. During his time working for the Mays, his manic tendencies and unhinged spirit was a double edged sword for the organisation, and many cats would consider it a miracle that he managed to stay. If you ask him he might say it was mostly luck, but if you pry you might find the truth; That it wasn't so much a "what", but a "who".
Mayhem comes in many forms, with the good always comes the bad, and sometimes all it takes is the presence of one person to dramatically shift the lives of so many for better or worse. This is the first act in the tale of Cecyl Clearwater's tumultuos time working with the Lackadaisy, how they met the love of their life, and ultimately turned the city of St. Louis upside down.

Summary
Hitoshi Shinsou has never been much for caring, not since he got kicked off the force. You had to be a cynic to make it in his world. They called Los Angeles the City of Angels, but he knew for a fact that was a lie. His job now, as a private investigator, was to expose the misdeeds of others on behalf of the spiteful and jealous.
But when his old commanding officer is shot dead in some alley in what appears to be a mugging gone wrong, everything changes for the intrepid PI. He finds himself wrapped up in a conspiracy that stretches from the fanciest boardrooms in high-rise office buildings to the seediest speakeasies in the dangerous parts of town. Who is behind it all? What do they have to gain?
And most of all, who really shot Tensei Iida?

Summary
In the nights of the city, where music spills from every doorway and the streets hum with promise and recklessness, Remus drifts through jazz bars and crowded rooms in search of something he cannot name.
Then he meets Sirius — beautiful, precise, and impossibly magnetic — and everything shifts. One encounter at a nightclub leads to another in a flat where the world narrows to swirling music, and the ease of touch he’s never known. Nights bleed into color, laughter into confession, and the space between them becomes something alive, dangerous, and beautiful.
* * *
"Perhaps tomorrow would come, with its sharp light and sharper truths. But not yet. Not tonight. Tonight was eternal, a world unto itself, and he clung to it the way a drowning man clings to breath.
And if Remus’s hand found Sirius at some point, if their fingers curled together, easy, natural, as though they had always belonged that way—well, that too felt timeless. As though it had already happened a thousand times, and would happen a thousand more, in every version of the world where nights like this stretched on forever. "

Summary
"Well, well, if it isn't my favourite radio host," the man smiles, raising the wine glass entrapped within his fingers as Alastor approaches him.
A snarky grin crosses Alastor's face.
"Vicky," he greets him.
The man scowls.
"It's Victor. Or Vox. I don't remember letting you call me Vicky," he says with pointed exasperation.
"Well, I don't remember asking your permission," Alastor retorts with a sweet smile, before dropping it in favour of his own glare. "What are you doing here?"
*****
Alastor likes to lose himself in the dim light, rich scent and intoxicating humour of the local Speakeasy. However, his fallen inhibitions become his enemy when someone he used to know drops in...

Summary
Negotiating wasn't Freckle's forte, he didn't have the malice to see the snares hidden in plain sight because he had a pure heart. Business tycoons and gangsters alike don't play fair, they play for keeps.
Rocky on the other hand knew how to play his cards right when he knew who he was dealing with. The problem was that Rocky still had feelings for the wee lad and living under the same roof would make things much more difficult. At least when he was being exploited, he was solely focused on keeping Miss M., Zib and the others safe despite the fact that he couldn’t protect himself, but now?
How was he going to resist the temptation when it was standing right in front of him?
