    Summary

    At first he thinks it's a fluke— it's gotta be, right? He'd know if the alpha he'd been sharing a room with for months now wasn't actually an alpha.

    Except now that he thinks about it, some things are starting to make sense. Like the fact that—until now—he hasn't caught a hint of Edwin's scent. Or the abundance of blankets and pillows on his bed that doesn't not look like a low-key nest. Or that one time he walked in on Edwin changing and was met with a panicked shriek, followed by a really cagey interrogation about whether Charles saw anything. Yeah, okay, maybe this turn of events shouldn't actually be all that unexpected to Charles after all.

    -

    Charles is forced to go off his suppressants and spend his rut with an omega assigned to help him through it. He really was not expecting the omega who greets him, and really doesn't want to lose control.

    Summary

    Something clicks in her mind. "Edwin… what year is it?"

    Edwin frowns. Has she lost her mind or is she now certain he lost his?

    "1916."

    -

    On a case tracking down a psychic vampire at an annual ball, Edwin is hypnotized into believing he is back in 1916, leading him to some unnerving conclusions about the girl he is with and what his future holds.

    Summary

    Psychomanteum, noun. A dimly-lit room containing a comfortable chair and a mirror angled so that it reflects only darkness, intended to communicate with spirits of the dead.

     

    It is our privilege to welcome you back, one and all, for the Summer 2024 season at the London Athenaeum. As some of you will no doubt be aware, this past winter saw a spate of minor thefts, with one enterprising thief successfully removing a marble bust of the goddess Carpundia. We are pleased to report that the probate court proceedings are now complete, and all of the stolen artifacts have been returned to us. For safety reasons, we must now ask that all rosaries, japa mala, ojuzu, komboskini, misbaha and other similar prayer beads are left at the door and collected upon exit on account of one of our new acquisitions, a devil vitrified in a prism of glass, and the multiple recent incidents of attempted strangulation.

    We are proud to present a slate of all new exhibitions and events, including the crown jewel of this season: an exhibition on the 170 year history of the Athenaeum itself by acting head curator Edwin Payne. This is the distillation of an extraordinary life’s work, and one not to be missed.

    Summary

    So, Christmas really was magic. It meant things could be willed into existence, it meant that things that would never normally be possible suddenly happened, and no one blinked an eyelid. It was the only possible reason Charles could think of for what had just happened to him. One moment, he had been in the office with Edwin, decorating the Christmas tree and gazing at his best mate in the whole world- desperately trying to think what on earth he could get him for Christmas- and the next moment he was falling, spinning through darkness before landing wherever on earth he was now.

    [or, two boys are so determined to make this Christmas perfect that they make time travel happen]
