Summary
Thomas and Edwin hit it off after a chance meeting and fall hard and fast in love. Their chemistry is undeniable and despite a bit of pushback, Edwin is determined to integrate his new boyfriend into his friend circle.
Their Summer of love comes to a screeching halt in a mess of lies and misunderstanding. Left to pick up the pieces of his broken heart after two rounds of grief and betrayal, Edwin spends the next year going through the motions. Everything changes for him, though, when Niko convinces him to join her, Crystal and Charles on a Summer Holiday to Ibiza.
Perhaps things might not be as irreparably broken as he thought they were.
This fic is mostly completed and will update weekly, every Friday!

Summary
Entelechy, n.: the realisation of potential; the supposed vital principle that guides the development and functioning of an organism or other system or organisation; in philosophy, that which realises or makes actual what is otherwise merely potential.
Edwin, Charles, and Crystal return to London, where there's a lot to deal with, including grieving Niko’s death, integrating new colleagues into the Agency, and the fallout from their various revelations in Port Townsend. Edwin is especially struggling: unable to recharge his energy as he usually would, he finds himself more dependent on Charles than ever. Meanwhile, Charles is trying to sort out his tangled feelings and Crystal is attempting to get her life back on track...

Summary
Something's wrong with Edwin. Crystal is trying to rebuild her life. Everyone is missing Niko. And Charles is trying to keep everything from falling apart. Into all this comes another bombshell: the cases that started it all, Edwin and Charles's deaths, might have started something else, too. Something darker. Something that threatens to break the Dead Boy Detective Agency altogether.

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?
