  1. Summary

    The extracurricular adventures of one man who doesn't know what he's doing and another who should know better by now.

    A cosy, fairly silly, largely post-canon Emmrook series featuring romance, family, academia, codex entries, sundry inhabitants of the Grand Necropolis both living and dead, and the greatest danger known to the Senior Common Room: the student newsletter.

  5. Summary

    My accounts of my long friendship with Mr A J Raffles have not always been entirely accurate or comprehensive. Here I share for the first time some of those stories of our adventures which, for one reason or another, I thought it best to obfuscate or exclude altogether, not least those concerning the exact nature of our relations.

    Summary

    In which Lieutenant Double Yefreitor Harrier Du Bois steals Judit's pens, RUINS IT ALL (citation needed), makes a few calls, and receives some sorely needed assistance. Oh, and also Jean gets mad again- though perhaps not quite in the way one would expect, given the circumstances. So I guess that's new?

    Summary

    Shortly after the termination of the court-martial, held at the Admiralty Hall of London, on Captain Francis R.M. Crozier, FRS FRAS, on the subject of his conduct, as captain of the failed expedition to the High North, two pamphlets, purporting to contain the proceedings in full made their appearance; but as one of them was confessedly defective, having been authored by an observer outside the court, and the other was evidently garbled, no notice was taken of either. Such omissions therefore called for those elucidations which will be found in the following pages; and which are submitted, in no other spirit, and to no other end, than to diminish the labours of the public, in forming their conclusions, and ultimately deciding upon the matters that those minutes embrace.

    Summary

    Valjean leans back in his chair with a smile, happy to half-listen to Cosette and Marius’ cheerful chatter until the boy has eaten enough to take the edge off his hunger.

     

    ‘So, Jacques. You said you had a message for me?’

     

    Jacques wipes at his mouth with the back of his hand. ‘Yes, Monsieur. Inspector Javert told me to tell you that he’s stuck at the stationhouse because of – ’ and here he is obviously quoting ‘ – “an unprecedented outbreak of deviant and dangerous behaviour”. He says you should wait for him here.’

     

    Javert gets caught up at work on Christmas Eve.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
