Holy by LoweFantasy reviews
Sequel to Cumin, Plain, Gang, but can be read on its own.

No one can be trusted, no one is in the right place at the right time, and Masako and John are acting dangerously and oddly daring.

The Importance of Crayons reviews
If someone had asked her four months ago what she was going to do after graduating from university, Mai would have had a thorough plan prepared for them that would detail her ascent to success. Fast-forward a month and a half later, and that plan shattered into a million pieces. The future had something much different in store for her. And she had no idea what she was going to do.

Like a Winding Sheet reviews
The reality of Gene's death enveloped him like a winding sheet, a sheet in which a corpse is wrapped for burial; a shroud. The nightmare was long-seared into his memory, and it was worse than he had ever let on. One-Shot, mildly graphic.

Business Better Left Unfinished reviews
Just before finding the lifeless body of Eugene, Mai confessed her feelings to Naru. But, her confession was met with rejection. No, it was more than rejection. It was complete dismissal. Now that they have parted ways on undesirable terms, will there ever be a time where they can make things right? Do they even want to make things right? (Rated T for mild language)

Drip reviews
This was only the second case SPR has taken on since Naru and Lin returned from England. The first case went so smoothly and quickly that I genuinely believed SPR was untouchable. Sure, we might get banged up now and again (some of us more than others…), but everything always turned out okay in the end. We are all professionals, after all! What a fool I was.
