Summary
It’s fall of 1840, after the events of Death and Hard Cider. Lieutenant Shaw is trying to track down the leaders of a new gang of slave-stealers. Benjamin January would help, but he doesn’t want to implicate himself or his household as being involved with the Underground Railroad. And Rose January thinks he should help, anyway, because she’s beginning to worry that there's something else, something she understands, going on with Lieutenant Shaw.

Summary
Set immediately post-Death and Hard Cider. Abishag Shaw is not the kind of man to be anxious about the future, or seek reassurance. But when it's the middle of the night and he's laid up with a massive concussion, still struggling to stay awake for any serious amount of time, a little reassurance from someone like Ben January might not go amiss.

Summary
There were those who believed Olympe could summon wolves at her command, and snakes and roaches as well. She only laughed at this. It would be very convenient if she had been given a wolf-servant to do her bidding, instead of being afflicted with an unpredictable wolf-policeman with his own allegiances, bent about his own business and prying into hers for reasons of his own.

Than changing hearts, to join them; so we shall

Summary
January is surprised to realize how fond he is becoming of Shaw, and discusses it with Hannibal. Shaw overhears some of this, but only some, and unfortunately comes away with exactly the wrong idea about January's feelings.
(Or, can I take a Shakespeare sonnet and a misunderstanding worthy of a romcom, and create a short little gay romance set in another author's 1830s New Orleans? I can sure try!)

Quaint Honour by anonymous_yet_again
Fandoms: Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly

Tags
Summary
A plotless bit of self-indulgent stuff best summarized by a quote from the work:
"January swung the shutters open quickly, and, despite recognizing the voice, had to look twice to understand what he was seeing. Then he blinked, and the apparent bundle of muddy kindling resting against the railing opposite his room blinked back, and resolved itself into the half-collapsed form of Lieutenant Abishag Shaw."
