    Summary

    ‘Could you stop sniffing my hair? It’s distracting.’

    ‘Sorry, just…nice herbs. Garden herbs.’

    ‘I see the brandy’s kicking in at least.’ Havelock is surprised, Downey sounds for all the Disc as though he's trying quite hard not to laugh. ‘You have the better end of the deal, by the way, you smell of blood and lilacs.’

    (His chest feels too empty for recrimination, this minute the spades are eating the earth as they dig Keel’s grave.)

    Summary

    "We should find a name for your orb selves."
    The two friends had exchanged a glance before turning towards the white-haired girl with a - frankly impressive - bedhead sitting behind them, still half-buried under the blankets.
    "What?"
    "We should find a name for Edwin and Charles when they are in their orb forms!" Niko had exclaimed, getting increasingly awake and excited by the second.
    Charles had let out a brief bark of laughter before asking, incredulous, "Why would we need to do that?"

    ***

    Or; Edwin's an orb for a little while, Charles looks after him and the girls look after Charles. They make a pillow fort, watch movies and play board games.

    Summary

    St. Hilarion University was going to be a fresh start for Charles Rowland. He had an eccentric but brilliant roommate, a stable part-time job, and good(ish) marks. What could go wrong?

    Many things--apparently--and all dealing with the strange woods that surround the campus. And the things that lurk within.

    ((Modern day werewolf AU at a University, because one AU wasn't enough))
