Physical Evidence in the Abercroft Case: Exhibit 1, Letters by melonpen
Fandoms: Original Work

Summary
The Abercroft Case, while once thrilling Victorian society from the lowest classes to the upper crust, has since fallen into obscurity. The facts are these:
1) Mary Abercroft née Paisley dies in a house fire, and her sister, Laura Paisley, is severely injured.
2) Her widower, John, promptly leaves England for Egypt, with teenage child Avery in tow. (As for precisely why, we have unfortunately little concrete answers. Financial records indicate John funded his brother Arthur’s excavation efforts in the Valley of the Kings, perhaps indicating some long-term interest. It would also have provided an opportunity to remove Avery from the rumor mill of London.)
3) Arthur dies, Avery vanishes, and John soon follows his brother.

He had always found Candlewick an odd name for a child."
—
Or, how Candlewick slowly makes his way into Geppetto's family.

“I want you dead,” she said cheerfully.
He could not help it. He chuckled. The last time he had done that around her, the sound had been low and rough with smoke. It had only been two weeks, but at this point, he could not associate that laugh with himself more than the feeling of not having a bullet wound in his body. It only made him hate her more.
“What’s new?” he said at last.
_
Or, in which the Handler wants Five dead, and there's only one person she would trust with the job. It's not herself.
