Summary
Upperclassmen typically go nowhere near the lower decks of the Titanic; not only is it social suicide, but it's rumored to be filthy and full of con artists. No highborn would find themselves or any member of their family near them, but then again, Jean Kirschtein isn't exactly your normal man. After he receives an invitation to the lower decks, curiosity gets the better of him, and what he finds is not thievery of any sort, but a magic dance.

Summary
Modern AU, the prequel to Wisteria.
From his first day of college, Jean Kirschtein is determined to be different: the guy he always wanted to be. The student who gets good grades without trying, the painter whose art blows everyone away, the cool kid, the guy who gets all the girls. He's tired of being the youngest brother in a privileged, impressive family -- the kid with no reason to be angry all the time and no plans for his life other than to paint. He's tired of being afraid of everyone, wondering if they can tell what he's hiding.
Art college is his dream. This is his year. School, art, girls, freedom, independence, hell yeah. And then he meets his new roommate. Marco Bodt sweeps him off his feet -- or more specifically, knocks him on his ass.
Forget Me Not is a collection of memories. It's the struggle of a boy who falls in love with someone who accepts him for who he is, when no one ever taught him how to accept himself. It's the story of choosing duty over love; family over his own failures; what he thinks is right over what he knows he wants. Told by the man who knows how the story ends, but has to make sure you know how it began.

Summary
Modern AU where Marco Bodt is 26, the proud owner of a flower shop in New York City, perfectly content by himself having discussions with his flowers, when the man who broke his heart six years earlier walks through the front door.
Jean Kirschtein is a police officer, successful at his job and engaged to an amazing woman, living the dream his parents gave him. We got a straight male over here, that's right. But still, he walks past Bodt's Flowers every day just to see Marco's name and remember the boy he met in college, the boy he left. When it's Marco himself behind the counter, Jean's entire cookie-cutter perfect world changes.
Wisteria is about a police officer that finds an excuse to buy flowers every day just to see the shop owner blush. It's also the story of love, and whether it can survive the tests of timing, fear, and duty to others.

Summary
Two years.
It's been two years since we fought tooth and nail against the ruination of mankind, and for two years it's been pretty quiet. Marco and I, we're moving forward. Well, we were.
I guess a story about ghosts never really ends.
(The sequel to Ghost Story.)

Summary
We stopped telling the story a long time ago. Once upon a time, though, people knew that the last person to die in a parish one year would have to hang back the next year and help Death get his shit together.
I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. 'Jean Kirschtein, Death's secretary' doesn't exactly have a ring to it.
