Summary
Hamlet’s calm voice finally made him stop. He looked at him attentively, his arms outstretched in a placating attitude. Horatio took a deep breath, and at last managed to focus all of his attention on the prince.
He is exactly the way I remember him, he thought, almost miserably. The perfectly smooth and clean vests, the thin gold crown resting precariously on his disheveled hair, the facial features so striking and unmistakable.
And yet, as Horatio studied the figure in front of him, more evident the enormous differences became: the skin even paler than normal, the expression slightly altered, the eyes way too dark to belong to the prince.
That was a lie.
Or, what happens to Horatio after the royal massacre, having been left trapped in the story with only ghosts as company.

Summary
“I’m Loki. I’ll be your new personal detail.”
Mobius figured as much, but it would have been nice to get some advance warning. Also: “Are you eating my toast?”
Loki looks down at the toast in his hand. “Guess so,” he answers nonchalantly before looking up at Mobius again. “I made coffee.”
(Preeminent author and criminal psychologist Dr. Mobius M. Mobius is a key witness in the trial of the century, which has put a substantial price on his head. When he ends up assigned a devastatingly attractive and fascinating personal bodyguard, he finds himself desperately trying to juggle his work, his growing and inconvenient feelings, and oh yeah, all those attempts on his life.)

Summary
When Mobius descends the tiny back staircase to open M. M. Mobius & Co. Rare Books at a completely random hour on Tuesday afternoon, he finds someone already inside his shop, curled up in a chair and drinking a pot of his tea. The man is dressed in an all-black suit with a black shirt and tie, like a fancier version of one of those goth kids that sometimes show up in his shop looking for books on the occult or other such things that Mobius refuses to sell them. The visitor’s long legs are tucked up underneath him, and slender, elegant hands carefully cradle one of Mobius’s rarer tomes, a volume of Old Norse poetry.
A few weeks ago, this would have been cause for concern, to put it mildly. But then again, a few weeks ago, his bookshop hadn’t yet acquired its very own god of mischief.
(Or, the unlikely friendship between an ordinary human bookshop owner and a Norse trickster god, and how it grows to become something that neither of them ever thought they'd have.)
Updated to include a new epilogue!
