The year is 1881, and five years have passed since the events of the SOMETHING STRANGE & DEADLY series. Eleanor Fitt and the Spirit-Hunters are comfortable (and perhaps a bit complacent) as professors at the Sheridan Institute, a place for students both strange and necromantic.
Yes, some of Eleanor's students (namely the troublemaker Tristan Lang) seem determined to annoy her at all turns, and yes, she does sometimes find the scholarly life a bit stifling, but it's better to teach her young charges about magic and the walking Dead within the safety of the school grounds rather than subject them to firsthand corpse exposure.
But when Eleanor's former demon, Oliver, arrives with news about a secret society called The Luminaries, Eleanor and the Spirit-Hunters must decide if "firsthand corpse exposure" isn't exactly what their students need after all.
Especially since these Luminaries and their creatures of darkness want something hidden within the Sheridan Institute...

If I Die Young
(Prequel to Clair de Lune) "We're born to believe the opposite of different is normal, and vice versa. Well, I'm the opposite of both." I lost my parents just before my fifteenth birthday. The circumstances were deemed accidental and it was swept under the rug. Truth is, someone covered up the whole situation and I was sent somewhere I knew no one would find me. I was swept under the rug too. Critter Ridge Orphanage is an old building placed in the pines somewhere in the state of New Jersey, run by a kindly woman and housing a family of others like me. Boys and girls all different in their own aspects. They didn't like me and I didn't like them, which was fine. Miss Huld, the owner, seemed to like me enough and that was all I needed. Things changed, though. They found a dead body on our property and everyone scrambled to lock the doors and bar the windows. The normal kids at school all started to edge away from us, from me in particular. They called us witches and devil worshippers. They were scared they might be next. I couldn't keep my nose out of where it didn't belong and then everyone was involved in the mystery. There's ghosts around every corner in this house, and if we don't figure out what's wrong here, we might just become the next ones.Complete

Adrians first few years as a reaper were getting lonely, but then he saved a girl from falling down in the Grim Reaper library, and just looking at her he knew there was something special about her. Ever since then they found time to talk, which lead to dates, which lead to becoming a thing. They were happy together, until one day he disappeared, eventually she gave up waiting for him, and tried to start a life in the human world. For 5 years she's been headmistress (Y/N) of (S/N), an all girls boarding school, and who'd a thought that all girls school would be right across from Weston College, an all boys school. The girls heard that Weston got a new headmaster, so both masters decided to meet, and after they did, their old memories caught up to them and won't leave them alone. And while he's trying to get her to love him again, a boy and his demon butler are dressed like females infiltrating the girls school-by order of the Queen-to make sure there's nothing strange going on. Unless you call love strange then everything's fine. I own nothing but the plot and my ocs-which are the P4 and the vice headmistress of the girls school-and you might wanna read volumes 15 through 18 before you read this, and this's my first xreader I hope I did good and you like it. Also S/N means school name because I just couldn't come up with one.Complete
