Summary
Mike leaned close, clearly pleased to let the lid off something, “Well, I feel like, if we’re getting serious about helping our ghosts-”
Alison couldn’t help beaming at him. He really meant it, “Our ghosts?”
“He’s making a list!” The Captain whispered, matching Mike’s excitement and Alison’s adoration.
Mike grinned, “Well yeah. I mean, yeah they’re your inheritance, and your friends, and I can’t see them, but you’re my wife, so your ghosts are our ghosts. And if we’re getting serious about helping them with their problems, we ought to figure out what that really means. Thomas doesn’t have to be the only one.”

Summary
Robin looked Thomas up and down, squinting. “You really virgin?”
Thomas winced. “It’s…complicated.”
“What is comp’icated? Is yes, is no, is…” he shrugged, “that cover everything.”
“I don’t really want to talk about it, if it’s all right with you.”
“What is talk about? Is yes, is no-”
“No, then! No, I’m not!" He straightened haughtily, flicking his cuffs.
Robin shook his head, shrewdly amused. “Then what get you mad that Julian say it if he just wrong?”
Thomas threw his head back and slouched, arms limp, supremely annoyed that Robin had a point. “Because it’s-”
“-comp’icated. Yeah, okay."Thomas and Alison try to manage their dismay by talking to anyone but each other.

-----
“How does he always know?” she asked, head tilted toward the thoroughly abandoned body in the bed.Titania turned from the window where she’d been goading Thomas unseen, “What sayest? How doth our poet know what?”
“Not Thomas,” Florence clarified, “Rroh.” The caveman’s gusted growl of a name sounded bizarre in her maidenly timbre, but it was his name, and that was important, “How does he always know who is going to go and who is going to stay?”
-----Undying/Aggressively-haunting gratitude to J2spnfan, SolarMane, and Certainlittlesmile for their invaluable knowledge on chapters 1-3 (the rest are not their fault). 10/5 stars, highly recommend.
(This portion parallels the first eight episodes of Ghosts UK, following non-canon residents of Button House, until things diverge in part 2.)

Summary
“You know I met Byron?”
“Did you?”
“Is that funny?”
She dutifully flattened out her wide grin, “No, that’s not funny. Please go on.”
“I’d rather not talk about it, actually.”
“Clearly.”
He realised what she was doing in a red rush. Well then, fine, he thought. If she thought it was such a joke, fine. “The man ruined my grand tour of Europe, did you know that?”
“How could I?” she mocked innocence itself with her dovelike simper, “You never talk about it.”
He nodded. The bloody cheek. He’d show her. “I met him in Rome, if you must know. I was there for a week that May, and was happened-upon by him, actually, at Trevi Fountain.”
“Really?”
He raised his eyebrows and nodded curtly, hauling up both hands in exasperation as if tossing the man onto an imaginary screen across their path, “Big as life.”
Her look stayed sly, but there was real curiosity in her tone, “So… what happened?”---
Having finally come to terms with their friendship, Alison and Thomas talk to those they trust, and then take a walk to make a proper go of trusting one another.It goes... a little too well.
(It's self-contained enough that it's ok to start here)

Summary
When she reached the bottom she yelled, “Thomas, stop!”
He paused on the landing but his recitation didn’t stop. Couldn’t. Impossible. Whenever he wasn’t pouring out odes of longing his heart was filling with them until they became a flood. The best he could do was skip to the poem’s end, re-announcing the thesis of his afterlife since the day she’d arrived, “I worship thee in love, my Alison!”
She turned, meeting his blunt fervor with half the syllables, half the decibels, and even blunter force, “No you don’t, Thomas.”
[After Episode 2 of Series 2 ("About Last Night") Alison finally loses her temper with Thomas, and they take a walk to try to figure out how to function as friends.]

Summary
“Give me your pitch, the whole thing, right now, and I’ll consider it. Bullshit me even a little and I punt you into the Hudson and walk away. What do you really want?”
He had that misty, admiring look in his eyes again, “You really are just too perfect.”
Natasha scowled, “Loki.”
He sighed, “Fine. I want help with my petty rivalry, as you call it. While you were all cleaning up Stark and Banner’s collaborative parenting, and then auditing Mister Rogers' kinetic thesis on the nature of friendship, my brother went and found himself a valkyrie. I want one too.”

It's no fun having an old lady with force powers mad at you. Especially one with an iron will, a mean sense of humor, and genuine justification.

Summary
Loki and Sif had a thing for a little while. Not a big thing. Just a bit of fun, really. After all, when the space between eighteen and twenty-five is a couple hundred years, lots of stuff happens. It didn't mean anything to either of them, surely.
