Something is rotting in the Parisian streets and no-one even knowβyet. A Revolution is fomenting, a child has been abducted, and the Dead Boy Detectives aren't as used to hating the royals as the French are, which is why they are proposed the case. Find the child, stop the evil machinations of whoever took the child, restore order. The Cat President finds them a minder to wander the city and set wrongs to right again, in the presence of an angsty Cat King.

Things might not be exactly as easy as they seemβnot when part of the machinations could mean Edwin's doom on top of a Job not well jobbed at all. Time's a ticking in Paris.
First chapter of a longer fic written forΒ @catwineventsΒ βs cultural exchange zine project. I canβt wait to hear your thoughts and to post what comes next.
