“I love you,” she said.

In the silence between them, broken only by the man unicycling past while singing about the coronation of the Queen five years ago and how her daughter was tragically murdered by their rival nation, he looked lovingly into her eyes.

“I love you too,” he said

Favourite Uncle by Ben Aaronovitch

Lies Sleeping bonus story, Waterstones Exclusive.

So as fans of the Rivers of London series will already know, Ben Aaronovitch gives Waterstones (a chain of bookstores in the UK) an exclusive short story for the first edition of each new novel. 

This one is about Abigail, and fair warning it is deeply heart wrenching, and also explains so much about her. I know it certainly answers some of the questions I know many of us have had about her for a good while now. 

So, for your reading pleasure: Favourite Uncle, by Ben Aaronovitch.

Whispers Under Ground - The Domestic

It has been brought to my attention (by the lovely @sixth-light​) that I am the only member of the tiny fandom in possession of a copy of Whispers Under Ground with the Waterstones’ short story The Domestic. And since this is probably my favourite of all the ROL shorts I think it’s a crying shame that the rest of the tiny fandom hasn’t read it. so here, for your reading pleasure:

The Domestic by Ben Aaronovitch
