    Summary


    Esme Weatherwax sat up and stared at him. Vimes had thought Vetinari had a penetrating gaze, but it was like being stabbed with a toothpick in comparison to the look the woman was giving him.

    He’d never felt so naked with all his clothes on.

    “Erm. I’m…” he started, hesitantly.

    “I knows who you are, Mister Vimes.” The witch scowled. “I ain’t sure why you’re in my bedroom, mind.”


    During a diplomatic visit to Lancre with Vetinari, Vimes gets dragged into solving a murder.

    It turns out they do things differently in the country, and the local equivalents of the law aren't too thrilled to have a copper from the city interfering...

     

    I wanted Vimes to meet Granny et al., so this is a case fic guest starring the witches.

    Summary

    Sam Vimes’ body might be dead, but a certain quasi-demonic spirit of vengeance is determined not to let him rest in peace. 

    Can he find his killer, and avoid becoming his own worst nightmare in the process…?


    For the Whumptober prompts 'no grave can hold my body down' and 'came back wrong'.

    Please read the authors note for more info on possible triggers.

    Spoilers for books through to Thud! at least, and then diverges somewhere after that. I've also taken some liberties with the Summoning Dark, for the sake of the plot.
