   Summary

   The Detective and his lovable partner are back and kicking in this brand new installment of the DCD AU! Picking up right where we left off, you and Matthew must come to terms with the fact that magic really does exist—and the peril such mystical power can bring rise to. While feigning normalcy at the station, you and your agent try to learn more about “The Master,” hoping to not blow your covers along the way. Will you and Mat ever be able to fully understand and explain what happened that horrific Saturday night? Will the inquisitive characters at the station raise an eyebrow at your covert behavior? Is there anyone out there who could perhaps assist you in uncovering Everlock’s slinking secrets? Tune in to find out! It’s romance, it’s murder, it’s mystery, it’s the 70s, it’s a sequel!!
