Baz started Watford determined to hide his vampirism at almost any cost. But what if the Mage had confronted him about his secret? What if, instead of threatening to expose him, the Mage offered to help him? And what would be the consequences of accepting his enemy’s help?

Those Glowing, Magickal Years looks at the ripple effects this canon divergence would have on Watford, the wars, and Baz’s relationship with Simon Snow.

Just Remember Me When

Author: TheWholeLemon

Artist: @cattocavo

Warnings: canon-typical levels of angst and violence, minor character deaths consistent with canon, cursing. Baz's mom still dies, the Mage is still an asshole.

Tags: Veronica Mars AU, canon divergent, mystery, detective noir, angsty but make it fun!, angst with a happy ending, it's really not that much of a bummer except sort of, magickal creatures, detective agency, you do not need to watch Veronica Mars to read this! I took a lot of liberties

Summary: A year and a half ago, Baz Pitch was an average (magickal) teenager with a crush, a best friend, two parents, plenty of Old Family money and an only-slightly-oppressive family legacy to uphold. Now, a few things have changed. He's a vampire, for one. And his days look a little different--he's vowed to avenge his mother's murder, clear her name, and recover his family's property--in between acing Magic Words exams, tracking down lost pets, helping out hapless fellow Watford students with their problems, and trying not to endanger everyone he loves just by being near them. Thank god he's good at multitasking.

Chapter 2 is up!

Baz has some visitors at the agency.

Just a reminder: you do not need to have watched Veronica Mars to read & enjoy Baz as a jaded teenage detective coping with the aftermath of his mother’s death and all of their wealth and property being confiscated by the Mage. And just like Veronica Mars, somehow it’s a lot funnier than it sounds like it should be.
