A Problem Like Maria, Solved. [closed/open]
i - Blame the New Guy (3 May - locked to Lancelot and Faolan)
It turns out that putting a bounty on the head of a mostly harmless human stalker is not the best course of action when one is a Guardian representing the Night Council, particularly during the elections. Simon's made an even bigger mess of things than usual, it seems. Or at least that's the impression he got from Lancelot's reaction to the news.
"Daryl assured me he wasn't going to hurt her," Simon says for what feels like the twelfth time. "He just wanted to get information that I could use to get her off me." To blackmail the blackmailer. That was Eames' idea, though Simon isn't going to mention that to either of them. He's deep enough in the shit as it is without bringing a fae into things.
ii - Will Wonders Never Cease (7 May - locked to Daryl)
Simon has been expecting the worst for days now. It's hard not to, given his own overreaction and the reactions of those around him. So when he finally hears from Daryl that the job is done, he's mostly expecting there to be a body involved.
He certainly didn't think it would end up like this.
"And she just...agreed to stop?" He's completely dumbfounded. "What did you do to her?"
iii - Matinee Idol (13 May - OTA)
It feels strange to be around normal people. Simon has become so accustomed to being surrounded by the supernatural world in almost everything he does that even doing something as simple as going to the cinema with some friends from Uni and taking in Hollywood's latest semi-annual installment in one of its most venerable superhero franchises seems...wrong, somehow. It's a feeling he can't seem to shake afterwards, as he and the others loudly debate the merits of each member in the pantheon of heroes and how they'd stack up against each other in a fight. It's hard to compare hypotheticals when he personally knows people with powers just as fantastical as the ones dreamed up on screen.
After a while, his friends decide to continue the discussion at another pub, but he makes his excuses and stays behind, scowling at a mostly-untouched pint. The movie was supposed to take his mind off of things, and it was only making them worse.
iv - Choose Your Own Adventure (Anytime - OTA)

Impressed.
"What did you tell her?"
no subject
He looked down at his feet and crossed his arms, coughing slightly, "you're a good kid."
Another cough and he sucked in a deep breath, looking to the side, "Woulda done the same for anyone in that situation. Didn't make her your soulmate or any fairy tale bullshit like she was making it out to mean."
He'd also spent most of a whole day with her, just talking through the shit she'd been through. How she'd been dumped by her fiancee prior to getting as drunk as she had and stumbling out on those tracks. How she'd been looking for anything to make life feel like it was still worth living. Gave her his number and address instead. Just to talk. Daryl made it clear he wasn't interested in her, but if she wanted someone to talk to, she had better options than a kid that wanted nothing to do with her because he she scared him shitless.
"She got the message," he finished simply, avoiding further details as he met Simon's eyes again.
