Thanks to an accidental encounter with a mystical artifact, Ace and Nancy find themselves having incredibly vivid dreams. What they donāt realize right away is that not only are they sharing these dreams, but they might just supply the loophole Nancyās been searching for to break their curse.

Nancy and Ace make the brave decision to hide their relationship from friends and family.
For Natalie (@naceisonthecase), from Hannah (@sadgirlnace)
They hadnāt meant to keep it a secret. Really. It just so happened that Bess, Nick, and George werenāt super great at noticing that their two friends were dating now. And that fact had amused Nancy and Ace so much, they wondered how long it would take them to catch on. -- An alt post 3x10 fic, where Ace didn't get sucked into the liminal space and Nace got to have their conversation at Nick's loft and they got together. But the rest of the Drew Crew just like, don't notice. Nancy and Ace start to wonder -- what would they have to do to get their friends to realise they are dating?

For @brella for the @secretsleuthexchange
When Nancy comes home unexpectedly for Christmas from her internship at a Boston Detective agency to no room at the house on River Heights, Ace steps up and offers her a place to stay. Which is great for somewhere to sleep, but terrible for the feelings for him she's been desperately trying to repress. Cue longing, mistletoe, and a whole lot of Christmas spirit.
A very Merry Sleuthmas for @sadgirlnaceĀ - I hope you had a lovely festive season, and that you enjoy this little slice of Nace Christmas fluff!
Thank you to @stuckonaglacierwithmacgyver for the brainstorming and @likestosolvethepuzzle for the excellent beta!
a gift for sara (@b3autiful--mistak3) from your secret sleuth, alex (@kelpwithawhy)
It starts with a dusty cardboard box of decorations that Bess digs out from the shelves in the back room. Filled with the festive spirit and the urge to counteract George's impersonation of the Grinch on Christmas Eve, Bess sets out to throw the Drew Crew and the Fan sisters the best Christmas party ever. Only she didn't bargain for a Mistletoe Gremlin and a whole lot of kisses...

Summary:
So that brings Nancy to now: desperately late, not yet caffeinated, and once again without a qualified candidate to provide care for her recently discovered secret grandmother.
Or: We hired someone from an elder care agency to live in my grandparents' home and help them out, but she quit after one night because she says the house is haunted. Update: the person we hired to replace her says she saw the ghost but isn't afraid of it, so we're good.
ā
Not to be rude, but Nancy really doesnāt have time for this.
She has homework to finish for her class this afternoon, sheās already wildly late for an opening shift at the Claw, and someoneās beloved pet ferret is still running loose in Horsehoe Bay.
The last thing she needs is this girl sobbing to her aboutāof all thingsāa ghost in Nancyās grandmotherās house.
āIām telling you, I am not spending another nightāanother minuteāin that place!ā
Nancy tries to center herself with a deep breath. āLook,ā she says. āI know itās kind of aāum, a spooky houseāā she starts, but Isabel cuts her off with an angry shake of her head.
āI am not crazy! And Iām not just scared of shadows!ā
āOf course not,ā Nancy says, trying to be soothing. āI just meantāā
āIām sorry, but if you want someone to spend the night with a fucking ghost,Ā youĀ do it.ā
sweet dreams of home my heart may fill,
that home where I am known and loved:
it lies beyond; yon azure brow
parts me from all earth holds for me
