Fics like The Name of the Poppy

Mr. Shen tells an excellent, tragic story. Unfortunately for him, Ciel Phantomhive has made a career of noticing the parts that don't fit. A dead diplomat, an opium ledger with one unexplained initial, and a boy who quotes Hopkins like he means it. London, 1888, has never seen a man quite like Shen Yuan, and the Earl of Phantomhive has never encountered a mystery quite like him. If memory survives death, can language survive translation too? "Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry. When we consider a book, we mustn't ask ourselves what it says but what it means...” ― Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose Act 1 - The Courtesy of Liars: chapters 1-6 Act 2 - The Cost of Survival: chapters 7-11 Act 3 - Are You Man Enough?: chapters 12-17
