!!LAST THREE HOURS!! I've gone ahead and written a book, and there is a kickstarter running for it right now!
The digital version is only £6, g'wan, give it a go!
Built on the bones of a former northern England shipbuilding town, Unity City is an extraterritorial city-state fully owned and operated by worldwide megacorp Imperium International LLC. Renji Starkweather has everything he needs to succeed within Unity: confidence, a fast mouth, and most importantly, a famous aunt. But despite his coveted position within the city’s enforcers, restless Renji has never quite fit in with the company values, and when an impulsive stunt involving an airship and far too many bladed weapons sends him plummeting into Unity's buried depths, he begins to see the real human cost of those record profits.
Thrown into the path of a notorious gang of criminals named The Loose Ends, Renji is keen to help them even the score; and once an unfair gas bill threatens to leave the city's poorest freezing in their own homes, he finds himself with a chance to do just that. Teaming up with a gruff single dad on a mission, a laid-back hacker DJ, and her furious bruiser of a sister, Renji has a plan involving an audacious heist of tonight’s company Christmas fundraiser– but in order to pull it off, he’ll have to dodge his vicious former boss and avoid his terrifying aunt, all while gaining the trust of his new allies.
What could possibly go wrong…?
Cast: Benjamin Thackerey, Blake Thackerey, Bryony Thackerey, Heinrich Wolfe, Jack O'Malley

The smug expression on Ben’s face is priceless. He knows what Mal can do, and he can’t wait to watch his siblings get owned by it.
Ben uses Plausibly Deniable Eff You on the twins! It's super-effective!
Wonder how Sid is handling it? Will he even notice his magic has gone?
"Did that bird steal something immaterial from me now?!?"
Oooh, I can't wait to see this!!
Ben is clearly loving this, but he's being very gracious about it (or at least, about as gracious as he can manage under the circumstances)
You heard as if an army muttered; And the muttering grew to a grumbling; And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling; And out of the houses the buggerups came tumbling!
I don't think Ben would have been nearly this calm about losing his magic when we first met him. He's gotten a lot less neurotic and more confident in himself.
He's no longer wrapped so much of his identity up in being a wizard and it's pretty wonderful to see.
I'm still not over how nice and relaxed Jack looks. It's great to see!!
Tragically, I appear to have finished my archive binge, and at the final book of this comic at that!
I hope that even if you're finished with the story of Widdershins, you revisit the setting in the future, but regardless, I'm sure things will end quite spectacularly.
