Summary: There had been thefts at three successive Goblin Markets, and one incident of serious vandalism, before Robin Goodfellow had deigned to call in the munificent arm of the law.
Authors Note: Yes, the title of the fic is a play on Goodfellas. No, this story has nothing to do with that movie, but I couldn't resist.
On AO3. On tumblr. On Pillowfort.
There had been thefts at three successive Goblin Markets, and one incident of serious vandalism, before Robin Goodfellow had deigned to call in the munificent arm of the law—in this case, the Special Assessment Unit, colloquially known as the Folly, and disparagingly called the Isaacs by the demi-monde. Which just goes to show that after over a century of alternating condescension, neglect, and active persecution, it takes more than a few years of community-focused policing to change community perception. Even when that policing is being done by a handsome and charismatic DC such as myself.
When Goodfellow had called us in, I took Constable Danni Wickford with me. She'd been a great help to Nightingale and Sahra when I'd been out on paternity leave but was quite happy to be demoted back to Falcon Four.
