This is a series of planned and existing stories that the cover the period in which the three Lancer men meet and begin to forge themselves into a family. It makes more sense to read them in order, but they'll stand as semi-stand-alones.
Several of the completed stories are all outsider POV, and one or two are written in the present tense.
The stories are (in order):
Parchment and Old Ink
Trade Secrets
.... there will be more!
