    Summary

    He listened, carefully, and when he heard nothing from the hall, he darted for the phone. He told maintenance he’d been locked out, didn’t explain any further, while keeping his eyes and ears trained on the hallway and his spare hand pointlessly over his naked chest, and then went back to his hiding place.

    It was surprisingly few minutes - though it felt like forever, with the fear of someone coming in to innocently do their laundry - before the elevator dinged and a cheerful voice called “Payne?”

    Summary

    Charles wakes up in the hospital after the incident with his mates and everything is—well, pretty aces actually. His dad’s being nice to him, his mates—former, now—have either been kicked out of school or are staying away from him, and he’s got a new roommate.

    Edwin is kind and funny and really clever, and, best of all, he seems to think Charles is pretty great too. So what if he’s sometimes a little bit weird? Charles is still determined to get to know him better.

    Summary

    Everything was supposed to go back to normal after Charles interrupted Simon’s little demon ‘prank’ on Edwin. Except, Edwin can’t sleep without seeing monsters or his classmates dying horrifically, and he is convinced there is something stalking them through the halls of St. Hil’s.

    And everything only gets worse when their classmates start disappearing…

    Summary

    Sure, Charles will never know what their office that he’s spent decades in smells like, or if this sofa would be scratchy or soft as it rubs against his bare skin. But does that matter anymore?

    Edwin’s still fiddling with his zipper, and parting his mouth through a gentle sigh, and then—

    Why’s he stopping?

    “Charles, this is not quite what I meant when I said we should be more transparent with each other moving forward,” Edwin says, and it’s then that Charles realizes he’s phased right through him.

    Summary

    “The effects of the truth potion should not last too long, but I could still look into a few potential counterspells for it.” Edwin looks Charles carefully over, his eyes full of concern, and it probably shouldn’t, but it still fills Charles’ stomach with a pooling warmth. He loves to be the center of Edwin’s attention, always, and especially like this, when Edwin’s extra soft and gentle with him, when he’s open with his affection and doesn’t hesitate to show Charles how much he cares about him. “What do you think, Charles?”

    “I think we should shag.”
