Summary
He actually takes a moment to think about what Edwin said, what he’s being asked for. Edwin wants him to be happy. Wants to know if he isn’t. And not just in the way they already complain to each other. No, Edwin wants to know the big things. The ones Charles himself doesn’t like to think about ever if he can help it.
Edwin, who has spent the last 35 years shying away from any emotion more serious than a chuckle, is asking to be let in. Let in even when he admits it doesn’t make sense to him. Edwin, who, in the literal worst place in the universe, stopped and stayed longer just to give Charles the key to his heart.
——
Emotional honesty does not come naturally. A look back and a look forward.

Summary
“I dunno what being in love’s supposed to feel like,” Charles had confessed. “I dunno if it’s how I feel about you, or if I even can feel it. But I know I have never loved a single person in my life more than I love you. I know I’d go to hell a million times if it could keep you safe. I’d fight Lucifer themself to keep you safe. I’d do it in a heartbeat. And, I mean—that's as good a place to start as any, innit?”
And Edwin, sitting below Charles in his chair, hand brushing Charles’s on the desk, had smiled and said, “I would think it is a great deal more than that.”
OR: An exploration of Edwin and Charles's boundary-defying love for each other, as facilitated by reading aloud as a love language.

Summary
Peter likes Wade. A lot. Like-likes him. But this is a problem, see? Because Wade has no idea who is behind the Spiderman mask.
And then they go to a New Years Eve Party hosted by Tony Stark, get completely wasted, and suddenly this does not seem to be nearly as much of a problem as Peter originally thought. Because Peter always makes the best decisions while drunk, don't you know? Especially when his decision involves getting into Deadpool's pants.

Fíli lived his life by an old dwarven proverb: when a fool drops a treasure, a wise man picks it up (it sounded better in the original khuzdul).
Bella Baggins never quite fit in the Shire. Perhaps she was made for the mountains, instead.

The London season of 1814 finds itself descended upon by a veritable horde of dragons--and their eligible captains. Shameless Regency trash.

Summary
It’s not so much the strange children falling from the sky that are worrying Harry. It’s more that the children don’t seem to think the situation is all that weird.
“No matter where I go,” Ed said thoughtfully, “there’s a goddamn pyromaniac there waiting for me.”

Summary
So first of all, it’s totally not weird to watch your night scout sleeping.
Second, it's not weird to pick up a few words of a language when you hear it all the time.
And finally, Emil really, really doesn't have a crush on Lalli.

Bookmarker's Notes
The first night, Rodney rolled over in bed, put his arm around the warm body next to him, and went on sleeping.
The second night, he stirred to near-consciousness when someone curled up behind him and breathed into his shoulder, and he had to shift around a bit and scrunch the pillow to get comfortable.
The third night, an elbow in the ribs made him blink, and when he did, he saw a shock of dark hair over sharp, pretty features. "You're not supposed to be here," Rodney said.
"I'm not," Sheppard said in a sleepy, annoyed, reasonable voice, tucked his head under Rodney's chin, and began to snore peacefully against Rodney's collarbone.

Summary
“I’m not in love with you.”
“Ah,” says Edwin, succeeding a pause that goes on longer than he plans it to. “I see.”
“Shit, no, sorry, that’s not what I—”
“Charles, you mustn’t apologize—”
“No, Eds, wait, wait. That came out all wrong.” And Charles clutches Edwin’s hand tighter, so Edwin clutches back, taking strange comfort in the curve of Charles’s fingers, the ridge of his knuckles. Terrain that is somehow more familiar to Edwin than the paths he’s carved through Hell. “What I meant is, I’m not ever gonna be, like, in love with you. Romantically. I just—” His inhale is a juttering scrape of breath excavated from deep inside, and Edwin feels it as though it is his lungs that draw it in. “I love you, Edwin. I’ve always loved you. And after you confessed in Hell, I thought—well, I thought what I felt for you had to change. But it didn’t, and it won’t. I’m never gonna have a romantic notion towards anyone in the entire world, and I love you, and it’d be aces to kiss you.”
[ or: an aromantic awakening, a kiss, several bouts of crying, and a long cuddle on the couch. more or less in that order. ]

Summary
The misty remains of the thing haven’t even cleared from the air of the office when Smiley—still on his back, rolling over like a golden retriever—is looking again to Uptight and grinning wide in a way the Postman can only reliably describe as stupid. He’s been standing here observing the ruckus for a good minute, now, and the two of them are completely in their own world, unaware of anything but each other.
It takes him a tick, but Uptight smiles, too.
(or: the Postman, observing.)

How absurd a thing it is, for a mer to drown.
or
A look at the lives, deaths, and meeting of our favorite boys, through a monster au lense, where Charles is a mer, and Edwin is a living automaton, and something goes a little wrong with both of them when they die.Rated M for language, potentially disturbing imagery, and referenced abuse. (Rating is mostly for the author's piece of mind.)
