    Summary

    Maintenant qu'il n'y a plus le nuage toxique, plein de plantes apparaissent à la surface, dans le Paris de 2550. Henry est particulièrement fasciné par une fleur, ramenée dans leur cave.

    Et à partir de ce moment là, il commence à avoir du mal à se concentrer sur autre chose que Renard... Mais il est un robot, que diable, il est en contrôle de ses émotions et de ses pensées ! Et il se souviens bien que Renard ne le vois pas comme ça, alors il a juste à ne plus y penser. Il est la machine la plus sophistiqué du monde, ce ne devrait pas être compliqué.

    ...si ?

    Summary

    Charles had played sports his whole life.

    Football, Cricket, Basketball, Rugby - he threw himself into all of it with a passion like no other, and he was good, very good.

    Playing on Eastfield Community's Sixth Form Rugby team meant Charles, and his teammates, regularly practiced with and competed against local private boys school: St Hilarion's.

    Charles didn't usually pay much attention to the opposing team.

    Then Edwin crossed his path.

    Summary

    “A deal. You pretend to be my boyfriend for a few weeks, show up at my house, escort me to social functions and such. Your overall person, manner and opinions should be enough to truly scandalise my parents. You will only need to be yourself, only less... charming.”
    Charles gave him a bright grin. “You think I’m charming?”
    Edwin ignored him. “And I will act all smitten with you. When they offer you the money to break up with me – and rest assured, throwing money at problems is their only way of handling anything – you will take it. I shall be horribly heartbroken to make them feel guilty and any subsequent romantic partner who is a bit more... mellow than you will be quite welcome.”
    Charles stared at him, unsure of how he could’ve ever thought of Edwin Payne as innocent. “Damn... you are a conniving little bastard, aren’t you?”

    -

    Charles Rowland's first impression of Edwin Payne can be summerized as privileged, rich and aloof – also incredibly pretty, but that’s besides the point. However, when Edwin presents him with a scheme to piss off his conservative parents and get some money out of them in the process, Charles can’t resist the siren call of causing mayham for some Tories.

    Summary

    June 16th 2007.

     

    Edwin doesn’t think about the Blitz, and the way you could hear the bombs falling, even deep underground in the depths of the Athenaeum. He always harboured a particular dislike for the doodlebugs, and the ponderous tick-tick-tick of them as they made their way to their final destination. The way the ticking would stop, and the moment of silence as the bomb fell, before the explosion.

    Charles’ mouth drops open on a gasp, the call of the magic possessing Edwin finding its answer. Edwin can feel it rising up through his feet, through his whole body, like a tidal wave.

    Just before it closes over his head, he says, “Charles—”

    Tick-tick-tick-tick. Boom.
