Summary
Since they'd fallen out of hell, the Night Nurse slamming the door on the awful baby doll demon behind them, Charles had been itching to touch Edwin. And it wasn't like his usual touch-oriented personality just wishing to have some sort of contact. He could control that easily enough after all this time.
No, this was something different.
This felt like a desperation. A need to be in Edwin's personal space, to keep his hands on him. He wanted to wrap his best friend in a hug and never let go, he wanted to sit as close as possible as they heard a new case. He wanted to take Niko’s place as she grabbed Edwin's hand to drag him to watch another one of her shows. He wanted to tuck Edwin against him as they sat on the couch. He would wrap an arm around Crystal and wish it was Edwin, who was merely across the room.
---
After Hell, Charles is terrified of letting Edwin out of his reach for fear that he might get taken away again. He is, of course, being very subtle in his attempts to keep Edwin close.
or
a series of moments when charles can't stop touching edwin to remind himself that he's real and safe, until it all finally catches up to him and he snaps

Summary
Of course, the transfer kid gets mentioned because transfers are rare, but the news isn’t that exciting. In fact, according to Laura, no one even seems to know his first name. The only thing anyone has really figured out about him is that he’s American. And that’s not exactly hard because he obviously has an accent.
The only thing Derek really knows is that, despite other reports, he seems quiet enough, prefers to work alone, and has the most amazing shade of amber eyes that Derek has ever seen.
Not that he’s looking. Obviously.
OR: A Harry Potter AU where Stiles is a Slytherin transfer student and Derek is the grumpy Gryffindor who falls in love with him.
There are also potions, elves, and falcons involved. Oh, and illegal use of magic. Obviously.

Summary
“You don’t have to know how to dance”, Charles says, and he is so close that Edwin can make out the shadows each eyelash paints onto his face. If he had a breath still, the sight would take it. “I never learnt it either. Just move with the music, and I promise that if I spin you ‘round, I won’t drop you.”
_____It doesn't take Charles forever to figure out the rest.

“What are you humming?”
Charles’ polo muffled his question, and the pause before Charles answered was so long that Edwin wondered if he hadn’t heard him at all. But then he said, "A lullaby.”
The answer made Edwin smile bemusedly. “Why? I can't fall asleep.”
“Yeah, duh, I know. It's just meant to soothing.”
“Oh.” Edwin rested his head back against Charles’ chest. “I suppose I do feel quite soothed.”

Summary
“I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”
“What about what I want?”
“I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”
Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

Summary
Someone tried to pull Eddie off. “No!” he shouted, shaking his head. Tears blurred his vision as he repeatedly pressed on Buck’s chest. “He needs me in there!”
Either no one believed him or no one cared. They didn’t listen to him. Hen, Bobby, and Chim used all their strength to force him away. “Buck!” Eddie screamed out, desperately thrashing against their grasps. He knew they weren’t allowed past the surgery doors, but he didn’t care. Not when Buck was behind them.
“Buck!” Eddie didn’t want to let up, but the adrenaline in his system was on its way out. He didn’t have enough strength to overpower all three of them. A defeated, choked-off sob left his lips and he stopped, his hands weakly shooting up to Bobby’s arms.
His legs gave up on trying to support him. Hen and Chim let him go as Bobby lowered him down, his arms still around Eddie’s front.
Eddie could faintly hear Bobby trying to comfort him, but none of his words caught. All he could focus on was his own voice as it painfully begged for Buck’s life over and over again.

Summary
It should scare him, Buck thinks. Probably.
With the infrequency of it here, less opportunities to get used to it again. It should.
But another flash of bright cold light demands attention outside his windowed wall, the bass-y roll of thunder rumbling and echoing through the loft, skittering over him like waves…
And all Buck can think about is how much it doesn’t.
It doesn’t scare him.
