    Summary

    The man slumped against the alley wall looked like he’d barely made it out of a cursed battlefield. His lip was split, bruises already blooming across his cheekbones like ink in water. His knuckles were raw, skin peeled back in angry red gashes, shredded like parchment. And beneath it all, faint traces of lingering magic crackled against his skin, unstable, uncontrolled.

    Draco stepped forward before he even realized what he was doing, fingers already reaching for the wand tucked into his healer’s robes. Then the man shifted, blinking up at him, and Draco froze.

    Potter.

    Of bloody course.

    “Malfoy,” Potter croaked, voice rough. “Fancy seeing you here.”

    Summary

    ...no one noticed the empty space under Harry's name in the Hogwarts' book of student's list. It was only a rather small gap, but a careful hand could easily have placed another name between Harry and the next student. In some other life, Professor McGonagall's keen eye would have caught this small oddity, but in this one, any possible thoughts and suspicions were erased from the witch's mind before they could even appear.

    Summary

    ‘What the fuck is going on?’ Brendon screams, voice breaking slightly as he holds back the choking fear. And yeah, okay, Ryan totally understands. He’d freak out if he woke up in some random guy’s arms, not remembering a single second of what happened the day previous. Except he’s not some random guy.

    Summary

    “He’s trapped somewhere, in some awful dream world, waiting for me, Crys. He can’t leave unless he wants to, and he’s probably brainwashed into thinking he can never get out of there, or that we don’t want him back, or being tortured or-”

    “Maybe it’s just somewhere good, and he doesn’t want to leave there.” Crystal interjected hopefully, gazing down at Edwin’s unconscious form.

    “I doubt that bloody witch would send him somewhere nice, not after we broke her coven to the four winds. Even if she did though, there is nowhere good enough that would stop Edwin wanting to come back to me. Nah. He’d always come back to me.” There was a fierceness in Charles’ voice, but Crystal felt her expression soften. It must be nice, she thought, to have someone you believed in so vehemently. To have a love so true you never questioned it.

    [or, the one where Charles has to enter Edwin's dreams to save him, and realises that maybe his feelings towards Edwin aren't quite as platonic as he's been telling himself]

    Summary

    “Charles!” Crystal huffed, bringing his attention back to the phone call. A couple of teaspoons should be enough, anyway. He shook it directly into the simmering pot, setting the container aside to grab his phone before it slipped into the curry.

    “Okay, I’m here, I’m here, hold onto your horses, Crys. What’s going on?”

    “Jesus, what’s going on?” Okay, he did not sound like that. “Edwin is leaving.”

    What.

    “What,” he said, disbelief lacing his voice, causing a sharp huff of laughter. But he didn't really take Crystal to be the joking type, not for this. “What do you mean, leaving?”

    “As in top-secret filming project that he's flying out for in a couple hours. And no Charles, this is different. It’s in goddamn America. He told Niko that she can’t come visit which means you can’t come visit which means he’s being so utterly stupid about this."

    or

    Charles realises that waiting isn't doing anybody any favours.

    Summary

    They’ve been working their way up to this slowly. As Charles pointed out, they have forever, and, well, Edwin gets overwhelmed. In his defense, he’d existed for almost 130 years without really experiencing lust. It was a lot.

    But they’re here now. Edwin is on his back, trembling, on a bed they’d acquired just for this because Charles insisted on doing it right. The trembling is less to do with feeling like his atoms are going to fly apart because surely he wasn’t made to be able to feel this good, and more to do with the fact that Charles has been fingering him for an approximate decade.

    Summary

    The one where Charles Rowland thinks he's quite okay with his best mate being gay, thank you very much. But then he sees Edwin with other boys and suddenly he's very much not okay with it. He's got a big fucking problem with it, actually.

    Oh fuck, does that mean he's a homophobe?

    (spoiler alert, he's just really, really jealous.)

    Summary

    "You thought that our relationship was just, what, physical?" Charles manages, understanding beginning to dawn and horror along with it. "That I was using you to fuckin' satisfy myself until I could find someone I liked better?"

    Edwin shifts, kneading his fists together and avoiding Charles' gaze.

    "You make it sound as though it is such a terrible thing, Charles," he says stiffly yet with a distinct sincerity. "It is not. That I could provide any comfort to you at all is something I am deeply grateful for. I do not and have never required you to love me in the-in the way I love you."

    He meets Charles' eyes again, so terribly determined and kind. It makes Charles want to scream and hit something.

    ----

    Or Edwin has been under the impression that his place as Charles' sexual/romantic partner is temporary. Charles disagrees.

    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.)

    Summary

    Edwin falls silent once more, finally having the good sense to look ashamed as his eyes train on his lap, hands folded loosely atop it. The room settles quietly around them, too afraid to be any louder than it needs to be as Charles swallows his guilt and says, level, “Esther’s house was two and a half weeks ago.”

    Summary

    Walter R. Payne died one hundred and nine years ago in France. Walter R. Payne has not left France since, nor has his fellow soldiers. That is until a young psychic offers to help them move on. And better yet, the psychic knows Walter’s younger brother who he was not seen in over a century.

    Edwin Payne has was killed one hundred and eight years ago. It was not in active combat, like he expected. He never even made it into the army. He died in his school, and spent over half a century in Hell for it. Edwin has changed a lot in the last century, and he’s been perfectly content to ignore the memories of his short life in favor of his new afterlife. Until, a new case comes up involving his older brother.

    Summary

    The thing is, while Edwin appreciates Charles’ chivalry in pretending it’s nothing more than a bit of snow, the fact of the matter is that it’s a lot more than that. The whole wretched business started two weeks ago when they were breaking into an abandoned witch’s workshop, and Charles broke a little glass bottle labelled, ominously, The Shove. Edwin had opened his mouth to warn Charles, but he wasn’t quick enough, and they both caught a faceful of chalky, overpoweringly rose-scented powder that made Edwin sneeze for the time since 1916. He had hoped that time might have diminished its efficacy, but it wasn’t long before the effects began to make themselves known. Over the last two weeks, it’s become clear that not only is the spell still quite functional, but it appears to be contriving to put them in—Edwin feels hotly embarrassed all over to think of it—romantic situations.
