Summary
“Not quite yet,” Charles snags Edwin by the elbow before he can round the corner. “I hate to do this, really do, but I have to check.” Edwin breaks eye contact at once. He no doubt knows exactly what Charles is about to ask. “Are you entirely sure that there won’t be any demons about?”
**
Edwin and Charles infiltrate a magical auction with one goal: to save a kidnapped infant from being sold off to the highest bidder.
Things, predictably, do not go to plan.

Summary
“Lieutenant Commander Payne?” says Charles, uncertainly. Maybe he’s walked into the wrong room. Science is an odd department to place him with. They gave him his old Command colors back with his new uniform, even though Starfleet will never, ever place him in charge of a starship, but it made sense enough if he was on protection duty. This…is a bit less comprehensible.
“We don’t have to bother with the pleasantries. Just get to it.”
“Uh, Captain Gadling asked me to report to you. I’m your new…” Charles isn’t sure what phrase to fill in there. Babysitting project? Bodyguard? Both?
*
Charles is fresh out of a Federation prison, aboard a newly commissioned starship with one of the strangest crews he's ever seen - and that's saying a lot, by Starfleet standards.

Summary
These three pieces of evidence are suspicious in isolation. Taken together, they do what all clues do: they come together to form a cohesive picture. A chorus of instruments, each one laid over the others to form a single melody.
Someone is hurting Charles. He’s in trouble, and for some indiscernible reason, he doesn’t trust Edwin to help.
**
Edwin launches an investigation into the Very Suspicious and Clearly Dangerous secret that Charles is hiding. He is extremely normal about it.

Summary

*

Summary
More specifically, she kept thinking about his eyes. She wasn’t sure what she’d expected to find there, but somehow, the only thing Crystal hadn’t anticipated was the thing she’d found. She’d been looking for anger. Hurt. Humiliation. Hunger. Any and/or all of the above, given how obviously Edwin wanted Charles. How obviously Edwin loved him.
And instead she’d found nothing. Boredom, almost, but more vacant. A polite sort of waiting for something to be over, so he could get on with his day and not think about it any longer.
*
Being roommates and co-detectives with two vampires isn't easy. Or: Crystal Palace's friendship with one Edwin Paine, over the course of a year.

Summary
"Need I remind you that I am nearly 125 years old myself? Forty is not old.”
“Yeah, but normally you’ve got that—you know,” Crystal gestures vaguely at him, “twink eternal thing going on. Very Twilight.” She looks him up and down. “Though I guess you’re sort of serving sexy, MILF-y librarian right now.”
**
Two ghosts in disguise, a teenage psychic, and a sexist creep walk into a bar. The joke writes itself.

Summary
Charles hates enclosed spaces. Edwin minds them much less than he should. Neither of them is very happy about it.

Or: Edwin and Charles get locked in an iron coffin together, the fic.

Summary
They’ve been working it out slowly in the two months since that awful night—it being something romantic, something that’s quite frankly more than dating, yet not all that different in shape from what existed before.
Point is, as much as Charles loves Crystal, a little time just for him and Edwin had sounded…nice. And probably needed. Except now she won’t be back until Thursday.
Which is fine. Totally fine. No outside rescue just means that they have to save themselves, that they have to figure this out solo—the two of them against the world, just like old times.
Nothing ever went wrong back then.
***
In which a case goes wrong, the boys have an awful time, and - for Christ's sake - there aren't enough blades around for us both to fall on our sword, Charles.

Summary
There was snow left on the ground, but you wouldn’t have known it from the temperature. St. Hilarion’s Januaries could be deceptive like that. It was a quiet sort of cold, no terrible storm or ice crunching underfoot, but just as liable to kill you.
Charles would know. After all, he was dying.
***
In one world, Charles dies slowly in the attic of St. Hilarion's, with only the ghost of yet another wronged child for company.
In another, he runs into the woods - and he meets a monster who is not, as it turns out, a monster after all.

Summary
med. wood panels
mat. oil, blood*
Armand tilts his head to the side. At this angle, hovering half-above Daniel, his face and body are all shadowed except those eyes. The smudges on Daniel’s glasses turn the overhead light into a horrifying, multifractal corona.
It’s beautiful. If he makes it out of here alive, Daniel ought to launch a research project—see how many of those medieval monks, painting angels with gold-flake halos, making saints out of corpses and killers, were simply seeing their salvation in the blood-draped monsters who stayed so close at hand, whispering to kings and snacking on courtiers.

Summary
“I’m controlling it,” Magnus gritted out. “The bleeding.”
***
Charles and Magnus talk about their feelings, behave passive aggressively, and tend to their wounds—not necessarily in that order.
