Summary
Mal her mother’s voice says as she breathes in and closes her eyes. Fae she reminds herself. You are fae. Your word is truth. Your Promises are always fulfilled.
Korë her father’s name for her echoes through her mind as she exhales. You are half goddess. Don’t forget. Never let anyone hold something over you.
She opens her eyes.
“Every child currently on the Isle of the Lost will be given a chance to come to Auradon if it pleases them,” she swears. Uma’s eyes narrow and she completes her vow, “I Promise.”
She feels the weight of the Promise settle on her. Underneath her tongue, in her bones and her teeth. It thrums in her blood. She will keep this Promise, or she will die.
She has come too far to die.

Summary
Audrey holds a hand up, her tied-up curls gathered around her head like a crown.
“Wait, what do you mean –”
“Pass me the bottle,” Evie sighs. “I still haven’t forgotten that time someone pushed me into Cruella’s booby-bear-trapped closet.”
Mal hands her the vodka, an abashed little smile on her face. Evie flips her off and takes a worrying swig.
“You did what?” Audrey looks rather pale.
Or; Audrey invites the VKs to drinking night as a social power play. The Auradonians start to realize just how messed-up the Isle is. Ben has a bad time and a good time. Everyone gets plastered.

“Do you have cameras on me, waiting for the moment I go to eat?” Wilson asked, as House stole his fork out of his hand.
“Yes,” House replied immediately, before hesitating as he looked at the food in question, “What is this?”
“It’s chile rellenos.”
House stared at it, the expression on his face strange. The fork still limp in his grasp. “You’ve never made this before.”

There Is A Place (Where I Feel At Home) by mother_of_houseplants
Fandoms: Shameless (US)
18 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
The most familiar sound Liam can remember from years of tossing and turning in bed and losing his earplugs in his sheets and lying awake at night is Fiona. Humming to herself while doing the dishes or laughing on the couch with V or wandering up and down the creaky stairs, Fiona was a constant backdrop of the Gallagher house. Liam supposes that’s what made it more of a home than anything else: her voice, her presence, her just being there.
Their new place is nice, too. She makes it feel like home.
Or: Fiona and Liam, at their new apartment out of the South Side, talk about the Gallagher house and its past.

Summary
When Chad died, he figured that was it. Sure, he was a bit bitter about not making it past seventeen, but that was the hand life had dealt him.
Except then he was waking up in his fifteen year old body, only – nope, not his body, the body of a different Chad in a different reality the summer before Ben made his first decree.
Well, if he wasn’t dead, he may as well take his second life by the horns and ride his way to complete success. And maybe also the complete overhaul of the Auradon government since this Ben was more focused on polyamory, of all things.
Chad really had to do everything.
ALSO KNOWN AS: That time badass Chad reincarnated as a different version of himself and no one was ready, least of all him.

Summary
“What is it?” Charles asks.
“Hang on,” says Edwin. He flips rapidly through pages of his notebook. He magically extended it a while back, so the bloody thing’s got more than seven-hundred pages full of Edwin’s notes and sketches. It makes for a tense several seconds of flipping.
When he does stop, finding the correct page and holding it open under the light, Charles’ breath catches in his throat.
“Is this her?” Edwin asks urgently.
Edwin’s a damn good artist, even if he insists it’s just a practical thing. He’s captured her likeness shockingly well. Lank hair, full cheeks, sullen pout. Wide, staring eyes.
“Yeah,” Charles breathes. “That’s her. Who is she?”
Edwin is clearly horrified. No, it’s worse than that. Edwin looks scared. Charles’ instincts all kick up into high gear, and he has to clench his fists to resist the urge to simply shove Edwin into his backpack.
“I don’t know,” Edwin says quietly, like he’s afraid of being overheard. “But I’ve seen her.” He hesitates. “In Hell.”Series

Summary
Everything is fine now. Esther has been defeated. The agency is back in London, now with two new human members and a crow-turned-boy-turned-ghost on its (nonexistent) payroll. Edwin and Charles have worked things out between them and are utterly, annoyingly besotted with each other.

"We can skip that. I know exactly who he is," Owen says. "His name is Charlie Rowland."

Summary
Edwin’s mother had always told him that he’d know his soulmate not only by the glow, but because their mark would be on their hand between their thumb and index finger. Now that very spot was glowing with a soft blue light on his own hand.
As Edwin watched, the mark glowed brighter for a moment, then dimmed, then brightened again, swimming like sunlight streaming through water.
Somewhere to his left, Edwin heard a misery wraith scream. With a start, Edwin came back to himself.
----
Soulmate AU where the state of your soulmate's soul is reflected on your skin. Edwin doesn't have one by the time he dies. Charles has a dead mark. This doesn't cause problems at all.
Inspired by JUBE514's beautiful art.

Summary
“Some people believe that if you are born with such a faint soulmate mark you won’t meet your soulmate until after you die.”
Confusion spread across Violet’s face. “Like reincarnation?” she asked.
The nurse shrugged. “Perhaps. Some believe that. Or as a spirit.”
XXX
Edwin Payne is born with a faint, scarred looking countdown on his wrist set to someday almost a century in the future. Charles Rowland is born with a faint, scarred looking countdown set just a few months shy of his seventeenth birthday. Not even Death could stop these soulmates from meeting.

Summary
His dad was sitting in the living room – Charles ignored the instinct screaming at him to move away from Edwin – with his head in his hands. His mum wasn’t visible. It shouldn’t have been strange. Charles had seen both of them alone, at times, though rarely now as age caught up with them. But he and Edwin had been in the business too long to ignore bad feelings. They exchanged a glance, Edwin’s eyebrows beginning to furrow, and then Charles’ dad shifted, and bright morning light caught on his red, red knuckles.
Or: Maybe Charles’ death was the wake-up call his dad needed to become a better man. Then again, maybe it wasn’t.

Summary
That's Charlie. Her Charlie, her little boy. Hand in hand with another boy, the two of them stood close together, heads inclined toward each other.
The other boy lifts their joined hands and presses his mouth to Charlie's ring finger. Charlie smiles, purely joyful, a smile like he used to have when he was a child, before things got hard. He looks so handsome.
He's taller than she remembered, smiling down at Niko as she hurries over. As Niko speaks, his eyes go round, smile fading. And he looks right at her.
He's looking right at Maryam, and she sees his lips shape, Mum?

Suddenly there's a presence behind them. "What on Earth is happening?" Edwin asks.
Charles and Crystal turn to look at him, his unimpressed expression. He does not seem overly concerned really, and then he looks at Charles and gasps. He must look particularly dashing, silhouette framed by the fire.
"Revenge, Edwin." Charles grins. "Crystal's idea."
Or, Crystal adjusts to London, her new friends, her new job, and her new life. It's not all easy.

Summary
Edwin's teeth are worrying at his lower lip. He's staring up at Charles under lashes like he's nervous about looking directly. If he could be less pretty, Charles would almost appreciate it.
Edwin is pressing his fists together.
"Mate, what's got you so worked up?" Charles says, almost snappish with exasperation.
"It does seem a little, permanent, don't you think?"
Charles glances at his rough sketched design of their door sign: Dead Boy Detectives.
"Yeah, I think it bloody does."
Or, 1990, their first year together. They set up a business. Charles navigates his loss. Edwin has a panic attack. Charles falls in love. And they go to the cinema. Not in that order. Follows on from "We Didn't Matter, He and I".
