    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

    Gimli, Lord of Aglarond, hasn't seen his friend Legolas of Ithilien for eight years—but the image of his unclothed body and a memory of withdrawn intimacy has been imprinted on his mind ever since. Determined to accept his friend’s rejection, it has taken every ounce of his iron control to keep his distance.

    Now Legolas has asked him for his company on a journey to the Grey Havens, and in honor of their old friendship, Gimli determines to aid him without letting his feelings get in the way. But his body and heart refuse to listen to his urgings, and over the course of a journey, those feelings only grow stronger.

    And perhaps, in the end, the strength of his care will be enough to save them both.

    Summary

    “Edwin?”, Crystal asks, and Edwin would say something snarky, maybe even something mean, but Charles is wrapped around him like he’ll never let go again, and there are more important matters at hand.
    “Crystal, what has happened here?”, he asks, and a few seconds later, their new psychic is standing in front of him, trousers splashed with the coffee she dropped, disbelief written across her face. “I was gone for a few hours and now Charles… and the whole building…”
    He’s not quite sure how to put it, most likely because he still doesn’t understand, and Crystal looks at him like he come back from the Cat King’s lair with an additional head.
    “Edwin”, she says, slowly, like she is still searching for the words, “what are you talking about? You’ve been gone for six weeks.”

    ____________

    Edwin takes the Cat King up on his initial offer, so instead of a few hours, he is gone for six weeks.
    Charles isn't good at coping with it.

    Summary

    Crowley cringed as soon as he stepped into the room. He wasn’t quite sure what he’d expected, letting his friend sign him up for an LGBT-friendly dance class, but, well, it wasn’t the airy, bright dance studio that, by all accounts, looked like every other studio out there. Anathema had something to answer for.
    ----
    “Oh he’s lovely!” Newt piped up.

    Crowley blinked, surprised by the enthusiastic description – and the way both Tracy and Shadwell nodded eagerly as if Newt had just assured him the sun rose in the East.

    “Regular angel, this Fell?” He asked awkwardly, unsure what to make of the high praise.

    “Oh hardly. They exaggerate.” A new voice chimed in from behind him. His back stiffened automatically, the sound of the voice like a caress up Crowley’s spine. The accent was formal, as close to RP as he’d ever heard a normal human speak.

    He turned around to look at the owner of that voice, desperately hoping it to be someone unattractive.

    No such luck.
