    Summary

    And like Edwin can feel it somehow, can read Charles' mind like he's sometimes wondered about, he looks back at Charles. His eyes narrow, thoughtful, gears turning, before they widen. And he knows. Or he knows that Charles knows.

    Summary

    "The spell forces honesty out of the afflicted target," Edwin says promptly. "I seem to be compelled to answer any question, as well as unable to lie when answering."

    There's a brief silence while everyone takes that in - including Edwin, who immediately looks down at the floor, lips pressed tightly together.

    "So this is your actual nightmare," Crystal deadpans. "Great."

    After their near-miss in the Tall Forest, Charles feels that he and Edwin are finally getting back to normal - until the Cat King's meddling shows him just how much his best mate has been keeping from him. With the cat's magic forcing Edwin to tell the truth, Charles must help him navigate not only troubling questions and unwilling answers, but their own partnership and the secrets between them that threaten to change everything.

    Summary

    Edwin lies with his head buried in Charles’ neck, eyes closed and content to let the world continue its course as the light that touches his face filters through Charles’ hair. There is warm breath where breath should not be – against skin on a neck long dead, from a boy dead long before that – but it is not alarming, simply soothing. An even heave of air filling the space between murmured words.

    Charles’ arm may be the only thing stopping Edwin from tumbling off the couch onto the ground, hand snug at his waist pulling him closer, allowing them to press together from shoulder to hip. Charles’ left hand holds a book, thumb pinning the inner spine upright. Edwin rather connects with the book in that way, his own spine stilling at every innocent, rhythmic brush of Charles’ fingers across it.

    Summary

    Light flares up from the book, white and blinding. When she blinks away the spots from her vision the room is gone. The book is gone.
    Dim green light casts a sickly pall down a long, decrepit looking hallway. She takes a breath and nearly chokes on the smell of dust and rot and something else, sharp and unnatural, like ozone. The light doesn’t seem to be coming from anywhere in particular. It gives the place an eerie unreality. It makes her skin crawl.
    -
    Crystal gets a glimpse of where Edwin spent 73 years. Edwin doesn't want to talk about it.
