Summary
Every time they kiss, it gets harder and harder to stop.
The air’s heavy between them, and the light of the office is dim in a way that makes it all feel sort of hazy, really; sort of holy. The weight of Edwin in Charles’s lap, there on the sofa, is enough to make him a bit dizzy. Enough to have something humming, low and wanting, down in his belly—in his hands—in his thighs.

Summary
He stepped up, ready to swing his bat down on him— to crack it across the back of his head like his own dad had done to him when he was younger— when all of a sudden Edwin was there.
"Charles, no!" Edwin said, stepping between them.
Charles would never hit Edwin, had never even come close to it in their thirty years of friendship, but that didn't stop the absolute terror from seizing in Charles's gut when he realized what had almost happened.
"Ed—"
A split second later, that bastard Devlin turned around and swung down.
Straight at Edwin.
XOr, an AU where Edwin gets stuck in the Devlin House loop instead of Charles.

Summary
“Lovely,” Edwin says, and—it’s a bit ridiculous, isn’t it, how serious he sounds, when… it’s just Charles he’s saying it to, Charles who's mostly dressed, looking the same as he’s looked for three and a half decades now.
