    Summary

    Written to a (long ago, now) kinkmeme prompt: Charles touches a cursed object that allows him to hear Edwin's thoughts. At first he was going to tell Edwin immediately, but then he hears the loving things Edwin thinks about him, and he just wants to listen for a few days because he's never heard someone "say" things like that about him.

    Snippet:
    He heard Edwin’s rich and affectionate chuckle, not out loud but in his mind, and realized all at once how aggressively he was fidgeting, the couch beneath him rattling. He jerked to a stop, making an embarrassed face and wondering if he should apologize for being so distracting when Edwin was trying to work.

    But, there goes the hummingbird, thought Edwin, a quick and simple phrase wrapped in a hundred soft layers of affection. Charles sat still, feeling his partner’s fond thoughts more than hearing them.

    But it was more than just fondness, or even love–it was comfort Edwin was exuding. A gentle, abiding, and complete familiarity, the kind that brings safety and healing. It was hearth, bread, and blanket.

    Summary

    It's been a year and some change since Edwin stood on a step below Charles, bloody, beaten, green eyes sparkling, and told Charles that he was in love with him. He told Edwin it didn't change anything between them, and it didn't. But it didn’t necessarily do nothing to Charles. No, he actually thinks it might have changed him irrevocably and all that. Because lately, when it comes to Edwin, he's been aching.

    Then, Crystal and Charles take on a new case: a ghost, 90 years old, still in the asylum she died in over sixty years earlier; lost and confused, and looking for her missing baby. As they work to untangle the story of this woman's life, they realise Edwin may be more wrapped up in it than any of them expected.

    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.
