    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that when your ex turns up on your doorstep, he must be after something…
    ——————————————

    Shakespearean scholar Edwin Payne wants nothing to do with his ex Thomas’ new West End production of Much Ado About Nothing.

    In fact, he wants nothing to do with stardom at all- coming out and losing his career put an end to any desire for that.

    But then Thomas asks him to help his new protege, musician Charlie Rowland, get ready to play Benedick and well, it’s not like he can say no to a young man who needs his help, now can he? Certainly not…

    Summary

    Cat, a personal stylist to the rich and famous visits an underground jazz club to check out the latest fashion trends. There, he meets Edwin Payne, who seems determined to have a completely empty one-night stand. But the chemistry between them is immediate and intense.

    Do either of them really want it to end after a single encounter?

    ---

    This fic features a human Cat and Edwin in a modern setting. Edwin is in his mid-twenties and is more confident and sexually experienced than he is in canon. Cat is a little more mature too, though he's still the bratty, flirty egotist we know and love. This is basically taking their whole dynamic and switching it up, while also making it a bit more mature and grounded.

    ---
    Not sure how many chapters this will be! I think that will depend on a combination of response and my own inspiration. But either way, it will be updated regularly (no less than once a week) until complete.

    NOTE that this is a very soft E. If you're looking for fully described porn this isn't the story for you!

    Summary

    Charles spends his days as he always has: work on the ranch, eat, sleep, and occasionally hanging out with Crystal and Niko. This is all about to change when a familiar figure steps back into his life... just as Charles was reminiscing on old childhood memories.

    Summary

    Loosely (very loosely) inspired by If We Were Villains, but mainly fueled by my undying love for Shakespeare and oblivious gays, this story follows the journey of ones Edwin and Charles, from enemies to friends to lovers in the span of 10 years. Rest assured: the drama won't stay on the stage.

    (Edwin and Charles met at “Arnaud Tillyard” theatre school in Idaho and hated each other with a passion for years. Then, something changed. Now, they live together in Del Norte and maybe, maybe, their relationship is about to change. Again.)

    Summary

    Liberamente (molto liberamente) ispirata a If We Were Villains, ma principalmente alimentata dal mio amore eterno per Shakespeare e per i gay ottusi, questa storia segue il viaggio di Edwin e Charles, da nemici ad amici ad amanti nell'arco di 10 anni. Una sola certezza: il dramma non resterà sul palco.

    (Edwin e Charles si sono conosciuti alla scuola di teatro “Arnaud Tillyard”, nell'Idaho, e si sono odiati con passione per anni. Poi qualcosa è cambiato. Adesso vivono insieme a Del Norte e forse, forse, la loro relazione sta per cambiare. Di nuovo.)

    Summary

    A silage of musty, cold lake water scavenged up Charles' nose into his mouth where he tasted bitter salt and vomit-inducing clumps of pollution.
    It started to overfill his mouth, clogging his throat, leaving Charles feeling something so familiar...
    He was drowning again.
    Slumping into himself, Charles' lungs tightened as he was convulsed into a paroxysm of coughing.
    He spat out blood. Fresh, raw, glittering in the lamplight.
    No.
    Nono he wasn’t drowning, he was still here in the basement, right, he hadn’t gone anywhere,— Where was Edwin?

    Whilst on a case, Charles encounter a strange box that, when opened, gives him his body back..
    He finds it awful for various reasons.
    One of these reasons being.. he can no longer see Edwin.

    Summary

    "In life, and in death in Charles' case, he's found that there is a certain rose tinted glasses aspect to hindsight. The places are always bigger, the food better, and you tend to forget the little frustrations that occurred along the way. The rough edges of existence are sanded away until what you have is an idealized version of how things used to be... He was starting to think they weren't actually worth the 35 years of pining now as he violently vomited into the barely functional toilet of their office. The warm hand on his back was nice, but the acid currently coating his esophagus mostly negated the pleasantness. Charles hated to admit it, hot blood flowing through his veins for the first time in three decades, but Edwin might have had a point."

    While trying to get Niko back, the spell backfires and now the boys have bodies again...and it's awful. Turns out being sixteen forever is way worse when the sweat, bodily functions, hormones, and uncomfortably timed boners are part of the deal.

    Summary

    Moving to Port Townsend from sleepy New Hampshire just to attend the world’s smallest college is either the best or worst decision Monty has ever made. But he can’t really complain much when dorm life is much better than living with his mom.

    The thing is though, that while he won the jackpot and got to move across the country from his mother, he was still left with a roommate, who, in all likelihood, doesn’t know they’re rooming together. He also probably doesn’t know what century it is if his clothing choices are anything to go by. Maybe Edwardian clothing is making a comeback.

    Or-
    Monty Finch moves across the country to attend college and is roomed with none other than one Edwin Payne and semi regularly, his boyfriend Charles. The only issue is, Edwin’s very attractive, and Monty is very into him. But what Monty doesn’t know is that Edwin is single and has been eyeing Monty when he’s sure he won’t get caught.

    Summary

    Now, it is not as if Edwin often finds himself bothered by his libido: In fact, before Port Townsend he had always been slightly puzzled by his fellow creatures’ obsession with coitus. Even Charles, whom he adores, had always seemed to just have this… bit of himself that Edwin is missing. A part Charles has in spades.

    Summary

    From this prompt on the DBD kinkmeme: "Charles loses a bet with Crystal and he has to dress however she wants... Crystal picks the underwear to match, and it's very silky and very much has lace, and probably there are stockings and a garter involved. Charles is not ready for how much wearing it turns him on. Edwin is DEFINITELY not ready for how much seeing Charles dressed like this turns him on."

    Not only did he have to wear this fluffy, lacy dress, but they'd had Edwin put a charm on it so Charles could feel it. It was a complicated bit of magic, especially since they made him do it blind to preserve the surprise. Charles would be right proud of his boyfriend right after he finished losing his mind.

    The easiest way to follow the anonmeme is flat view, which shows all the latest updates in all threads.

    Summary

    Charles Rowland thought nothing of saving a young Edwin Payne, except for Edwin giving him a treasured pendant; saying that it'd help him out of any trouble.

    Five years later, he's looking at jail time. Meaning his mum and little sister would be left alone with his piece of shit dad and no one to look out for them. So, he turns in that favour.
    He's not exactly sure how it ended in him doing a six month job interview to become a spy, but weirder things have happened. Probably.

    Summary

    "No! I have no fever. Poppy's just feeling like "But you kinda looked pale. What if you're sick?" Chicken said, crouching lower on the ground.

    The Cat King looks away, his vision started to blur. A little pollen can't- I'm not sick. I'm just... tired. Maybe a little nap?

    "Ya! And what if you vomit?" Munchkin meows. "Edwin will come rescue you! Like he did last week!" Munchkin's eyes light up, standing up straight like he's looking up at a dream.
