Summary
If she isn't careful, she's going to think of him as a boy who loves his grandmother.
She can't do this. He comes from betrayal and blood.
(An archer. An abomination. A series of events.)

Summary
Rook has a hole in their head. Spite can see it, but the rest of team doesn’t seem to care. Mortals are stupid. Spite makes a point of telling them. Repeatedly. With emphasis. Why don't they understand? Something is wrong with Rook. AKA: Spite can see Solas’ influence. Lucanis (and everyone) struggle to understand him. Rook is fine. Right?

Summary
Rook is more patient than he deserves.
It was difficult to touch her, at first; he would reach out, fingertips on skin, and his mind would go red and cold. Bloody hands, murderer’s hands, all they did was kill, like a reflex—not her. Not her. More than once, he tried to kiss her, only to be swallowed by shaking fear. More than once, he came back to himself with Spite in control, slowing his breath, keeping his knees from buckling.
Or: Lucanis was at Zara Renata’s mercy for a year. That sort of thing will leave a man with scars.

If the Cross on the Door Doesn't Scare You by Aylwyyn228

Summary
There was a problem with Astarion.
Well, in all likelihood, there were quite a few problems with Astarion.
He was abrasive and flippant and self-serving, and Gale was in no doubt that his quick fingers were skimming at least a little out of whatever chests Tav had him picking.
Oh, and there was the fact that he was a vampire. Yes, there was that little detail.
Or, Astarion getting outed by the shadow-cursed lands.

"Mm," Karlach says, grabbing a whetstone as she sits beside him. "I think we should get married."
Astarion chokes. Chokes again. Sets his glass down and continues choking. "Excuse me?"
"We should get married," Karlach repeats, like he simply hadn't heard her. "Pass the wine, will ya?"
The snow will melt in Baldur's Gate.

The Case of the Hellbound Souls by JUBE514
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV), The Dead Boy Detectives (DC Comics)
02 Aug 2024

Summary
Edwin blinks, his hair in disarray, his clothing all rucked up from being carried. His blue eyes are blown wide open, looking around frantically.
Charles untangles himself, doing a little ungraceful flip-roll across the floor to get his legs and head the correct way around to actually face Edwin, scooting forward on his knees to grab ahold of Edwin’s shoulders. “Are you okay, mate?”
Edwin’s eyes lock onto Charles. There’s something weird in his gaze, looking right at Charles but not right at Charles. There’s ink on his shirt, half hidden by his blazer, smeared in with frantic motions of a fingerprint. He’s got a little sizzling mark right at the divot of his collar, already disappearing slowly, Charles can’t help but run his thumb over it, trying to wash away the pain like a smear of dirt on a cheek.
Edwin flinches.
Charles rips his hands away, still hovering only inches away. “Edwin, please, mate, you’re scaring me.”
Edwin looks confused, right into Charles' eyes, and asks—
“Who—who are you?”

Summary
The misty remains of the thing haven’t even cleared from the air of the office when Smiley—still on his back, rolling over like a golden retriever—is looking again to Uptight and grinning wide in a way the Postman can only reliably describe as stupid. He’s been standing here observing the ruckus for a good minute, now, and the two of them are completely in their own world, unaware of anything but each other.
It takes him a tick, but Uptight smiles, too.
(or: the Postman, observing.)

Summary
Edwin does not know what his face does, then, but whatever it is makes Charles jerk forward, one hand outstretched as if to catch him. As if he’s afraid Edwin might fall.
And perhaps he might have. Edwin has always had a frail constitution, unsuited to the wartorn theatres of Europe or the halls of St. Hilarion’s where boys would crowd around the morning newspaper for the lists of confirmed casualties, to learn if they still had brothers and fathers. Edwin was unsuited even to the safety of his own bed, where he lay down to sleep one night and opened his eyes again hurtling straight into his own death.
He might have fallen straight through the desk into Charles’ arms if they hadn’t been interrupted.

Summary
There's been times in the past thirty years when Charles didn't know what to do.
Quite a lot of them, when it comes right down to it, but then, for the past thirty years, Edwin's always been there, hasn't he? And Charles might not be good for much of anything besides walloping what needs walloping with a cricket bat, but Edwin's always been aces at coming up with plans.
And that's the problem.
Edwin's not here to help with the planning, just now. Edwin's in the other room, screaming his head off, and here Charles is, and he can't do a thing about it.

Summary

Summary
The question rang like a cracked bell in what had only just become someplace Edwin had started to contemplate calling home.
“What was Hell like?”
Charles and Edwin keep secrets from one another. The list isn't long, but it's not empty. Eventually, they start tumbling out in soft whispers, in tear-reddened eyes, in shocked expressions, in choked up phrases.
Or, 40 years and 8 secrets.

Summary
Charles has gone a peculiar off color, all the blood blanched from his cheeks. He glances to the arm, and then back up to Edwin's face. "Any break's a bad break, innit?"
"Some have more drawbacks than others," says Edwin, detached and scholarly. "For instance, unless the nerves are compromised, it is possible to make use of the injured arm in cases of extreme –"
"Bloody hell," breathes Charles.

Summary
Charles misses a lot of things from life. One of those is the movies. Edwin volunteers to go with him.
XXX
“Batman Returns?” Edwin asked, reading the title. “What sort of creature is a Batman?”
Charles couldn’t help the bark of a laugh he let out. “No, he’s not a creature, mate. He’s a superhero.”
At the totally blank look on Edwin’s face he tried again. “He’s like a detective. But he fights crime with his fists, too.”
“Ah,” Edwin said with a knowing look. “One of your heroes, I see.”
