Summary
These three pieces of evidence are suspicious in isolation. Taken together, they do what all clues do: they come together to form a cohesive picture. A chorus of instruments, each one laid over the others to form a single melody.
Someone is hurting Charles. He’s in trouble, and for some indiscernible reason, he doesn’t trust Edwin to help.
**
Edwin launches an investigation into the Very Suspicious and Clearly Dangerous secret that Charles is hiding. He is extremely normal about it.

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.

Summary
"Need I remind you that I am nearly 125 years old myself? Forty is not old.”
“Yeah, but normally you’ve got that—you know,” Crystal gestures vaguely at him, “twink eternal thing going on. Very Twilight.” She looks him up and down. “Though I guess you’re sort of serving sexy, MILF-y librarian right now.”
**
Two ghosts in disguise, a teenage psychic, and a sexist creep walk into a bar. The joke writes itself.

Summary
“Alright, listen,” Charles said, after trying not to think at all for at least five minutes. “Hear me out.”
“Any ideas?” Edwin asked, not looking up from his page.
“It’s just. What would actually happen if you cut my hand off?”
Edwin jerked his head up so fast, Charles wondered that he didn’t brain himself against the stone wall. He looked more offended than he had when he found out about the live snake in Charles’ bag.
“What the hell kind of a question is that?” He hissed.
“I’m not saying we should do it!” Charles backpedaled. “I’m just curious! These cuffs make us proper solid, don’t they? We could probably lop it off and get me out.”
“No,” said Edwin emphatically. “We are not discussing this. I don’t want you getting any ideas and chewing your own arm off like a trapped weasel.”
“Not my whole arm, just my hand.”

Summary
In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.
In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.
In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.
These events are not connected.
But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

Summary
Back then, when he’d been shaken from sleep during his reflective punishment and told, ‘The Yiling Patriarch is dead!’ To be suddenly awake and alive in a world that no longer held Wei Wuxian— no pain had ever come close or ever will. Even screaming his throat raw, even plucking the strings of his guqin down to the bone, even holding a brand too close to the fire before burning its design into his own skin— nothing, nothing, nothing to the fracturing of his heart.
And more than just loss, it had been regret.
“Back then, back then,” Wei Wuxian echoes in a sigh, the sound of it cutting through the memory. “Be here with me instead, Lan Zhan.” It isn’t dismissive but instead kindly coaxing, a guiding path to the present they now share. Here is Wei Wuxian, bright eyes and curling corners of a smile and heart open wide. Here is Lan Wangji, gathering it all to him, holding it as close as he always wished he could with a selfishness learned in loneliness. Here are the both of them, falling to the bed in a knot of limbs that only gets more tangled when someone tries to pull them apart. Here are the both of them, laid bare both in body and in love. Each can see everything of the other now, not a shadow in sight.

Summary
"You worry me," Lan WangJi tells him seriously. He puts his hands on Wei WuXian's knees for lack of a better place to put them. Wei WuXian places his own hands on top of Lan WangJi's, presumably to stop him from trying again to check his bandages.
"You don't need to worry," Wei WuXian says. "I swear I'm fine. I'll tell you if something feels off. You know me, I'm a huge crybaby whiner."
Lan WangJi frowns at him again. It's true that Wei WuXian can be a bit of a crybaby, but only about injuries that don't actually matter. When it's something important, like a ghost curse or a fundamentally unstable necromantic practice, Wei WuXian keeps it to himself. "Ridiculous," Lan WangJi tells him. Wei WuXian grins down at him.
