Summary
“You’ve been running a long time, haven’t you? You don’t need to run anymore.”
Charles tried to shake the cotton from his thoughts, but Death was looking at him with the kindest eyes he had ever seen in his life or death. “Um – what about Edwin? You can’t split us up,” was all his mind could grab hold of.
“The ones we share a great love with never truly leave us. There are bonds that even Death cannot break.” She smiled softly again.
Charles felt comforted by that. Edwin would never truly leave him. “That’s – good,” he managed to say. He was feeling pretty peaceful about the whole thing, actually.
“Are you ready to find out what’s next?” Death asked as she extended her hand to him, palm up and welcoming.
Charles looked at Death, with her exceedingly kind eyes and her overwhelmingly tender smile, and her hand an invitation that he could not refuse.
He reached out and took it.
And Charles Rowland passed on to his afterlife.
---
When Charles is separated from Crystal and Edwin on a case, a moment of compassion puts him in Death's path, and Edwin has to find a way to bring him home. -

Summary
Charles, drunk from a face full of pixie powder, kisses his best mate.
~I imagine Charles would be extra silly, happy, affectionate and impulsive if he became accidentally intoxicated from an enchanted substance. Luckily Crystal helps him make sense of what happened! Enjoy!

I’m crushed. I’m devastated. I’ll give them a happy ending myself.

Summary
Perhaps one of the lingering aftereffects of spending 70 years in hell is that even though Edwin trusts Charles implicitly, he still likes the comforting certainty of taking the lead and setting the pace in bed. Which is just brills, if you ask Charles, because what he likes more than anything is to be pressed into the sheets by Edwin and made to hear just how good and brave and lovely he is.

the way that desire can make anything into a god by emryses

Summary
“I think,” the Cat King begins, lowly. “You want to know what he tastes like.” He runs his tongue over his bottom lip and smiles. “You want to know…what he feels like. And you’re pissed off, because I know.” He shrugs, nonchalantly. “And you don’t.”
Or: Edwin fell “first.” Charles falls screaming, bleeding, crawling, scratching and biting; knees bloody, spitting out teeth, and picking gravel out of his palms. But, like, it’s all fine, really.
