Summary
Charles wakes up in the hospital after the incident with his mates and everything is—well, pretty aces actually. His dad’s being nice to him, his mates—former, now—have either been kicked out of school or are staying away from him, and he’s got a new roommate.
Edwin is kind and funny and really clever, and, best of all, he seems to think Charles is pretty great too. So what if he’s sometimes a little bit weird? Charles is still determined to get to know him better.

Summary
He did not say no.
Edwin cannot stress that fact enough: He did not say no.
When the Cat King… importuned him. When he made his offer. When he made it clear that his interest in the Edwin was carnal, and singular, and predicated on an exchange, Edwin’s freedom for his virginity, Edwin could have said no.
But he did not.
____
An AU where Edwin did indeed make The Cat King happy, and must then live with the consequences… Consequences he neither understands nor expects.Fortunately Charles, Crystal and Niko are there for him

Summary
“You misunderstand me. I do not wish to pass on. I wish to stop,” George says.
Edwin can hear the frown in Charles’ voice. “Think you might need to explain that one, mate,” he says. “What do you mean, you want to stop?”
But Edwin has a terrible suspicion that he knows. He can read it, suddenly, in the exhausted slump to George’s shoulders, the way he strains to smile, how he began this conversation by speaking of how he no longer recognizes the world. All of that, and—
At sixteen, Edwin thought dying in the trenches would be better than remaining at St. Hilarion’s. Every year past that, he knew it would have been.
How many times, in his 16 years of life and the many decades after, has he wanted to stop?

Summary
Alive and grown up AU where Edwin and Charles have been together for years now.
Edwin's got it all laid out perfectly - planned the perfect proposal for his perfect partner and when he says yes they live happily ever after. Right?
Except before he can set it in motion, something has Charles crying the kitchen at some godforsaken hour, and everything starts to go terribly sideways.
Things aren't looking so good for that happily ever after, are they?
