Summary
It’s raining. Inside the office. Edwin is irritated. Crystal is irritated. Charles is just happy to be spending time with his two favorite people.
This is just a very silly little fic! Enjoy!

Summary
I love that the boys have this dynamic where Edwin holds out his hand and Charles just knows to give him whatever thing he needs. Except that sometime after Port Townsend, Edwin turns his hand toward Charles and Charles thinks he wants to hold hands.
They both get a little flustered.

Summary
It was just A Lot – to have never been held in that way, touched in that way, to have never had his layers removed in front of another. Edwin was acutely aware of his lack of experience. Every touch from Charles felt not nearly enough and yet completely overwhelming at the same time. But he so desperately wanted more.
So they were taking things slow.

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
After months of separation, Damen is more than eager to reunite with Laurent. Unforeseen situations make their night together more emotional than either of them anticipated.
“I am aware of Patran costume.” Laurent reached up and kissed him again, his lips brushing against the beard. Damen could feel the shuddering of Laurent’s breath.
“And how does that feel?” Damen taunted, kissing along Laurent’s lower lip and chin.
The light frown was still on, but Laurent’s mouth parted slightly, pliant to the contact. “It does suit you.”Bookmarked by QuintessentialShip

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.
