    Summary

    "To photograph me would take time, and thought. I'd like to look at myself and know that there's something there worth taking the time to capture."

    The way Edwin speaks is almost desperate, almost pleading. It burns him up inside.

    "Want me to make you feel like a piece of art?" Charles asks, voice gentle, melted. "I can do that, easy."

    -

    Charles finds a hidden notebook that reveals a secret fantasy of Edwin's, and though it may prove difficult to keep his feelings under control in the process, he becomes determined to make Edwin's dreams come true.

    Or: Charles makes Edwin feel beautiful.

    Summary

    To his surprise, Edwin found that he quite enjoyed kissing; the intimacy was warm and pleasurable, and the act of it was fun. He and Charles had spent over thirty years getting to know each other in every other way possible, and now he got to explore a side of his partner that he had never seen before. They had both been quite taken in by the notion that this was an option now available to them, and Edwin was enjoying every moment of it.

    Perhaps his time spent in the Lust layers of Hell had no effect on him, after all. Maybe his tortured mind had finally caught a break.
    -----
    Edwin doesn't understand how trauma works. He and Charles learn the hard way.

    Summary

    Charles huffed out a humourless laugh. "What, do I scare you?" A shiver ran down Edwin's spine, and Charles leaned in close to murmur his next words into his ear, low and dangerous: "Or is it what I do to you that scares you, hm? Are you afraid of how much you like it? Of me messing you up and showing you what a greedy little thing you really are under all that propriety?" His free hand plucked at the slipover Edwin was wearing. "All those layers, and they're not enough. I can see what you really want."

    Edwin's eyes had grown wide as he listened to Charles talk. He held perfectly still in the other's grasp, like a rabbit hiding from a bird of prey - although he knew he had long been discovered.

    "Please—" But he did not resist when Charles started walking him towards the bed.

    The other's grin was not reassuring. "Don't worry, sweetheart," he said teasingly. "Promise I won't make you do something you really don't want…"

    Ever since they began exploring this kind of play, the boys have loved Charles forcing a seemingly repressed and reluctant Edwin to feel his lust. This time, Charles edges Edwin until he admits to what he truly wants.

    Summary

    For half a second, Edwin’s vision was filled with a beautiful, ethereal sight. Charles had turned his face up in surprise, eyes wide and lips parted, and his brown eyes reflected the cloud of golden shimmers hovering above him. He was bathed in a gentle light, surrounded by a galaxy of tiny stars.

    Then the dust began to settle onto his skin, and Charles’ face contorted. He clapped his hands over his eyes, pressing hard, and drew in a harsh gasp through gritted teeth.

    Charles?” Edwin shouted.

    Charles screamed.

    Summary

    Written to a (long ago, now) kinkmeme prompt: Charles touches a cursed object that allows him to hear Edwin's thoughts. At first he was going to tell Edwin immediately, but then he hears the loving things Edwin thinks about him, and he just wants to listen for a few days because he's never heard someone "say" things like that about him.

    Snippet:
    He heard Edwin’s rich and affectionate chuckle, not out loud but in his mind, and realized all at once how aggressively he was fidgeting, the couch beneath him rattling. He jerked to a stop, making an embarrassed face and wondering if he should apologize for being so distracting when Edwin was trying to work.

    But, there goes the hummingbird, thought Edwin, a quick and simple phrase wrapped in a hundred soft layers of affection. Charles sat still, feeling his partner’s fond thoughts more than hearing them.

    But it was more than just fondness, or even love–it was comfort Edwin was exuding. A gentle, abiding, and complete familiarity, the kind that brings safety and healing. It was hearth, bread, and blanket.
