    Summary

    So now there is Charles, trying to physically make himself the size of a dandelion sprite in Niko's mason jar to fit right into the crook of Edwin's better judgement. He should be sorry, given what he's done, but he has no qualms, takes no prisoners, the full arsenal of his unruly magnetism on display. What is left of Edwin is shredded into tiny iron filings and sprinkled on a sheet of paper.

    And if he stands in the middle of it, what is Edwin supposed to do? Not cluster along the flux lines?

    Impossible.

    (Charles uses the love card to get out of an argument, fucks around and finds out.)

    Summary

    Charles isn’t a big reader, but books are about the world, and he likes the world. Despite everything. He particularly likes the world when Edwin’s in it with him.

    or, five stories Charles Rowland never finished and one he’s desperately trying to.

    Summary

    A goddess, a ghost, a crow and a cat all walk into an alley, Niko thought. It wasn’t a bad opening for a joke. She couldn’t figure out the ending, though.

    Summary

    No one cared; no one ever did. The world turned on, grinding the bones of the forgotten to dust as it went. You could run and run and run, and it didn’t matter – it would catch you in the end.

    Edwin cared.

    how could anything bad ever happen to you by Anonymous

    Summary

    Ironically enough, now that Crystal had her memories back, she had a whole new set ready that she was willing to trade away. Hey David, want to have this one of Edwin screaming on Esther fucking Finch’s table? What about this one of Charles chained up like a dog on the floor, iron searing his neck every time he moved? Oh, David, you’ll love this one. It’s Niko on the floor, all in pretty, impractical white, because Niko had never heard of the word practical. She’s spilling red across everything she touches because Niko is bleeding out, she’s dying. Crystal remembers the sheer bewilderment of that moment. Nothing bad was ever supposed to happen to Niko. Crystal had saved her from the dandelion sprites; she was supposed to stay saved.

    She had not felt dead, in Crystal’s arms, even with all the blood.
