    Summary

    In which Crystal moves in, solves a case, gets confused, and helps everyone realize the power of love. Or something.

    They sit in silence for another moment - he, fit of friendship over, studying the engraving on the cover of the Night Nurse’s book, she, embarrassed at this bonding moment between them, readjusting herself on the couch.

    Edwin stands and makes his way to his bookshelves. “Would you like to read something a bit more cheerful?”

    “Yes, please,” Crystal says, truthfully, and extends her hands for the heavy tome that he gives her.

    They sit in silence together for another few moments, and then - “What the fuck, Edwin, in what world is ‘A Dissertation on Modern Age Poisons’ ‘more cheerful’?”

    Summary

    Far is a new term for them. They didn’t really have too far, before, which Charles supposes is because he assumed they were already as far as they could go. He’d given up his own personal forever for Edwin, back when he only knew him as the lonely spirit who’d said he wasn’t good with people, even after he’d spent an entire night comforting a complete stranger.

    They’d talked about it, after.

    I had forever, Edwin had told him, smiling ruefully. You only had a few hours. What is that compared with an eternity?

    I want that eternity, Charles hadn’t said. Those “few hours” convinced me to sacrifice a lot, Charles hadn’t said. Thirty years convinced me to sacrifice everything, Charles hadn’t said. Everything but being with you.

    Summary

    Edwin Payne and Charles Roland are not Orpheus and Eurydice. They are not tragic figures of myth, children of gods and spirits, immortalized in verse by the poets of old. They’re nothing special at all – just two boys too stubborn to move on.

    With that said, however… Edwin must admit that there are certain similarities.

    Summary

    You pace the length of the living room, glancing up at the clock on the wall with growing trepidation. It’s ten o’clock. Stiles texted at eight, said be there soon and you better have my reeses this time you fucker.

    “Maybe his Jeep broke down again,” Allison says, but anxiety flows off of her in waves, pungent and sour. She doesn’t believe that anymore than you do.

    Summary

    Dear Dream,

    Captain Puffy said that it would be a good idea to write out my feelings. Something about expression and not repression.
