Summary
The fae have a bad reputation for trickery and deception but, well, it's not quite that simple. The favor of the fae, you see, is often more dangerous than their fury.
In which Edwin kind of does a favor for something a little beyond mortal ken and accidentally gets Charles re-lifed. Without him. In 2024.
Charles knows something is up, but he can't quite figure out what, there's a niggle in the back of his mind, a name on the tip of his tongue, someone he expects when he turns around who just, isn't there.
As for Edwin, well, isn't it better this way? Charles can go to shows, eat spagetti, grow old, fall in love, he was more than Edwin deserved. Right? 30 years is enough. He shouldn't be selfish. Not if it's Charles. Not if Charles can be happy.

Summary
"You know, it is the strangest thing, Charles," Edwin says. "I look at you, and I know who you are, and I can remember loving you. I remember being in love with you.”
“You remember," Charles repeats slowly. "But, what? The spell made you stop fancying me?” he asks, only half-jokingly. Perhaps it would make things easier, if Edwin weren’t in love with him.
But Edwin shakes his head. “Not exactly. I am not lacking any attachment to you in particular. I am simply- lacking.”
Or: A spell removes Edwin's love for Charles. Charles is not coping well.

Summary

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
Edwin was well aware of the fact that he was too much for most people.
That the things that bothered him would be water under the bridge for others, that the things that dug and burrowed under his clavicle and into his lungs was nothing for most.
That Edwin was always, always, the problem in the equation.
The wrong number, the mistyped letter.
The thing that had to be fixed, because it was he who was wrong, not anything else.
Crystal had gotten rid of their sofa.
