Even Healing Can Hurt by always_exhausted

Summary
Lemony Snicket has always been surrounded by mystery, whether that mystery is something that needs solving or is instead one of his own secrets, kept close and tight to his chest. It's always been easier for him to surround himself with the problems of others and run when his own are revealed. But when Lemony makes a split-second decision on a train headed out of a dying town, his life and the lives of everyone left in Stain'd-by-the-Sea are suddenly derailed. With threats still lurking, secrets spilling out into the open, and too many loose ends to count, Lemony is in over his head- and with VFD's eyes watching his every move, running isn't an option.
Structures built on lies are always bound to shatter. But, though the healing can hurt, it is never impossible to fix what's been broken.
Or: The ending of "Why is This Night Different From All Other Nights?" ruined me. Lemony Snicket and his Association of Associates have already been hit with enough mystery and hurt for a lifetime, so I pile on some more (but let them heal in the process).

Summary
Sure, Charles will never know what their office that he’s spent decades in smells like, or if this sofa would be scratchy or soft as it rubs against his bare skin. But does that matter anymore?
Edwin’s still fiddling with his zipper, and parting his mouth through a gentle sigh, and then—
Why’s he stopping?
“Charles, this is not quite what I meant when I said we should be more transparent with each other moving forward,” Edwin says, and it’s then that Charles realizes he’s phased right through him.

Summary
“They took it from me,” he said abruptly, eyes still lowered.
“Took? You mean –?”
“My name. The first thing they do is strip it from you. Severs your connection to God.”
Crowley risked a quick glance over the top of his sunglasses. The angel looked stricken.
“Like I said,” Crowley continued, lowering his eyes again and concentrating on the warmth of Aziraphale’s hand on his own, “it was a very long time ago.”

Summary
“We need to go back,” Loki insisted, trying very hard not to think about OB’s unhelpfully graphic description of the consequences of being sucked into a black hole. “If we don’t make it to the Temporal Loom in time—”
“We will,” said Mobius soothingly, pushing the door softly shut behind them. “You heard OB, he needs a few minutes to recalibrate the Extractor. It’s been a couple hundred years since he built it, maybe it's a little rusty.” He shrugged. “Besides, I figured you could do with some breathing space.”
