    Summary

    “How do you always know what I’m thinking?”

    “You’re easy to read, Edwin Paine,” he darts out a tongue to lap at the blood on his split lip and grins like he’s proven a point when Edwin follows the motion with interest. “You wear your heart on your sleeve, no matter how much you try not to.”

    “I think,” Edwin tries, but the hand around his neck is tight. He closes his eyes, because he likes it and because he really shouldn’t. “I think you look too closely.”

    “At you? Always.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Edwin's letters are sent without his permission, giving him and Thomas the second chance they needed to stop being afraid of each other. Beautiful, gentle, visceral at points.

    The cabinet of curiosities of my dreams. An eerie story of a place full of magic. Amazing storytelling and beautiful art.

    Summary

    “What in the world do you think you're doing?” Edwin asks, hands on his hips in the way Crystal says makes him look like a ‘cunty British Karen.’

    This startles the man into dropping the shard of glass onto the pavement with a clink. “Fuck! Can't a guy trash his fucking ex's car ‘n peace?”

    Edwin, for some reason, is startled by the man's appearance. The first thing he sees are black-lined eyes the color of honey, the golden hue almost glowing in the streetlight. Edwin’s love of mysteries, unfortunately for him, is only rivaled by his love of pretty boys. And while his plan to confront the vulgar vandal was not exactly fool-proof from the start, Edwin realizes he has severely miscalculated how the rest of this interaction would go, because the vandal is fucking gorgeous.

    x

    Edwin is a grad student who is sick of his friends trying to help him get over his crush on Charles by setting him up on dates. Thomas is hellbent on destroying his cheating ex's car right outside Edwin's window. And Edwin is having none of it...until he learns that Thomas' ex is actually Simon, his first-boyfriend-turned-bully.

    Edwin needs a fake boyfriend. Thomas needs an alibi. What could possibly go wrong?

    The beauty of vulnerability. The Catwin fic I never knew I wanted: troubled pasts, explosive beginnings and a slow and deep emotional journey courtesy of Thomas trashing his (and Edwin's) ex's car.

    Summary

    Even Charles can appreciate the subtleties of the choreography: Fire is boisterous, with great, choppy gestures, Water is in a blue outfit and flows gracefully, Earth stays close to the ground, with sure, stompy movements. It's Air, though, that captivates Charles’s attention: the boy is tall and graceful and pale, and seems to float, his feet barely touching the ground, showcasing astonishing feats of skill and athleticism. He spins and jumps so high, it seems as if he has wings.

    *-*
    Charles has an epiphany during his sister's end of term performance, falling head over heels for ballet dancer Edwin.

    Parents, trying. I cried at the end.
