Summary
When a witch’s spell sends Edwin back in time to 1973, he has to learn the hard way that you cannot change the past.
You can, however, fill it with love.
*
He finds Charles in the lounge, strapped into a bouncing chair whilst his mother naps on the sofa. Charles is wide awake, burbling happily as he sucks on a toy, a mop of fine curls already sprouting from his head. His eyes dart around the room and when they land on Edwin, they linger, and he pulls the toy from his mouth and smiles.
Edwin has never been fond of babies, but Charles is the exception to the rule. The smile on his face is not nearly as charming as the one that has Edwin weak at the knees, but it is adorable in a different way entirely.
Charles babbles a stream of nonsense and then throws his toy towards Edwin. It lands on the floor between them and Charles’s face crumples when he realises that it is no longer in reach. Edwin does not think. He steps forward and picks up the toy, crouching down before Charles to press it into his tiny hand.
He does not take it. Instead, his hands reach up to pat at Edwin’s face.

Summary
“For someone who claims not to like thinking,” Edwin says, raising an eyebrow, “you do a remarkably good job of it.”
Charles laughs. “Tell that to my old teachers, mate.”
“If they disagree, then they can’t be very qualified.” Edwin says this simply, like it’s just a fact of life. Like it’s plainly obvious that if anyone thinks Charles is stupid, it’s they who are at fault.
Or: Charles grew up poor and is likely to stay that away, his job at the magic store notwithstanding. By the time he meets Edwin, he's decided that he wants a new life. In between figuring out what's up with the mysterious wish-granting pigeons, and whether he can go to the Royal Ball, Edwin makes him want to take a chance on being happy as well.

Summary
“Were you like Brad and Hunter, when you were alive?” Niko asked dubiously.
Charles stilled. “Well—maybe. I think I was always a little bit different from other guys, to be honest,” he said, like he was confessing something. “My old mates were definitely cut from the same cloth, though.”
“Oh,” Niko realized. “Is that why you want them to be good guys? They remind you of your friends?”
“Er…” Charles trailed off. He squished the ball of PlayDoh in his hands. Gray showed between his fingers. “Not exactly. My old mates weren’t, ah. Well. They weren’t good guys, in the end. I mean, Brad and Hunter do remind me of them. A lot, actually. But it’s more like, it would be really nice to know that guys like James or Pete could be nice.” He contemplated the dough in his hands with a small frown. “I just wonder, if those guys had been born a little later, maybe they would have turned out better? Maybe we might have been alright.”
Niko followed his gaze. Charles seemed to be getting PlayDoh residue on his fingers. They were turning gray, now, too.
“Were your friends nice to you?” Niko asked, suddenly worried.
Charles met her eyes, but he had a faraway look on his face. “Sometimes,” he said.

Summary
Edwin stumbled and choked on a laugh. Charles kept a solid hold on him so he wouldn’t fall. “What exactly do you call this style?”
“It’s an underground dance,” Charles said dismissively. “Doesn’t have a name. It was all the rage in my day though, trust me.”
Edwin laughed out loud this time. “Of course, I forgot about the ballroom dance craze of 1987.”
“Exactly. Now hold on!” Edwin knew Charles well enough by now to intuit what he meant, and he latched onto Charles’ shoulder with a death grip just before Charles dipped him low to the ground.
“You’re going to drop me!” he sputtered. Charles laughed and hauled him back up. They both knew full well that Charles would do no such thing. Edwin just liked to act scandalized for the fun of it.
“Have I ever dropped you before?” Charles asked smugly, falling back into a two-step.
“There’s a first time for everything,” Edwin retorted.

Summary
The store would be empty and quiet. And Seokjin would walk over and more or less collapse on the stool next to Namjoon’s. And he would smile—not his polite customer service smile—a real smile. One that was tired around the edges but no less genuine. And he would say,
“You should go home—one of us should go home, at least.”
And Namjoon would smile back at him and agree.
But he would still end up staying another hour.
or
A quiet life and a quiet love.

Summary
Nicolò looks sheepish. "I killed you yesterday, and you awoke at the same time, the same place. But when I die, I wake at different times, different places. This bolt," he tosses it to Yusuf and it lands in the dirt by his knee, "it killed me yesterday, but I woke up many years from now. I lived several lifetimes in those places before returning here and pulling it from my neck."
Nicky's lives and deaths are different. He is unstuck from time - at every death he revives into a different point in his life. Each time he is struck down he wonders, will he awaken to deserts and swords? Will it be gunshots in cities? Joe and Nicky build a fractured life together, falling in love across two different sets of centuries, then patiently waiting for the other to fall in love too. He meets the rest of their little family out of order, but they still build a family around Nicky's involuntary time-traveling.

--His clothing was expensive and stylish;
--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Summary
Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?
But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.
(Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)

Summary
Seokjin knew that nine years ago Rap Monster performed a show in a tiny club in Hongdae, had gone to the bathroom, and then had just…walked out. Never to be seen in the music industry ever again.
Which is why when Seokjin jerked awake in the middle of the night, his arms flaying in an uncoordinated attempt to fight off whoever was trying to murder him, he didn’t actually murder Jungkook. Mostly because Jungkook was so strong now and had pressed all of his weight on top of Seokjin—but also because he was practically yelling—
“New Rap Mon music just dropped on Soundcloud!”
