    Summary

    For all of Charles’ life, his soulmate mark was a grey ‘hope’, written in an elegant, slanted cursive. Grey means you haven’t met yet, the vague word unchangeable, unlike the soul marks of those who have met, an inky black mark that changes with each thought your soulmate thinks about you. His mother adores his soul mark, and tells him often that his soulmate must be very refined, to write so prettily, and she must love him very much, so think of him as ‘hope’.

    When he dies, he thinks of his soulmate, who he’s never met, and he wonders if she knows. If the hue of grey has shifted slightly, or there’s something more innate, something viscerally within her that tells her he’s gone. Or maybe there is nothing at all. Maybe she will live her entire life waiting to meet him and will die disappointed.

    But one day he is sitting on a rooftop, wishing he could feel the late summer warmth surely still lingering in the air, when he happens to glance down and that elegant, slanted cursive ‘hope’ is now a deep black ‘idiot’.

    Summary

    “You know…” Charles meandered weakly. “A chaperone. That’s part of the whole courting deal, innit? Someone to watch over everything, so guys like you” He shot the Cat King a dagger of a look. “keep their hands to themselves. And don’t kidnap people and force them to stay in your shit-hole of a town.”

    Or: When the Cat King visits London to formally court Edwin, Charles appoints himself their chaperon – shenanigans, feelings and teen drama ensue.

    Summary

    Edwin turns away with a deep breath, ignoring the fluttering in his stomach. His non-existent, ghostly stomach. It seems so ridiculously cruel and on theme for his current situation. Not only is he in love with his best friend, and not only does his best friend not love him back, but he’s feeling things that he shouldn’t be feeling on top of things that he physically should not be able to feel.

    or

    The gang is back in London. Niko is gone, Crystal is on the cusp of a breakdown, Charles is still a flirt, and Edwin is... trying his best.

    Oh, and he keeps feeling his pulse. As a ghost. A very dead ghost.

    The trouble really never ends.
