I Once Again Offer You: Hogs

poor Sevika's been embarrassed ever since, yet still stuck around😔✊

Do you have a high resolution of in season 2 episode 2, crowley and aziraphale's silhouettes sitting in front of the ocean? I adore that picture but I can't find it anywhere anymore

Hiya! Here:

I have this Payneland fic idea: Niko is so furious when she learns that Edwin’s death was labeled an "act of God" that she demands the Lost and Found Department change it.

They do - and offer to give Edwin his life back. Of course he refuses. He doesn't want to be alive without Charles. So, after long debate they extend the offer to Charles. They get a genie or fae to give them their lives back. They get back to the state they were in before their deaths. RIGHT before their deaths. Edwin is fine. A few bruises, robe burns, nothing he can’t handle. But Charles is like Edwin found him in the attic.

So, they rush him to the ER, Edwin staying calm, speaking gently and holding his hand. But when Charles is out of his sight in the hospital he breaks down and Niko and Crystal hold his hand for hours while waiting for news.

Happy New Year, guys!

today's payneland idea is Crystal telling Edwin "you don't have to worry about making Charles uncomfortable now (after the confession), have you noticed how clingy he is with you? He'd let you do just about anything"

And Edwin, ever the scientist, wants to test that theory a bit, so for the first experiment he stands just that 🤏 much closer to Charles and patiently waits if his friend says anything, but all he gets is the usual heart eyes and a "what's up, mate?", so Edwin thinks "huh" and decides to continue the tests Then, although it feels daring, almost too much, Edwin starts initiating more touches between them, like pats on the arm and such and, peculiarly, Charles takes it well, very well even, because somehow the grin he gives Edwin is even wider than usual

When their usual reading time arrives, instead of putting Charles' feet in his lap, Edwin suggests Charles lays his head there today and Charles freezes for a second, almost making Edwin worry he went too far, but then Charles all but launches himself onto the couch with a bright smile

(Edwin also weaves his fingers through Charles' hair during the second iteration of this idea of course, can't introduce too many variables in one experiment after all)

Then, instead of just saying "well done, Charles", his eyes hold Charles' and he adds "you really know how to handle X" and Charles can't break away from the eye contact even if he tried, he's absolutely enchanted and arrested by the warmth exploding inside him at the soft intensity of the moment and praise

Next experiment is touching Charles' face, Edwin waits for the right occasion and it comes when Charles makes a tiny mistake during a case, he couldn't have helped it really, but he still beats himself up over it, and Edwin knows now that Charles responds really well to touch, so he cups Charles' upset face in his palm and tells him that it wasn't his fault, that he did the best he could, and Edwin watches in real time as Charles' already wet-looking eyes become even more liquid, as he puts more of his head's weight into Edwin's hand, and Edwin adores the squishy and open way he looks now, so trusting and vulnerable in Edwin's hands

Edwin looks at all his notes, double and triple checks the results and almost can't believe it, because they all point to somehow Charles becoming happier, instead of uncomfortable, since he's started it, but that's odd isn't it?

Maybe being so lovey-dovey with Charles has altered Edwin's brain or something, because the next time they hug (they do more of that lately), without even thinking about it, Edwin's lips plant a small kiss to Charles' temple and he panics, because that's crossing a line, isn't it? He's never planned on kissing Charles, that's too far! But before he can spiral, Charles sighs happily, sinking into their embrace more heavily and says "Ever since you- um, I just. I really like this. You know. Us. I feel proper loved, thanks to you, mate. And I hope I make you feel that way too."

(Charles had to stop himself from saying "ever since you started loving on me", because it felt a bit much lol)

consuming mass amounts of media related to my hyperfixation isnt enough i need to eat it

If you’re an artist for a fandom I’m in and see my username pop up in your notifications on multiple apps frequently…don’t even worry abt it

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four
