    Summary

    It's not fair that Charles should look so lovely sitting on her bed and gazing at her with dark eyes, especially when she put a pause on them not even twenty-four hours ago. She could really do with another distraction right now.

    “We’re going to clear out for a bit,” he says then, “Me and Edwin. I didn't want to go without saying goodbye.”

    The words hit her like a slap to the face. They sting just the same.

    “You're leaving?”

    In which the days following Maxine's death are difficult for everyone.

    Summary

    “I want to have our first time together.”

    Ocean wants to have her first time with her.

    Summary

    But all that don't really matter, in the end. ‘Cause the thing that pulls him in for real isn't that Crystal's alive. It's that she's larger than life.

    She's the most passionate person he knows, all acid and spit. Nine stone of piss and vinegar, his mum would've called her. She hurls the meanest insults and then turns right around and fights to bring justice for lost souls that the rest of the world forgot about, because she knows they matter. Sometimes Charles thinks that if he wasn't already dead he'd get burned up just being close to her, with how she's so full of fire.

    So then, it makes sense that he can't shake the feeling of wrongness while he looks at her sleeping in that hospital bed.

    Crystal Palace is never supposed to seem small.

     

    Crystal is hurt on a case. Charles spirals.

    Summary

    It's Constance's birthday - exactly one month since the Accident - and for the first time, she's psyched to be alive to see it.

    Or, she would be, if the St. Cassian Chamber Choir were just a little better at keeping secrets.
