    I DON’T SUPPOSE I COULD INTEREST YOU IN A GAME OF CHESS…?

    The look the person shaped like a young woman gives the skeleton is piercing. “You know that sort of stuff’s for gods.”

    If the skeleton had had lungs, the gesture it makes would probably have been exhaling a sigh. I ONLY THOUGHT WE COULD USE SOME VARIETY.

    Summary

    Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.

    Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.

    A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

    Summary

    When the Dead Boy Detective Agency takes on the case of an infant stolen by the Fae, an impulsive decision by Charles means Edwin must brave the Goblin Market to save him.

    “This is a terrible indignity,” Edwin says as the three of them stand at the very edge of the fairy ring.

    “Like I said before, she likes you. And you’ve still got your hands free for spells,” Charles says.

    “Well, I do not like it.” Edwin stares down at the changeling now strapped to his chest. “I am more than willing to carry your backpack if you wish to make an exchange.”

    “You know you still can’t navigate it, and I need you with both arms.”

    “I would happily take that risk,” Edwin mutters.

    Summary

    Edwin tells Charles he loves him in Hell, but when Charles quickly responds with his own breathless 'I love you', Edwin assumes his friend meant it platonically, so he gives up halfway through his confession, leaving out the crucial 'I'm in love with you' part. Dejected, he decides to keep his feelings a secret.

    Meanwhile, Charles has been in love with his best mate for years, so when they unexpectedly exchange 'I love yous' on the staircase of Hell, Charles happily assumes that they've just started dating and are just going at a really slow pace.

    Needless to say, they're not really on the same page.

    ---

    OR: because of a misunderstanding during the confession in Hell, Charles thinks they're dating now, while Edwin believes his love will stay unrequited forever
