Summary
"You’d like me to believe that one of the royals tripped over their feet into a TNR trap from a well meaning old lady that smells like menthols and moth balls?” He tipped his head, arching an eyebrow down at Casper. “Do you really think that anyone in my family would be so stupid as to -”
And he stopped. He let the belt still, staring at a glittering reflection cast on the wall. “Shit.”
Casper gave him an unimpressed look. “Think he’s your brother. Hamish?”

Summary
He was stumbling as he appeared in the Dead Boy Detective Agency, light-headed and clumsy and with Edwin more or less slung across his shoulders - his limbs were limp as a corpse, and he was too light, too insubstantial, half faded away already.

Summary
“Oh....kay,” Thomas said slowly, taking in Charles’ fevered expression and the agonized slant of Edwin’s shoulders. “Did you...think I could undo one of the Endless’ little pranks?” he asked incredulously. He turned a look on Edwin. “Did you think you could? Don’t get me wrong, babe, you’ve got a lot of horsepower under the hood, but even for you that’s thinking a bit much of yourself, isn’t it?”
“No,” Crystal said. “We called you to talk them into it.” She grabbed Niko by the elbow and hauled her back out the door. “That’s your thing, right, ‘do what thou wilt’?” She jerked her chin at the boys. “Explain it to them.”

Summary
“You got twenty minutes to make yourself look like something someone would pay to fuck, otherwise, we’re both getting tortured to death in the belly of a fucking bounty hunter ship. If you think you have time to ask me questions, then how about you just take that stupid fucking vibrosword you think you’ve got hidden in your fucking boot and shove it in my kidneys and make Cad Bane’s job that much fucking easier.”
Kallus glared balefully at a bottle of aged Stewjoni brandy perched high behind the bar, visibly seething. “I’ll only need ten.”

Summary
He thought he’d hidden these feelings from himself, stowed them away in some dark corner and learned not to think about it. But the second Eddie peeked in from around the corner at the Jade and looked at Richie with those big, limpid pools of Christmas Orphan meets Bambi, and started rambling about gluten and cashews, it all came flooding back into focus. Richie has loved Eddie so long that it’s become an ache that goes beyond reason.

Summary
“As I suppose you’ve already guessed, it’s a hex based in desire,” the Cat King purred, and Edwin’s stomach flipped.
“I won’t help you with something like that,” Edwin said. The King’s mouth twisted, his tongue coming out to suck on his teeth, and he chuckled mirthlessly.
“You think I don’t know that?” He said. “I brought you here, Edwin Payne, because you’re the person I trust to not give me what I want. And to keep me from taking it from anyone else.”

Summary
There was silence. Neither of them said anything, they didn’t even move.
Gale regarded him with wide eyes, seemingly taking his features in anew. Then, he scoffed, straightening up to sit on his bedroll. “Of course. I can’t believe I didn’t see it.”
No fucking way. He was not being this arrogant, this insufferable, in this moment. Astarion must’ve misheard him, only he knew he hadn’t.
“You think yourself that smart, Gale?” he asked with narrow eyes, face twisting with distaste.
“Yes, in fact I do.” Gale replied, his tone returning all of Astarion’s hostility. “I am a studied wizard after all. I’ve read all about your kind, assuming you are merely a spawn.”
“Merely.” Astarion repeated. He kept quiet for a while, attempting to discern what Gale was going to do. He discreetly wrapped his hand around the dagger he hid in the hem of his pants, just in case.
The wizard seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Eventually he looked up at Astarion, his eyes twinkling in the moonlight. “Did you plan to kill me?”
“What?” Astarion choked on the word.

Edgin is just trying to fake it til he makes it, like always. It'd be so much easier if Xenk didn't keep turning up.

“No Qunari would accept a Tevinter mage so easily... unless it was a ruse. When should I expect a knife in the back?”
It was a ruse, at least in the beginning.
