MERRY CHRISTMAS, JAMIE! I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!! 💛

He nearly dropped the bucket in shock. "You can talk?" The fish laughed, a merry little sound, and backflipped. Edwin looked rather fish-like himself, mouth flopping in startled awe. But he quickly gathered himself. "Hm. Well. You can smile. I suppose talking isn't such a stretch." He cleared his throat and held his index finger out to the water. "Hello. Edwin Payne, pleased to make your acquaintance." The fish bobbed in place, eyeing Edwin's finger in confusion. "What's that?" That was surprising, too — he'd half expected the fish to only have the capacity to repeat words, like a parrot. But he restrained himself from showing his surprise that time. It would have been rude. "You're supposed to shake it. It's how people greet each other." It patted his fingertip with a wet flipper. "'Ello!" In which Charles crawls out of the sea, straight into Edwin's arms.

happy dead gay detectives secret santa day <3

“Alright. What is not aces is that this is transpiring to be futile. I may have to contact Monty and see if he is willing to-” “No!” The protest escaped Charles before he realised it, his mouth snapping shut immediately at Edwin's incredulous look. The thought of some random bloke getting it on with Edwin – even for a ruse – was enough to make him do something stupid. “Why do you need someone else, mate? I’m right here, aren’t I?” Fuck, too stupid. Edwin sucked in a sharp breath, the only indication that Charles had stepped onto an invisible landmine. “What are you offering, Charles?” Now that he’d started, he couldn’t stop. “For the holiday party, mate. You need someone who knows you, someone who’s willing to go along with it, someone you’re comfortable with, then- well, I’m offering myself up, mate.” or Surely there is no way pretending to be a couple for a christmas office party can go wrong.

The guests all stood and turned back to face the doors as they slid open. The music rose to a crescendo, and in walked Edwin, beautifully dressed and clutching a spray of flowers. He was wearing that small and secret smile that Charles knew better than his own, strutting down the aisle like it was a runway privileged enough to feature him. Charles couldn’t take his eyes off him even if he wanted to. The world and everyone in it faded away, ‘til Edwin was all he could see. If Charles could choose to live in this moment for the rest of forever, he would.

Or: A real wedding; a fake relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

Charles keeps hold of Edwin, releasing his hand to hold his shoulder instead. Edwin pauses in his ministrations to Monty to offer Charles a kiss as well— this night is about Monty, but he will not neglect Charles either. How could he ever? Monty whines, a pleading thing, half-birdsong, half-desperation. Edwin presses a finger to his lips. “Hush now, Monty. You will be taken care of.”

(or, Edwin, Charles, and Monty, together post-everything).

This is my secret santa gift for Bird ( @anything-thats-rock-and-roll) for the DGD server secret santa exchange
