Summary
Fictional characters sometimes appear in the real world. That’s what the Department of Fictional Affairs is for—and why actors are occasionally called in to stabilize their wayward alter egos.
Ewan McGregor is used to it. He’s helped weeping poets and barefoot priests. But nothing prepares him for the day Hayden Christensen drags him into a full-blown emotional showdown with Darth Vader himself.
Vader saw Hayden’s memories. Vader didn’t like what he saw.

Summary
Charles Rowland fell in love nearly thirty years ago.
Edwin wasn’t the first lad Charles had feelings for. There had been some proper fit guys on the football team his dad watched, and a guy named Tom a few years ahead of him in secondary school that Charles had been obsessed with; even before he knew what words to put to it. He liked girls, too, of course, and that was easier. A pretty smile and a flutter of his dark eyelashes and maybe a clever line or two and they’d be all over him for a fun time. Charles loved a good snog with a pretty girl, but he hadn't really, concretely, considered the option of another boy until Edwin.
Edwin, with his tiny pleased smiles and his perfect posh posture and his impossibly sharp wit. His hands were long and narrow, with uncalloused knuckles and soft palms, even in death. Edwin, who was kind and gentle even when he had no reason to be; who sat by a dying boy and read him stories and made that musty attic feel warm again, even for just a bit.
[aka. what if Charles was in love with Edwin all along?]
