Summary
Erik realized quickly that their living together wasn’t the ideal situation. Charles carried on in blissful denial, finding ways to cope with a mind he longed to know and a boundary he would not cross.
He found ways to distract himself from the promised pleasure of his roommate’s thoughts, sneaking there at the periphery of his own, not able to realize Erik is begging to be let in. -

Summary
Post-game epilogue, in the time after Avernus when Tav, Wyll, and Karlach can take solace in a home. Their home, a cottage outside the city, a place to host their friends, their many guests, and a night of taking it all in.
----------
There was Wyll, all strength and surety at his side, and Karlach before them, a bobbing weight of pure energy.
“We’ve got it good,” Wyll said, ever the one to voice the known and the sentimental. Gods (all of them, by all the deities and hells and anything else anyone wanted to swear by), did he love his life. This thing they had found and built and molded to their scarred and dirty hands so it was something all encompassing and grand and stretching on and on so it actually had a future, and actually had roots. There was that feeling again, at the pit of him. The root of him. Something more than just drunken glee, in Tav, more than just a momentary lapse or -- he couldn’t even think of the word for it. There was a word, wasn't there? A quick euphoria? Something that’s fleeting. That’s not what it was though — no, they had endured. What they had would last.
