I know that you mean well. Your actions have always been motivated by your devotion towards me. To all your children.

It’s a good job for someone who’s always right, to be sure. But as it turns out, many people quite despise me. I would never want to ascend to power if it meant losing you. For what is France without my Francis?

Francis, we have more important things to do than make love or build boats. We? You have been no help with the boat at all.

I've been bedridden all day so all I can do is think about headcanons so -- charlie permanently moving to nyc post-books and stays with Jeanie -- he helps her find confused fledglings online and helps her bring them in and teach them the basics -- charlie tries to keep in contact with his mom, but she's in hiding -- charlie still mourns his brother sometimes -- like sitting on the couch, suddenly crying while he's watching tv because something reminded him of his brother

[fratercxlus]

It had only been two weeks since Enrico’s mysterious murder and Dorian’s death at the hands of a slayer, but Charlie had gotten back to NYC as quick as he could to comfort his fiance. All Edinburgh council business was cast aside for the president and other council members to deal with— they could reach decisions without their vice president for the time being. Charlie couldn’t stand the idea of being thousands of miles away from his love during her grieving period. 

When he arrived at V Bar, it was oddly empty. Stephen was speaking to a few of the drudges, as a former drudge himself. The drudges looked distraught without their master and Charlie briefly wondered what would become of them without Enrico. Perhaps they would pass into the care and control of his brother? He made a mental note to ask Jeanie later. 

Speaking of Jeanie… 

Charlie peeked around the bar with no sight of his fiance. He was half-tempted to ask Stephen if she was up in her apartment for the day, but his answers were answered when his vampiric hearing picked up the faint sound of crying coming from the back room. He took a few tentative steps and in an attempt not to frighten her, he slowly pushed open the door and spoke softly. “Jeanie…?”

Jeanie, consumed by her own grief, hadn’t heard him come into the bar and was thus so surprised that she quickly wiped away the tears so he wouldn’t see. “Charlie… you’re here…” 

There was a brief moment of stunned silence, before Charlie entered the room, shutting the door behind him, and crouched down next to Jeanie so that he could wrap his arms around her tightly. The tears soon came back to her eyes and she buried her face into his sweatshirt, sobs catching in her throat. Her fingers desperately searched for something to hold on to and he obliged by wrapping his hands around her and bringing them to his lips so that he could press soft kisses against her knuckles. “I’m so sorry,” he whispered against her fingers. “I promise you, Mother said the Council of Elders is doing all that they can to find Enrico’s murderer.” 

As the sentence past his lips, Jeanie’s cries seemed grow worse and Charlie hugged her tighter, whispering soft “It’s okay”s as he ran his fingers through her long dark hair. He slowly stood up and helped her to her feet, handing her glasses back to her. Charlie cupped her cheeks in his hands and she sniffled and brought her gaze up to him. 

“We’ll go up to your apartment, okay? You’re in no shape to work. The drudges can handle the place for the night,” Charlie whispered, leading her out and up the stairs that led up to her apartment above V Bar. Jeanie could only nod, fumbling for her keys to unlock the door.

charlie always stays with jeanie when he visits and she just walks around in cute panties to make him red in the face

things I love -- charlie with his mom and calling her "mama" -- charlie sweeping jeanie off of her feet and smooching her

[fratercxlus]

I had this dream of charlie cuddling in bed with jeanie while she cries after dorian and enrico's deaths. he stays in nyc post-books to help jeanie and stephen and has either married jeanie or will soon be married to her

[fratercxlus]

rereading through all of my old charlie rps has me wanting to bring him back. snuggling with his mama and being a total mama's boy, kissing jeanie, nervously saying hi to dorian and enrico. charlie being a cinnamon roll

Platonic Cuddling/Bed-sharing Starters!

“C’mere – I am an amazing big spoon.”

“You’re so short! How can you expect to be the big spoon?”

“I’ve.. never been the little spoon before.” 

“You’re softer than a pillow…”

“Everyone thinks this is so intimate, being in bed together… I just want to sleep.”

“Can you scratch my back? It always helps me sleep.”

“Ahh, you’re like my personal bedwarmer! So warm…”

“Jeez, why are you so hot!”

“I talk in my sleep, just so you know.”

“Why are you so far away? Scoot closer.”

“That’s my favorite pillow! Give it back!”

Bonus; the morning after!

“My favorite part of last night was definitely you snoring in my ear.”

“How is it that you’re so small, but still managed to take up all of the bed?”

“Good morning! I’ve made breakfast, here –”

“Could’ve warned me you talk in your sleep.”
