An Explorer's Guide (BL)

Completed! =) Healing is not just healing, it is also politics. Edwin had heard it all, had repeated it time and time again. He did not want to accept those words. They were vile, they were poisonous. A necromancer such as himself had no right to become a healer, he still did his best. An altruist like him had no place in the service of the king as Boliarin. He still refused to give up the title, for fear that someone else would take it, and plunge Duria into chaos. All his life, he had played by the rules. Even when he suffered losses, even when he believed he could not look himself in the mirror. Everyone has a breaking point. Edwin did not lie to himself. He was calm, but not sane. The camel's back had long since been broken. And yet, when his ray of moonlight, the vampire Hadrian, offered to travel with him, Edwin agreed. He lets himself pretend he was good, hoping he might lie to himself one of those days. Would Harry be enough to stop him from darkening the world? Or would he end up just another villain, who had once been bright-eyed and hopeful? The story is complete, and has 109 chapters in total, around 1k each. Updates: 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thank you for your time! =)

Chapter 27: Decisions

As Edwin was making Tommy-boy, Luciano was stitching straight lines next to him. Which were crocked, but the boy and his chubby fingers did their best.

Once Edwin had gotten the boy to sew, his brothers had retreated in fear that they too would be made to do something girly.

Hadrian's fur lined gray cloak was a warm weight on Edwin's lap. He was cautious not to do a wrong stitch. It was expertly made, and it would be a shame if there were tears in it.

The vampire had gotten him to promise he would stitch Tommy-boy on his spare cloak too, and the children's coats. Edwin had put his foot down when Hadrian had suggested that the silly drawing be put on Edwin's hospital scrubs.

Not that he had too much of a problem with it, but he was not a healer who took care only of children. A certain level of professionalism had to be maintained. He had agreed to stitch an E and R on the back, since Hadrian had whined that his scrubs were too boring.
