Fics like Partridge in a Pear Tree

“For someone who claims not to like thinking,” Edwin says, raising an eyebrow, “you do a remarkably good job of it.” Charles laughs. “Tell that to my old teachers, mate.” “If they disagree, then they can’t be very qualified.” Edwin says this simply, like it’s just a fact of life. Like it’s plainly obvious that if anyone thinks Charles is stupid, it’s they who are at fault. Or: Charles grew up poor and is likely to stay that away, his job at the magic store notwithstanding. By the time he meets Edwin, he's decided that he wants a new life. In between figuring out what's up with the mysterious wish-granting pigeons, and whether he can go to the Royal Ball, Edwin makes him want to take a chance on being happy as well.
