"Give devotion, dedication, celebration, not some cheap charade, and I'll rule the world..."

Charades
by Wolfling & Magpie

All characters and locations belong to Joss, ME etc, except the ones that don't. The quotes here are from 'Delusions of Grandeur' by Pet Shop Boys.
This is a story from the Of Old Mystics series, and the sequel to Sleight of Hand.
As Magpie is English, and so are the characters, British spelling is used throughout.
NC-17. Slash - m/m explicit sex. Elements of kink. Magic. Drug use and irresponsible behaviour.
Spoilers up until the end of the final episode of BtVS.
Our beta readers are Wesleysgirl and Mad Poetess, and we love them.

Note: Charades includes Five Gold Rings, the Of Old Mystics Christmas special, which takes place between chapters 17 and 18.
