Summary
Loving Edwin was the easiest thing in the world. Charles got so used to it that he could sometimes go months without thinking about it, until Edwin did something kind or charming or literally just stood there catching the light in exactly the right way, and it would hit Charles all over again, like getting socked in the face. It certainly made for some interesting decades together.
Or: Charles falls first. Edwin falls harder. Surprisingly little changes.

Summary
Charles has never been one for drawing, except for the doodles he used to do in detention. Yet, in Edwin, he finds a muse. He can't bring himself to create a whole portrait; Charles could never do him justice. So he focuses on the little things instead.
(Charles draws the little parts of Edwin over the decades. It's for fun, until suddenly it becomes more.)

Charles never manages to convince the Night Nurse to let him rescue Edwin.
Edwin spends the next 54 years running. By the time he finally makes it out of hell, he is not sure if he still has a place in Charles' afterlife. Surely Charles has long since moved on.
Meanwhile, Charles spends fifty years trying to make deals with demons, making friends with a shapeshifer and going slightly insane. Aces, right?

Summary
You are born on an unseasonably warm January morning. The air is crisp, but the sun is shining, and the midwife remarks on the beautiful peculiarity of such weather.
It is a Wednesday, and if your parents know the old rhyme, they do not comment on how a child born when you are ought to be full of woe. Instead, they smile. They welcome you to the world.
They name you Edwin Payne.
When you are very young, so young that you can barely fit your hand around your father's favorite pen, you are happy.
You do not smile much, but you are constantly -thinking.-

It was about the torture. The torture he was experiencing presently, and also every minute of every hour of every day, standing alongside Edwin Payne and saying nothing out of the ordinary at all.

Summary
Edwin existed, just as Charles had. Charles, who occupied a space in loving memory. A much-deserved space – Edwin would have wanted it no other way – but the core of him wanted to scream that he had been here, too. He never would be again, but he had lived, and he had breathed and laughed and moved with too much frippery and frill to continue on breathing, and he had been a whole person, once. And it had not mattered.
So looked at CHARLES ROWLAND through tears, allowed himself to. Even Charles's hammer on metal on stone was not enough to dull the pain, but it was enough to remind him that he was still here, even if he was no longer living. It was an awful sound, a jarring sound, and tears shone in Charles’s eyes as he focused intently on carving out the A in his surname, but it was something.
They were there, together, and they were feeling.

Summary
Charles thought it’d be grand, a revelation that stopped him and the world in its tracks as if hit by the biggest bloody vehicle possible. He thought it would come to him all at once – the feeling, the voice, the sense. Maybe it’d be while they were alone, somewhere scenic or romantic or both. Somewhere different, feeling different.
Love, Charles learned, did not work like that. At least, not for him.
and
Edwin did not have any expectations set. He had pushed the thought of it aside his whole life, left to accept a life of solitude and no meaningful attachments. He didn’t have friends in school, so he certainly did not have any romantic contenders. If Edwin were to think about feeling that way, it’d be an impossible thought.
Love, Edwin learned, did not work like that. It didn’t have to, not for him.
or
Charles realises he's always been in love. Edwin tries to fall out of love. Fortunately, he's not sure how to.

Summary
Charles learned at a very young age that in order to survive, reading people quickly was a necessity. The home he grew up in had been an emotional minefield, so his ability to read a room as soon as he entered it was crucial if he wanted to avoid his father’s unwanted attention. He made errors sometimes, especially as a young boy, which was always unfortunate - his father was not very forgiving of errors. Being able to predict his father’s mood swings was often the difference between a peaceful evening alone in his room, or an evening spent pleading for mercy on the kitchen floor. Learning to avoid the emotions of others became a method of survival, and Charles had always been good at surviving.
Well, until now. Now he’s dead and that habit, however exhausting, has followed him to his afterlife.

Summary
For a magic-user intent on siphoning pain for power, both Hob Gadling and Edwin Payne represent unique opportunities. United in dire circumstances, a man incapable of dying and a boy long dead forge an unusual friendship--and try to survive the experience.
---
“When you died,” Hob said. “How old were you?”
“Sixteen.”
“That,” Hob said, “Is awful.”
Edwin shrugged. “Life is, I’m afraid,” he said.
“Can be wonderful, too,” Hob said. “I promise.”- Language:

Summary
“Fuck, Edwin,” Charles breathes. “You could’ve come got me, you know?”
Edwin doesn’t know what to say to that. He would be fine, soon. Not really worth bothering anybody. He just shakes his head and curls up tighter.
“You’re alright,” Charles says. He wraps an arm around him. Then his face changes, into something like determination, and he pushes Edwin’s head onto his shoulder. “You’re alright, mate.”Bookmarked by PrinceOfMoss

At the top of a small pile of papers was a copy of Form 239, Schedule L, filled out with achingly familiar handwriting. At the top, the word "Approved" was stamped in large red letters.

Summary
Crystal laughs. Not just laughs actually, full on cackles. She throws her head back, the line of her throat something that previously would have given him a flutter in his gut, and laughs at him.
“Ouch,” Charles says, laying defeatedly back on the bedspread, one crisis down, but one left to go. And Crystal doesn’t seem like she’s going to be a lot of help, judging by the noises currently coming out of her. He hasn’t heard laughing this loud since the Case of the Cackling Goblin in 2013. And that goblin had been really bloody loud.
“I’m not laughing at you,” Crystal tells him, tears in her eyes, “I mean I kind of am, but I’m mainly laughing because the person that you came to ask about love is me. Your ex, and former demon lover, with a notoriously bad history in the field of romance,”

Summary
Edwin Payne and Charles Roland are not Orpheus and Eurydice. They are not tragic figures of myth, children of gods and spirits, immortalized in verse by the poets of old. They’re nothing special at all – just two boys too stubborn to move on.
With that said, however… Edwin must admit that there are certain similarities.

Summary
Behind him, Hannibal’s breathing is barely audible. Always so damn composed. Or perhaps Hannibal is really asleep? Perhaps the touch is only accidental? It’s the soft pad of a thumb on the back of his neck and the tips of loosely curled fingers stirring his curls more than resting against his skin.
Shouldn’t he hate it? Or at the very least, fear it? Deep down he feels something else entirely. Relief of some undefined kind that he fiercely pushes away and refuses to acknowledge. It’s too embarrassing. He can’t be that person. Can’t be that weak.
A fic in which touch-starved Will finally acknowledges what he wants.

Summary
”I used to watch you. When you’d wank in the bathtub.”
Felix knew. He could feel when Oliver was watching him, when he wasn’t, when he was just listening to him moan through the door.
”I licked the plug hole once. I needed part of you inside me so badly. I would have taken anything.”
”I would have let you take anything.” Felix had said in return. Even though he wasn’t sure that was really true.
