    Summary

    “Tell me then. What would you do if I let you stay? Would you return to your father in your family home?”

    Her tone was casual, but her eyes spoke to him more clearly, an intimate knowledge of his past reflected in them.

    “Or would you remain here, with the boys who killed you?”

     

    Charles Rowland dies in the school’s abandoned attic, cold and alone.

    He awakes to the blue light of Death, and begs her to let him stay.

    After all, he never goes down without a fight.

    Summary

    "The bolt of swirling, crackling black magic zapped through the air, but it never reached Edwin, instead crashing straight into Charles’ chest. And the pain was overwhelming, debilitating, and the greatest kindness Charles had felt since entering the museum. He was the one crashing into the wall, not Edwin. He was the one fighting abrasive waves of pain as the magic coursed through his body, not Edwin. If he had done this, then he hadn’t been completely useless."

    Or,

    Charles and Edwin go on a case, and Charles feels useless after spending half the case restrained, unable to help. He compensates for this by taking a hit for Edwin. Obviously, he is not very happy about this, and it turns into an argument. Ensuing angst, comfort, and fluff.

    I feel like in the show we kind of see this idea that Charles feels like he needs to be useful, and he needs to be the protector, so I wanted to explore that.

    Summary

    “Edwin?”
    “Yes, Niko?” Edwin asked, eyes glued to the laptop where a cartoon dog and a man in a green shirt were eating impossibly large sandwiches.
    “You and Charles don’t sleep, right? Because you’re ghosts?” She tilted her head a little and turned to face him.
    “That’s right.”
    “Don’t you get bored at night when Crystal and I are asleep?”

    or

    Niko finds the "36 Questions to Fall In Love" and comes up with a Plan.
