Summary
“Are you certain these tunnels lead back to the base?” Edwin asks, for the third time. “My sensors cannot detect any signs of—”
“Lifeforms in the immediate vicinity, I know, I know,” Charles says, and picks the left tunnel on a whim. Edwin follows him, leaving behind the carvings with a sigh. “But Niko said they’ve gotta have a way of getting between the base and the shipyard, ‘cause she can’t detect any emissions on the surface. Tunnels seem like the obvious answer, don’t they?”
“I suppose,” Edwin says. “I do retain the right to say ‘I told you so’ when we get lost and fall into an abyss, just so you’re aware.”
Charles and Edwin on a classic away mission-gone-wrong.

Summary
As they sat once more, Edwin realised, with dismay, that Rowland had filled in the usually empty seat next to him. His general aura of dandyism, reclusiveness, and slight insanity had rendered him an unsuitable seatmate by most of the class.
Rowland stuck out a hand. “Charles Rowland.”
I know. “Payne,” he said, and returned the handshake.
“And I don’t suppose public school boys have a first name?”

Or: If Edwin and Charles were both alive at St. Hilarion's in the 1910s.

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that when your ex turns up on your doorstep, he must be after something…
——————————————Shakespearean scholar Edwin Payne wants nothing to do with his ex Thomas’ new West End production of Much Ado About Nothing.
In fact, he wants nothing to do with stardom at all- coming out and losing his career put an end to any desire for that.
But then Thomas asks him to help his new protege, musician Charlie Rowland, get ready to play Benedick and well, it’s not like he can say no to a young man who needs his help, now can he? Certainly not…

I'd Follow you to Hell and Back (could you please stop going) by SomethingOrAnother11
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)

Summary
There's no version of this where Charles doesn't go get Edwin.
It is torture to venture in the worst place possible, but Charles will face everything and everything, be that his trauma, a furious witch, or manipulative cat-like king of Hell, to make sure Edwin is safe.
Unfortunately, it won't go right the first time around, because there is no version of this where Charles doesn't turn around, and this time, it dooms them both.

Summary
"Love," Charles began, ". . . mate?"
"'Love' is lovely right now," Edwin's face fell back on his chest. Thank the gods, he was in an affectionate mood. Charles hugged him close and stroked his hair. No complaints when it was already unkempt. He'd been worried sick for him at the end of the fight they'd run from, and his care came pouring out now.
"Still knackered?"
"Mhmph~" Muffled agreement and even a nuzzle against his neck.

Summary
If Charles could breathe, the air would have rushed from his lungs on impact. If Charles had a heart, it would have broken free from his chest, cracking ribs and hollowing out the space where the core of him was kept.
But Charles hadn’t breathed air in over thirty years, and his heart had long decayed, along with the rest of him.
So why did it feel like his body was being torn apart?

The Case of Charles Rowland's Lack of Communication by thefinalriotxx
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
12 Jul 2024

Summary
“You know Charles… You can talk to me about anything...” Edwin spoke hesitantly, despite the fact that his posture depicted the epitome of casual confidence.
Charles' lips twitched, the only outward indicator of the torment tearing through his chest, the desperation to rid himself of some of the weight that he was still carrying, despite what had just occurred at Point No Point, but he watched the way Edwin’s emerald irises flashed with a brief moment of vulnerability, and the feeling died on the tip of his tongue.
or...
Edwin has stated many times in Port Townsend that he is there for Charles if he needs someone to listen, but when has Charles ever been selfish?

Summary
It was because of the perfect alignment of where Charles stood, that he witnessed the exact moment this client would not be a respite from his racing thoughts and the skies above, and that instead, he was absolutely fucked.
This stranger looked at Edwin with wide eyes and lips parted, as though Edwin were carved from marble, a Greek god in the spectral flesh, a deity walking the earth before them both.
Charles thought he would have forever to figure out how he feels, but when Edwin meets another ghost who seems smitten with him, will Charles run out of time?

Summary
Charles gets dragged to Hell on a foggy Tuesday afternoon in September. Edwin, Crystal, and the Night Nurse retrieve him a few weeks later. Somehow, this is only the prologue of the story.
In the time Charles was gone, something changed. Edwin is different. He’s disappearing off on his own, taking clients he won’t tell Charles and Crystal about, and - every now again - Charles could swear there’s a glint of fire in his eyes, like embers burning in the dark.
Something in Edwin broke when Charles was away. Charles just needs to figure out what it is so he can fix it before it consumes them.

Summary
“Lieutenant Commander Payne?” says Charles, uncertainly. Maybe he’s walked into the wrong room. Science is an odd department to place him with. They gave him his old Command colors back with his new uniform, even though Starfleet will never, ever place him in charge of a starship, but it made sense enough if he was on protection duty. This…is a bit less comprehensible.
“We don’t have to bother with the pleasantries. Just get to it.”
“Uh, Captain Gadling asked me to report to you. I’m your new…” Charles isn’t sure what phrase to fill in there. Babysitting project? Bodyguard? Both?
*
Charles is fresh out of a Federation prison, aboard a newly commissioned starship with one of the strangest crews he's ever seen - and that's saying a lot, by Starfleet standards.
