Summary
She stops as she hears the sound of someone crying, the first sign of anyone that Charlie has encountered in the hours that she’s been down here. She holds up their lantern to illuminate a small figure curled up at the end of the hallway. “Edith?” She calls, walking closer.
The figure stops sobbing, looks up, and god that’s so much fucking blood. The right side of Edith’s face is drenched in blood, her hair (curled loose around her face for once) is matted with it, but fuck if Edith isn’t still the most stunning thing that Charlie has ever seen. Her light eyes frown. “Lottie?”

Summary
As soon as the hellhound is dead, Charles collapses down and in. Part of Edwin expected it, so he is able to catch his soul before he hits the ground.
“Jesus, is he okay?” asks Crystal, staring at the brightly glowing orb in Edwin’s hands.
“He's just tired. He'll be right as rain in a day or two,” Edwin assures her, but his mouth curls down of its own volition. Charles never likes the vulnerability that comes with this form, and he’s always in a bit of a mood afterwards. Besides, Edwin always misses him dearly when he’s gone.
He runs a thumb over the surface of the orb. “For now, it's our turn to protect him.”
--
Or, Charles orbs out, and Edwin and Crystal look after him.For Painland Week Day 1.

Summary
“Let's get married”, he tells Edwin, quickly crossing the distance between the mirror and the desk, and this gets a reaction at last, Edwin’s head whipping up to stare at him. “That’s what we have to do. I talked to the witness and her husband, and I’ll tell you about the case later, but they got married when they were dead, because the whole Til Death Do Us Part thing, that should work the other way around too, right? Like, if we are already dead and we get married, then there is nothing left to part us. Makes sense, doesn’t it?”
Charles and Edwin get married before they even know they are in love.

Summary
"So let me get this straight…" Crystal says. "You guys can instantly conjure up whatever outfits you want, yet you've both stuck with the exact same looks for thirty-plus years? What are you, cartoon characters?"
"Oi, ease up," Charles protests with a slight pout. He's back in his red polo again. "We're blokes, and it's just simpler to keep things the same rather than worry about all that. Besides, our fits are part of our whole brand, yeah?"
-OR-
Four times Edwin or Charles changed up their look +1 time they didn't wear anything at all.

Summary
It had been about a month since Charles realised he is, in fact, in love with Edwin back. They were still getting used to the new aspects of their relationship, but nothing had really changed. They just kissed now sometimes – much to the annoyance of Crystal when they were trying to focus on a case. One thing had felt slightly wrong, now, though – Charles’s constantly calling Edwin ‘mate’. Charles rectifies this, and Edwin does something that surprises him.

Summary
“I got us something”, Charles answers and pulls a box from the bag he’s been carrying, black and unwieldy, adorned in white scribbles. He’s holding it out like it’s something precious, which Edwin highly doubts it is, considering the look Charles gives him. “Something really really cool.”
Edwin takes a moment to look at the box, the poor quality of the cardboard and the horrible picture of teenagers that are trying to look frightened, and yes, some eye rolling will definitely be necessary here.
“Why on Earth would we need a Ouija board, Charles?”
The grin on Charles’ lips would be obnoxious if Edwin didn’t like him so much.
“To talk to ghosts, of course.”Charles gets them a Ouija board and sometimes, it's easier to talk about feelings when you don't have to say the words out-loud.

Summary
Any professional reply died on his lips. It wasn’t like he was unhappy with the way he looked. It was more that strange men usually didn’t go out of their way to point it out to him. The stranger chuckled, waving his hand absently. Edwin noted that his fingernails were painted silver.
“Don’t worry, I don’t bite.” His smirk widened before he added, sounding mildly curious: “Unless you want me to, of course.”
Edwin’s stomach did another of those undignified little flips. “Why would I want you to bite me?” he asked, confusion outweighing his embarrassment for a moment, even though plenty of experience with Charles and also Crystal had taught him that sometimes asking questions did more to reveal his naivety than to conceal it. He certainly wouldn’t forget the handjob-conversation in a hurry.

Summary
Crystal says, "You don’t have to apologize. It’s a me-problem, I guess. Not something you did. Just, um… Yeah. It’s a me problem.”
Niko frowns. “Why do I make you nervous?”
“You’re cute. Cute girls make me nervous. You’re also nice and touch me a lot. That makes me nervous, too.”
Niko sits up now, frowning more. “Is that bad?”
“No.” Crystal sits up, too, and says, “It’s not bad. It’s, um, kind of nice. I like how much you touch me.”

Summary
Since they'd fallen out of hell, the Night Nurse slamming the door on the awful baby doll demon behind them, Charles had been itching to touch Edwin. And it wasn't like his usual touch-oriented personality just wishing to have some sort of contact. He could control that easily enough after all this time.
No, this was something different.
This felt like a desperation. A need to be in Edwin's personal space, to keep his hands on him. He wanted to wrap his best friend in a hug and never let go, he wanted to sit as close as possible as they heard a new case. He wanted to take Niko’s place as she grabbed Edwin's hand to drag him to watch another one of her shows. He wanted to tuck Edwin against him as they sat on the couch. He would wrap an arm around Crystal and wish it was Edwin, who was merely across the room.
---
After Hell, Charles is terrified of letting Edwin out of his reach for fear that he might get taken away again. He is, of course, being very subtle in his attempts to keep Edwin close.

Summary
Niko had learnt that throughout the Cat King’s lives, he’d had his fair share of suitors.
She knew that some of them had not been all too kind.
And to make the King cry? Well, she also knew that, in his domain of Port Townsend, that was a crime punishable by death.
Another body rots on the floor of his warehouse, a feast for his subjects.
Niko does the only things she knows how to do. She sits with him, and she waits.

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
“You alright, mate?” Charles asked while suppressing a laugh.
“Yes, um, yes of course.” Edwin mumbled trying to get his composure back.
Charles watched his eyes drop to where he was still holding on to his arm, probably curious on why Charles hadn’t let go yet. So was Charles to be honest. But he didn’t want to let go. Not yet.

Summary
The agency is bogged down with more and more cases coming in, but they must drop everything when the Cat King comes to them with an urgent need for their help. His cats are going missing down by the docks and a malevolent magic lies in the depths of the water.
Terrible timing, really, for Edwin to start realising that his attraction to the Cat King might me more than skin-deep.
