Summary
“You’ve been running a long time, haven’t you? You don’t need to run anymore.”
Charles tried to shake the cotton from his thoughts, but Death was looking at him with the kindest eyes he had ever seen in his life or death. “Um – what about Edwin? You can’t split us up,” was all his mind could grab hold of.
“The ones we share a great love with never truly leave us. There are bonds that even Death cannot break.” She smiled softly again.
Charles felt comforted by that. Edwin would never truly leave him. “That’s – good,” he managed to say. He was feeling pretty peaceful about the whole thing, actually.
“Are you ready to find out what’s next?” Death asked as she extended her hand to him, palm up and welcoming.
Charles looked at Death, with her exceedingly kind eyes and her overwhelmingly tender smile, and her hand an invitation that he could not refuse.
He reached out and took it.
And Charles Rowland passed on to his afterlife.
---
When Charles is separated from Crystal and Edwin on a case, a moment of compassion puts him in Death's path, and Edwin has to find a way to bring him home.Bookmarked by ElectricBird2

Summary
Courting Edwin like they did in those old movies sounded fun too, old-timey carriage rides and all. And maybe he could see Edwin all dressed up, in one of those little 1900s suits… “That sounds brills,” he said. “But what about the second month?”
Edwin grinned. The expression was radiant. “I would like for you to… to do whatever you would have done with me, had we been courting in the 80s.”
“You want to go steady,” Charles laughed. “Wear my letter, get a mix tape.”
“I know what absolutely none of those words mean,” Edwin said. “But, as we have firmly established, I do enjoy learning new things.”
Charles grinned. “Well, then. I guess it’s settled. A month of courting, a month of going steady, and bam! Magical marriage, isn’t it.”
Edwin smiled. “Yes, Charles. I do believe it is.”

Summary
The first thing that Shu meets when he walks into his own apartment is absolute darkness. There is no light anywhere. Not a single room. And just that alone makes his heart sink almost fearfully. Because usually Shu sees a completely different picture – where everything around him is not plunged into darkness, and instead of lifeless silence, the air is pierced by the sound of his favorite voice.

Summary
It feels strange. It’s already November. In just a few more weeks, Charles will have been dead a whole year.
“Charles,” says Edwin. “Is there a reason people are suddenly wearing flowers in their lapels? I’d noticed a few yesterday, but there are more today.”
“They’re poppies,” he says. “Remembrance Sunday’s coming up, innit.” He looks at Edwin, whose confusion hasn’t abated, and remembers belatedly that Edwin had died before the end of World War One. “It’s a sort of memorial,” he says. “For people who’ve died in wars."

Summary
The thing about being possessed and having your memories stolen by a demon that you thought you were in love with, Crystal thought, was that it left you with some weird hangups.
So, she had trouble trusting guys now. Unsurprising, really. She’d read some articles about recovering after being in an abusive relationships, which is probably about as close to her situation as she’s likely to get.
The other thing— the losing her memories thing, the having her memories stolen thing— she wasn’t really expecting that to effect her as much as it has, once she got them back. But, lo and behold, here she is, in the office, having a mini crisis because she can’t remember what day her grandma’s birthday is.
.
Crystal has some issues around memory loss. Edwin can relate.

Summary
"Crystal? Edwin?" A voice calls, but it sounds far away. It's so familiar, a name is on the tip of her tongue but she can't focus with the bruising touch of her friend and the horrors that surround her. "Crystal, come on! What am I supposed to—"
There is something skittering towards them, soft giggles filling the silence.
"Crystal!" The voice calls again, sounding closer now. "Edwin! You guys have to—" the voice is clearer, as if they are inside this gruesome labyrinth with the two of them.
"—come back!" Crystal is jolted back to reality. A long, shuddering gasp leaving her lips as she attempts to take a breath in. She is in the office, her face damp with tears and sweat. She is still cupping Edwin's cheeks.
Edwin, who is staring at her, is faring no better. He is no longer bloody, but tears are streaming down his face and snot is dripping from his nose. He shakes in her hold— or maybe, she is the one shaking. She cannot tell. "Edwin," she calls between gasps. "Edwin, oh my god—"

Summary
George checked his watch. “Think this was a record for us. Just a couple hours, and we don’t even have Kipps or Holly.”
“Not bad for a Type 2,” Lucy said with an impish grin.
Lockwood frowned. Then why am I so tired, if it was that simple? He and Lucy had kept the rather sluggish specter at bay while George secured the source, it truly hadn’t taken much effort. But for some reason he felt like he could lie down on the ground right that second and take a nap.
Or, in which Lockwood finally catches up on sleep, although not for reasons anyone’s happy about.
