Summary
It’s been three hours.
No news is probably good news, right? How long does emergency surgery usually take, anyway? Are they going to have any news before it’s over? Is Charles—
“Mum?” Theo whimpers, and she forces herself back to her body.
“It’s okay, baby,” she lies, kissing his forehead. “It’s going to be okay.”

Summary
There were a lot of reasons why Charles Rowland had changed schools. His suffering grades, constant reprimands over being out of dress code and the school’s growing suspicions about his home life were only some of the reasons why Charles’ mother enrolled him in boarding school for sixth form.
There was really only one problem… well two problems, maybe three.
------------
When Cricket-star Charles transfers to St. Hilarion's, he urgently needs a Latin tutor. Enter Edwin Payne, a language genius but not very popular. As the two become friends, the past rears its head in ugly ways. Can the two navigate such a new, odd-couple friendship in the face of their pasts? And what happens if that friendship starts to blossom into more?

Summary
“Some people believe that if you are born with such a faint soulmate mark you won’t meet your soulmate until after you die.”
Confusion spread across Violet’s face. “Like reincarnation?” she asked.
The nurse shrugged. “Perhaps. Some believe that. Or as a spirit.”
XXX
Edwin Payne is born with a faint, scarred looking countdown on his wrist set to someday almost a century in the future. Charles Rowland is born with a faint, scarred looking countdown set just a few months shy of his seventeenth birthday. Not even Death could stop these soulmates from meeting.

Summary
And Charles doesn’t notice that Edwin doesn't touch him anymore, maybe for no other reason than that he doesn’t want to, because doing so hurts, but then there’s a night when Edwin walks past him and he raises his hand like he wants to brush it against Charles’ arm – his metaphorical heartbeat picks up at that, like Charles has been waiting for this even more than he realised – but then, a second before his hand connects, Edwin pulls it back like he’s been burnt.
And that, well. That hurts too.
Edwin stops touching Charles; Charles doesn't deal well with it.

Summary
Evil spirits, vengeful spirits. At the time, he didn't yet have the words to explain what had happened to him –even though, without a frame of reference, he could still tell something was wrong– They formed when a ghost felt an awful injustice had befallen them, and few ghosts could claim to have been as wronged by everything as Edwin Payne.
He just hoped the boy from the attic wouldn't put two and two together.

Summary
“Alright, listen,” Charles said, after trying not to think at all for at least five minutes. “Hear me out.”
“Any ideas?” Edwin asked, not looking up from his page.
“It’s just. What would actually happen if you cut my hand off?”
Edwin jerked his head up so fast, Charles wondered that he didn’t brain himself against the stone wall. He looked more offended than he had when he found out about the live snake in Charles’ bag.
“What the hell kind of a question is that?” He hissed.
“I’m not saying we should do it!” Charles backpedaled. “I’m just curious! These cuffs make us proper solid, don’t they? We could probably lop it off and get me out.”
“No,” said Edwin emphatically. “We are not discussing this. I don’t want you getting any ideas and chewing your own arm off like a trapped weasel.”
“Not my whole arm, just my hand.”

I Turned Back One Last Time (just to prove you were there) by isnt_that_wizard

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.
or
a series of moments when charles can't stop touching edwin to remind himself that he's real and safe, until it all finally catches up to him and he snaps

Summary
Edwin closed his eyes and set his shoulders. “I never thought I would see my mother again,” he told Charles quietly.
“Well, I think that’s pretty reasonable, seeing as you’re dead and all.”
“Yes, Charles. I am dead. And she does not give a damn, so why is she here?”
“Maybe she does, though,” Charles said. “Wouldn’t that be aces? If you could… reconnect somehow?”
Edwin looked Charles up and down. “No,” he said simply.
