    Summary

    James was cheeky and self assured. Both things Sherlock envied about his companion. Though he tried not to think on it too much. But James made that hard. It was as if he hadn't even the need to put any effort into adding a bit of cheekiness into a conversation. It seemed to just flow out of him with ease, without a thought about it.

    Until he spoke with Sherlock that was. Sherlock didn't know why he always ended up with that different version of his friend. And he pondered that maybe that was the reason why. That James was his friend, nothing more and nothing less.

    Summary

    It’s not that Charles minds helping Edwin research. The opposite, really. He’s not a studier the way Edwin is but it’s been absolutely aces learning all sorts of stuff about magic and the supernatural over the years of his afterlife. The universe is so much bigger and stranger that he ever knew or could have guessed. Plus, when whatever Edwin’s looking for isn’t urgent, it’s a really nice way to spend a quiet afternoon together. One of his favourite ways, if he’s being honest.
    Then Charles’ mouth works faster than his brain, as usual, and he asks, “You ever seen one? An angel, I mean,” before immediately chastising himself.

    Summary

    “Charles?” The boy asked, startling him from his thoughts. His voice was soft and kind, like his mum’s often was after a particularly rough night with his dad.

    Charles looked up, his good eye blinking owlishly. “Who’re you?”

    He looked back at Charles, lips set in a wobbly frown. If Charles had to guess, he’d say the strange, stuffy-looking boy was trying not to cry.

    There was a long beat of silence. And then:

    “Oh, my dear. What has she done to you?”
    ---
    Or, after tangling with the spirit of a mad scientist, Edwin is left with a seven-year-old Charles that has no memory of him or their afterlife together. Edwin learns about Charles’s childhood in steps, as Charles finds his way back to the family he’s built by working through the trauma of his past.
