Summary
It's one of the first things Charles notices about Edwin: he doesn't have a daemon.
While Anita curls around him, protective with teeth bared despite the freezing water drenching her fur, Edwin stands alone.
Charles hadn't thought it was possible to lose your daemon and stay sane, but he also hadn't thought that ghosts were real, so he just sort of accepts it and moves on.
When he finally does gather the courage to ask Edwin about it weeks later, Edwin goes awfully still, a wild, panicked look crossing his eyes for just long enough to make Charles regret saying anything.
Eventually, Edwin does respond, voice low and rough.
"Hell is designed to tear souls apart, Charles," he says, not meeting Charles' eyes. "I'm sure you can deduce the rest."

Or what happens to a daemon in Hell and how one might find friendship, love, and peace in the aftermath

Edwin and Charles find a place to shelter during a storm. It's not at all what they expected.
(ft. a museum, a necessary chat, not as many zombies as you think, and love where it seems impossible)

Summary
Charles is looking idly at the group of instructors to try and guess which one may be Crystal, but the moment Niko’s name is called, everything else fades to the background. The boy walking towards his best friend is the most beautiful Charles has ever seen. It feels like time has slowed down as he watches him shake Niko’s hand and start talking to her in a light, melodious voice. He looks about Charles’ age, tall, his sweater a dark forest green that matches his eyes. Unprompted, Charles’ brain starts to wonder what those long legs would look like without the padded ski trousers, if they are as thin and elegant as they seem - nothing untowards, a pair of skinny jeans would be great.
“Close your mouth, you’ll catch flies. You are with me,” a voice supplies close to his side, followed by two quick snaps of fingers. “So? What is your starting level? Or do you want to spend our two hours staring at Edwin?”
“I-” Charles shakes his head to focus. “Zero, my starting level is zero.”

If Music Be The Food Of Love, Play It Again, I Missed It by UneducatedAuthor
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)

Summary
Charles only joined the high school production of Twelfth Night because they were asking for volunteers. He'd always thought it was pretty silly, how Duke Orsino and Olivia could never tell that Cesario was a girl, despite supposedly being in love with her, but it seemed like a laugh. And it was! All the mistaken identities, love triangles, or love pentagons rather. It's all proper romantic and funny, Charles loved every moment of it. But the best part was Viola. She was his soulmate, he emphatically told Crystal. She'd always sat and spent time with him, she was the best conversationalist, smart as hell and just the best person he'd ever met. Only issue is, now the play is over, he realises he has no way to reach out, and he despairs that he's lost the love of his life.
(In which Charles looks for Viola, Viola is nowhere to be found, Shakespeare cast men to play women, Charles is looking for the girl of his dreams, Edwin is aces at acting and nobody knows why it's called Twelfth Night, but everyone is appropriately confused about it.)

Summary
Edwin is still seated at the desk, his heavy brows set in a frown. “Where are we going?”
“Dunno. Out.” Charles strides over to lean next to him. “What's that museum you were going on about? Or we haven't scared the daylights out of ghost hunters in ages, that’s always a laugh. Or gone sightseeing, I've always wondered if we'd be able to mirror hop to the reflecting pool at the Taj Mahal.” He nudges Edwin’s leg with his foot. “Come on, Edwin. The night is young and so are we.”

Summary
“I didn’t want you to have to see me like this.” Edwin eventually says. His voice comes out wet, and he looks pitifully at Charles with wide and red rimmed eyes.
Charles’ heart nearly breaks in two. He takes another few steps forward until he can kneel down across from Edwin, taking one of Edwin’s hands into both of his. Edwin focuses intently on their interlocked fingers, as if trying to work out how they could possibly fit together.
“I’m sorry I didn’t notice.” Charles tells him, rubbing a thumb back and forth along Edwin’s knuckles.

Edwin smiled, snapping a photo of the tea and sending it to Charles, along with a thank you. It only took a few minutes for a reply.

Summary
When Crystal and Niko make plans to watch London’s Pride Parade, Edwin is disappointed he will not be able to join them — until Charles finds a solution. But going along to the parade isn’t just a celebration of Pride, and sparks some realisations that Charles can no longer ignore.
Charles grinned at him and leaned in close across Crystal’s two-person sofa so Edwin would hear him over the music as he said, “Putting the two of us to shame, aren’t they? Feel like we should’ve dressed up.”
“It’s not too late for you boys to change into something fabulous!” Crystal pointed out from her perch on the coffee table, where Niko was putting the finishing touches to her make-up.
“Nah,” Charles scoffed, but there was a hesitation before he spoke, and a deflated quality to the edges of his smile. “I don’t think it’d suit me.”
“I think you’d be surprised,” Crystal said.

Summary
‘ “Nicky and I met during the crusades,” Joe started, “and when we did, we killed each other - many times,” he echoed the words she’d first heard spoken by Nicky. With his gentle, lilting tone, she was reminded of her father reading fairytales to her and almost expected a ‘once upon a time’ to pass through his lips, “For seven days and seven nights we crossed blades. By day seven our swords were essentially useless - we were grappling and trying to kill one another with our barehands when-,” his eyes met hers briefly then darted away, “-when my hands found a rock hidden just beneath the sand.” ‘
—
Joe should have known it was too good to be true when Nicky sprang up so quickly after Keane put his gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. They’d never been that lucky before.
