Summary
"You will suffer until you reveal your secret to him."
The witch had been concise when she had cursed Charles. No riddles or double meanings. A curse and its remedy in just a few words.
What Edwin hadn't expected was the explosion. Or waking up in 1989, right after, alive and alone.
To make it worse, Charles doesn't remember him.
But that's not all, of course: the day Charles died is just a month and a half away.Bookmarked by Yowlthinks

Summary
Of all the things that Charles Rowland expected to come out of the week, conspiring with a strange, middle-aged, living, American man to take down a rogue spirit was hardly on his list of expectations.
It had only been a couple months since the events in Port Townsend, and the remnants of such chaos had been left fresh in everyone’s minds, leaving an undeniable, looming sense of exhaustion behind agency doors. It was for that exact reason that Charles had initially planned on taking an agency hiatus, dedicating as much time as possible to recuperating with Edwin, and helping both Crystal and Jenny settle into the London scene.
Naturally, the world seemed to have other plans.

The Dead Boy Detectives team up with the Winchester Brothers to solve a case

Summary
A certain ghost shows up in Port Townsend, without his memory, his friends, or any idea how he got there. What's a Cat King to do?
The Cat King slips up to Edwin’s side and catches his hand, tugging him around playfully with a smile. “Hey, sweetheart, you look seriously lost in thought. What brings you to town?”
Edwin flinches hard at the touch, whipping around and yanking his hand free with a ferocious glare. Taking several steps back, shoulders ruler-straight, he snaps out, “Excuse me? I’ll thank you to be a little less familiar.”
The Cat King freezes, wide-eyed and confused and trying to decide whether to be pissed off, because what the fuck. “Edwin?”
Edwin stills, too, angry glare lessening to a slightly less angry glare accompanied by a raised eyebrow and slightly tilted head as he eyes the Cat King up and down with none of the usual poorly-veiled appreciation. “Do I know you?”
Ohhh, this isn’t good. Every animal and magical instinct the Cat King has is screaming that something is very, very wrong here. Magically wrong.

Summary
When Aziraphale is summoned to the king's court in order to assist with an urgent matter, he has no idea the urgent matter is going to turn out to be Crowley. In the guise of a beautiful woman, Crowley has been stiring up trouble among the knights of the court, distracting them from their duties and causing disruption.
Unfortunately for the king, Aziraphale finds Crowley just as distracting, and has no idea how to thwart his demonic wiles.
(Can be read as a stand-alone story, but fits into the All The Pieces of You universe as well.)

Summary
When Crystal turns up with a case about a friend of a friend's family that has their own magical ghost butler, of course they're going to look into it. When it turns out that ghost is being magically controlled for free labor, things start to cut a little too close to home for Edwin, who doesn't own his own soul, for Crystal, who once willingly gave hers over to a demon, and for Charles, who would do anything for Edwin—up to and including when he no longer has a choice in the matter.

Summary
Edwin steepled his fingers in thought. “How does this concern us?” They’d been a bit picky about their cases lately. Charles gave him a look. Bedside manner, he said silently.
Daphne looked around before leaning forward and whispering: “She became a ghost.”
Edwin sat up a little straighter, his interest clearly piqued. “Come again?”
Daphne threw her hands up hopelessly. “I was keeping an eye on a patient while his nurse was out when my assistant came running in and told me that there was a little ghost girl in room 208 looking at her own body.” She lowered her voice to a whisper. “Her alive body.”Or: When a young client comes in caught between life and death, the only people who can help her are the Dead Boy Detective Agency

Summary
A smaller thought occurs to him: kiss Edwin. Now that’s much easier for him to sort through; he very much would like to kiss Edwin, again. To dip in and taste what exactly it is he’s left behind.
“Uhhh,” says Crystal, from beside them.
Right, so. Crystal’s here, too.
Or, after kissing—just to break a spell!—Charles and Edwin find themselves physically unable to be apart.

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.”

Summary
University AU.
When Charles is escorted home by the police after a drunken night out, Edwin, his best friend and housemate, agrees to accompany Charles in future.
He almost immediately regrets this.
***
He opens the front door and sees Charles is there. The two police officers flanking him are a surprise.
“Evening,” the left-hand officer says. He is middle-aged, his brown beard speckled with grey.
The officer on Charles’ right-hand side is younger, fair-haired and clean-shaven. He has his arm looped through Charles’ arm, holding him up rather than holding him still.
“Good evening,” Edwin parrots back.
“Is he yours?”
Edwin nods automatically.
“We found on a roundabout on the main road and thought it would be best to escort him home.”
“I was picking daffodils,” Charles says in the slow, emphatic way of a drunk trying to sound sober.

Summary
Crowley arrives at the Johnson Space Center, where he will train for a year to prepare for six months aboard the International Space Station. He is excited. Ready to reach the nebulas. Even though his past military trauma overshadows everything he does. Chaplain Aziraphale, hired three years ago for the brand-new NASA chaplaincy program, finds caring for the astronauts to be a breath of fresh air. Especially since NASA is the latest of a long line of failed parishes in a career directed by his brother, Gabriel.
Their paths collide when Crowley, after suffering a panic attack in a simulation, stumbles into the orbit of Chaplain Aziraphale. Crowley finds unexpected solace and acceptance in their relationship, and Aziraphale begins to believe he can be more than the subservient chaplain his family expects. It remains to be seen whether they can truly find their way together through the stars.

Sleeping Together by Good_Evening

Summary
“I’m so tired, Crowley,” Aziraphale whispered, “I wish I could sleep like you do.”
Seconds tripped by awkwardly, time warped into minutes.
“You can,” Crowley’s throat was dry, “I mean, I wouldn’t move, if you did.”
For a moment, he prayed. Crowley prayed that the darkness meant something different: for it to be his hand and not the coat Aziraphale gripped so tightly, head on his shoulder to simply rest because it was preferable, that he was with him simply because he wanted to be.
The Lord had not granted Crowley's prayers in a very long time, he thought, if She ever had.
-
Crowley knows exactly what he wants. Aziraphale pretends not to know what he means, and for sixty centuries, at that. That is, how and when, and even why, does one pose the question, "Will you sleep with me?"

Summary
“And we’ve spent our existence pretending that we aren’t,” Crowley’s voice cracked.
There was a forceful, anxious kick in Aziraphale’s chest. Oh, God, he was actually going to talk about it. Neither of them dared to for 6,000 years.
Crowley tossed his head to the side. “I mean…The last few years, not really. And I know why we’ve had to pretend, of course. That’s obvious.” His eyes lowered to the floor. “Can’t ever forget about that, can I?” he said under his breath.
~~
After being punished in Heaven for being in love as angels, Aziraphale and Crowley spend the next 6,000 years pretending their relationship never happened.- Language:

Summary
Charles thought it’d be grand, a revelation that stopped him and the world in its tracks as if hit by the biggest bloody vehicle possible. He thought it would come to him all at once – the feeling, the voice, the sense. Maybe it’d be while they were alone, somewhere scenic or romantic or both. Somewhere different, feeling different.
Love, Charles learned, did not work like that. At least, not for him.
and
Edwin did not have any expectations set. He had pushed the thought of it aside his whole life, left to accept a life of solitude and no meaningful attachments. He didn’t have friends in school, so he certainly did not have any romantic contenders. If Edwin were to think about feeling that way, it’d be an impossible thought.
Love, Edwin learned, did not work like that. It didn’t have to, not for him.
or
Charles realises he's always been in love. Edwin tries to fall out of love. Fortunately, he's not sure how to.

Summary
He could feel the leather hitting his arms, could hear the cruel words thrown at him. Plastic was burrowed in his abdomen, shards crimson and crusted with blood. He was going to get yelled at for this, he just knew. He'd messed up the case when they were so close to finishing it, and they couldn't very well get a new one of the figures. Now, their client wouldn't move on and it'd be all his fault, and Edwin would be upset and Charles never liked it when Edwin was upset at him, and Crystal would be mad and Niko would be disappointed and-
“Charles, breathe.”
