How do you love me? (let me count the ways) by Hse11z5
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)

Summary
There was a fundamental truth that Charles had believed for all of his life and afterlife: that he was unloved, and unlovable. He had grown up with his father telling him he wasn’t enough, that he let everyone down- over and over. The scars those words left stung more than any belt ever had.
....
“I just wondered if you could say it again.” Charles whispered, eyes still screwed tightly shut.
“You want me to… say it again?” Edwin repeated, and Charles nodded without looking at him. “You want me to say I love you again?”
“Please.” Charles whispered, his eyes fluttering open, daring to search Edwin’s for just a moment.
“I love you, Charles.” Edwin placed his hand tentatively on top of Charles’. Charles stared at the place where their hands met. “I am in love with you. And I will say it as often as you would like me to, for as long as we exist.”
[or, every time Edwin tells Charles he loves him, until Charles is able to say it back.]

Summary
The aftermath of the Prank left Remus Lupin angry, hungry and utterly alone. After spending months apart from Sirius, who was the object of his despair and of his desire at the same time, Remus was on the verge of madness.
Then, the unthinkable happened, a violation so deep it left two souls completely broken and adrift. Remus turned into the monster he so desperately didn't want to be, and Sirius found himself craving violence as a sick substitute of love.

Summary
“What the hell is your problem?!” Luke shouted at him not caring if he woke the entire house. Though now past the shock, Luke could see exactly what Aegon’s problem was. Aegon’s hair, which reached his shoulders, was dyed bright pink.
Aegon seemed to pay no mind to Luke instead focusing on his brother who was roused from sleep at the sudden loud noises happening around him.
TLDR: Aegon’s hair gets dyed pink and he makes it everybody’s problem.

Summary
Edwin comes home to Charles watching his parents through the mirror, checking to see if his mother is okay. She is unharmed and happy, and usually that is all that matters to Charles.
“She is happy, Edwin! I've never seen my mother happy, not while I was alive! Not once!”
But today is different, it makes him think.
“Edwin what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me, that the only fucking way my mother could find peace was when I died? Tell me what's wrong with me! If I was gone…”
Was it his fault all along?
Edwin is terrified, trying to hold his friend close enough, so that he can't break apart. Caught between what he wants to say, what he needs to say, and what he can verbalise.

Summary
Sirius' heart was beating too fast for Remus to consider it normal. His heart was beating like crazy and Remus frowned.
What was it about?
He looked at Sirius again, at his wide eyes. The next thing that was wrong was his breathing, which was quickening. In addition, he pulled his arm out of Remus's grasp as if it had burned him
Remus pulled away immediately.
Was Sirius afraid of him?
He looked at his friend once again.
Sirius immediately looked away, staring at the floor. His heart still racing.
Oh Merlin, he was.

It's the sixth year, shortly after Remus's seventeenth birthday, it's another full moon, but something has changed...

Summary
Sirius Black was no stranger to loneliness, he thinks at some point he embraced it. It was an old friend from the days of his childhood. But it had been a long time since he’d felt truly alone. The familiar embrace of loneliness had felt almost foreign at first, but as the days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months...
Sirius Black and loneliness had become a pair once again.

Summary
"No, I- I think it's sweet that you care about him -that you want to protect him or his feelings or whatever- but you can't be alone forever for his sake," Crystal explains, panically.
Charles drops the girl's wrists then, turning his whole body away from her, the way a chided dog might cower in its cage.
"Maybe I can. I definitely feel like being alone right now," he snaps.
***
In which, during a romantic rendezvous, an obviously distracted Charles Rowland, admits to Crystal that he cannot stop thinking about Edwin. Expectedly, an argument ensues, leading to a startling realisation for the ghost boy.

Summary
“I can fix it. I- I will fix this, I promise”
“You’re a Black. You can’t fix something that’s ingrained in your blood, Sirius.”
Sirius was hurt, but he still wanted to fix things for Remus. He understood why he couldn’t be a part of the resolution himself, but he could still help. He would make Remus forget he ever existed, that way Remus would be happy again.
It was easy, Sirius made his plan in the span of an hour. He just needed to avoid being in the places Remus enjoyed, sit at the back to avoid making him uncomfortable in classes, avoid mealtimes, and get him to make new friends. Maybe even a new boyfriend. With that in mind, Operation Happy Moony began.Bookmarked by mxflora

Summary
"You know, it is the strangest thing, Charles," Edwin says. "I look at you, and I know who you are, and I can remember loving you. I remember being in love with you.”
“You remember," Charles repeats slowly. "But, what? The spell made you stop fancying me?” he asks, only half-jokingly. Perhaps it would make things easier, if Edwin weren’t in love with him.
But Edwin shakes his head. “Not exactly. I am not lacking any attachment to you in particular. I am simply- lacking.”
Or: A spell removes Edwin's love for Charles. Charles is not coping well.

Summary
After Remus forgave Sirius because of the prank, nothing was the same. Sirius acted like he was walking on eggshells every time they were around each other, and Remus hated it. Granted, he hadn’t been the nicest to Sirius, but he was the victim here. Remus only wanted to see Sirius try a bit harder, but he wouldn’t. Still, Remus didn’t expect him to go MIA on his birthday. Neither did he expect to find him in a closet.

Summary
Something snapped inside Remus, and he grabbed Sirius arm hard.
“Of course we are not talking anymore. Of course we are done, Sirius. Do I really have to say it?” His tone was low, sharp.
Sirius's voice had died in his throat. By instinct, he tried to free himself from Remus’ grasp but Remus only held him tighter.
“You almost made me a murderer. Do you understand what that means? You almost ruined my life.”

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.

“And you think you’re your dad,” Crystal fills his sudden silence, tear-tracks on her angry face, “and that Edwin would be your mom, and that you’re somehow destined to have the exact same relationship as them if you ever admitted to yourself that you’re in love with Edwin.”
Or, Crystal pops the question about whether Charles is in love with Edwin or not, and Charles proceeds to go down a full rabbit-hole of feelings and trauma. Thankfully, Edwin shows up to help.
