Summary
Most ghosts didn’t celebrate their birthdays.
But Charles Rowland wasn’t ‘most ghosts’.
Indeed, Charles’ birthday was a high point of the year, a guaranteed day of fun for himself and Edwin. The fun always helped to push down the unvoiced emotions below: the loss, the unresolved pain of his death, the feelings of failure and inadequacy. Charles saw no reason why this state of affairs shouldn’t continue forever.
But then he turned fifty.
Or:
How a medieval poem changed Charles’ afterlife forever.

Summary
In this world where almost everyone is born with a soulmark that writes the first sentence your soulmate says to you, many, many have expected Damian's soulmark to be something… fancy, gaudy, and pretentious, even.
But then again, nothing is crueler than fate and love, after all.
Damian was born with a soulmark on his left chest, right on his heart, written in the colour of gold (of course, it is gold).
The soulmark reads.
[Hey, that's my chips!]
Yes.
What an anti-climax. A disappointment, even.- Language:

Summary
All Jason wanted was a case that was simple, clean, and far away from the latest mess in Gotham. Magic wasn't the Outlaws' area of expertise, but they soon found themselves investigating a dark wizard with a penchant for organ harvesting.
When an accident on the case leaves Jason as a clueless seven year old with a memory that's spotty at best, what else can his team do but go to his family for help?

Summary
One day at the tail end of summer, something drew him to Esther's house.
The estate sale sign was replaced with one that read 'For Sale.' The front garden was overgrown, paint peeling at the corners, Esther probably kept a spell up to keep it nice and now that she was gone, the spell was too.
But something of the fickle witch remained.

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Summary
“You’re… a boy…?” Bruce asks, hesitantly.
Dick frowns. “No, I’m not.”
“What.”
Oh boy. Oh shit, did Dick forget to tell him this. “Mama said,” he says, trying not to sound defensive, “I don’t have to be a girl, if I don’t want. But I don’t like the boys at school much, not during gym anyway, so I thought maybe I could keep my hair and clothes and everything, but change with the girls.”
It had seemed like, as Alfred would say, an elegant solution. Dick’s beginning to think he might get another talk about life’s necessary evils after all.
“Right,” Bruce says, after a long moment. He’s staring at his burger like he’s never seen it before. “Okay. That’s— Okay. I need to talk to Alfred, about that.”

If Music Be The Food Of Love, Play It Again, I Missed It by UneducatedAuthor

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
The salty breeze and relaxing sound of waves calmly meeting the shore would surely put him in a near meditative state if it wasn’t for something nagging in the back of his brain, an image of someone that should be with him, someone very dear to him…
“Edwin…” His mouth says faster than his brain can conjure a full thought of it. The name is unearthed from the deep recess of Charles' soul, where it lies engraved in the foundation of who he is. It’s instinctive, to say it. He reckons he must do it quite often, for it to come from a place deeper than his conscious thought. But if he’s right, then where’s–
“Edwin?!”

Summary
Edwin did not consider it overmuch when Charles materialised himself a skirt – short, red, and familiar – that morning. It was hardly an unusual sight of late, and always a delightful one to Edwin. He enjoyed following the journey of self-discovery his beloved was on, with all its similarities to and differences from his own. Not to mention that he could express his appreciation at each and every step…
No, he didn’t consider it overmuch, only kissed Charles sweetly until their agency hours began.
But.Or: Edwin, Charles, and the promised skirt.

Summary
Charles put the blunt to his lips and breathed inward, and the sensation was instantly wild. It had been decades since he’d tasted anything, barring one stint when he’d been solid for little more than a few ticks. But the weed was skunky and earthy, just like he’d remembered, and the smoke felt good as it filled his lungs. He breathed out, enjoying the burn before coughing something mad.
Coughing, he handed it off to Edwin.
“Are you alright, Charles?” Edwin’s voice cut through Charles’s coughing.
“Yeah,” Charles rasped. “I’m aces. Just… long T-break, yeah?”
“And what is a T-break?”

Summary
"Charles liked to believe that he was actually quite good at flirting. Or he was when it wasn’t Edwin he was flirting with. He could’ve just yelled I have a crush on you! Actually, I’m already half-way in love with you! I bloody fancy you! from the rooftops, it would’ve been more subtle. Every time he thought back on it, Charles had to breathe slowly to not blush bright red from embarrassment."
