You'll be the Prince and I'll be the Prince(ss) by Doeybug

Summary
Charles has a million self-assigned jobs.
He makes sure Edwin takes breaks regularly, he draws the runes, he keeps the pocket-dimension organized, he deals with the social aspects of the agency, he's the brawn to Edwin's brains. Recently he's also become Edwin's boyfriend, which is the best one by far.
Crystal had pitched an absolute fit about "healthy communication" and that sounds like social shit to him, so he takes that up as his responsibility too. Edwin doesn't like discussing things like that, so Charles gets better at reading him and figures it out for the both of them.
That's all peachy right up until Charles doesn't have it as well in hand as he thought.
How do you learn something new about someone who won't talk to you?

In which communication turns out to be a two player game.

Summary
Charles could hear the sirens, dopplering closer as the lights painted the night blue. “I have to go,” said the boy, more to himself than to Charles. “If they catch me here—well. It doesn’t matter. You won’t remember this.” He smiled, and it was like the moon appearing shyly from behind a cloud. “Goodbye, Charles.”
Charles Rowland should have died at sixteen, but he didn’t. Three years later—eager to escape call centre purgatory—he joins the Lost and Found Department as a psychopomp, charged with escorting the recently deceased to their afterlives. But why does his new colleague seem so familiar, and what’s that persistent tugging feeling at his wrist?

Summary
Charles plopped down unceremoniously on the other. It was the same position they always took if they weren’t touching, and Charles wondered if it was some sort of muscle memory. The thought brought tears to his eyes again.
He forced himself to summarize the situation. “So, the witch bolt gave you amnesia. But only for me.”
“It appears that way,” Edwin said. “Yes.”
“So… you don’t remember me? For real? Like… at all.” Charles tried to keep his tone non-judgmental. He hoped to God it was working.
“No,” Edwin said, sounding sad. “I am sorry. But, if it is any consolation, I think that I remember loving you.”

Or, Edwin loses his memories of Charles. And yet, their love can still shake the earth.- Language:

Summary
Charles had played sports his whole life.
Football, Cricket, Basketball, Rugby - he threw himself into all of it with a passion like no other, and he was good, very good.
Playing on Eastfield Community's Sixth Form Rugby team meant Charles, and his teammates, regularly practiced with and competed against local private boys school: St Hilarion's.
Charles didn't usually pay much attention to the opposing team.
Then Edwin crossed his path.

Summary
“You owe me, remember? I’m cashing in,” Monty said.
Edwin grimaced. “I don’t believe I agreed to such a preposterous request in return for—”
“You pretend to be my boyfriend until after the Halloween Jamboree and I won’t tell Charles about what happened with Esther first year,” Monty said, staring him down with the most seriousness Edwin had ever seen upon his countenance. “Deal?”
Or: In return for an old favor, Edwin agrees to pretend to date Monty until Halloween. Which is totally fine and not a big deal except for how it seems to be not fine and a very big deal to just about everyone he’s ever met.
