School Sucks And So Does Your Boyfriend by Yellowferns
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
11 Sep 2025

Summary
Moving to Port Townsend from sleepy New Hampshire just to attend the world’s smallest college is either the best or worst decision Monty has ever made. But he can’t really complain much when dorm life is much better than living with his mom.
The thing is though, that while he won the jackpot and got to move across the country from his mother, he was still left with a roommate, who, in all likelihood, doesn’t know they’re rooming together. He also probably doesn’t know what century it is if his clothing choices are anything to go by. Maybe Edwardian clothing is making a comeback.
Or-
Monty Finch moves across the country to attend college and is roomed with none other than one Edwin Payne and semi regularly, his boyfriend Charles. The only issue is, Edwin’s very attractive, and Monty is very into him. But what Monty doesn’t know is that Edwin is single and has been eyeing Monty when he’s sure he won’t get caught.Bookmarked by The_Pythia_Oracle

Summary
He shuts his mouth when Edwin rests a hand on his knee. So warm, too warm for a ghost. “It's alright, Charles, if you still need time.”
He lowers himself down to his knees, kneeling comfortably, hand sliding slowly up Charles's thigh.
“But I hope you don't mind I indulge myself while I wait?”

Edwin is hit with a potion by the incubus they're chasing down. Charles is struggling to identify what exactly the potion did, but he can tell something's different about Edwin. Only in the process of figuring it out, he finds himself a bit distracted...

The Case of the Antisocial Anime Aficionados by RoseGanymede95
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
15 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Melanie stared down at her fine leather handbag. “I don’t want him to do something stupid. Like find a way to hurt himself. Or… maybe hurt someone else.”
Ah. Edwin leaned forward on the desk, steepling his fingers. “I see,” he said. “In that case, you are not only looking for our help as investigators. You are also potentially in need of bounty hunters.”
“Of course not!” Melanie exclaimed, bristling. “I’m not asking you to kidnap him at gunpoint! I just want you to find my stupid little brother before he cocks up something serious!”
Edwin shrugged. “Semantics,” he said simply.
The boys take on a case that will be very easy to solve. It will definitely not bring about any unexpected complications or zany hijinks.

Summary
“What is it?” Charles asks.
“Hang on,” says Edwin. He flips rapidly through pages of his notebook. He magically extended it a while back, so the bloody thing’s got more than seven-hundred pages full of Edwin’s notes and sketches. It makes for a tense several seconds of flipping.
When he does stop, finding the correct page and holding it open under the light, Charles’ breath catches in his throat.
“Is this her?” Edwin asks urgently.
Edwin’s a damn good artist, even if he insists it’s just a practical thing. He’s captured her likeness shockingly well. Lank hair, full cheeks, sullen pout. Wide, staring eyes.
“Yeah,” Charles breathes. “That’s her. Who is she?”
Edwin is clearly horrified. No, it’s worse than that. Edwin looks scared. Charles’ instincts all kick up into high gear, and he has to clench his fists to resist the urge to simply shove Edwin into his backpack.
“I don’t know,” Edwin says quietly, like he’s afraid of being overheard. “But I’ve seen her.” He hesitates. “In Hell.”Series

Catch A Falling Star (And Put It In Your Pocket.) by BadBoyDeanAsf

Tags
Summary
“Welcome to The Dead Boy Detective Agency, I’m Edwin Payne, my partner has only just stepped out; How may I assist you today?” Edwin tries his hardest to give the woman his most gentle of smiles although he’s sure it looked most uncomfortable.
The woman’s own smile grew tight as she tied up her robe and sat gently on one of the chairs provided in front of their desk. Her eyes are searching, skittish, fervent in their observations as if looking for their next threat.
“My name is Mary Rowland and I’m looking for my son.” The woman- Mary, announces with finality, “I know my boy is long dead but I won’t leave this plane without him.”

Otherwise titled as "Charles IS a mommas boy and Edwin doesn't know how to handle it- Hes totally not jealous at all"

The Case of the Haunted School Job by StarsAndAces
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV), Leverage (US TV 2008)

Summary
A lot of tragedies have happened at St. Hilarion's over the years. Recently, there's been another. The story of a girl who died under mysterious circumstances reaches the Leverage team, who are on vacation in London. At the same time, the Dead Boy Detectives are hired on the case. Unfortunately, their styles don't mesh well, especially because they don't know the other team is also there.
------
"Well I have no idea why she's here. She has been living in London for the past year, so I don't know why she would be a transfer student from the US. Also when she came in here, she looked pretty guilty, like she was doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing. And I've never seen that other girl with her in my life."
"There's some rich girl doing weird things at the 'rich people doing weird things' school," said Eliot. "Do you think she's in any way connected to the murder? Because if she isn't, it's not our problem."
"Sure," said Breanna. "I'll drop it." But there was still the feeling in the back of her mind that she was missing something about this situation and that Crystal Palace Surname Von Hoverkraft was, in some way, mixed up in this whole thing.

Summary
“Charles?” The boy asked, startling him from his thoughts. His voice was soft and kind, like his mum’s often was after a particularly rough night with his dad.
Charles looked up, his good eye blinking owlishly. “Who’re you?”
He looked back at Charles, lips set in a wobbly frown. If Charles had to guess, he’d say the strange, stuffy-looking boy was trying not to cry.
There was a long beat of silence. And then:
“Oh, my dear. What has she done to you?”
---
Or, after tangling with the spirit of a mad scientist, Edwin is left with a seven-year-old Charles that has no memory of him or their afterlife together. Edwin learns about Charles’s childhood in steps, as Charles finds his way back to the family he’s built by working through the trauma of his past.- Language:

Did you miss me brother? (if you remembered me at all) by Awesome_3893

Summary
Alexander Payne had few personal items with him in the trenches. A wooden carved cross his father had gifted him years ago, on the day he first left for St. Hilarion's. Flowers he pressed carefully between pieces of paper, waiting for them to dry so he could send them home to Anna, his bride-to-be. A few assorted letters from friends. A picture of him and his parents, as stiff and lifeless as they always seemed to be. Most precious to him, however, was the singular photograph of his younger brother Edwin and the treasured few letters the younger boy had sent. These were stored more carefully, at the top of the tin where they were less likely to be crushed.
or
Alexander Payne died during World War 1, in November 1915. He has spent the last 110 years confined to the battlefield where he died and the small town nearby, oblivious to the fact that his younger brother Edwin died merely a year after he had. When Alexander learns about the Dead Boy Detective Agency, he simply hopes he can find a way to break whatever tie is keeping him here, and instead comes face to face with Edwin for the first time in over a century

This House Says My Name Like An Elegy by Wrenythinggoes
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics)
29 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Wayne Manor has stood almost as long as Gotham itself. From the outside, it looks like a haunted house: all dark stone and shadows with lives of their own.
Every so often, someone “has to ask” about the rumors that the building is haunted. A nosy reporter. A drunken socialite. A paranormal YouTuber.
Outwardly, Bruce Wayne laughs them off, dismissing the idea out of hand. It's not his secret to tell.
The reality is that Wayne Manor is much warmer and more welcoming to those who reside there than it is to outsiders. Laughter echoes through the halls. Little faces peer out of the windows, waiting to welcome him home.
That's not to say there are no ghosts.
But they don't haunt the Manor.
They make it a home.***
Bruce somehow finds himself parenting some very traumatized ghost kids. And an equally traumatized living child. Sometimes family is a billionaire, a butler/dad, a gaggle of ghost children, a toddler assassin, and a weird, drunk, magic uncle.
