    Summary

    Despite himself, Charles was mesmerized by this strange version of Edwin Payne that had something of Hellfire to him. And he was so very close … “His eyes are decidedly less honest than yours. Intriguing... Never pegged Charles Rowland for a liar.”
    “Careful, luv.” The voice was a sing-song drawl, accompanied by the same scraping sound drawing ever closer. “You know I get jealous.” There, lit faintly by moonlight, was Charles Rowland – face pale, grin wide and eyes cast in shadows, twirling a cricket bat that had been studded with nails glinting wickedly like iron stars. “What you think, Win? I say there can only be one.”

    A string of grave robbings leads the Dead Boy Detectives to stumble into a ritual, summoning versions of themselves, who have experienced a very different afterlife. Not only is there a pack of hellhounds on their heels, they also won’t stop at chaos nor bloodshed to carve out their place in the world – and remove their superfluous doppelgangers in the process.
    As Crystal desperately tries to master her powers and keep the fabric of reality from unraveling, the boys need to stop their nefarious doubles. To make matters infinitely more confusing, the two delinquents are madly in love...

    Summary

    Because all Charles wants—has always wanted since the first time they ran away from Death together—is for Edwin to be happy. He wants to rekindle that spark in Edwin’s eyes and watch it bloom, free and fearless.

    And the thing is… Charles is the one holding the match that can light that fire, isn't he?

    Oh.

     

    Or: How a seemingly run-of-the-mill case, ye olde repression, and Edwin Payne’s collarbones give Charles Rowland his bisexual awakening. Though not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    Crystal enters with another girl in tow, a tall slim frame, lots of long dark wavy hair, and— okay, Charles knows it's rude to ogle, her eyes are up there, he knows he shouldn't stare.

    But this girl's wearing a thin jumper that looks to be at least a size too small— the hem barely meets the top of her skirt— and no bra, and the view is spectacular.

    And that's just the finishing touch on an overall gorgeous body: long legs, narrow waist, shapely arms with a nice bit of definition to the biceps, long graceful neck and a pretty face, all dark lashes and full pink lips, with a cute little beauty mark dotting the chin.

    ...Wait.

    "Edwin?" Charles gapes, and Edwin's hands clutch at the folds of his skirt.

    From this anonmeme prompt: "Edwin gets cursed into a female form. He’s extremely annoyed. Charles, who’s having A Bisexual Crisis, offers to show him it’s not all bad..."

    Summary

    "You let him get away?" Crystal says. "I thought you said this'd be a cakewalk!"

    "Thank you for your contribution, Crystal," Edwin says testily. "Clearly we were wrong, and now another innocent may die because of it. Happy?"

    "All right, settle down, you lot…" Charles says in the placating tone he's been using a lot more since Crystal's integration into the agency. "Yeah, we underestimated the pervy git and he's now running around wearing Edwin's face. So what are we going to do about it?"

    -OR-

    A shapeshifting incubus takes on Edwin's likeness. Charles gets very confused.
