    Summary

    It’s not particularly revealing.

    It’s not particularly sexy.

    Long skirt. Prim blouse. Clunky, thick-soled flats and long socks, up to his knee like always. Edwin’s hair just so, all swept up and carefully styled, his bow-tie still in place despite his lack of shirt and pullover...

    Turns out, however, that seeing Edwin Payne in a skirt unearths some very specific, absolutely aces kinks inside the brain (and boy bits) of one Charles Rowland. Good job they’re already the love of one another’s Afterlife…

    NOW FINISHED. STILL FILTHY.

    Summary

    It's one of the first things Charles notices about Edwin: he doesn't have a daemon.

    While Anita curls around him, protective with teeth bared despite the freezing water drenching her fur, Edwin stands alone.

    Charles hadn't thought it was possible to lose your daemon and stay sane, but he also hadn't thought that ghosts were real, so he just sort of accepts it and moves on.

    When he finally does gather the courage to ask Edwin about it weeks later, Edwin goes awfully still, a wild, panicked look crossing his eyes for just long enough to make Charles regret saying anything.

    Eventually, Edwin does respond, voice low and rough.

    "Hell is designed to tear souls apart, Charles," he says, not meeting Charles' eyes. "I'm sure you can deduce the rest."

    Summary

    Chopper whips over to him. “Well, you see Sanji, this is a lot to take in, and there’s no easy way to break it to you, and I’m really sorry I hadn’t acted sooner…”

    “What happened?”

    Luffy interrupts Chopper’s sputtered apologies. “Sanji, what happened is your wings!”

    Summary

    "We offer up," Charles reads, "this virgin sacrifice." He catches Edwin's gaze. "Only technically true. If we're looking for a technicality..."

    "Charles," says Edwin, his eyes enormous.

    "I know. If it gets you out, though, if there's even a chance—"

    Charles and Edwin have sex in Hell. It solves all their problems and gives them everything they ever wanted.

    Summary

    In Wylan’s defence, he didn’t intentionally set out to borrow anything from the Crows. It was just that he picked up a couple of blankets here and there, fell asleep in his chair and woke up to a coat draped over his shoulders, tried on Jesper’s hat for a laugh and ended up keeping it… and before he knew where he was, it had become his thing. Or: Wylan has a habit of stealing clothes from his fellow Crows and no one really minds.
