Summary
Edwin had forgotten what Hell was like.
Not in the way that he could ever forget what had happened to him there – what years of screaming and dying and running and hiding and running had been like. It is of the way one forgets the exact pain of a needle until it punctures their skin again. Except for Edwin it is akin to one giant needle piercing him straight through, and scrambling any organs left intact on its way out. And although Edwin had attempted to not make a habit in considering the particulars of pain of his time in Hell, a small part of his brain not clouded by inconceivable agony, or being used to scream his throat bloody, considers that he cannot recall it ever feeling this unbearable.

tangled together yet getting closer still by gh0st_ratt

Summary
Edwin lies with his head buried in Charles’ neck, eyes closed and content to let the world continue its course as the light that touches his face filters through Charles’ hair. There is warm breath where breath should not be – against skin on a neck long dead, from a boy dead long before that – but it is not alarming, simply soothing. An even heave of air filling the space between murmured words.
Charles’ arm may be the only thing stopping Edwin from tumbling off the couch onto the ground, hand snug at his waist pulling him closer, allowing them to press together from shoulder to hip. Charles’ left hand holds a book, thumb pinning the inner spine upright. Edwin rather connects with the book in that way, his own spine stilling at every innocent, rhythmic brush of Charles’ fingers across it.

Summary
“Welcome to the Dead Boy Detective Agency, I am Edwin Payne. My partner should be returning shortly. Why don’t you tell me about your case?”
“Yes, of course,” said the client, perfectly politely. “I am seeking justice. It was an incident that has haunted me, if you will excuse my wording, for years.” A pause. “I want justice for –”
“Charles Rowland, hi!” said Charles, already wincing at his own timing. He hadn’t realised the ghost was winding up to the big reveal. Whoops.Or: A ghost from the past comes knocking. Charles gets justice; Edwin gets a hint.

Summary
“Alright, listen,” Charles said, after trying not to think at all for at least five minutes. “Hear me out.”
“Any ideas?” Edwin asked, not looking up from his page.
“It’s just. What would actually happen if you cut my hand off?”
Edwin jerked his head up so fast, Charles wondered that he didn’t brain himself against the stone wall. He looked more offended than he had when he found out about the live snake in Charles’ bag.
“What the hell kind of a question is that?” He hissed.
“I’m not saying we should do it!” Charles backpedaled. “I’m just curious! These cuffs make us proper solid, don’t they? We could probably lop it off and get me out.”
“No,” said Edwin emphatically. “We are not discussing this. I don’t want you getting any ideas and chewing your own arm off like a trapped weasel.”
“Not my whole arm, just my hand.”

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
