Summary
At first, he saw nothing but the usual dark void, the piles of forgotten toys and dust bunnies. But then, like a ripple in the air, a figure began to take shape. The pale, faint outline of a man slowly emerged from the darkness—a young man, no older than eighteen, wearing clothes that looked like they belonged in another century. His face was drawn and solemn, with dark eyes that seemed to hold a lifetime of secrets.
“I’m Edwin,” the figure said, his voice barely more than a whisper. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”
Charles blinked. "You're a ghost?"

Summary
“Edwin, what the fuck?” Charles asked as he walked to stand next to Edwin in the near pitch-black. The only light came from the slight flickering of the paused TV- white writing suspended on a black background.
“That was not my doing.” Edwin spoke quietly. “Please tell me you ensured this house was safe before descending on it for your movies?”
“Yeah, of course I did.” Charles said huffily. “Spoke to the locals, no suspicious activity. No hauntings, no creature sightings. Just your run-off-the-mill abandoned house.”
“Then what, prey tell, is that?” Edwin asked. The clock had stopped chiming and there was an eerie quiet, broken by a soft sound coming from upstairs.

He didn't know how he could tell, but he recognised it. The sight of the bird brings a feeling of familiarity, and it only intensifies as the bird coos and tilts its head at him.
"Monty?"

What really is The Puppy Debacle of '94? Here's my little spin on it.

Summary
Charles was under no obligation to give Edwin a speedy answer, of course. Edwin knew, better than anyone, that these things took time. But recognizing the hypocrisy of his impatience didn’t make waiting any easier. Because while Edwin was very much in love with Charles, he was also confronting a century of repressed desires. And those desires were proving to be just as stubborn as Edwin himself. Edwin might want to wait for Charles, but they did not.
Or: Edwin’s hot girl summer begins with an investigation into Niko’s death—and a visit to the Cat King.
