Summary
On a Sunday evening, Charles Rowland saws off his hair with a pair of kitchen shears. He creates manhood out of thin air, and that’s a miracle all in its own right, he thinks, as dark curls drift down to rest against the tops of his bare feet. He washes his hands, scrubs the silvery blades clean beneath a gushing faucet, and the joy that erupts in his chest feels like the kind of purifying light he’s only ever heard about in scripture.
Charles Rowland is a boy.
When he tells his father as much, there is too much blood in his mouth for Charles to feel anything but dreadful. There is supposed to be holiness in the act of creation.
Where is the divinity in this?

When All My Friends Forget My Name (I Won't Go Back and Be the Same) by WhatsYourNameMan

Summary
But it gets him thinking about what he’d do, if he couldn’t say his own name, what he’d have people call him. He can’t say he’s all that fond of the idea; it’s far too similar to before he’d gone to St. Hil’s, when he’d had to pretend to be a girl and not tell anyone the name that was truly his.
And then he gets to thinking about Edwin, about how the two of them only ever call each other by their full names and surely he must have had a nickname at some point, so he just blurts it out.
"Did your mates ever call you Eddie?"

Summary
They didn’t have a mirror in the office; there was never any need for one since ghosts can’t see their reflections. Charles glanced around the office before settling on trying to see his reflection in the glass of their window. As he walked over to the window behind Edwin’s desk, he hoped it’d be clear enough to show him how his disguise looked.
Why is Edwin always the woman? Why is Charles always the man? As long as they’re both comfortable, that’s enough for the pair. They just need to know how to be comfortable

Summary
Viv knew exactly why she was having trouble sleeping, too, and she thought that should get her off the hook, as if knowing the precise shape of her anxiety would make it go away. It was a nice thought, like in a fairytale where you just had to figure out the monster’s name and it would leave you alone. But she’d known this particular monster’s name for a while, and it hadn’t had the decency to shove off yet.

Summary
“Edwin?” Charles whispers, slowing down his steps when approaching his mate. “Edwin, is that you?”
The person’s breath hitches upon hearing Edwin’s name. Charles stops walking, waiting for a sign from this person to be Edwin and not someone else who’s landed themselves in the Dollhouse. He watches the person at the end of the hall lift up their head from their lap, staring helplessly at Charles with lines of dried blood down the right side of their face. To Charles’s surprise, this person looks like Edwin, but with longer hair and rounder features, and it hits him. It hits him like a slap to the face and tears immediately fill at the corners of his eyes.

Summary
“I wasn’t always confident in my name when I started at St. Hilarion.” Edwin starts, earning a small glance from Charles. “I ran away from home, started a new life, and presented myself as Edwin Payne. It took a couple months for me to get used to saying it out loud.”
His eyes narrowed at Edwin, studying him in a new way that left Edwin feeling very unnerving. “What? Your name was Edward and you changed it so your family couldn’t track you down at a measly boarding school?” Charles’s question has bite, but it’s nothing Edwin can’t handle. He’s getting defensive, a common charade Edwin used during his time at school and knows all too well.
“We are the same, Charles.”

Summary
“What’s with the thinky face?” Charles asks. He bites back a laugh as Edwin startles, looking caught.
After a hesitation, Edwin asks carefully, “May I ask a rather nosy question?”
Ah. Charles has been wondering when this would happen. Edwin hasn’t asked any questions since Charles came out to him as trans, and while Charles certainly doesn’t mind not having to answer uncomfortable inquiries about his gender and body, the lack of curiosity from his normally over-inquisitive boyfriend was getting worrying.
“Sure, babe,” Charles says, trying to keep his tone light. “Ask away.”

Summary
He’s got Edwin pinned beneath him on the bed, stripped down to his undershirt and trousers, hands mussing up his carefully slicked-back hair. Edwin’s so relaxed like this, so beautifully unlike the brick wall he normally presents himself as. Charles wishes he could keep him this happy forever.
Except Edwin’s hands trail down Charles's sides and start to fidget with his belt buckle, and suddenly Charles remembers. Remembers why he hasn’t done this before. Why Edwin can not get into his pants, at least not without an explanation.
