    Summary

    “Alright. What is not aces is that this is transpiring to be futile. I may have to contact Monty and see if he is willing to-”

    “No!” The protest escaped Charles before he realised it, his mouth snapping shut immediately at Edwin's incredulous look. The thought of some random bloke getting it on with Edwin – even for a ruse – was enough to make him do something stupid. “Why do you need someone else, mate? I’m right here, aren’t I?”

    Fuck, too stupid.

    Edwin sucked in a sharp breath, the only indication that Charles had stepped onto an invisible landmine. “What are you offering, Charles?”

    Now that he’d started, he couldn’t stop. “For the holiday party, mate. You need someone who knows you, someone who’s willing to go along with it, someone you’re comfortable with, then- well, I’m offering myself up, mate.”

    or

    Surely there is no way pretending to be a couple for a christmas office party can go wrong.

    Summary

    “Suspicions?” Crystal snorted, sitting down next to Jesse on the bed. “What suspicions?”

    “I suspect that behind your tough and uncaring persona…” Jesse leaned in, as if sharing a secret. “Is a girl who seriously cares about what others think. I really think that Crystal Palace Surname Von Hoverkraft is secretly a big softie.”

    “Dream on,” Crystal snorted. “Haven’t you heard? I’m mean and I’m a bitch. That isn’t changing any time soon.”

    “Whatever you say,” Jesse grinned and reached out to hold Crystal’s face. “I know better.”

    -

    A time (pre-canon) Crystal Palace fumbled a girl, and a time (post-canon) that she didn't.

    Summary

    Edwin knows this is new for Charles. He understands, when Charles wants to take it slow. When they are kissing—because kissing is something they do, now—and Charles pulls back just when Edwin can feel it getting heavy, huffing something about not wanting to rush things.

    Edwin can give Charles time to get used to this; as much time as he needs. He can satisfy himself with daydreams and thoughts of Charles in the meantime, as long as it takes for Charles to be ready for more. Forever, if he never is.

    But god, Edwin does not want it to be forever.

    After beginning a romantic relationship, Edwin assumes Charles is not yet ready for sex due to his unfamiliarity with same-sex relations, and Charles assumes Edwin is not yet ready for sex due to his unfamiliarity with any-sex relations. Naturally, they do exactly zero communication about this.

    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...
