Summary
Prince Edwin Payne, heir to the Edwardian Realm's crown, wishes he had met Charles Rowland under different circumstances. He unfortunately doesn't have such a luxury, as Charles is an enemy of the Realm, champion of the Resistance and is kidnapping him just at the moment.
Oh and did I mention they're in space?

Summary
"What are you doing?" Edwin demanded.
"Dunno...it's a bit freaky."
"Sorry, what is? A human infant appearing in our office? It's certainly not the oddest item that has ended up here."
"He is not an item, Edwin. And...he has the same eyes as you."
________
When a trip to an enchanted forest ends with a living baby at the Dead Boy Detectives office, Edwin and Charles are now facing an unexpected challenge: parenting in the afterlife. Also, why does the baby look exactly like Edwin?

Summary
Charles Rowland is adapting pretty well to the end of the world, all things considered. There's a lot to be grateful for: he's alive, he's got his best mate/boyfriend with him and they've got a plan. He just wishes Edwin would stop trying to bite him all the time.
__
Or, Edwin has turned into a zombie but Charles doesn't let that stop him from sticking by him. In sickness and in health and all that. Hopefully the scientists are coming up with a cure because that's where this two person (well, one person, one zombie) pack is heading!

Summary
Soulmate and Alive/Modern Day AU!
Edwin and Charles are soulmates that can feel each other's pain--AKA pain pals. Unfortunately, this means that their soulbond is platonic and that one day, one or both of them will find their pleasure bond and their soulbond will be severed forever. Edwin's biggest fear is Charles finding his pleasure partner and no longer having their Bond. Charles' biggest fear is Edwin feeling more of his pain.
Join us for the whump and the journey to navigate their pain bond and (maybe) finding their romantic soulmates! (wink wink)

Summary
"Charles, you're young enough to have seen The Little Mermaid, right?" Thomas said, sounding pleased with himself. An orange tabby meowed up at the cat king. "Oh, that's right...it came out in November 1989 and that was after you died. Awww...Well this'll be fun then! Glad the ending wasn't spoiled for you!"
--
When the cat king puts an enchanted collar on Charles that takes his voice away and can only be broken by Edwin kissing him, Charles isn't that worried. Edwin is in love with him, and Charles has feelings now too, although he's yet to tell Edwin that. So getting Edwin to kiss him will be easy. Right??

Summary
He's bloody useless, that's what he is.
Those poor girls and their mum have been trapped in a nightmare murder loop for thirty sodding years, and what's Charles do? Sticks his bloody nose in and gets caught in the loop right along with them.
Those handful of moments live in his head, now. It's the same thing every time: he steps up, livid, cricket bat in hands; he hauls it back; that wanker throws him against the wall like he's a worthless bloody rag doll, and there he stays, sat there, not able to do anything but watch as that absolute arsehole hacks them apart with an axe.
Again. And again. And again.

Summary
It is three full days before Edwin realizes that there is a third person in the house. Until then, there is not so much as a hint as to the additional presence.
It comes as a surprise: a quiet knock, as though someone is at the front door.
The sound does not emanate from the entryway, however; it comes from somewhere else entirely, just off the hallway, at the top of the stairs that Edwin has presumed leads down to the cellar.
There is a pause, and then the knock comes again, quite faint. A voice follows it, just as soft: "Mum? Dad?"

Summary
"Charles has not gotten lost since 1997," says Edwin, waspishly. "And that instance was only because a rather ill-mannered dead wilderness guide put him under a curse. Charles does not get lost."
"Could have gone to find another shop," says Crystal. "You did sort of say, 'It is of utmost importance, Charles, we simply must have these candles.'" She puts on the stuffy, false British accent she always does when she means to imitate him, and it is as dreadful as it is every time.
"I do not sound like that," says Edwin. "And he would have been back by now. Mirror travel renders distance near inconsequential." He draws himself up short and mimes a brief, frustrated gesture with his hand. "See yourselves to the door, please. I need to think."

Summary
Getting in the water with his clothes on feels a bit weird, even if they won't get wet – Charles can never help clinging on to those habits of life that Edwin seems so ready to abandon – so he strips down to his singlet while Edwin reads, completely engrossed, and the rest of the Brighton populace carries on, completely oblivious.
He hesitates, only a tick, before removing his singlet as well, letting the material pull over his arms naturally rather than be willed away and-
There are bruises littering Charles's body.
