Summary
'As for Charles himself, Edwin was downright furious. This was worse than going to Hell for him, something he could now appreciate was likely the only way for him to escape in less than several decades. No, this stunt was completely unnecessary and beyond stupid, a fact he’d make clear if- when Charles was well enough to withstand his ire in full.'
When Charles jumps between Edwin and an enchanted iron knife, Edwin is forced into race against time to save his friend from a fate worse than death, while trying desperately to keep himself from falling to pieces.

Summary
So what else did he have to offer than himself?
“It’s all I’ve got.”
The Cat King grins widely, his hand sliding from Monty’s chin up into his hair, threading through the long black locks.
He looks the boy up and down, his smile almost manic as he steps even closer.“You’ve got yourself a deal, little bird.”
He whispers, his other hand coming up to join the first, both now buried in perfectly soft and silky waves.
“Although I think I have one problem with this arrangement.”
Monty takes a shuddering breath, almost a gasp as the man before him seemed to get even closer. He seems to instinctively lean into the hand in his hair, searching for his touch before he realises himself and jerks back.
Of course, Monty has only been human for two weeks. He doesn’t know what touch is like, what adoration or romance or affection feels like. He doesn’t know what it’s like to be kissed, to be touched, to explore someone else and get intimate.
He is completely inexperienced in everything.

Summary
And, bloody hell, he shouldn’t be tired. Ghosts didn’t need sleep. They were made entirely of energy! Charles was -
“Bollocks!” He pushed himself upright with a muffled curse and only minimal effort.
Of course, he was tired. He was tired for the first time in nearly 20 years because an angry minor deity had thrown him straight into Edwin’s energy-eating sigil. He remembered his back colliding with something solid hard enough that it dazed him; he remembered scrabbling towards the sound of Edwin’s voice, and not much beyond that.

So Charles decides then and there with his eyes boring into the image of a woman who couldn’t have possibly been half as lucky as them that he would confess to Edwin. He wasn’t sure when or even how but he knows without a doubt that his partner deserved to know he was loved, that his feelings weren’t unrequited.

Summary
Charles has never been one for drawing, except for the doodles he used to do in detention. Yet, in Edwin, he finds a muse. He can't bring himself to create a whole portrait; Charles could never do him justice. So he focuses on the little things instead.
(Charles draws the little parts of Edwin over the decades. It's for fun, until suddenly it becomes more.)

Summary
“Do you miss cuddling?” Charles asked it quickly, the words tumbling together. He’d been thinking of it with every kick of his football. Thinking of it for weeks, actually, every time he looked at Edwin’s arms beneath his rolled-up shirt sleeves.
“Do I – what?” Edwin blinked, closing the book and looking up at Charles. Even if nothing else came from this conversation, Charles would call that a win.
“I was just thinking. I miss cuddling. It’s one of the things I miss most from being alive.” Charles smiled over at him, a little bit sadly.
[it only takes Charles a few months of being dead to realise one of the things he misses most is cuddling. Luckily, he has Edwin to ask about these things now.]

Summary
Edwin and Charles didn't used to be able to feel each other, but they certainly can now. When their enthusiastic sensory explorations lead them to make a reckless decision that ends in disaster, Charles is left to deal with the bad memories and the consequences. With Edwin badly injured and now an orb, Charles retreats with him to an isolated cabin to try to find a way to heal them both.
Snippet:
Edwin gasps. “It’s worked, I think.” He sounds out of breath. He closes the book and slips it into his inner jacket pocket, then reaches back toward Charles. “Take my hand, love.”
Charles nods and does so, his eyebrows knit together in concern. He trusts Edwin completely, but can’t help being trepidatious. He’s never seen the mirror do anything like that before, or even imagined that it could, and now they’re supposed to walk through it to a place that isn’t even on earth? How could they ever be sure they’d be safe? But his beloved moves eagerly, stepping toward and then into the shining crimson glass, and Charles follows him with no resistance.
Stepping into the place on the other side of the mirror is like walking into a dream...

Summary
“Edwin. It is one thirty in the morning, you two geniuses just let our prime suspect escape into the woods and now we are trapped here. I do not want to hear any more. OK?" Crystal breathed deeply and clenched her fists. “Do not leave this room. Do not make anything worse. Just let me and Niko get, like, six hours sleep. Then we’ll sort it.”
“And what, pray tell, are me and Charles supposed to do while you two are sleeping?” Edwin folded his arms and cocked an eyebrow.
“Play eye spy, run on the spot, go to sleep. I don’t care!” Crystal bit back.
“Sleep sounds delightful but unfortunately, Crystal, you are shutting us in a room with only one bed.” Edwin countered.

Summary
Edwin stumbled and choked on a laugh. Charles kept a solid hold on him so he wouldn’t fall. “What exactly do you call this style?”
“It’s an underground dance,” Charles said dismissively. “Doesn’t have a name. It was all the rage in my day though, trust me.”
Edwin laughed out loud this time. “Of course, I forgot about the ballroom dance craze of 1987.”
“Exactly. Now hold on!” Edwin knew Charles well enough by now to intuit what he meant, and he latched onto Charles’ shoulder with a death grip just before Charles dipped him low to the ground.
“You’re going to drop me!” he sputtered. Charles laughed and hauled him back up. They both knew full well that Charles would do no such thing. Edwin just liked to act scandalized for the fun of it.
“Have I ever dropped you before?” Charles asked smugly, falling back into a two-step.
“There’s a first time for everything,” Edwin retorted.

Summary
Charles sets the record into the Victrola and puts the needle down; in an instant, the stately swell of strings fills the air. It is a lively song, uplifting. Edwin will never admit to it, but that is only part of the reason he is so enamored of it.
It is also the song that he used to teach Charles to waltz, five years past, the pair of them laughing and clumsy until, gradually, they were not, and they glided at last around the room like skaters upon the ice.

Summary
Inspired by this post by ouchmyghostskin on tumblr:
I really want Charles to drop some of his flirty try-hard pick up lines on Edwin when he starts to figure it out. And who knows if it worked on girls in the 80s, but it *absolutely* works on Edwin, who is pretty sure that Charles is the coolest, sweetest thing that ever lived, and his stomach is extremely swoopy about it. And Charles is *so* cat-who-got-the-cream about it. Like, "yes, I knew these lines were the shit."Bookmarked by Sunflower04

Summary
Charles stared at the huge pile of cash the ghost held, before looking at Edwin who gulped and nodded hastily. “Mae hyn yn fwy na digon. Rydych chi’n hael iawn. Diolch.”
The pair bid their farewells before phasing through the door. Silence enveloped the room for several moments before Charles turned to look at Edwin with a fake offended expression.
“So, when were you gonna tell me that you could speak fluent gibberish?”
“It is not gibberish, Charles,” Edwin chided, leaning back in his chair slightly. “It was Welsh.”
"Since when could you speak Welsh?"
"Since birth, I believe."

Summary
A long time ago, in another realm and when they were both younger but the same age as they are now; Edwin Payne told Charles Rowland that he was in love with him. It should have changed everything; it should have broken them apart or pulled them together. There should have been angst and indecision and heartbreak and revelations and great romantic swelling music. But there was not going to be any of that. Because Charles Rowland had already been starring in his own epic romance for nigh on thirty-five years, ever since he met a ghost who somehow saved his entire existence, and he asked him about kissing. He had been the lead romantic interest for all of his afterlife but had been acting the role of plucky side-kick; and he was not about to change that now.

Summary
“I’m not in love with you.”
“Ah,” says Edwin, succeeding a pause that goes on longer than he plans it to. “I see.”
“Shit, no, sorry, that’s not what I—”
“Charles, you mustn’t apologize—”
“No, Eds, wait, wait. That came out all wrong.” And Charles clutches Edwin’s hand tighter, so Edwin clutches back, taking strange comfort in the curve of Charles’s fingers, the ridge of his knuckles. Terrain that is somehow more familiar to Edwin than the paths he’s carved through Hell. “What I meant is, I’m not ever gonna be, like, in love with you. Romantically. I just—” His inhale is a juttering scrape of breath excavated from deep inside, and Edwin feels it as though it is his lungs that draw it in. “I love you, Edwin. I’ve always loved you. And after you confessed in Hell, I thought—well, I thought what I felt for you had to change. But it didn’t, and it won’t. I’m never gonna have a romantic notion towards anyone in the entire world, and I love you, and it’d be aces to kiss you.”
[ or: an aromantic awakening, a kiss, several bouts of crying, and a long cuddle on the couch. more or less in that order. ]
