    Summary

    Edwin sighed and unfolded his hands to push his hair back. “I suppose this was inevitable,” he allowed.
    Charles beamed. “That’s the spirit. Look at it this way — you’ve never been to a house party before, and here’s one that’s right up your alley!”
    “Ominous and full of peril?” Edwin asked sardonically.
    “Exactly!” Charles agreed. “This way you get to go to a party you’ll actually like, because it’s actually a mystery. And once you solve the mystery, the party ends. I couldn’t have thrown you a better one myself.”

    Ideal reading experience: out loud, doing voices for the characters and singing the lyrics to the 2000s songs whenever they show up, lol

    A classic. Miles at his most "come a long way on his recovery journey" and Phoenix at his most "prime specimen of a bisexual disaster". They are so right for each other.

    Summary

    The other boy slowly lowers his arm back to his side as he meets Charles’ gaze. His eyes are scrutinizing. “There isn’t time, unfortunately,” he says, hushed, “for a full explanation. So, in short order: my name is Edwin Payne, yes, I too was sacrificed to Sa’al by my classmates at St. Hilarion’s, and both of our souls have been traded to the creature that resides here. Unlike Sa’al, the creature has no qualms about torturing souls and prefers to chase its prey. It will be following the trail I have left behind. Hide here. I will lead it off.”

    Or: Charles Rowland is sacrificed in the same ritual that killed Edwin Payne, seventy-three years earlier, only a short time before Edwin would have made it out of Hell on his own. Now, instead of being responsible for only himself, Edwin's got to get the both of them out of Hell. It's not going to be easy.

    Brutal, brutal, brutal, one of the best hell fics. Takes my breath away.

    Summary

    “Are you a zombie?” Niko peers into Edwin’s eyes. “Because the Night Nurse told me zombies exist. Do you hunger for brains, Edwin?”

    “Hardly.” Remembering being splattered with gray matter in the not-so-distant past, Edwin shudders. He cannot imagine consuming it. “I’m not a zombie.”

    “What about a vampire?” She almost looks excited by the prospect. “We’re only a couple of hours from Forks. It would be perfect!””

     

    When they’re caught during their escape from Hell, Charles and Edwin have no choice but to make a deal: they have one hundred days to find and entrap a powerful, malevolent spirit, or both of their souls are forfeit. But when they’re both temporarily restored to living bodies to aid in their search, being alive brings with it a host of new feelings, which neither of them know how to cope with, especially as their deadline looms closer and their quarry proves increasingly dangerous.

    Professional-level stuff. Would recommend this to practically anyone, even if you aren’t familiar with the show (though the full brilliance really does require being familiar with the source material).

    Summary

    The first thing Charles ever notices about Edwin is that his voice is far too posh to sound as kind as it does. The second is that Edwin has pretty eyes and a face that was made to be painted.

    Or: the cascade of events leading to the completion of Charles Rowland's long-standing bisexual realisation.

    Too brilliant for words.
