Summary
“You’ve been running a long time, haven’t you? You don’t need to run anymore.”
Charles tried to shake the cotton from his thoughts, but Death was looking at him with the kindest eyes he had ever seen in his life or death. “Um – what about Edwin? You can’t split us up,” was all his mind could grab hold of.
“The ones we share a great love with never truly leave us. There are bonds that even Death cannot break.” She smiled softly again.
Charles felt comforted by that. Edwin would never truly leave him. “That’s – good,” he managed to say. He was feeling pretty peaceful about the whole thing, actually.
“Are you ready to find out what’s next?” Death asked as she extended her hand to him, palm up and welcoming.
Charles looked at Death, with her exceedingly kind eyes and her overwhelmingly tender smile, and her hand an invitation that he could not refuse.
He reached out and took it.
And Charles Rowland passed on to his afterlife.

When Charles is separated from Crystal and Edwin on a case, a moment of compassion puts him in Death's path, and Edwin has to find a way to bring him home. -

Charles, drunk from a face full of pixie powder, kisses his best mate.
~I imagine Charles would be extra silly, happy, affectionate and impulsive if he became accidentally intoxicated from an enchanted substance. Luckily Crystal helps him make sense of what happened! Enjoy!

I’m crushed. I’m devastated. I’ll give them a happy ending myself.

Summary
Perhaps one of the lingering aftereffects of spending 70 years in hell is that even though Edwin trusts Charles implicitly, he still likes the comforting certainty of taking the lead and setting the pace in bed. Which is just brills, if you ask Charles, because what he likes more than anything is to be pressed into the sheets by Edwin and made to hear just how good and brave and lovely he is.

Summary
He shuts his mouth when Edwin rests a hand on his knee. So warm, too warm for a ghost. “It's alright, Charles, if you still need time.”
He lowers himself down to his knees, kneeling comfortably, hand sliding slowly up Charles's thigh.
“But I hope you don't mind I indulge myself while I wait?”

Summary
Something's wrong with Edwin. Crystal is trying to rebuild her life. Everyone is missing Niko. And Charles is trying to keep everything from falling apart. Into all this comes another bombshell: the cases that started it all, Edwin and Charles's deaths, might have started something else, too. Something darker. Something that threatens to break the Dead Boy Detective Agency altogether.

Summary
Welcome to Earth in the year 2046: here be monsters. Thirty years ago, a fissure opened in the ocean floor and unleashed creatures from another dimension upon an unsuspecting planet. When the world is ending, only two things can save it: the power of love - and giant, kaiju-fighting robots.
Crystal Palace fled the Jaeger Program after the death of her partner and now scratches out a living hauling stolen parts for illegal mech cage-fights in exchange for cash and the odd ration card. She’s satisfied with the grubby anonymity of her new life, until a face from the past arrives to pull her back into a jaeger.
Niko Sasaki was never supposed to be a jaeger pilot. After the death of her family in a kaiju attack, her guardian moulded her for command: the Jaeger Program is her inheritance. However, in a dying world, plans change, and Niko finds herself preparing to step into battle with the girl whose heart she broke.
A Pacific Rim AU.

Summary
Charles Rowland has it all figured out. He’s going to go to school, play hockey on a scholarship, and get a good job. That is his masterplan, and nothing is going to stand in his way.
Not even his lack of ice time. Or his questionable grades.
Thankfully, his new friend Crystal has the answer to all of this in the form of her best friend and world-famous figure skater, Edwin Payne.
They might just fall in love if they don’t kill each other first.
