Summary
Having been raised as the omega son of a Viscount, Edwin knew he would never have a choice when it came to love and marriage. It would be his father who decides and he had finally accepted that. What he couldn’t come to terms with was the fact that his soon to be husband was none other than his high school bully… Simon.
After an awful dinner with the family of his now betrothed, Edwin runs away into the night, unaware of how much his life was about to change. And that maybe finding love wasn’t such a foolish dream after all.

Summary
"Who are you?” Charles asked as the warlock glanced around the dock, clearly looking for something. Eventually, he let out a small ‘ah-ha!’ and snatched up his glasses from where they must have fallen. They looked a little lopsided, likely damaged from one of the falls, but they covered his eyes well enough.
“Edwin Payne, detective,” he said with a rather haughty air. “And you were about to kill my client.”
XWarlock detective, Edwin Payne, has every reason to not trust Shadowhunters. But that won't stop Shadowhunter, Charles Rowland, from trying his best to win him over.
Between missing girls, demons, and a few targeted attacks, it's only a matter of time before these two idiots fall in love. If they survive, of course.

Summary
Charles had played sports his whole life.
Football, Cricket, Basketball, Rugby - he threw himself into all of it with a passion like no other, and he was good, very good.
Playing on Eastfield Community's Sixth Form Rugby team meant Charles, and his teammates, regularly practiced with and competed against local private boys school: St Hilarion's.
Charles didn't usually pay much attention to the opposing team.
Then Edwin crossed his path.

Summary
Edwin hadn't explicitly said it, but the whole 'there's no time' routine and scary words like 'siphon' and 'fractures' don't leave a lot up to imagination.
Crystal can't imagine a world where a ghost getting all their energy used up means there's anything left afterward. Fuck, if Esther hadn't needed him as a long-term battery, isn't that what that god-awful machine would have done? Crystal's gonna find Edwin after this is all over and he's all healed, because she needs to smack the shit out of him.
She doesn't have many friends. She can't afford to lose any more.
OR
Edwin falls victim to a particularly nasty magical object, devouring his spectral energy from the inside out, starting with his memories. Luckily, he has a psychic and co-dependent best friend at his side. Less luckily, the only way for them to save him is to delve into his past, into memories from when he was alive, and of course, from Hell.

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.

Summary
Looking at the evidence laid out plainly, Charles can only come to one logical conclusion: The person behind him, if it was a person at all, wasn't Edwin.

and, oh yeah, he had recently killed a bloke.
