Summary
Edwin wonders how he looks in Charles' eyes.
----
An excerpt from a WIP that I've long since abandoned but I thought a little write up would be a good writing practice.Essentially, Edwin has a bad case of amnesia of the afterlife, and this is him reflecting on how different everything is - and, of course, how Charles fits in it all. This was meant to be included in a scene where him, Charles, and Crystal "interrogate" a ghost.

Summary
“Now if you’d stop the mindless yapping—I’m proper’ paggered and cannot be arsed to hear your annoying voice right now.” He leaned back against the wall and sunk into the bed, shuffling round in his spot until he was content, his attention finally leaving Aldred. As he tried to relax, he kicked his shoes off causing them to hit the wall, letting out a tired breath.
Aldred’s expression faltered, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Finally, he spat out an offended, “Annoying? You… you bosher! You’re the annoying one!”
Anything else he had to say was cut off when he slammed the door shut on his way out.
—————————
New to school, Archie find himself entangled with Aldred, the boy no one likes. The two initially clash, finding whatever means necessary to get on the other’s nerves, until one day they discover they’re all they’ve got.

Summary
Eddie can’t sleep, plagued by nightmares of Buck’s death and resuscitation. So, Eddie calls him. He calls him every single night.
‘ There’s a pause. It’s heavy—the sound of two people pretending they aren’t drowning.
“Did you mean to call me? Or…” Buck’s voice is softer now, careful.
“What are you doing up?”
“What are *you* doing up?”
Eddie laughs, a ragged, breathless sound. “Touché.” ’
(Bear with me, I watched 9-1-1 like a year ago and only got dragged back in cuz they killed Bobby off. Set sometime after the lightning strike and Buck’s coma dream thing. But literally ignore everything that happens after that because I’ve actually completely forgotten lmao. Wrote at the start of 2025 and I've also forgotten what I’ve put in it)

Summary
"Edwin?" A tentative hand was placed on his shoulder, startling him. Charles retracted his hand in a flash. Edwin had half a mind to chase the gentle touch of his best friend, but the other half seemed too keen on being foolishly preoccupied with all things Hell.
He was exhausted. Incredibly, tremendously, excruciatingly tired. He should've allowed Charles to drag him away from the memories. It would've been preferable to making him witness Edwin in this state — unfocused, unstable, utterly unreliable. He was out of his depth just from looking for an item.
And quite frankly, feeling like a helpless toddler was the last thing Edwin needed at the moment.

Summary
Edwin and Charles have slightly different views on acceptable levels of injury for Edwin to incur during a case. (Edwin's views may be best summarized as "damage may be incurred if necessary and beneficial"; Charles's as "no the fuck it can't".)
A three-decade-long tale of care, concealment, trust, betrayal, and healing.

Summary
"Okay," Buck eventually says. "Okay, just to confirm—I just gave you butterflies, right?"
"Affirmative," Eddie snorts.
"A-and you liked it?"
"Correct."
"And now you want—"
"To kiss you."
"Whoa."
OR Buck wants to train Eddie not to take flirting so seriously, miscalculates, and instead has them both spiraling over butterflies for the rest of the night.

Summary
The gentle drag of their lips was slow, unhurried. They had all the time in the world, after all.
Charles licked along the seam of Edwin’s lips, drawing a pleased noise out of the other boy as he opened up without hesitation.
They’d been busy for the past two weeks or so, one case chasing the other, so it had been a little while since they’d had some proper time to themselves like this. Charles was determined to make up for lost time as he started exploring Edwin’s mouth, licking into him and lightly sucking on his tongue. Edwin made a noise that was not quite a moan, but close.
Then he suddenly and unceremoniously pushed Charles away with a startled gasp. For a moment, Charles was confused and worried he’d done something wrong – before he realised that the office door had just opened. Well, shit.
The boys navigate physical intimacy and a new need for privacy, or: 5 times Edwin and Charles just want to have some time to themselves, and 1 time they actually manage it.

Summary
"....that doesn't ah, bother you, does it?"
"Does what bother me?"
"Me...calling you 'mate'."
Now that gets Edwin's attention. He looks back to Charles with a frown.
"Charles, you have been calling me 'mate' for over thirty years and it hasn't bothered me once! Why on earth would it?"
"Well I just thought," he manages, rubbing the back of his neck, "now that we're... y'know."
Edwin raises a puzzled brow. "'Y'know'?" He repeats dubiously.
Charles nods in agreement. "Yeah, y'know." He raises their still joined hands up and shakes them slightly for emphasis. "...Together."
Edwin's studious gaze looks over said hands, before darting back to Charles' increasingly flustered face.
"Why would that mean you could no longer call me 'mate'?"
