    Summary

    Charles liked leather.

    Really, really liked leather.

    His favorite jacket was leather, a smooth dark brown that smelled heavenly when he was alive. The scent had always been addicting to him, and now that he’s dead he finds himself missing the intoxicating musk.

    He also happened to enjoy the feeling of leather which, as with the scent, was something he found missing in the afterlife. He still liked to run his fingers over his coat purely out of habit, as if the repetitive motion would somehow bring back his sense of touch.

    (...) These feelings, these signifiers of life, were something he knew he’d never fully get back.

    Or so he thought.

    -- OR --

    Charles gets Edwin a collar and a mirror. They get freaky.

    Summary

    For a magic-user intent on siphoning pain for power, both Hob Gadling and Edwin Payne represent unique opportunities. United in dire circumstances, a man incapable of dying and a boy long dead forge an unusual friendship--and try to survive the experience.

    ---

    “When you died,” Hob said. “How old were you?”
    “Sixteen.”
    “That,” Hob said, “Is awful.”
    Edwin shrugged. “Life is, I’m afraid,” he said.
    “Can be wonderful, too,” Hob said. “I promise.”

    Summary

    Edwin forgot his notebook at the office.

    Not a problem. He prided himself on having an excellent memory. He certainly liked to jot down notes as he worked, but it wasn’t like he couldn’t work without it. He would just have to remember things until they returned to the office.

    It was fine. He was a professional, and professionals did not delay an investigation because they forgot their notebook.

    OR

    Just months after escaping Hell, Edwin accidentally forgets his notebook on a case. He does not handle it well. Luckily, his new best mate is there to help him out.
