Summary
The voice comes again. “Hello? Edwin?”
Edwin recognizes it. Not from then, but from now. From University classes, movie nights, and sparkling smiles over picnic tables.
A rope is cast down into the dark, and he latches onto it with both hands.
Swallowing convulsively, he says, “Charles. Did I—did I call you?”

Summary
If Edwin could ever know cause for a second death, it would be this: Charles, looking utterly devastating in an honest-to-goodness red velvet suit, the top two buttons of his cream dress shirt tastefully undone and his gold chain settled under the open collar in place of a tie.

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy (Halloween Edition) by PantryJesus

Summary
It is approximately eight-oh-seven P.M. when the first projectile makes contact with Edwin’s dorm room window.
He assumes it is a stray bit of twig, at first, or perhaps an acorn blown off of the nearby oak tree by the wind. That is, until the second assault sounds with a delicate ping. Then, he takes it to be a group of early partygoers playing a prank on the unsuspecting inhabitant of suite 2310, room 1A, and resolves to ignore them.
It is shortly after the third ping that a familiar voice joins in with a distant “Oi, Edwin!”, and Edwin’s resolve proves futile.
—
October 31st, Edwin's first year of university. He believes he will be spending the holiday alone, but his new friend Charles begs to differ.

Summary
Charles thinks he should maybe have a harder time believing Edwin, when he tells him.
Only, he looks the part, doesn’t he? Pale skin, pale eyes, dark hair; sharp, angular features. Properly regal, he is. Like something off the cover of those raunchy supernatural romance novels Charles sees in the storefronts when he’s out on the town with his mates.
Not for the first time, Charles sees those pale eyes dart down to his neck, and an odd little shiver goes down his spine.
—
Or: a different version of Charles and Edwin's first meeting, where Edwin is a vampire instead of a ghost. Some things go very differently, while others don't change much at all.
For Deadboyween day 10: Death.

Summary
“Edwin, don’t say it.” Charles groans, keeping his voice low and hushed.
Edwin strains against the rope infused with just enough iron to make them solid, but not enough to hurt beyond a light-sting, and tries to catch a glimpse of whatever this witch is doing around the corner. God, he hates dealing with witches.
“I told you this would happen,” Edwin replies, smug and sing-songy. They may be hopelessly trapped and seconds away from being subjected to some new horror, but at least he was right.

Summary
“Dont really believe in soulmates,” Charles shrugs. “I mean, I believe in us, obviously.”
Edwin angles him a small, private smile from the sofa, the line of his shoulders loose.

Summary
An extract from the Cryptozoological Society’s quarterly newsletter, issue 588:
I reached out to Edwin Payne earlier this week in the hope that he might be prevailed upon to share some of his great great great grandfather’s personal diaries, so we could perhaps organise some readings. When I eventually succeeded in making contact, he said, “How in god’s name did you get this number? Bugger off and leave me alone, I’m terribly busy.” Assuming this to be nothing more than the famous Payne family sense of humour in action, I naturally called back, but haven’t yet managed to get hold of him again. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that you will all join me in wishing the very best of luck to Edwin and to Charles Rowland, who are currently preparing to mount an expedition to look for evidence of the Lambton Worm early in the new year.
