Summary
"The spell forces honesty out of the afflicted target," Edwin says promptly. "I seem to be compelled to answer any question, as well as unable to lie when answering."
There's a brief silence while everyone takes that in - including Edwin, who immediately looks down at the floor, lips pressed tightly together.

Summary
Surely Charles did not mean what Edwin’s thrashing dead heart seemed to think he meant.

As Edwin watched, the mark glowed brighter for a moment, then dimmed, then brightened again, swimming like sunlight streaming through water.
Somewhere to his left, Edwin heard a misery wraith scream. With a start, Edwin came back to himself.

Soulmate AU where the state of your soulmate's soul is reflected on your skin. Edwin doesn't have one by the time he dies. Charles has a dead mark. This doesn't cause problems at all.
Inspired by JUBE514's beautiful art.

Summary
Case number: Actually, Crystal has no clue how many cases the boys have solved over the years. The case: apparently one only she can help with. Not Charles. Emphatically not Charles. The mystery: Why Edwin Payne is suddenly attracting romantic advances that he really, really, really wants to stop. (A side note: Crystal is pretty sure it’s not an ancient Celtic curse giving him game but good luck telling him that.)
