Summary
If she thought about it for too long she could almost picture someone else. Someone with a cricket bat, someone who had wanted to protect her, both of them really. And if she really sank into the memories she could see someone else. Someone with white hair and kind eyes, pink starbursts surrounding them.
But they never stayed for long.
"Looks like we're stuck with each other," she said.
Edwin rolled his eyes, though he didn't leave. "Joy."

Summary
“Good thinking,” murmurs Edwin. “Perhaps it’s a benevolent sort of poltergeist. I wonder if -”
He’s cut off by a shower of daisies, the large, long-stemmed ones they put out in the shops for early spring.
“Aw.” Charles picks one up between thumb and index finger, turning it in his hand. “That’s pretty. D’you know, whatever’s making this happen, I feel like it honestly means well with us.”
Edwin isn’t listening. When Charles looks at him, he’s paler than normal, his jaw set in that not-at-all-good way.
“Please excuse me,” says Edwin, and walks straight into their mirror.(A teacup appears in the office, Edwin blushes a significant number of times, and Charles copes normally with being visibly showered in affection.)

Summary
Charles wakes up alive in his childhood bed. He can't remember very much, but nothing seems quite right.
--
"You're silly, darling," she says as she shakes her head.
"No, I'm serious, mum." He shifts on the hard surface of the wooden chair, furrowing his brows. He can feel something inside his chest-- like a solid mass. He presses a hand over it, surprised to find himself surprised at the way he can feel his own shirt, all the fibres and the texture of the cotton. "Have you ever cooked me brekkie before?"
She turns towards him, a half-smile on her face. "Charles, I cook you breakfast every day. What's gotten into you?"
He laughs it off, because she’s right. If she’s telling the truth-- and he can't imagine why she wouldn't be-- then it was, quite frankly, a ridiculous fucking thing to ask. "I--... Yeah, yeah... You're right. I'm sorry." For a reason beyond himself, he feels apologetic.

Summary
“Charles,” Edwin began carefully, “I believe that you administered what is commonly referred to as true love’s kiss.”
Charles blinked. “Oh?”

Summary
Part of Charles wished he could say it was a case gone wrong. In reality, it was almost entirely unrelated to the case. Maybe that was why no one else seemed to notice he was gone.

Summary
“Edwin? What was that?” Crystal barged into the room, looking sleep-rumpled and grumpy. She frowned at Charles blearily before looking over to Edwin.
“Who’s this guy?” she asked.
Charles felt his whole world caving in.
“My question precisely,” Edwin stated primly. When he turned his gaze on Charles, it was cold and unfamiliar.
“Who are you?”

Charles gets cursed on a case, causing Edwin, Crystal, and everyone he's ever met to lose all memory of him. Only one person, or rather, cat, is immune to the curse's magic, and Charles was really hoping he'd never have to see him again.Bookmarked by snappled

Summary
The fae have a bad reputation for trickery and deception but, well, it's not quite that simple. The favor of the fae, you see, is often more dangerous than their fury.
In which Edwin kind of does a favor for something a little beyond mortal ken and accidentally gets Charles re-lifed. Without him. In 2024.
Charles knows something is up, but he can't quite figure out what, there's a niggle in the back of his mind, a name on the tip of his tongue, someone he expects when he turns around who just, isn't there.
As for Edwin, well, isn't it better this way? Charles can go to shows, eat spagetti, grow old, fall in love, he was more than Edwin deserved. Right? 30 years is enough. He shouldn't be selfish. Not if it's Charles. Not if Charles can be happy.

Summary
There’s a boy leaning against the fence.
He’s putting most of his weight on it, arms propped up by their elbows and staring with rapt interest at the excavations. It’s been half an hour, now, and he hasn’t moved an inch.
If he hadn’t been otherwise preoccupied with delicately troweling between third-century cobblestones, Edwin might have worried about the boy’s mental state. As it was, he’d been studiously ignoring the way he can feel eyes tracking his every movement.
He thinks he’s been quite successful, so far.or: archaeology student Edwin Payne didn't expect the chatty tourist at the excavation fence to become someone he couldn't imagine life without
