Summary
Colours and smells and sounds surrounded him on all sides, making him feel somewhat claustrophobic as he gasped for air that wasn’t filled with sickly sweet pollen. He reached for his breast pocket, wanting to take notes so he could have some sense of normalcy in this nightmare, but to his utter dismay, his book wasn’t there either. Monty cawed, the sound almost confused, as much as a bird can sound confused. However, despite the nonsensicality he felt in doing so, Edwin answered the question that hadn’t been asked.
“Monty, I have a feeling we’re not in Port Townsend anymore.”

Summary
“Maybe we should split up,” Monty suggested as they all turned back to face each other. “Right? I mean, that’s like, the only way we’ll be able to cover ground fast enough.”
Crystal rolled her eyes, scoffing. “Wow, says every dead teen in a horror movie ever.”
Edwin's lips quirked in a bit of a smirk at Crystal's barb, her small comments somewhat endearing now. However, in this case, Monty was right. “The elemental poses little threat to humans. As such, we should pair ourselves up accordingly: one living and one dead per duo. Monty, with-”
“Charles,” the raven-haired boy cut in, attaching himself to Charles's forearm, right in the way of the torch Edwin was about to pass to his companion. “I'll go with Charles.”
~~\\\\~~
Or, Monty chooses to betray Charles in the forest, feeling it the lesser of two evils. Without anyone there to warn him of the danger, Charles walks right into a trap that could end his afterlife forever. Meanwhile, Edwin helps Crystal with David, facing his fear of returning to Hell.

Summary
The apocalypse had come slowly, as if the earth itself were trying to delay it. It started in the plants, growing where they weren’t supposed to, whole redwoods poking their ways through skyscrapers, wild gardens taking over office buildings. People tried to remove them, but eventually, it just became easier to let them stay. Then, the creatures. The first incident was reported by a distraught son who'd gone deer hunting with his dad. He said that when his dad tried to shoot the deer, it just ate the older man, leaving bloody bones behind. The son lost his hand trying to get away from it. The animals turned, creatures of every kind becoming violent to the point where people were putting down their own dogs before they could be betrayed.
Cell towers were covered in vines and Wi-fi routers were grown through with roots and wandering branches, rendering phones almost completely useless. Governments had been mostly dismantled, leaders either dead or in hiding.
Niko's dead, Edwin needs to find somewhere safe before Crystal loses her mind, and Charles just hopes he stops finding corpses.

Summary
He could feel the leather hitting his arms, could hear the cruel words thrown at him. Plastic was burrowed in his abdomen, shards crimson and crusted with blood. He was going to get yelled at for this, he just knew. He'd messed up the case when they were so close to finishing it, and they couldn't very well get a new one of the figures. Now, their client wouldn't move on and it'd be all his fault, and Edwin would be upset and Charles never liked it when Edwin was upset at him, and Crystal would be mad and Niko would be disappointed and-
“Charles, breathe.”

Out For The Count by sevenofsorrow

Summary
He moved to swing his legs out from under the blankets, only to feel one of them get snagged on something: Ilya’s ankle was wrapped around his own, knee pressing into Shane’s thigh. When he tried to wriggle it free, his boyfriend resisted and pulled his leg in closer. A taut arm reached out and sleepily tugged Shane back down onto the mattress. He gave in easily.
“I thought you were asleep.” Shane whispered, tersely.
He felt a small stab of irritation too. Once again, Ilya had gotten in the way of his workout routine and — even though he wasn’t doing it on purpose — it was hard not to be frustrated about it. Shane needed this. The only way he had been able to soothe his racing thoughts about flunking out of the NHL next season was by reminding himself of his plan to work out early in the morning. Now, his anxiety soared, but it felt like annoyance. Why didn’t Ilya understand that he needed to stay in shape? Didn’t he see how hard Shane had to work to keep up with everyone else?
“I woke up.” Ilya’s voice was husky with sleep, “Come back to bed, moya lyubov.”

Summary
“Go away.” Giovanni said simply.
Martin looked at him, confused. “Who are you?”
Giovanni’s eyebrow twitched. “Are you serious? You saw me a week ago.”
“I’ve never seen you before in my life.” Martin said.
“Wh- I told you you were my enemy! I bonked you!” Giovanni snapped, releasing Molly’s shoulder to point an accusing finger.

Falling (through 4 floors or in love?) (Edwin/Charles) by Deathsletters

Summary
Extract:
“The Cat King is just a smooth talker. I wish my next kiss to be with someone I love.” added Edwin.Charles blinked a few times. Edwin was not realizing the implication of this sentence. He was half confessing wanting to kiss his best mate. Which was not something Charles was ready to hear. He froze, his face serious. Edwin was just starting to feel the change in the room from light to charged.
“Okay”, said Charles.
“Okay to what?”, asked Edwin, not sure he had followed his train of thought.
But before he could think, say or do anything, Charles put a hand cupping his cheeks and almost immediately followed by his lips falling perfectly on Edwin’s.
Featuring an oblivious Charles Rowland and a not-so-uptight Edwardian Edwin Payne / Paine. Hope you'll enjoy!
