Summary
Kara cradles her pile of dirty plates. She doesn’t know how to open Lena’s brand new dishwasher without ripping the handle apart. She usually figures these things out through trial and error, but she’s never been alone in Lena’s apartment, and she can’t risk winging it in front of her.
So, she just stands by the sink and watches the hot water redden Lena’s sensitive skin, the light glinting off her beautiful earrings, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.The verse comes to her, unbidden, from one of their weekly poems. Lena always chooses poems with such physicality to them. Always real, touchable.
---Or: Kara is an alien, Lena is a genius. Their strangeness separates and connects them to the world and each other in peculiar ways. Being human in Lena’s eyes allows Kara to tap into parts of herself she hadn’t been able to explore before, but she knows her secret will one day stop being a bridge between them, and they’ll both lose the version of Kara Lena has grown to love. (Tender slow burn, mutual respect, bittersweetness and tentative physicality galore! Some angst and a lot of joy)

Summary
Something's wrong with Edwin. Crystal is trying to rebuild her life. Everyone is missing Niko. And Charles is trying to keep everything from falling apart. Into all this comes another bombshell: the cases that started it all, Edwin and Charles's deaths, might have started something else, too. Something darker. Something that threatens to break the Dead Boy Detective Agency altogether.

Summary
Alive and grown up AU where Edwin and Charles have been together for years now.
Edwin's got it all laid out perfectly - planned the perfect proposal for his perfect partner and when he says yes they live happily ever after. Right?
Except before he can set it in motion, something has Charles crying the kitchen at some godforsaken hour, and everything starts to go terribly sideways.
Things aren't looking so good for that happily ever after, are they?

Summary
“Not quite yet,” Charles snags Edwin by the elbow before he can round the corner. “I hate to do this, really do, but I have to check.” Edwin breaks eye contact at once. He no doubt knows exactly what Charles is about to ask. “Are you entirely sure that there won’t be any demons about?”
**
Edwin and Charles infiltrate a magical auction with one goal: to save a kidnapped infant from being sold off to the highest bidder.
Things, predictably, do not go to plan.

Summary
Edwin stumbled and choked on a laugh. Charles kept a solid hold on him so he wouldn’t fall. “What exactly do you call this style?”
“It’s an underground dance,” Charles said dismissively. “Doesn’t have a name. It was all the rage in my day though, trust me.”
Edwin laughed out loud this time. “Of course, I forgot about the ballroom dance craze of 1987.”
“Exactly. Now hold on!” Edwin knew Charles well enough by now to intuit what he meant, and he latched onto Charles’ shoulder with a death grip just before Charles dipped him low to the ground.
“You’re going to drop me!” he sputtered. Charles laughed and hauled him back up. They both knew full well that Charles would do no such thing. Edwin just liked to act scandalized for the fun of it.
“Have I ever dropped you before?” Charles asked smugly, falling back into a two-step.
“There’s a first time for everything,” Edwin retorted.
