A Need for Transparency by Lundlaeva (Black_Crystal_Dragon)

Summary
Charles starts turning himself intangible. Repeatedly. It becomes a problem.
He swings the sword in a circle, like he used to with his bat, to remind himself of how it handles. Edwin’s gaze flicks towards the movement and then lingers, though he keeps his head turned slightly away as if it’s a secret that he’s watching. Charles’s insides leap and on impulse he repeats the move.
The sword clangs on the pavement.
“Butterfingers,” he says as he crouches. Collecting the sword gives him a nice excuse not to look at Crystal, or at Edwin. It’s embarrassing — he’s done that move hundreds of times, with all kinds of different weapons, and he’s never botched it so badly he chucked something on the floor before …

Summary
Charles remembers Edwin running. He remembers the sound of his feet on the rusted iron stairs, a frantic rhythm, a heartbeat outside his body. He remembers pulling Edwin through the doorway.
But when the door closes, somehow, Charles’ heart is beating again. He is alive. But he can’t see Edwin anymore, can’t hear him, can’t feel him. And it nearly kills him all over again.

Summary
"Jeremy Heere was quite possibly the most attractive man ever to grace the Earth, which was a pretty unfortunate quality to have for someone who was literally Satan."
Michael wasn't stalking the hottest, douchiest new transfer student Jeremy Heere. He was just investigating Jeremy's possible connection to an overarching conspiracy that encompassed the entire city and made nerds into picture perfect people. He was just keeping an eye on Jeremy's psychopathic best buddy Rich Goranksi, who always seemed to be talking in code - and asking for help. And he was just teaming up with the school resident theater geek in a covert operation to uncover the mystery of if any of the popular kids had a soul at all.
Maybe he was just trying to figure out why Jeremy Heere looked so sad all the time. And maybe the answer would be far more complicated than he could have ever imagined.

Summary
After the SQUIP Incident, Jeremy was forgiven. He should have been fine, his life had been balanced out. He had new friends, he regained his best friend, his dad was trying, he was doing well in school. Everything was okay. Everything was good.
Jeremy didn't deserve it. Jeremy wished he was dead.
(Alternately titled You Don't Just Walk Away From Traumatic Experiences Like A Manipulative Supercomputer Controlling Your Body Without Severe Repercussions, Jeremiah)
