Summary
It wasn’t the screams that woke David. Not the thrashing, the hissing, or even the panicked intruders making their retreat.
It was the pain.

Ain't It a Fine Life by justagrumpynerd
Fandom Newsies (1992), Newsies - All Media Types
16 Dec 2022
Summary
A look into the lives of a pack of street rats just trying to make it during the turn of the century, and maybe being able to find some happiness along the way.
A collection of newsies fics I've written over time, because this is my comfort media and I love these boys very much. All of them take place in the same timeline, but any of them can be read on their own.
Disclaimer: they are written from a movie-verse perspective since that's what I grew up watching; that's not meant to gatekeep/deter anyone, just if there are any inconsistencies with the Broadway musical that's probably why.
Will update as time permits. Enjoy <3

An accident while investigating a series of deaths linked to a dangerous memory elixir leads to Edwin losing the last five years of his memory, including his relationship with Charles. As Charles does his best to juggle his boyfriend turned best friend again and solving the case, it becomes apparent that this is now a race against time.
Featuring: Charles suffering, amnesiac Edwin, the whole crew coming together to save the day, and a kiddy pool portal that is not at all embarrassing to stand in

I Turned Back One Last Time (just to prove you were there) by isnt_that_wizard

Summary
Since they'd fallen out of hell, the Night Nurse slamming the door on the awful baby doll demon behind them, Charles had been itching to touch Edwin. And it wasn't like his usual touch-oriented personality just wishing to have some sort of contact. He could control that easily enough after all this time.
No, this was something different.
This felt like a desperation. A need to be in Edwin's personal space, to keep his hands on him. He wanted to wrap his best friend in a hug and never let go, he wanted to sit as close as possible as they heard a new case. He wanted to take Niko’s place as she grabbed Edwin's hand to drag him to watch another one of her shows. He wanted to tuck Edwin against him as they sat on the couch. He would wrap an arm around Crystal and wish it was Edwin, who was merely across the room.
---
After Hell, Charles is terrified of letting Edwin out of his reach for fear that he might get taken away again. He is, of course, being very subtle in his attempts to keep Edwin close.
or
a series of moments when charles can't stop touching edwin to remind himself that he's real and safe, until it all finally catches up to him and he snaps

Summary
"Hold on, you think I'd turn?" Charles demands.
"Every ghost has a unique trigger, and I can't say I wasn't a little concerned on a few occasions in Port Townsend. Then, with that same look in your eyes just now…"
Edwin isn't wrong; it's not like Charles hadn't been thinking the same thing. But he shakes his head and attempts a comforting grin--Edwin's got too much on his plate to waste time worrying about the one person who's supposed to look out for him. "Don't worry, mate, I'm aces. So how do we find this demonic arsehole?"
-OR-
All ghosts are capable of turning vengeful. When their quarry is revealed to be a demon from Edwin's past, Charles and Edwin learn something important about their own personal triggers.
