Summary
Edwin Payne suffered a fate worse than death the day before the bombs dropped and the world ended.
Two hundred years later, he saves a boy named Charles Rowland.

He looked him over, and realized it wasn't just his eyes that had seemed off. There was something more, something about his skin that sent up some sort of red flag in Charles's brain.It was missing on one hand.
Not even in a gory, bloody mess way like Charles had seen before. No, this was just… gone. And where he had expected to see bones or muscle or something, he instead saw… metal.

Séances and Summonings (and Screaming) by ahyperactivehero (ahyperactiverhero)

Summary
Charles is doing fine after Port Townsend. Sure, he can't let his friend out of his sight without hearing him scream, but that's not a problem. He just won't let him out of his sight.
At least, that was the plan before someone summoned Edwin away right in front of him.

Summary
"You thought that our relationship was just, what, physical?" Charles manages, understanding beginning to dawn and horror along with it. "That I was using you to fuckin' satisfy myself until I could find someone I liked better?"
Edwin shifts, kneading his fists together and avoiding Charles' gaze.
"You make it sound as though it is such a terrible thing, Charles," he says stiffly yet with a distinct sincerity. "It is not. That I could provide any comfort to you at all is something I am deeply grateful for. I do not and have never required you to love me in the-in the way I love you."
He meets Charles' eyes again, so terribly determined and kind. It makes Charles want to scream and hit something.

Or Edwin has been under the impression that his place as Charles' sexual/romantic partner is temporary. Charles disagrees.
