Summary
Edwin's bent neatly at the waist, scrutinising the etchings on the doorstep like they hold all the secrets of the universe. Rain patters down, around and through him, bouncing off the paving stones, and wind brushes through the trees.
Charles tucks his hands into his pockets, hunching his shoulders in and suppressing a shiver.

Summary
Charles silently despaired that the curse that made you speak in Shakespeare quotes didn't give you any help remembering them, and went to go stand next to Edwin, who smiled at him as he drew near.

Summary
He is not in Hell. It is not the same.
For one thing, Charles is in danger. Edwin is not in danger. There is nothing chasing him.
He walks faster, but he does not run. The more ways he can differentiate matters, the easier it is to remember.
It is not the same. He is not in Hell.

Summary
"Edwin, mate? It's- it's alright, I'm not gonna hurt you, mate,"
Charles's voice echoes through the factory, concerned and tense. Edwin wishes he could let Charles find him, let him soothe away the panic with consolatory words and gentle touches.
The problem is, Edwin knows what Charles sounds like when he's lying.

Summary
Charles thinks he should maybe have a harder time believing Edwin, when he tells him.
Only, he looks the part, doesn’t he? Pale skin, pale eyes, dark hair; sharp, angular features. Properly regal, he is. Like something off the cover of those raunchy supernatural romance novels Charles sees in the storefronts when he’s out on the town with his mates.
Not for the first time, Charles sees those pale eyes dart down to his neck, and an odd little shiver goes down his spine.
—
Or: a different version of Charles and Edwin's first meeting, where Edwin is a vampire instead of a ghost. Some things go very differently, while others don't change much at all.
For Deadboyween day 10: Death.

Summary
Jonathan Harker wakes up the day before he is due to visit Castle Dracula with a head full of memories about what is supposed to happen next. He's not exactly happy about this, but on the other hand, it does provide a wonderful opportunity to kill the vampire before he gets anywhere near Mina.
