Summary
Thomas and Edwin hit it off after a chance meeting and fall hard and fast in love. Their chemistry is undeniable and despite a bit of pushback, Edwin is determined to integrate his new boyfriend into his friend circle.
Their Summer of love comes to a screeching halt in a mess of lies and misunderstanding. Left to pick up the pieces of his broken heart after two rounds of grief and betrayal, Edwin spends the next year going through the motions. Everything changes for him, though, when Niko convinces him to join her, Crystal and Charles on a Summer Holiday to Ibiza.
Perhaps things might not be as irreparably broken as he thought they were.
This fic is mostly completed and will update weekly, every Friday!

Summary
He looked up, pulling his hands to his chest in disgust as he felt his jeans get soaked. He was in a dark alleyway, cold wind rushing past him. He swiveled his head around and up, it was dark and cloudy and gross everywhere. The walls towered around him and he swore he saw a red smear staining the metal trashcan next to him.
As he stared at his surroundings in disgust, all he could think was: What the actual fuck.
Basically, Monty goes to Gotham after the events in Port Townsend during Dead Boy Detectives.

Summary
He glances at the clock and grits his teeth, before ringing his mobile again.
No answer.
He will grant Mr Finch half an hour, no more.
It turns out he doesn’t need to though, because barely five minutes have passed before:
“I’m sorry I’m late, I’m so so sorry!”
A man comes through the door of the nursery, utterly soaked through from the rain outside.
His long black hair is plastered to his face and neck, dripping onto the white button up shirt he’s wearing. He’s not wearing a coat or jumper or anything to protect him from the weather and the thin white fabric has gone see through from how wet it is, clinging to his thin frame. Charles recognises him instantly as Cassie’s dad, as the man who has made the past hour an irritating waste of time for him. His forename escapes him, but he’s undoubtedly Mr Finch, just very wet, and no doubt very cold. -

Summary
For a heartbeat, he hesitated. Then, the carefully constructed armor he had wrapped himself in shattered, exposing the raw emotion beneath. “I look at him,” Charles said, his voice trembling under the weight of his confession, “and I see myself.”
His gaze swept from Crystal to Edwin, desperation etched into every feature. “That boy is terrified,” he continued. “I don’t even think he knows what he’s scared of. Before we came along, the only person he’d ever known was Esther fucking Finch!”
The venom in his voice turned to a bitter snarl. “Familiars aren’t born, they’re created. They’re molded to serve their masters—to act as extensions of their will. We all heard how she talked to him back there!”
Charles’ eyes softened, though the pain lurking behind them remained. “Are we really going to hold him accountable for something ingrained in him? Something she stitched into his very nature? He betrayed us, yes, but - What choice did he really have? What would she have done to him if he hadn’t?”
Aka, a self-indulgent alternate ending of S1 ft. headcanoned backstory, ghostcrow end goal, and a projected hatred of Esther Finch

Summary
Charles is bored.
It’s the all consuming boredom that makes his skin itch in a way that nothing can satiate it. He’s not able to focus on anything and god has he tried: the words of his book are swimming off of the page and escaping him as he tries to focus so he abandons that, the paperwork does the same thing, and even reorganising his back of tricks holds no joy so he leaves it half unpacked, trinkets and tools scattered across the floor.
He’s bored.Monty seems to not be having the same problem though, because this entire time he’s been sitting peacefully reading some book on astrology, curled up in the armchair next to Niko’s bed.
And unfortunately for him, Charles is going to change that.

Don't Cry, It's Alright (Our Wings Were Made To Fly) by Packleader for rogertaylorsconverse

Summary
Title from 'Letters From The Atlantic' by the Arcadian Wild
This started as a character study on Tumblr (pssst go check me out @packleaderBriggan) and I found I simply could not shut my mouth. So here we are!
Does anyone else think that, after everything, Monty clung to any way he could feel in control of his own body?
Esther created him. She made him - his body, the very thing he was meant to feel secure in - for the sole purpose of seduction and bait for her traps. He truly was created to be a femme fatale, and his body was nothing more than a tool to further Esther's revenge on the boys and Crystal.
So, once everything is over, once he's finally found a home with Edwin, Charles, Crystal, and Niko (because they all made it out, fight me), what do you think he'd do in a desperate attempt to make his body his own?
I want to explore that. -

Summary
“What is this?” Monty pulled away, propping himself up on one arm. “What are we?”
He gestured between them at that, eyes wide and imploring. Thomas mourned the loss of his warmth, wanting to reach out and hold him close again.
“I don't know,” he answered honestly.

Summary
This is a fic based on a Roleplay I had with a friend on Amino. I changed it quite a bit, but the essence is still there.
————————————
Filled with both curiosity but mostly the nagging of his security module, he sauntered over to the recharge station. He didn’t take the time to check through the small window, he’s a busy gator. Ripping the door open he stared blankly at the inside of the cell for a moment before slowly lowering his gaze.
As soon as his optics scanned the person as an intruder, he felt his security protocols kick in on full gear. He clenched the handle of the small compartment, leaning in with narrowed eyes. Tipping his snout down to make eye-contact with the shorter animatronic, the gator let out a low growl.
“It’s past closing hours, lady, what th’ell ‘ya doing here?”
