Charles Rowland: Pain, Love, Desire.

Charles Rowland - Dead Boy Detectives

“You can’t go around telling people ghosts are real. They’ll think you’re insane, which, maybe you are, but they’ll make things messy”.

— Edwin Payne, Dead Boy Detectives

Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland (1910s Artist AU)

And Edwin's heart stops when he sees the uncovered canvases, these glimpses into Charles' soul, because finally, Edwin understands. 

Because Edwin looks at the paintings and he sees the city, captured in expressionistic brushstrokes. He sees the same damn city he fell in love with, even with its smog and its underbelly and its crampedness and its bustle, because it was the city that brought Charles back to life. He sees the golds and the blacks and what might have been called chiaroscuro in another lifetime, another art movement. He sees Charles’ masterful ability to capture life and translate it into brushstrokes and shapes and colors.

And most importantly, Edwin sees himself. Sees a figure in some paintings and a face in others, all familiar sharp planes and dark hair and a bowtie and an overcoat that Edwin could not abandon back at St. Hilarion’s. He sees gray-green eyes the shade of lake water, except these are not waters a boy could drown in- these are the eyes of a boy who once pulled another boy from a lake.

And Edwin knows, in this moment, that Charles loves him. God, does Charles love him. 

Because Edwin sees the way that Charles paints him, all haloed by the bronze and gold streetlights, capturing the planes of Edwin’s face in the way that no photographs ever could, painting him sharp and witty and tired and beloved and alive, alive, alive.

DEAD BOY DETECTIVE AGENCY (but they are slightly unprofessional and highly messy)

Don't get me wrong I've been loving all the Alive AUs for the boys set in the Edwardian era and in modern day with the girls...

but I would REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE it if someone would write an Alive AU set in Charles' time (1989). Please!!! I promise there is soooo much to explore there!

[iammissdistress]

has anyone made a gifset of charles' hands?

(i need it... for science)
