I have this au. And it's convoluted and not very clear on the details. Essentially it's a time loop but the loop restarts back to when Edwin is 16 and in school. The first loop went as close to canon without the actual dying part (73 years in an asylum due to brain damage and a mental breakdown), the second loop Edwin is in his right mind and doing everything to prevent from losing it - except certain things are different (the year, his classmates, the attitudes). Things happen, but the most important thing is that he meets Charles and saves him. Fast forward 30 years and the loop restarts. That's where the story begins and the only clear thing in my mind is, that both Edwin and Charles remember bits and pieces of their lifetime together. This leads us to my favorite scene that I've thought of so far - the one where they see their teenage selves again:

Edwin, having finally found Charles: *makes a double take*

Edwin: Your piercings! They are gone!

Charles, having a moment: MY piercings?! Mate, what happened to YOURS!?!

#dead boy detectives #edwin payne #charles rowland #also they wake in like. the 2024 #so it's a bit of a they are eccentric bc they did grow up in different decades #they are better than their canon versions with technology #but barely #when they meet crystal and niko (and they will) both girls will be extremely confused about the level of computer illiteracy they both have #the whole fic was born of the burning need for the boys to have known each other for forever while still being alive #dead boy detective agency #dbd #dbda #charles managed to convince edwin to pierce his ears and it was a hassle and a half and is devastated to see them go #he is the main supplier of earings as in he drags edwin with him shopping #also charles has like a nose ring a lip piercing like at the side and several ear and helix piercings #he doesn't wear the lip one often because when you get socked in the mouth that shit hurts you more than it does them
