Concept: Edwin loses his afterlife memories for a few days because of a minor curse. So now poor 1916 Edwin is stuck processing how Everything has changed as the rest of the agency tries to explain as much as possible to him so he’s as comfortable as possible, while they wait for his memories to return. And he is willing to accept he died young almost worriedly fast, but he seems really stuck on having 3 whole friends. He’s like “All three of you enjoy my company?��� New tech? Just fine. However, the detective agency is thrilling.

Also his other friend who is a boy treats him so nicely and touches so often, even if he tries not to now for Edwin’s comfort, it’s just so habitual. And he makes sure Edwin has everything he could think of asking for before he could ask for it. And well it is the future? Perhaps things have changed?

What I’m getting at is very awkward and kinda shy 1916 Edwin stuttering out to Charles

“Uh, I have perhaps an inappropriate question. Forgive me.”

“Okay, shoot, mate.”

“Are we- Are we….Courting?”

Every single time I think of Edwin’s confession at the top of the staircase, I get so emotional because of the way Edwin sounds. I’ve never heard a line delivered as perfectly as his “Charles I’m in love with you.” It makes me ache and I feel violently ill every single time I hear it. For so many reasons. He sounds afraid, ashamed, heartbroken, and at the same time it sounds like it’s something that he’s always known despite just realizing it. It breaks my heart and makes me cry. I love Edwin.

I feel like we don’t talk about the fact that Edwin canonically knows how to knit nearly enough

Master Post - Gen's Top 100 DBDA Fics!

It is finally here! My personal top 100 DBDA fics!

My friends in the DBDA Haunt Discord server know that I am an avid fic reader. I read multiple hours every day and have read a very large chunk of all the DBDA fics out there (that are tagged Payneland). I constantly recommend fics in our fanfic channel and thought, "Well, why don't I make a huge rec list in recognition of how wonderful the fic writers of this fandom are?" And thus the idea for this list was born!

I have been working on this since the cancellation announcement almost 2 months ago. It has taken me that long to go back through my over 350+ DBDA bookmarks and select only the best of the best to be featured here.

Thank you to every fic writer in this fandom! You are all amazing and I love your work! Your creations are what keep the fandom alive and healthy!

Some caveats before we begin:

These fics are in alphabetical order by title.

I have a Payneland bias. All of these are Payneland fics. Maybe I will make a list sometime that has more ship variety, but for now, that is what is on the list.

I also have a very strong hurt/comfort & angst bias, so there will be a lot of that on here as well! But there are a few fluffy fics too!

There is no smut on this list. Sorry, smut just isn't my thing. There is exactly one fic rated E on here.

Not all tags are listed! I have selected the ones that I feel are the most important and in some cases added some that I felt were missing. But please read the full tag list on the fic itself!

I will be releasing 10 fics a day for 10 days, to make the posts more readable and to have some fun!

And now... THE LIST!

MONTY 🪶

[imakitastrophe]

honestly shoutout to Edwin "he is a boy and I am a boy, if anything he just enjoys ghosts" Payne for being so repressed that Monty being a ghost fucker was more probable to him then Monty being gay
