Summary
"King's quite a piece of work, isn't he?" Charles tilted his head. "Got some reputation."
"What kind of reputation?" Edwin asked because he wanted to learn more about Thomas, but also because he was a nosy bitch.
"He's a player," Crystal's voice was non-judgemental, a little bored, even. "He keeps flirting with everybody. I think David said once that King is sex-obsessed freak, doesn't talk about anything else-"
"That's not true!" Niko protested heartily. "And anyway, do you really believe the words of your ex-boyfriend?"

The Two-Body Problem by GhostsAndMonsters for QueerFanLoverboy
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
09 Jun 2026

Summary
Their visitor stood before them. She was painfully thin – so much so that her cheekbones stretched her skin into sharp, severe lines, and her cheeks were deeply sunken. Her hair was pulled back into an unexpectedly voluminous bun, secured with two old-fashioned hairpins. She wore a strict brown dress of wool gabardine, its high collar fastened tight with metal hooks. A ghost.
The woman returned their scrutiny, clearly disapproving of what she saw. Her gaze was methodical, like someone used to taking inventory. Her dark eyes – slightly too large, bulging just a fraction from their sockets – lingered on Edwin, drifted to Charles, and then snapped back to Edwin.
"The Dead Boy Detective Agency?" she inquired.
"That's us," Charles said. "Take a seat."
The client nodded, as if ticking a box on a long internal checklist, and gingerly perched on the edge of the chair. Her fingers laced together in her lap, her knuckles protruding sharply beneath the papery skin.
Charles perched on the corner of the desk while Edwin took his seat.
For a few seconds, the guest remained silent. Edwin clasped his hands on the desk – his universal gesture for 'I am listening'.

half the wishes, double the trouble: a pop idol vanessa mystery by ObsessedWithFandom
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
06 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
It was just… Pop Idol Vanessa Mystery never got to have its own live action movie or series, even though the fans had been begging for it for years. (Well. There was one adaptation. The movie that made the main four act like sisters, and gave Vanessa some random boyfriend. It Was Not To Be Spoken Of.) Niko had always wanted to see her childhood crushes on the big screen, saying all the brave things she could only dream of.
So when the genie asked, in a deep, portentous voice, “What is your greatest wish?”, Niko (very understandably) said, “I want my favorite manga to come to life!”Or: A genie takes a wish too literally. Everyone deals with the consequences.

I wish that you would stay (in my memories) by Hse11z5
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
04 Jun 2026

Summary
Niko was gone (had been gone, continued to be gone) for over nine months. Charles was there, but he was not. He was always with Crystal now, and never meeting Edwin's gaze. And Edwin was so alone he couldn't stand it.
"Edwin's hands stilled and his eyes focused on a spell entitled To conjure a shadow version of one who is lost. The warnings were longer than the spell. He had read no more than three lines before Edwin knew he was not using this spell to bring back Niko. The warnings explicitly stated that this shadow version was not linked to the person you had lost. It was an entirely new being, created from the spell caster and their memories of the missing person. Edwin would not attempt to build a new version of Niko. There was no way he could ever recreate her smile, her laugh, the things only she would say. He could never be what she was. He would not insult her memory by trying.
But he was not thinking about Niko.
All he could picture was Charles.
He knew, in every logical part of himself, that it would not be real. But it might be enough."
