Summary
Edwin knows nobody will come for him.
It’s maybe the worst part of being down here again. Hell had been an unending torment for seventy years, and then he’d been free, and now he’s here again, and he knows somewhere deeper than logic that he doesn’t have the strength to pull himself out a second time. And nobody will come for him.
He whispers it to himself, huddled into the corner, arms wrapped around his legs. He speaks for the doubtful comfort of hearing his own voice, in between the moments where his personal torturer gives chase, and he is forced to run even though he knows he’ll never get away. Nobody’s coming for you. He’s not coming for you. You’re alone. You’re as alone down here as you were back on Earth. You have nobody to blame but yourself. You. Are. Alone.
He’s never going to see Charles again.

Summary
"We offer up," Charles reads, "this virgin sacrifice." He catches Edwin's gaze. "Only technically true. If we're looking for a technicality..."
"Charles," says Edwin, his eyes enormous.
"I know. If it gets you out, though, if there's even a chance—"
Charles and Edwin have sex in Hell. It solves all their problems and gives them everything they ever wanted.

Summary
"You thought that our relationship was just, what, physical?" Charles manages, understanding beginning to dawn and horror along with it. "That I was using you to fuckin' satisfy myself until I could find someone I liked better?"
Edwin shifts, kneading his fists together and avoiding Charles' gaze.
"You make it sound as though it is such a terrible thing, Charles," he says stiffly yet with a distinct sincerity. "It is not. That I could provide any comfort to you at all is something I am deeply grateful for. I do not and have never required you to love me in the-in the way I love you."
He meets Charles' eyes again, so terribly determined and kind. It makes Charles want to scream and hit something.
----
Or Edwin has been under the impression that his place as Charles' sexual/romantic partner is temporary. Charles disagrees.

Summary
While de-cluttering their office, the boys come across Edwin's first notebook, from Hell.

I do not own Dead Boy Detectives or its characters, all rights go to Steve Yockey, DC Comics and Netflix. I am not making any money from this fic.Title from 'Routines In The Night' by twenty one pilots.
Sequel to 'just a glimpse of visual aid of you on the other shoreline' but can be read as standalone.
