    Summary

    It’s been years since Gavin Reed put up a Christmas Tree. He says he decorated his desk because of ‘peer pressure’ , though Nines could see him turning on the lights of the little snow-man on his table. Changes are a brutal force of nature, this hermit man says he dislikes it. But he sure talks a lot, like how he says only kids likes Christmas lights.

    And yet, he’d find himself staring at the blue gleam on Nines’ temple.

    Summary

    The boy Charles rescued from Hell, so frail without his waistcoat and ridiculous britches, had been nearly unrecognizable as his best friend. Charles would do anything, compromise any dignity, to make sure Edwin never has to return to the pit.

    He just has to figure out how.

    Summary

    “Edwin?”, Crystal asks, and Edwin would say something snarky, maybe even something mean, but Charles is wrapped around him like he’ll never let go again, and there are more important matters at hand.
    “Crystal, what has happened here?”, he asks, and a few seconds later, their new psychic is standing in front of him, trousers splashed with the coffee she dropped, disbelief written across her face. “I was gone for a few hours and now Charles… and the whole building…”
    He’s not quite sure how to put it, most likely because he still doesn’t understand, and Crystal looks at him like he come back from the Cat King’s lair with an additional head.
    “Edwin”, she says, slowly, like she is still searching for the words, “what are you talking about? You’ve been gone for six weeks.”

    ____________

    Edwin takes the Cat King up on his initial offer, so instead of a few hours, he is gone for six weeks.
    Charles isn't good at coping with it.

    Summary

    Ghosts couldn’t sleep. Accordingly they also couldn’t have nightmares. They could, however, have traumatic flashbacks that left them shaking, as Edwin was discovering in the aftermath of his second stint in Hell. Maybe it shouldn’t have surprised him, but this time he’d only been down there for a single day, albeit it had certainly felt longer, as opposed to 70 years. So why was he cowering on the floor now, after an unexpected glimpse of a creepy doll, when before he’d been able to bear such a sight with a barely suppressed shudder?

    "Edwin? Edwin! Mate, what’s wrong?” The voice, wonderfully familiar and comforting, managed to penetrate the darkness Edwin felt trapped in. “Mate, please, talk to me!”
