Esther Finch & Charles Rowland | Dead Boy Detectives 1.08
How the last month has been for me gang
just been rotating Montie in my head edit style
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne & Charles Rowland Characters: Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne, Edwin Payne’s Father, Simon (Dead Boy Detectives) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Royalty, Prince Edwin Payne, Knight Charles Rowland, Protective Charles Rowland, POV Edwin Payne, Pre-Relationship, Bullying, no beta we die like cancelled netflix shows Series: Part 1 of DBDA Royalty AU
Summary:
“Wait, Father,” Edwin interrupts. “You mustn’t dismiss him. I’ve made my choice regarding my Royal Protector.”
“You cannot mean—”
“I do. I wish to name Charles Rowland as my Royal Protector,” Edwin declares, in as princely a voice he has.
not insinuating it's going to happen but it would be very cool if in dead boy detectives we ended up with the core 4 being two same sex couples. like I don't think I've ever seen that happen and it's very very frequent for the core 4 mains in shows to be two straight couples, or like for the core group to be a trio in which 2 of them are a straight couple, and for the third person to be in a relationship with a secondary character. but i really don't think I've ever seen a show with 4 main characters being 2 same sex couples and also just a great friend group (heartstopper kinda has something similar since the main cast is all a big queer friend group and it is absolutely beautiful and lovely but they are two very different kinds of stories), and i actually think it would be groundbreaking and amazing
Does that look blue to you, Charles?"

Thoughts on Edwin's two-part realization that he was in love with Charles ~
It seemed to me that Edwin found the Cat King physically attractive but emotionally/socially unattractive. The little shape-shifting trick he pulled led Edwin to realize that he found Charles physically attractive as well.
Monty he found emotionally/socially attractive but was not interested in him physically, at least not to the extent he felt toward the Cat King or Charles. It is Monty, who Edwin enjoyed spending time with, who pointed out that his jumbled up feelings were his love for Charles.
I think it's interesting (and really well done character development/writing) that it was only after Edwin experienced/understood both aspects of attraction that he realized he was in love with Charles. The Cat King and Monty were literally together with him in the scene where he has this realization.
Without the Cat King, he wouldn't have realized he found Charles attractive. Without Monty he wouldn't have realized that his friendship with Charles could also be romantic. I just thought it was well done!
In the Garden
I WROTE A NEW FIC, GUYS!
There’s a garden behind St. Hilarion’s. It’s Charles’ favorite place to be. ... There are bones in the garden.

Made way too many posts about jealous Charles so here is Charles actually smiling for a change
Part two of the reverse verse is here! The reverse boys meet the original boys. They're not really getting along as well as I had hoped...
Again, this was a commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are and they asked for angst/funny vibes... I think it's mostly just angst though. Oh, well...
Part one
I wonder how much this scene plays a role in Monty choosing to target Edwin over Charles after Esther sends him to befriend the boys and then later how it impacts him falling for Edwin.
Edwin is the first one to enter so he’s the first one Monty sees.
Monty doesn’t crow when Edwin enters the house but waits until Charles enters. Does he already like Edwin better? Did he see Edwin and see something special?
Charles immediately responds to the crowing by telling him to hush. Did Charles’s words stick with him after Esther gave him a human body and mind and feelings? Were his feelings hurt or was he just annoyed by it?
Edwin pulls his gloves off as he passes Monty’s cage, does he think about that after becoming human? The way Edwin takes off a piece of his armor right before going into danger?
After Edwin tell his partner he believes in Charles’s ability to open the lock, Monty crows, and Charles sasses back. Edwin pays him no mind. Does that frustrate him, later when he’s human?
After Charles opens the lock, Edwin is the one who figures out that cabinet is a trick door.
I may not like Esther but she is clever. Was Monty learning from her the entire time he was her familiar? Does he take after her in that way? Always learning, always being wanting to be clever?
Monty, is shown soon after becoming human, to have a vast knowledge of zodiac signs. Did he learn all that in that short time span or was some of it things he’s taken in from Esther over the years? How much had he learned from her, from her spells, her books over the years?
Was he “raised” to appreciate cleverness even as a crow? Did he admire Edwin’s cleverness from the beginning?
Did he become human and immediately think back to when they first entered the house and wonder if Edwin would appreciate cleverness in return? Would appreciate the opportunity to learn something new from him? Hoped that they could be clever together?
There’s just so much to this scene from Monty’s perspective that I think we should consider.
Did he ever wonder if he was clever enough, would it be enough for Edwin to give him a chance?
Like he said, he never asked to be human… did he hope that, when the time came, with all his cleverness, that Edwin would understand that?
That he had never really had a chance in the first place?

"ORPHEUS: Dear Eurydice, I miss you.
No—that's not enough."
- Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl
"Permission to attack, Edwin?"
...
"Permission granted, Charles..."
i've seen some people get surprised at how passive-aggressive and petty Monty got at some points, expecting that he'd always be all cute and sweet, but honestly, did we watch the same crow?? even before becoming human, Monty had a MOUTH on him. in practically every scene, that crow was SHRIEKING
being given the ability to form actual words was probably that bitchy bird's dream come true
