Input in developing Edwin as a character and suggested changes Imagining a Valentine's ep and Charles' thoughts on the holiday

(You can do this one even if you've done it before!)
The Dead Boy Detectives anniversary month has started, and that means our anniversary event is now underway โจ
From now until the end of April, write fic, draw art, make gifs, curate moodboards, edit videos, or create anything else you can dream up!
When you're finished, just share your work with the tags #dead boy detectives and #a year at the agency, and we'll reblog anything sfw to spread the celebration! Our Ao3 collection for the event will be a_year_at_the_agency.
We can't wait to see what you create! ๐๐
I'm going to try and do one for every week. Wish me luck!

Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives
Pairings: Asha/Tragic Mick
Event: DBDA April Foolish Pairing Fest by @savethedeadboys
Warnings: none, but she is so into that walrus
Excerpt:
He's a handsome man, Mick is. Could use a little trimming around the whiskers, but she supposes there's some appeal to that, too. He's always struck her as the perfect fisherman for a tale of mermaids and sea monsters, with that grizzled, unkempt sort of look.
She's thought about painting him, once or twice โ wondered what he'd say if she showed him the finished canvas.
ASIDIAN!!! I've been obsessed with your work for like. a trillion years. was wondering if I could do a podfic on 'breathless' because I promise it was so PEAKKKKK. anyways love u 4eva. totes okay if no
Aaahh, thank you so much! I'm so glad you like my writing :> I would be absolutely delighted if you decided to podfic something I wrote. Please link me when you finish so I can give it a listen :>>

Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives
Characters: Crystal and Simon (Edwin's here too)
Event: DBDA April Foolish Pairing Fest by @savethedeadboys
Warnings: past bullying
Excerpt:
It looks like a regular hat.
Dark blue, a floppy sort of cap, maybe a bit old-fashioned, but it doesn't project weird lights or have an ominous aura or sprout legs and crawl across the floor or anything. Two years in, Crystal's been working at the agency long enough to know that a regular hat stashed away in the bag of tricks backpack is pretty fucking weird.
"What's with this one?" she says, and she bends down to pick it up, automatic.

Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives
Characters: Twitchy Richie and the Ghost Postman
Event: DBDA April Foolish Pairing Fest by @savethedeadboys
Warnings: silliness
Excerpt:
"It's fucking creepy, is what it is," says Richie, and he flicks his lighter again, on and off, on and off.
Maren licks at her lips. She glances to one side and then the other. "You don't think anyone. You know. Knows?"
"How the hell should I know?" says Richie, and he flicks the lighter again, flame burning to life and then gone. "All I know is they keep showing up."

Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives
Characters: Asha and Shelby Event: DBDA April Foolish Pairing Fest by @savethedeadboys
Warnings: implied future suicide
Excerpt:
The girl's a dark shape in the mist, like some sort of a wandering spirit, and the next time she comes Asha's way, Asha says, "Something the matter?"
The girl goes rigid, stiff through the shoulders, like she might just bolt. Asha's seen enough of that look: kids smuggling beer down to the shoreline for a cookout, or kids with their pockets full of things they don't want an adult to find, or kids a bit too cagey about cutting class.
"It's nothing," says the girl.
This April is the one year anniversary of Dead Boy Detectives, and to celebrate, we're holding a month-long prompt event! โจ
Starting April 1, there will be a new prompt every week through the end of the month. Write fic, draw art, make gifs, curate moodboards, edit videos, or anything else you can dream up!
When you're finished, just share your work with the tags #dead boy detectives and #a year at the agency, and we'll reblog anything sfw to spread the celebration!
Our Ao3 collection for the event will be a_year_at_the_agency.
We can't wait to see what you create! ๐๐
Want to jump in? Spin this picker wheel twice.
Whoever you land on is your pairing. But, here's the catch: if you get one of the main pairings for the fandom, you've got to respin! No Payneland, Palasaki, Catwin, Montwin, or Cryland for this event. It's rare and improbable pairings only.
We want to hear you convince us of the undying love between Angie and the Doll-Spider, or wax poetic about how the Night Nurse and the Ghost Postman are written in the stars. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Tag your posts with #foolish pairing fest and be sure to @ us. We'll reblog everything sfw to share the love! Our Ao3 collection for the event is DBDA_April_Foolish_Pairing_Fest ๐ Who did the wheel give you? Let us know in the comments!
I've decided I'm going to do this and play it 100% straight.
Whatever pairings I get, I'm coming up with for-real reasons for them to run into each other and interact, whether romantic or not (most of them are gonna be not) and doing a little vignette for them.
Aiming for one per day of the event.
Please look forward to Asha and Shelby, Twitchy Richie and the Ghost Postman, Crystal and Simon, and Asha and Tragic Mick.
Wish me luck, everyone (. โ แด โ.)
Okay, probably nobody but me cares about this, but I thought it was pretty neat, so I'm going to share it here.
One thing I love to do in my fics for DBDA is make up weird enchanted items and past cases and what-have-you and sometimes have them make recurring appearances. For an art commission, I've been compiling a list of items that have showed up in fics of mine.
So here it is: all the random or enchanted items from my fics.
(This was just a skim-through pass, so I've probably missed some.)
A little Dead Boy Detectives fandom fun is coming your way for April Fool's Day, March 29 - April 1 ๐๐
