Peculiar kids strike again

When you’re writing and you suddenly realise you DO know what happens next

You don't know. You just don't know how much I adore the DBDA fandom and its artists, the way the written word answers a piece of graphic fanart and vice-versa, the beautiful hivemind of creativity, the way the people appreciate each other so much they draw/paint/write stuff for each other, how much they support each other. I am constantly in awe of the number of talented people who make up the ranks of this fandom and how awesome they are.
And if you've ever made/drawn/crocheted/written/ something in this fandom and you're wondering if I'm talking about you? Hell yeah I am.
Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children AU!! Special thanks to my friends from Ghostwriters server for brainstorming it with me!
Bit of au lore (overexplained enough so that folks who don't know the books its based on can interact as well):
good morning soft sad freaks on an unprofitable website
Edwin escapes hell 2 years earlier and ends up hanging around St. Hilarions because he doesn't know where to go and what to do.
He ends up finding Charles a lot earlier as well and just kind of sticks around the energetic and kind boy.
Completely by accident, Charles manages to find out that there's a ghost that hanging out at the school and starts talking to Edwin (theres only so many times that the exact book he's looking for materializes out of nowhere before he gets suspicious). They become the strangest of friends, and Edwin is incredibly fond of him.
They spend two years getting to know one another by chalkboard and notes.
After one of the larger breaks, where Charles comes to school, wincing in pain and hiding bruises, Edwin starts to feel protective. Charles is his friend. His alive boy.
Edwin ends up following Charles home during one summer, and does his best to distract from any an all violence (he can't get too involved. That's how Lost and Found will get notified) but he can turn the power off in the house to distract Paul long enough for him to forget that he was about to hurt his own son.
He can knock on the front door. He can move objects so that Paul doesn't use them as weapons.
It's not much, but it's all he can do for now. (it's not until later, when Edwin learns magic that he realizes he could've done more)
Edwin doesn't manage to distract the boys from hurting Charles. He's in the library and doesn't even realize it's happening until it's too late (Charles is supposed to be safe at school, where Paul can't hurt him. But violent people are everywhere)
When Charles can see him, he knows it's too late. Still, he does his best to keep him company, prepares himself to say goodbye to his friend when Death comes to claim him.
It doesn't happen. Charles stays with him.
His dead boy.
My dad is such a piece of shit sometimes fr.
He noticed I'm downloading the anti ai software and had the fuckin audacity to say 'As if the Ai would actually want to train itself on your drawings' and then he basically said 'your artstyle isn't your own, you copied it entirely off of those cartoons you watch. It already exists, millions of people draw in the exact same way as you so you protecting your art won't change a thing'
One day I'm gonna murder him I swear the fuck is wrong with the guy
