Summary
Everyone has bad days... and the boys of One Direction are no exception. Being on tour for weeks in a row, straight, thousands of miles away from one's home, can leave anyone feeling homesick, including the boys. So yes, the boys are prone to have bad days.
But when they reach their breaking point on tour, what will they do? Is it really all worth it in the end?
It's on days like these when they need to be reminded most where they belong, and that they're never alone.
Cue in Niall Horan, Irish Leprechaun and carefree band mate extraordinaire, who notices his bandmates' plight and wants to do something about it... How can he prove to his four brothers that they're never alone? That it really is worth it in the end?
Well, he tries to fix the problem by doing what he does best naturally- he writes a song for them.
It was during this particular time (out of countless many) that Niall who reminded them who they were, and where they belonged- even on the best and worst of days. He loved them so much, and wanted to remind them where exactly they were grounded, so he put the proof into a song.
Literally.This is the story of how he did so.

Summary
“The only solution I can think of right now is to sqwoosh.” Edwin held his breath sat the end of that sentence, cringing as he watched Charles go through the five stages of grief.
Or,
In the comics, Charles gets travel-sickness from teleporting, and I couldn't get this idea out of my head. It's not anything deep, just a quick little fic about the dead boys being cute.

Summary
The first thing he did when he got out of hell was to go look for a piece of paper.
He wasn't thinking about his notebook at the time, didn't even remember it. Any paper would've done, he just wanted to write it all down while it was still fresh.Edwin has had his notebook for longer than thirty years. At this point it was more than just a convenient place for his meticulous notes, it was a symbol of sorts, a link to his past, an object that gave him confidence, and his if-worst-comes-to-worst ticket out of hell.

Summary
"So let me get this straight," said Crystal. "This guy dies and gets selective amnesia, but just about the identity of the person he murdered?"
"Well, he also forgot when or where or why it happened," provided Charles.
"But he remembers everything else! His name, family, how he died himself. That's weird, that's not how it works."
"And what exactly qualifies you to decide how it works?" tossed Edwin from his place, pacing around the office. "You get amnesia one time and it turns you into an expert?"
or: an amnesiac murderer knocks on the office door seeking to find the person he killed. charles, edwin and crystal find that the case is hitting them a little too close to home.

Summary
The only thought running through his head had been the overwhelming need to protect Edwin, to keep them from being ripped apart. The thought of Edwin having to relive the torture of hell while the night nurse poked around in his head, had entirely pushed him over the edge, only coming back to himself, after he had fed the woman to the sea monster. Heaving, Charles turned towards Edwin, barely registering the other two. He only had eyes for his best mate, needing desperately to make sure he was still with him.
There he was, whole and simply there, he sacked with relief. Only to feel something break inside when he saw Niko and Crystals take a collective step back, eying him with trepidation and something bordering on fear, pale and speechless. But before he could spiral and let loose all the words suddenly burning like acid in his throat, Edwin was running towards him, almost throwing himself at him. Capturing him in an all-encompassing hug, desperate and all too relieved. “Charles, Charles…”
Right after Charles feeds the Night Nurse to Angie, Edwin is there for his partner.
