Dead Boy Detectives Hunger Games Victor AU!
Here y'all go: a Dead Boy Detectives Victor AU ft. Edwin, Charles, Crystal, and Monty as Victors from different Hunger Games with an exploration of all of the traumatic fallout and complications that would come from that.
Monty gets up on the interview stage and it doesn’t matter what the other tributes have to say, because Monty tells Caesar Flickerman that the boy he fell in love with is the very Mentor trying to save him from the Arena.
It’s a dangerous move, but it just might save Monty’s life in the Arena and his body post-Arena. It might just keep him out of the same deal that Esther made for Edwin.
A familiar hand touches Edwin’s wrist backstage. Charles’ hands gently pry Edwin’s fingernails away from the bloody crescents they are carving into his palms.
“It was the only way I could protect him,” Edwin says, trying to plead with Charles to understand, because Edwin has to do anything he can to protect just one of his tributes.
Charles gives him a small, sympathetic smile. “You could’ve told me.”
But Edwin twists his wrist slightly so that Charles isn’t touching him, because he knows where this is going even if Charles does not. He knows whose life lays on the line if this plan fails, and it’s not just Monty’s.
(Years ago, the President made Edwin kneel and told him that Charles’ life was forfeit if Edwin ever disobeyed. And he won't risk that, even if it means breaking both of their hearts.)
Here's the link for y'all!
Also a playlist for those interested!

Charles: I love Edwin so much, just sadly not romantically 😔
Edwin: I'm a little sad about that, but ultimately I'm just super glad we're still best friends! 😊
Monty: *pines in Edwin's general direction* 🥺
Cat King: *yearns in Edwin's general direction *😏
Edwin: 😳😳😳
Charles: 😠😠😠

besties hate to break it to you but there WILL be a severely angsty Dead Boy Detectives Hunger Games Victor!AU dropping on ao3 some time before I go to sleep tonight, ft. Edwin, Charles, Crystal, and Monty as the Victors of different hunger games and all of the trauma that falls out of that, including characters having to make the absolute worst decisions of their lives. It will make you want to scream. Blame @anything-thats-rock-and-roll and @magpiemarten for instigating me and getting me back to writing yet another Victor AU for yet another fandom!

Dead Boy Detectives Ship Names
This is where I'm at ship-wise. Any suggestions? Any more rare pairs I'm missing? Better ship name suggestions?
Edit: I've been informed its "Payneland" not "Paynland"

honest wheee ✨ to monty for that mid-swing 45° angle kiss diving right into the pretty thing (edwin) like it's his second crow nature. it could only be pulled off by a magical boy. i'm pretty sure a regular human would bonk their crush's head hard and fall off and roll over in the dirt and leaves but this was smooth as hell no pun intended

Not a big fan of fictional sexual/romantic relationship that "involved more than two people" until these four showed up in my fangurl life
Sadly there's no M/M/M/M fic of them yet and not even 3some fic of Cat King x Edwin x Charles, unbelievable. Besides, I can't read many Catwin's fic because I can't stand the scenario, the universe where Edwin and Charles stay friends for the rest of their death. The things you have to accept when you decided to live on both ships I guess.
P/s: I think I haven't passed by any fanart of Edwin's harem either and that's just sad :(

sometimes a polycule is just two ghost boys, a witch's crow familiar turned human, a royal catboy, the psychic girl one of the ghosts also dates and her fujoshi gf who was possessed by sassy tiny spirits
