When the waves turn minutes to hours

Chapters: 1/1 (1519 words) by megs_bee Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives (TV) Relationships: Cat King/Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne Tags: Shipwrecks, Folklore, Ghosts, Song: The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Gordon Lightfoot), Referenced - Freeform, Cat King is Called Thomas (Dead Boy Detectives), Catwin Discord Event, Zine: Catwin Cultural Exchange

Summary: Thomas preens under the attention while pretending to be unaffected, but the way he cuddles up right into Edwin’s space rather gives the game away. “So, what’s the case, my favourite ghost detective.”

“A fairly straightforward one. Simply returning a trinket to a loved one.” Edwin slips the silver locket out of his coat, holding it for Thomas to see. It’s a pretty piece, not overly expensive but with beautiful engraving across the front, and a lock of hair tucked inside. “Our client lost her sweetheart to a shipwreck here, and this was the last gift he gave her."

Edwin Payne is disillusioned by soulmates. In fact, he's made a lucrative career of writing romance novels about non-soulmate couples. But during a bachelor(ette) trip, he does the unthinkable — he wakes up married in Vegas.

When Thomas, Edwin’s now-husband, reveals that they are soulmates, Edwin feels deceived. In a world in which your soulmate’s first words to you appear on your skin in their handwriting on your sixteenth birthday, soulmate divorces are taboo and difficult to obtain, at least without jumping through bureaucratic hoops.

Vegas dinner-theatre-performer Thomas King's heart has been broken more times than he can count, but with his unique soul words, he's always held out hope that he'd find his perfect match one day. So when Edwin says those magic words and asks to marry him in the same night, he gets swept up in the moment.

What he doesn't expect is Edwin being clueless — and furious — about their bond.

Faced with a court-ordered marriage trial and more sexual tension than either of them know what to do with, will Edwin and Thomas be able to kindle their supposedly-fated romance organically? Or is their simmering connection ultimately destined to go down in flames?
