Summary
“But when I was born,” Charles continues, “everyone thought I was a girl. My whole life, all anyone ever told me was that I was supposed to be a girl. But I knew I was a boy, no matter what anyone said.”
M-E T-O-O
“Yeah,” Charles laughs, “I guess we are kinda the same, aren’t we? You weren’t supposed to be a boy either.” He pauses, watching Monty nod before hesitantly asking, “Do you miss it? Being human?”
Monty hesitates, ruffling his feathers. Finally, he slowly dips his beak to the board.
YES
Charles hums, drumming his fingers on the desk. “Well, then why don’t we find a way to turn you back?”

When All My Friends Forget My Name (I Won't Go Back and Be the Same) by WhatsYourNameMan

Summary
But it gets him thinking about what he’d do, if he couldn’t say his own name, what he’d have people call him. He can’t say he’s all that fond of the idea; it’s far too similar to before he’d gone to St. Hil’s, when he’d had to pretend to be a girl and not tell anyone the name that was truly his.
And then he gets to thinking about Edwin, about how the two of them only ever call each other by their full names and surely he must have had a nickname at some point, so he just blurts it out.
"Did your mates ever call you Eddie?"

Summary
For a heartbeat, he hesitated. Then, the carefully constructed armor he had wrapped himself in shattered, exposing the raw emotion beneath. “I look at him,” Charles said, his voice trembling under the weight of his confession, “and I see myself.”
His gaze swept from Crystal to Edwin, desperation etched into every feature. “That boy is terrified,” he continued. “I don’t even think he knows what he’s scared of. Before we came along, the only person he’d ever known was Esther fucking Finch!”
The venom in his voice turned to a bitter snarl. “Familiars aren’t born, they’re created. They’re molded to serve their masters—to act as extensions of their will. We all heard how she talked to him back there!”
Charles’ eyes softened, though the pain lurking behind them remained. “Are we really going to hold him accountable for something ingrained in him? Something she stitched into his very nature? He betrayed us, yes, but - What choice did he really have? What would she have done to him if he hadn’t?”
Aka, a self-indulgent alternate ending of S1 ft. headcanoned backstory, ghostcrow end goal, and a projected hatred of Esther Finch

Summary
Payment from a client has the ability to allow Edwin and Charles to visually age a decade a day for a week. The time in between is altogether enlightening.
