    Summary

    Ed and Stede, close friends since meeting shortly after Stede’s divorce (5 years ago), are tired of looking for love. Stede’s convinced he’s not cut out for dating and relationships, even if it’s finally with men, and Ed has only ever had short-term relationships with no real love.

    On New Year’s Eve, the two make a drunken pact: THIS is the year they’ll find love. If by the end of the year they haven't fallen in love with someone, they’ll marry each other, just to finally have a partner. No cowering. They vow to help each other find their “Mr. Right.”

    But as the months go by, both start to wonder: has he been in front of me the whole time?

    Summary

    He stretches; the window is open, bringing with it the faintest rush of heady sea-air from the nearby, beloved ocean. The white and purple hyacinths that Stede picked yesterday wave slightly in the breeze from their vase on the window-sill, filling the room with the smell of something impossibly sweet, like a fruit tea or a perfect spring day that Ed might have experienced in his youth.

    Summary

    'Ed is lying boneless on his sofa.

    Well, not boneless, his bones are all still there, but they feel mushy, pulverized by the aching of his muscles.

    He’s lying on the sofa like a noodle, if noodles could feel stiff and mushy at the same time. Under and over cooked. That’s him.'

    Summary

    For OFMD Aro/Ace Week Day 7: Non-sexual intimacy / "This is...nice."

    Ed and Stede are friends.

    Very good friends, in fact. Such good friends that one wonders if there is a world where they aren’t friends.

    Ed and Stede would say there is not.

    This is a story of our two boys in a very loving and gentle queerplatonic relationship, inspired by Arnold Lobel’s Frog and Toad books.

    Summary

    It’s Stede’s fault.

    Ed only called him babe, and it was once, and besides which, Frenchie calls people babe all the time and he’s literally aro, so it doesn’t have to mean anything.

    But then Stede leans over and says, with a wink “Sweetheart, I’m going to hit the bar, would you like anything?”

    Sweetheart.

    It's definitely Stede's fault.

    Summary

    Lonely wildlife rescue volunteer Stede Bonnet spends his weekends wandering Western Australia's beautiful South Coast beaches looking out for birds in need of rescue. He gets more than he bargained for this weekend when he stumbles across an Antarctic emperor penguin that's ended up several thousand kilometres from home.

    His new friend (soon to be nemesis) needs more expert care than he can provide, but he's five hours from the city and clueless. Thankfully, the zoo's penguin expert Edward Teach answers his call and comes down to rescue them both, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    Edward Teach is the master woodworker on The Repair Shop, a show where people bring personal treasures that need some care and attention to get back to their former glory. He's been doing it for years, and he's bored. That is, until he is given a new project, a broken model ship owned by a man Ed's heart seems to recognise. While repairing the ship, he reforges a bond he didn't know existed.

    —--------------------------------------------------
    "Hello!" Ed started, hoping muscle memory would kick in. "Welcome to the Repair Shop. What have you brought in for us to look at?"
    Stede smiled, but Ed could see he was just as nervous as Ed felt. Stede stepped forward and lifted the sheet off the item Ed had been imagining for the last twenty-four hours. Ed gasped at the reveal. 'Model ship' didn't quite cover it.

    Summary

    “Where you putting yours?” Ed’s eyes are roaming over Stede as if he’s trying to guess where he might want his tattoo.

    Stede rolls up the billowy sleeve of his shirt to show off his right forearm. Oddly, Ed stares for a moment before nodding. “I want it to be where I can see it all the time. A reminder.”

    Ed nods again. “I get that. That’s what mine is for too. My dad just died….”

    “Mine, too,” Stede replies, sitting up eagerly. “I’m sorry for your loss,” he rushes to add since most people are sad about this sort of thing.

    “Nah, my dad was a dick,” Ed says. “Sorry for your loss, though.”

    “Um, my dad was a dick, too, actually,” Stede tells him, stifling a giggle. “I want some flowers. He always hated that I loved flowers, thought I was too ‘soft.’ But I’m taking his money and opening a florist stop, so I get the last laugh.”

    To Stede’s surprise, Ed looks excited. “A florist shop! Sounds amazing, mate! Good for you.”

     

    ~~~~~

    Stede Bonnet's life changes the moment Ed Teach walks into the tattoo shop he's sitting in. They bond over their terrible dead fathers, become friends, get tattoos, go to the Ren Faire, and fall in love along the way.

    Summary

    “Hey,” his angel said, then, very softly, and Ed realized that the fact he was standing near the edge of a high-rise building in the middle of the night probably communicated his intentions perfectly clearly.
    “Hi,” Ed said, because he wasn’t really sure what else to say. What can you even say to someone when it feels like they've just shown up to save your life?

    Ed has made the decision that his life isn't going to be getting better. When a stranger in his apartment accidentally stumbles in and helps to stop him from doing something irreversible, though, Ed realizes he doesn't want to die at all. Somehow, the sun has started to shine again.

    Summary

    “So, you’ve seen the Stede Bonnet shit,” Jack says, plunking down his tankard and straddling the stool.

    “See, you all keep saying ‘shit’. That’s so vague. Be specific for fuck’s sake,” Edward says, locks his phone and tosses it on the table in front of him.

    “This pompous little amateur had the nerve to ask for a review on his new podcast,” Izzy spits the word like that’s not what they’re doing.
