    Summary

    Stede finds the house. When he comes back to their room at the inn, he won’t rest—won’t let Ed rest—until Ed’s seen it. His eyes are bright in that way that makes Ed’s guts feel scooped out with a spoon. So Ed hurries into his boots and goes with him.

    The once-white paint is stripped by weather and wear, a portion of the roof is caved in, and the spokes of the wraparound porch are all gnawed through by animals.

    Ed gazes up at the broken windows and the birds that have built nests there. At his side, Stede is waiting, rocking back and forth on his heels.

    "It’s perfect," says Ed.

    ***

    Or: Ed and Stede leave the island together, and they don’t look back.

    Summary

    Edward Teach has made quite a name for himself in Hollywood— directing, producing, cleaning up after Jack Rackham's messes— but he's lost some of the magic. When his friends Anne and Mary ask him to come to New York to produce their latest play, Ed finds a fast friend in Stede Bonnet, and maybe something more.

    A late 1970s AU inspired by Orville Peck's song of the same name.

    Summary

    Anthony J. Crowley is the best police officer in London. He is so talented that he makes his colleagues and superiors look like mere traffic wardens.
    Then the Fall strikes, and he finds himself transferred to Tadfield, in Wales, a town that has been voted ‘the best place to live’ for many years.
    Once there, Crowley is confronted with the disappearance of an accordion-playing duck, the theft of a garden gnome, a theatrical murder and, above all, the hostility of his new partner: Aziraphale Fell.

    Summary

    “You,” Ed starts to interrupt him, then stops, clearing his throat. His voice is almost— gritting, cracking in the middle. When he starts again, he’s stronger, but still— shaky. “You made me this? I mean— You made this? For me?”

    Stede’s not entirely sure what he means by that, but he has that little bubbling sensation he always gets when Ed is making him happy. It’s this simmering, glowing joy that always rises inside him, like it’s going to blow him up. He’s already smiling.

    “I did,” Stede says. Ed sits up properly beside him, and Stede nudges his shoulder, jostles him a bit. “I thought you could use something a little bit soft. Besides me, you know.”

    He’s expecting Ed to tease him in response, but instead, he doesn’t speak. He just keeps staring down at the blanket, clutched between his fingers.


    or: five times stede did things for ed, and one time ed did something for stede.
