    Summary

    So there Ed is, in this enormous room all decked out in ivory and gold, surrounded by one-percenters and inherited wealth and fucking caviar. And he sits under a canopy of twinkling crystals, and he plays his mood music, and the room slowly fills.

    And the bride and groom are nowhere to be seen.

    Ed’s starting to feel more and more like a member of the string quartet playing out the sinking of the fucking Titanic.

    (Or: Ed's the harpist at a swanky wedding that's gone south. Stede's got his own problems. A one-night fastburn meet-cute: fluff, humour, eventual smut, and a truly obscene description of caviar)

    Summary

    Stede's in his last year at McGill University, sailing the life course charted by his father––earn the management degree, marry the chosen girl, take over the family business.
    One night, a mutual friend introduces him to Ed, fellow student and lead singer of an up and coming band.
    Their whirlwind romance has Stede standing up to his family for the first time––but it's not enough.
    After a confrontation with his father, Stede is whisked away and locked up; his fairytale gone disastrously wrong.
    With an arranged marriage looming, Stede needs to be both the daring knight who rescues himself––and his enforced fiancée––and the prince who goes after his beloved. Except Ed's band has caught their big break and are touring in England. No matter the distance, Stede's determined to reach him.
    Can he do something this big on his own for the first time, without possessions, passport, or even a phone to let Ed know he's on his way––before he loses the trust and love of the best man he's ever met?

    Or,
    March 2002 in Montreal: Stede and Ed find love among the snowy streets, late night pubs, and mayhem of the annual Saint Patrick's Day parade––then try to find it all over again in deepest Yorkshire.

    Summary

    “Now you’re—” Stede babbles, going absolutely pinkish. “You’re laughing again!”

    Ed nods, still giggling. “I’m just—I’m sorry, it’s not because—”

    “Am I doing something wrong?”

    “Stede, darling,” Ed says, cupping Stede’s face. “Don’t be foolish. It’s because you’re doing something right.”

    Or: Stede’s never laughed during sex before. Hell, he’s barely even smiled. So when Edward can’t stop giggling during their first time, he’s not really sure what to think.

    Summary

    Stede is ready to 'get back out there' after his divorce, but he's more than a little bit intimidated by the concept of online dating. After a series of truly terrible first dates, he's close to giving up on love altogether. Perhaps he's too old for all this Grindr nonsense.

    And then, along comes a bartender called Edward Teach.
