Summary
Ed's boring call to his insurance company leads to him falling head over heels for a recorded voice that's part of the hold music.
Maybe he's not doing so great, and it took a kind stranger doing a fun bit to make him see that. Or, maybe he and Hold Guy were always destined to be together.
All he has to do now is find him...

Summary
Edward Teach had been a respected pilot for Pan Am for a decade before his world came crashing down. Now he's only got one flight left to complete: a return home from the United States to Aotearoa as First Radio Officer, flying with new Pacific Clipper captain Stede Bonnet.
But after they depart from Hawai'i in 1941, the war smashes all chance of Stede and the crew returning the way they came. Now in possession of a valuable aircraft as the conflict escalates, there's only one insane option left to complete their journey: a round-the-world circumnavigation flying the opposite way, hopping between continents and battle zones as they race to find their way back.
In the process, Stede and Ed will find their way to each other, too.

Stede Bonnet is twelve the first summer his father leaves him alone in an old holiday shack in a tiny Australian seaside town called Cloudburst. His only company over years of solitary vacations is the hint of another boy who stays in the same house in the winter season, and the art Stede begins to draw, inspired.

But someone else has just bought the old holiday shack and moved in there. Someone who collides with Ed in the waves one morning, and brings the past crashing back into the present.
Someone Ed already knows, but has never met before...

Summary
Round-the-world yachting champion Edward Teach has seen it all, done it all… and he’s had enough. When he falls overboard racing through the Roaring Forties, he’s ready for the end.
Instead, he’s saved by the most unusual vessel he’s ever seen, and the most intriguing man he’s ever met.
Stede Bonnet was cursed to captain the submarine Revenge hundreds of years ago, never ageing a day since. He and his crew live a happy enough life beneath the waves until he saves Ed — a person who turns his life upside down.
Together they set off on an amazing journey in search of the one mysterious place that can break the curse. On their way, they might just find the greatest treasure of all — love.

Stede and Ed are not having sex.
To the uninformed, the things they do together may strongly resemble sex, but Stede knows better.
This is just mutual stress relief between two professional, platonic, regular, normal co-captains.
