Bookmarker's Notes
One of the best slow burn romances I've read; AU arranged marriage b/t Stede & Ed -- slowly and lovingly building trust and camaraderie between each other; both are goners for the other

Summary
“What kind of leather is this, then?” Ed asks, genuinely curious, holding up a beautiful gray pelt.
Stede barely restrains himself, barely keeps from lunging across the room to yank the sealskin out of Ed’s hands.

Summary
Sailors call them watermarks. A gift from the sea, a name or symbol written on your chest, meant to guide you to your own true love.
But Stede Bonnet's mark doesn't look like anything at all. Not really. And it certainly doesn't look like 'Edward' or 'Teach' or 'Blackbeard' or a black beard and that's fine. Completely fine.
Ed's absolutely fine with it.

Summary
The moment was good, happy, painted yellows and oranges and deep earthy browns. Camaraderie, connection. Then, Lucius’ voice once more, 'that bizarre little man over there likes you very much'. Ed turned his head to look at Stede properly as he took a neat little sip from his glass. He wanted to say it, say something. But had they just said all that was needed? Was he ruining a nice moment by blundering through his own thoughts and feelings, clumsy and ruinous while he tried in vain for earnest?
Just say it.
Just say something.
You’re sat here with your mouth hanging open like a fucking fool, staring at the man. Most likely, he thinks your brain is addled at this point. Say something, say what’s on your goddamn mind already.

Summary
“Mm, knew it,” Ed said quietly, rubbing his face gently against the fabric of Stede’s nightshirt.
“What’s that?” Stede asked, holding himself so very still, as if moving too much or too fast would frighten off the fearsome pirate who had chosen Stede’s bed to curl up in, which would be a tragedy. The warmth and weight of the other man surrounding him immediately came as a great comfort, and he did not want to part with it so soon.
“Huh?” Ed voiced in return, as if he’d been unaware he had just spoken aloud, “Oh, just that your bunk would be soft and warm. And that you’d smell nice.”
-
It's late one night when Ed clambers into Stede's bunk, and who is Stede to turn away the most fearsome pirate captain (not that the thought crossed his mind even once)

Summary
"Right, well," Jaskier says, when he halts before Geralt. Up close, he looks much more nervous. There is sweat on his brow and his collar is damp with it, and his teeth keep catching on his lower lip. "True love's kiss. There's—ah—there's nothing to it." And he bends, the utter imbecile, and kisses Geralt full on the mouth.

Summary
Richie and Eddie bust ghosts, pine hopelessly, and get tangled up in the winding red thread of fate:
The sun is perfect when they finally start filming, just low enough to cast everything in a golden sort of light that almost makes the building look beautiful. Eddie steadies the tripod and gives the thumbs up and then they’re away and Richie has his game face on.
“This is your faithful host speaking, your courageous convoy to all that is chilling and creepy, Richie Trashmouth Tozier.” Richie says, tone deadly serious. “Tonight, we venture beyond the veil, mystery lovers, to a place so disturbing and terrifying my co-host Eddie has refused to venture inside.”
“This is mis-representation.” Eddie protests from behind the camera. “I’m not scared of ghosts, but I draw the line at bacterial infection.”

Summary
“The Angel of the Eastern Gate.” Crawly grins. “What’s your name, anyway? You never said.”
“Oh...” Apologies, Aziraphael almost says, but then he doesn’t. That would be taking things a bit too far. This is still the Enemy. “Aziraphael.”
“Aziraphael,” repeats Crawly—or tries to, because halfway through the word he chokes. Quite badly.
Or: What if Aziraphale’s name was originally "Aziraphael", in keeping with the conventional spelling and pronunciation of angel names, but because of its divine nature Crowley is physically unable to say it out loud.- Language:

Summary
There was a certain look that Aziraphale wore occasionally—a pinched sort of moue that looked like he’d just taken a very large mouthful of cinnamon—which meant he thought Crowley was being ridiculous. He had put it on.
“Hang on,” he had said. “You want us to do human things?”

If you're going to go native, you might as well go all the way.

Summary
In their cottage in the South Downs, when Crowley eventually succeeds in getting Aziraphale to use a laptop, it takes Aziraphale literal hours to get past the default Windows screensavers of picturesque locations because 'oh, look, isn't it lovely, Crowley!'

5 times Crowley knows he’s in love with Aziraphale + 1 time he knows the reverse.
