Summary
City boy Ed Teach is tired of his life in New York and needs an escape. He drives up to his mother's house in small-town Bennet Bay, Maine, on a whim, hoping some time away from the city will help him clear his head. The last thing he expects to find there is the love of his life in Stede Bonnet, the proprietor of a popular cafe/bookstore nestled in the town's charming main street. But will Ed be brave enough to embrace small-town life and settle down with Stede? Or will the siren call of his life back in the city be too strong to resist?

Summary
Ed sighs and closes his eyes, lets his head thunk gently against the wall of the window seat he’s currently sprawled out in, naked and sweaty as he tries to catch his breath from the crippling orgasm Stede just fucked out of him. Stede’s leaning against the opposite wall, panting lightly as he works to regulate his own breathing. If Ed opened his eyes he’d see a smug little smile on Stede’s handsome face that’s as endearing as it is well-deserved.
~~ Or the one where Ed and Stede have a window seat they love as much as they love each other.

Summary
“Come help me find an apothecary nearby,” Ed calls to Lamp, who’s still laying in front of the door. Ed pulls up the Conjure browser on his phone and searches for apothecaries in his area. There are a dozen or so results that pop up by the time Lamp has reluctantly left his post by the front door and flopped down next to Ed on the couch, pushing his head under Ed’s arm so he can look at the search results.
One of them jumps out immediately: “Stede’s Stupendous Shop of Spellcasting Sundries,” Ed reads aloud. What the fuck is that name? It’s fascinating and hilarious. Ed needs to go there immediately. He looks up reviews for the shop, and they’re either 5 stars or 1 star, nothing in between. He checks one of the 1-star reviews — left by someone supposedly named Calico Jack, which is a weird name — and it starts with, “There’s this angry chicken, right,” and Ed stops reading there because that sounds like the coolest fucking thing he’s ever heard, and he wants to experience it for himself.
~
Stede's a lonely apothecary owner looking for love. Ed's a jaded potions master looking for his place in the world. This is how they find what they're looking for in each other. -

Ed sighed. No one ever remembered his birthday anymore. June 21st. The wooden floorboards creaked under his feet. He stepped out of his cabin.

Summary
"So this is what my boss meant when she said we must have so much in common," Joe says.
"Yeah, probably," Nicky sighs. "It's...I just remember back when I was in school and there was only one other boy in my year who'd come out—"
"—and everyone assumed that of course you must be into each other," Joe agrees ruefully. "Because you were the two gay kids."
The one where Nicky and Joe make a pact not to sleep together and fuck up the friendship. So, you know, that works out well.

In which Nicky joins a queer football club, makes some new friends, and offers to help Joe piss off his ex by pretending to be his new boyfriend. This is a very reasonable scheme that will definitely not lead to any feelings whatsoever.

Summary
Andromache tells him: "The Greeks used to have seven different words for love. Well. More, probably. But I remember seven." She shrugs. "There are many ways to love one another, and life is long. We've time enough for them all. It's the only thing that makes it worthwhile."
Nicky and his immortal family, over the centuries.

Summary
“Does it-” He clears his throat. “Does it hurt?”
“Not really,” Andy says, glancing up, a bemused little smile taking over her face. “The venom has analgesic properties. Why?”
Joe looks away, fidgeting, idly rubbing his wrist. “Just curious.”
She fixes him with a knowing look.
In which Joe signs up as a donor for his local community vampires, meets Nicky, and ends up signed up for a whole lot more.

Summary
When Joe moved into the empty building across the street from Andy's tattoo studio, Nicky wasn't happy. He told Andy so, loudly, in the middle of the street, when Joe was right behind him. So Joe plants flowers Nicky's allergic to in the planters outside the studio. Nicky graffities the back door of Joe's building. Etc. Both frequent Booker's bakery, but never at the same time. They're constantly competing at the yearly charity bake sales over who has the best baklava. Eight years later, they're still not on speaking terms.
Then Joe hires Nile, an art student at the local university, as a part-time assistant, and Quynh quits her job as a photographer for National Geographic and comes back, and Andy and Quynh start planning a wedding, and Joe and Nicky are going to have to speak to each other.
