Summary
"What was coming, he still couldn’t mark beyond the word “trouble” lit up in gold when it came rolling in over the east field that late May before the first licks of the summer he turned 19.
Trouble rolling over the hill and right up to Ed.
Trouble pulling his stetson, loose around his ears like it wasn’t quite fit to him, from his head, down to his chest. Trouble tilting his head to Ed, like Ed was a fine lady, like Ed was anything but a ranch hand perched on a borrowed horse. Trouble asking, soft and sturdy as fresh wheat bread, 'how do you do'?"This is about a lot of things but this is primarily about how one man can hear one Orville Peck song and turn it into 46k words with absolutely no restraint.

Summary
Salvage diver Ed Teach is no stranger to the story of Blackbeard and the Queen Anne's Revenge- after all, the famous pirate is a distant ancestor. But then Professor Stede Bonnet, maritime archaeologist and many-times-great-grandson of the original, waltzes through the door of his shop and requests his services in finding the wreck. What are the odds?
Ed's had enough of the cutthroat world of salvage diving, and he's this close to leaving it all behind. But Bonnet's quest sparks an interest he hasn't felt in years, and he agrees to help the oddly charming man. Nothing to do with the fact that the Queen Anne might just be the last treasure trove Ed needs to escape his life. Definitely nothing to do with the way Bonnet's cheerful enthusiasm makes his heart skip a beat.
Together they'll hunt for the wreck... and then they'll reckon with what comes next.

Summary
Professional thief Edward Teach is tired of hole in the wall apartments, shitty pub food, and skipping town every few months to keep the cops off their tail. He’s well past the age he meant to flee the country and retire, and all he needs is One Last Job to set him up for life. When he hears that some rich bastard outside of town has just the sort of treasure he’d trade his good knee for, Ed sets out in disguise to get the lay of the land.
What he gets instead is a case of mistaken identity. Yanked into Stede Bonnet’s multimillion dollar home and greeted with relief instead of fear, Ed suddenly finds himself entrusted with the care of the recently-separated Bonnet’s two children. And he’s not hating it. Not at all.
But there’s still a mysterious treasure to find. There’s still Izzy Hands, breathing down Edward’s neck about finding the money and moving on. And there’s still Stede Bonnet, with his easy smiles and soft, kind voice, and his silly talk of second chances.
The Bonnet house is enormous. It’s no wonder a kid who grew up in dingy squats and group homes would get little lost in it.

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.

Summary
The British aren’t too happy about the contract being broken on the Act of Grace and this time Stede Bonnet gets to be the one coming to the rescue.
“Stede,” Ed says and then buries his head in Stede’s neck, his chin bristly against the soft skin. “This is real yeah? I’m not fucking dead or something?”
“No one’s dead,” Stede says firmly, petting his head. “Though that does remind me we are in a certain amount of peril right now.”
“Oh fuck, right,” Ed says, looking up. “So this is a rescue then?”
“Well, yes,” Stede says, trying not to feel offended. “Did you think it was a conjugal visit?”
Ed shrugs.

Summary
Asgard is not a place, it is a people, Thor had said of their lost home, over the course of their voyage.
And when Loki, eyes red-rimmed and dark, haunted by shadows for far too long, said, “Home? Perhaps I never had one,” Thor can make only one assurance that soothes the tumult in his brother’s heart: Home is not a place, but a person.
That person could be me.

Summary
I will admit; my curiosity about the young man’s disfigurement, and the easy, close intimacy he and Hux shared only rose as we went on. Eventually, Ben dozed, pressed still against Hux’s side; his clever dark brown eyes fell shut, and a calm settled upon his long, drawn face. The tea was gone; Hux paused suddenly, mid-sentence into an anecdote of an ill-conceived winter swim in the Yenisei, and looked at me, considering.
“You would like to know, would you not, how it came to be? I do not think he will begrudge me the telling.”

Loki’s mouth twitches. “Also, it's the funniest thing that's ever happened to me.”
