Summary
He ducks under the ridge of the skull, unclips his bow, slips an arrow into the housing, and creeps around until he has a decent view of the trail. The stranger has slowed, staring up at the leviathan as they approach, hands on their hips. Ed steps out into view, raises his bow, and pauses.
The stranger, as unknown as he currently is, is cute.
Hylian, most likely. A little shorter than Ed, but broad looking under his tunic and cloak, pack sticking up over the top of his head, and visibly stuffed with god-knows-what. There’s a physical map sticking out from one of his pockets, and leaves in his hair, and he’s clearly not been gifted with powers of observance, because Ed’s been aiming a bow at him for the best part of two minutes, and he still hasn’t noticed.
And then, all at once, his gaze drops, and his eyes widen, and he all but screams.
“I’M FRIENDLY!”
or: what if Ed and Stede just happened to be citizens in the Kingdom of Hyrule? And what if they had a serendipitous meet cute at the Great Eldin Skeleton and then fell in love? Suspend your disbelief, because this is that fic.

Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

Summary
“Yes,” Stede whispers.
Ed blinks up at him.
Too sincere. Oh god, it’s all wrong for the bit, isn’t it? Ed’s been going full hammed-up drama, and so was Stede. Until now. Dear lord.
At least there’s not an audience to see him deliver his lines so terr–
Oh.
Oh no, they’ve amassed quite a crowd, it seems.
(or: Ed proposes to Stede as a joke. A bit. A funny little prank. Haha.)

Summary
Ed is a wonderful houseguest. He’s quiet, and he’s tidy, and he mostly keeps to himself. He gets up with the birds, leaves half a kettle of freshly boiled water for Stede every morning, and is out of the door before Stede’s even entertained the idea of getting out of bed.
He’s also ridiculously, devastatingly handsome.
And therein, lies Stede's problem.
or: Stede gets reluctantly strong armed into hosting a friend of a friend for a week when their original accomodation falls through. Which would have been fine, uneventful even, if his new houseguest hadn't turned out to be absolutely, one-hundred percent his type.

Summary
The night Stede has sex for the first time, he is twenty years old and lost in a sea of college-aged horniness and beer-soaked misadventures. The frat party is obnoxious. The boy is fucking beautiful.
The sex is decidedly awkward.
Twenty years later, Ed's fucking tired of dating apps—until he comes across an oddly familiar face.

Summary
Lighthouse Bookshop had been there seemingly since time immemorial. Over forty years at that spot, sitting proud, a beacon at the heart of the community, and when the old owner decides to sell, it's the perfect vessel for Stede's odd restlessness.
And the building is connected to a famous cocktail bar run by a mad genius behind the stick.
One problem: Stede's still married.

Summary
Stede Bonnet has spent most of his adult life taking heavy suppressants that have allowed him to pass as a beta with no one the wiser. His father had made it clear that no son of his would present to the world as an omega. And it was fine, really it was. He was used to being a disappointment to his father. And the side effects weren't that terrible. He resigned himself to living his life keeping parts of who he was tucked away and so drugged that no one knew it existed. And then he met Ed.
Edward Teach ends up being assigned to a long-term work trip with a handsome beta that he can't help but check out. He finds himself forming an easy friendship that feels like it could become more the longer they spend together. When a blizzard traps them in a small cabin in Montana he secretly rejoices at more time with Stede and a chance to explore their budding friendship.
Things do not go as planned.

Summary
A series of smut fics based loosely in a Remington Steele AU, based on the detective show set in the 1980s. Jim is a private investigator who owns their own agency. Because of period-typical sexism, they invent a figurehead for their agency, a man named Edward Teach. Cue Ed, a con man and professional thief who steps into the role after they meet on a case. This series jumps in many months into their working partnership, when the sexual tension growing between them finally breaks.
Or: Edward and Jim communicate about sex, and not much else.

Summary
Ed has never worn lingerie like this before. They’ve dabbled with wearing stockings- both of them have, in fact, and enjoyed it- and they’d discussed the possibility of taking it further, but Stede had no idea… not a clue that Ed would… that he’d…
Stede reaches up for the edge of the robe, and Ed gently jerks away from his grasp. Stede barely manages to catch himself before he topples forwards into the carpet.
“Ah-ah,” Ed chides, the ghost of a smile playing on his lips. “No touching.”

Summary
It’s the summer of 1959, and classics professor Stede Bonnet is determined to become a new man. He’s made two monumental changes so far: he’s resigned his position at the University of Chicago, where he has taught for his entire career, and he’s left his wife Mary, to whom he has been married for nine years. Now he’s off to the only place in the United States where you can get a no-fault divorce: the deserts of Nevada. He’s checking in to a so-called Divorce Ranch just outside of Reno, where he’ll spend the requisite six weeks establishing residency. After that, it’s off to California to assume his new teaching position and his new life.
It's the summer of 1959. Ed Teach has been living in Reno since he was a teenager. He's a radio DJ, an artist, a handyman and a fixture of the community, particularly popular in the underground gay nightlife scene that is still recovering from the brutal vice raids of the McCarthy era.
