    Summary

    When Stede suggests that he and Ed start watching one of the most-talked-about new shows of the year together, it’ll all be fine, right? There’s just a few problems:

    1. Ed’s in love with Stede;
    2. Stede doesn’t know;
    3. The show is Heated Rivalry. A very, very sexy show.
    4. Yeah. It’ll all be perfectly fine.

    Summary

    Summary

    “I think you’re my best friend,” Stede says, wide eyed and serious, and that’s not—that’s not the phrase Ed was bracing himself for. “Maybe the best one I’ve ever had. You know that, right? I just needed you to know that. Thought it was important that you knew that.”

     

    or: why can't a couple be both best friends and lovers?

    Summary

    The day they get married, the things he knows about Stede could fit on a post-it note.

    First: he’s fucking rich.

    Second: he needs a husband to stay that way.

    Third: he is built like a brick shithouse. Pretty eyes, nice hair. Penchant for weird socks.

    (Or: 5 times Ed doesn't tell his husband he loves him, and 1 time he does.)

    Summary


    My ideal first date:


    We go to a couple’s counseling session and see how long it takes the therapist to realize that we’ve never met before. 

    Stede laughs. Honest to god giggles into his wine glass at the absurdity of it. Surely one can’t just book a couple’s therapist with a complete stranger. He hits the reply button before he can think about it. 

    There’s no actual way you can do this. Is that allowed?

    Not even a full minute passes when he gets a response from Ed.

    Completely allowed, mate, as long as we don’t get caught. In fact, why don’t I book us an appointment right now?

     

    Or, Stede and Ed have an…interesting first date.
