Ed’s a TEC/DICK/SLEUTH/GUMSHOE who’s been out of the game for a few years. He’s happy to be indulging his hobby with a bunch of other nerds.
But when he meets a blond with LEGS/GAMS/PINS that could kill…

Summary
Day drunk, Ed told him the truth with only a little bit of editing, focusing less on the murderous fantasies and more on the psychology of killing, the way his body had to operate separately from his mind, which he felt pretty confident that Stede could understand on some level. That the urge stuck with him, even when he tried to force it away.
Stede, the person who lit fires next to bookshelves, began to analyze him.
“Hang on a minute. You reached some type of understanding with yourself after the kraken fuckery, didn’t you? It was hard, but you were able to feel more at ease with yourself afterward, by seeing it play out?”
OR
Ed still wants to kill Stede after the fuckery. Stede has an idea.

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.

Kinktober 2023, Day 16: Beach Sex, Biting, “Look at you”
After a series of bank robberies in Los Angeles, perpetrated by the elusive Gentlemen Pirates, a gang of thieves dressed as 18th century gentlemen, Ed Teach, a new graduate of Quantico, is recruited by the FBI’s Bank Robbery division to infiltrate the gang based on his mastery of one special skill: surfing.
The trouble is, Ed’s never surfed a day in his life.
Fortunately for Ed he meets Stede, who not only gives him lessons in surfing, but in life, and who can also pound him into the sand harder than any wave.
