Summary
“When I was a child,” Stede says slowly, faraway and nostalgic. “My mother - she never really spent much time in the kitchen, of course; we had dedicated household staff that handled all the cooking, but there was one thing she used to make herself. She’d melt brown sugar until it bubbled, and it was just on this side of burnt, but not quite? And she’d pour it out and let it harden in these big sheets of transparent, amber-coloured toffee. I used to break off shards and suck it into razor-sharp points; would run around pretending I had a knife, or a prison shank. They made excellent props when playing at being a pirate.”
Stede is sort of lost in the tangent. He’s good at telling stories, even real-life ones, and Ed finds himself getting a bit lost in it, too.
“Your eyes are like that,” says Stede.
“When the sunlight gets them. Like the taste of it. Smoky and sweet,” says Stede.
“Like melty, burnt toffee. They’re so lovely, Ed,” says Stede.
These are the things that Ed collects.
(OR: Ed keeps buried treasure after all. Stede finds his secret stash. Post S2 oneshot with Big Ed feelings as he slowly comes to grips with the fact that he's VERY loved - but we already knew that)

Summary
Ed shouldered open the door to Jackie’z. Did his habitual, instinctive scan of the room—searching for potential threats.
And immediately found one.Ed froze. Lips parted. A roaring in his ears, like the ocean. Purple spots crowded his vision and his mouth flooded with saliva and for one brief, terrifying moment he thought he might do something super embarrassing, like throw up or faint or throw up and then faint.
Because standing there at the host’s podium was the actual last man on earth that Ed had expected to run into tonight.
**
Diverges from canon somewhere during Impossible Birds. The Revenge makes port, and Ed goes looking for a drink at Jackie'z. He's a bit surprised to find out who's currently serving on her waitstaff.

Summary
What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.

Summary
Regulus refuses to be a stereotype, but being pathetically in love with his straight, “golden boy” flatmate makes that rather difficult.
James loves Regulus with every last inch of his soul, but that’s a completely normal feeling for a best friend… when buried in lingering guilt.
