Summary
The snow might be good. For all the intruders who might come find them, at least he’d be able to see where they come from. The birds are mostly gone, but the chickadees are loud enough to give warning. Ed’s rehearsed the fake battle in his mind so many times he can see it as a near memory.
or: the thoughts that karma might catch up with ed and stede at the inn are suddenly too much for ed to bear.

Summary
'He knew it was coming, of course he knew. It was inevitable. Written in the stars, probably. He was just hoping it would never come, and it would prove that he's not a massive disappointment, a plague, an unlovable loser.'

Summary
The leather used to be like armour. Protection against a world out to fucking get him when his own skin felt far too softly vulnerable to leave so delicate and exposed. He relished in everything it stood for back then. Found euphoria in the hyper-masculine status it brought him, and the power that came with it. Willingly let it consume him until it became his whole world, because the one beyond the doors of the bars was never any better.
He built himself a reputation. Blackbeard, the leather daddy Dom.
As Blackbeard, the world could never harm him. As Blackbeard, his own dysphoria could never touch him. As Blackbeard, he knew he was safe.
It’s still true, all these years later, but his leathers are worn with age just like the rest of him, and Ed is so tired of playing pretend.

“I am your Roomba 1717p. I am ready to clean”, Stede said. Because that was what he was supposed to say when he was booted up.
---
Stede is a robotic vacuum-cleaner. One day, he finds an open door that had never been open before. Behind a door, there must be a room to clean, so Stede goes through. And finds himself on a journey towards new places, new people, and a new purpose ...

Summary
For the last few weeks, Ed's upstairs neighbour (and casual Grindr fuck buddy) Stede has appeared online at 10:05pm every Wednesday. Within minutes, they're connecting, but an hour and forty-five minutes later, every single time, Stede bolts like Cinderella.
The thing is, Ed's anything but casual about Stede right now; he's fallen head over heels, and he's determined to figure this guy out.
