Summary
The day that Prince Steven Harrington turns twenty is the first sunny spring day after a seemingly endless spell of heavy rain that left the castle grounds drowning in mud and its inhabitants freezing and miserable in the inescapable dampness of everything.
But that is not why he will remember it so vividly for the rest of his life.
It is also the day that his father, King Richard, chooses to ride off into war with great fanfare, to strengthen the glory of Hawkins and expand its wealth and territory.
But this also isn’t why the day will be forever ingrained in his memory.
No, the actual reason Steve knows that he will not forget his twentieth birthday until the moment his heart stops beating and his eyes close forever is an entirely different one.
It is the day he finds the dragon.

Summary
“You will be sacrificed to the sea dragon the night of the next full moon,” his father tells him, in the same matter-of-fact tone he used when informing Stede of his engagement.
Stede stares at him, blood draining away from his face. “What?” he manages. Sacrificed? In two days? He looks at Lord Hornigold, who nods in agreement, and Nigel and Chauncey, who look very pleased. “You mean I’ll… I’ll die?”
“To keep our people safe,” his father says.
“Ned has to be placated and it’s only the blood of a royal virgin that appeases him,” Lord Hornigold explains.
Prince Stede Bonnet is seconds away from being sacrificed to a sea dragon when a sea monster named Ed rescues him instead.
Maybe Stede can return the favour.- Language:

Summary
“Are you going to kill me?” Steve’s voice was small, the question choking out of him without permission.
Did he even want to know the answer? It was probably as obvious as it seemed, as Eddie rose an eyebrow at him.
“Kill you? Oh, Stevie, I would never.” Eddie dropped to one knee by Steve’s side. His head leaned down, so close to Steve’s ear that he could feel his hot breath ticking against his hair. “I like my meals hot.”
OR
Eddie takes Steve to another version of Hawkins that he likes to call the Inside Out.

Summary
Stede wonders what the man looks like. He doesn’t sound young like the first profile. Maybe a man in his late thirties? Or forties, perhaps? “Yes, of course, but I—” He shifts on the sofa, feeling embarrassed. “I’m rather new to this, I’m afraid.”
The man hums, and another shiver runs down Stede’s spine. “To phone sex?” he asks. “Paying for it? To talking to a man?”
“All of the above,” Stede sighs. “I mean, I’ve talked to men before, obviously, but…”
“Not for sex.”
Stede figures that the safest way to figure out if he's actually attracted to men is by calling a phone sex line.
