Summary
Ed and Stede's relationship grows stronger every day since the devastating month they spent apart in the spring. Now, they're heading into a wide-open summer full of love, family, and each other, eager to enjoy lazy days devoid of the school year's stress.
But not all wounds close quite so quickly. The most painful hurts take the longest to heal, and it isn't long before they realize that it will take more than sweet, loving words to mend the oldest, deepest cracks in their hearts.
And then there's the ring tucked away in Stede's dresser drawer. All he needs to do is find the words to ask Ed to stick around in a forever, promises-and-vows sort of way—and that shouldn't be so difficult, right?

Summary
"And Ed could do little more than let out an awed sigh as his eyes once again took in what must be hundreds of books. Not even all of the books Stede has ever read. Just the select few he liked the most. Entire lifetimes within each tome. Love and loss and adventure and knowledge. For some reason, all just hitting him then.
Ed had never been particularly interested in books. He mostly associated reading with his mother's stern lessons over her well-worn bible, re-reading the same passages over and over again until they were forever burned into his memory."
***
Ed becomes fascinated by the books that have informed the worldview of the even more fascinating Stede Bonnet.
Ed's mother taught him to read when he was a boy, but through a series of miscommunications, Stede ends up reading aloud to Ed nearly every night (with Ed willfully taking advantage of Stede's misunderstanding to spend more time with him).

Summary
Edward Teach, owner of Blackbeard Productions, is one of the most well-known and successful cryptid hunters in the country. His crew wants for nothing, and they are damn good at what they do. Thing is, though, Ed's weary. He's tired of the convention circuit, he's tired of the constant networking and attention, and he's tired of the way they go about things.
Ed's entire world shifts on its axis when he attends Cryptid Fest 2023 as the highest-billed special guest. By chance, he stumbles upon a panel being run by Stede Bonnet, The Gentleman Hunter, a newbie on the scene. But what Stede lacks in experience he makes up for with excitement and creativity, and Ed is instantly fascinated. Never before has he wanted to collaborate with another crew the way he finds himself wanting to now.
Is meeting Stede the breath of fresh air that Ed has been searching for, his chance to break away from the monotony? Or is the whole endeavor another whim, one that invites incredible risk and could unravel them all entirely?
