Summary
Ed and Stede meet as strangers one night on a New York subway platform when Stede discovers an abandoned newborn baby. Both men are instantly infatuated with him (and each other). When they attend the court hearing for his case, the judge spontaneously decides to offer Stede custody, which he accepts– only to realize afterwards that she assumed they were a couple.
The two men immediately craft a plan to pretend to be together in order to keep the baby, creating fake backstories, coaching their friends, and moving in together... into the same bedroom... and the same bed. But what they didn't anticipate was falling head over heels in love, not only with their son, but with each other.
Inspired by the TRUE STORY outlined in this article
Features: a very fast slow burn, fake dating, only one bed, pining while fucking, and other tropes

Summary
Over the past few days, Ed has been keeping himself at a distance. Stede doesn’t blame him: he’s been distant too. Doesn’t stop Stede from missing him, though. Stede’s been a bad boyfriend, he thinks. In the summertime he was able to take Ed out on day trips, shower him with little gifts, take him dancing without a care in the world. Now that ice is growing thicker and thicker on their doorstep, he feels like it’s grown between him and Ed as well. Nothing seems to melt it.

Or, Ed and Stede talk it through. It's not all smooth sailing.

Summary
In 1919, telegraph operator Stede Bonnet returns from the Great War with no memory and no voice, unable to recall what happened to break his mind. On his first night at home, he sees the translucent image of a man he knows is Ed in the mirror, except that this Ed comes from 1719.
Just as Stede knows that he's lost his Ed, this Ed has lost his Stede, and neither of them knows why. Reaching out across these broken lines of connection over two centuries, they'll work together to remember the endings of their stories, and to find what they've lost.
