Summary
After their treasure hunting day, Ed's still on edge trying to figure Stede out, so he decides to ask about the other secret passageways in the ship.
Stede shows him the one under the bed, where he's always thought he could hide from a marauding pirate captain... or be captured by one. Hiding together down there from the crew, Ed rapidly learns that Stede's got more going on in his secret passageways than anyone knew...

Summary
Edward Teach is the master woodworker on The Repair Shop, a show where people bring personal treasures that need some care and attention to get back to their former glory. He's been doing it for years, and he's bored. That is, until he is given a new project, a broken model ship owned by a man Ed's heart seems to recognise. While repairing the ship, he reforges a bond he didn't know existed.
—--------------------------------------------------
"Hello!" Ed started, hoping muscle memory would kick in. "Welcome to the Repair Shop. What have you brought in for us to look at?"
Stede smiled, but Ed could see he was just as nervous as Ed felt. Stede stepped forward and lifted the sheet off the item Ed had been imagining for the last twenty-four hours. Ed gasped at the reveal. 'Model ship' didn't quite cover it.

Summary
Ed Teach is a freshly minted lawyer who is given what he thinks is a routine job - transfer of property to someone with limited ID. Easy, right? Instead he’s faced with Stede, a unique robot owned by the Bonnet household. And Stede's unique brain allows him to grow, and develop a creativity and an individuality that he was never meant to have, and most importantly, to want.
It’s bad enough, in this world, that humans want. Ed has spent his whole life pushing that urge down, to work towards what he’s supposed to aim for. Has fought hard not to stay in the mould that he was destined for, but has had to fight just as hard to tamp down his own wants to fit into the one he’s chosen. Has cut bits off and tried to forget how to want them. He can see why unbridled desire appearing in a robot - no shame, no need for conformity, only logic pathways and the Three Laws to guide them - would freak them out.

Summary
Edward Teach had always felt drawn to acting and spent years of his life working his way up the ladder from obscurity to becoming an A-list action star that was a household name. He had done it all on his own merit and was proud that he'd finally reached the pinnacle of success. However, through it all, he had found himself fighting the nepotism of Hollywood and there was one name that had come against his own time and time again. Stede Bonnet.
Stede had gotten his start in show biz early, driven by his domineering father, he found it was one way to be close to his busy mother. And while it might not have been his first choice, he fell in love with it, gradually taking his place on the red carpet like his mother before him. When a fantasy script crossed his desk he signed on without a thought, not expecting Edward Teach to drag his name through the mud when it was revealed the casting director was white washing the source material.
After a year of keeping out of the public eye, he decides he's ready to step out again and signs on for something completely different in the form of a love story between two men. The only caveat? He's starring opposite of Edward Teach, a man he can't stand.

Summary
In 1983, at a truck stop outside North Bend, WA, 13-year-old Stede meets 13-year-old Ed.
Only a few minutes into their conversation, they realise that Ed has unwittingly travelled here from twenty years in the future.
Instant best friends, they agree that, if the time skip stays open, they will continue to meet each month--and they do. They keep up their dates as the years pass and they grow older, right through both of them earning their PhDs in physics and realising, together, that they are not only best friends, but each other's one true love.
They're trying their hardest to find a way to live together, forever. Can Ed return to Stede's time and stay-–or will Stede's cutting edge experiments succeed, and send him to the future?
