Summary
Our saltwater solution reduces gravity’s pull by over 80%, ensuring you'll effortlessly stay afloat! We keep the water at a steady 36 degrees—matching your skin’s temperature. This blend of weightlessness and warmth blurs the lines between your body and the water, as your nerves can’t tell where you end and the surrounding environment begins.
Weightlessness. Yeah. If anything’s gonna be Ed’s cure-all, it’s gotta be weightlessness, right?
Ed’s carried around weight for most of his life. He’s tired. His muscles ache. His joints are all ground down to dust.
Also - the word solution is right there. Which proves it.
This is it. This is Ed’s solution.
(Or: Ed's on a wellness journey for his fuckass brain. It's not going great. The guy at the float tank place is being way too nice about it. Please mind the tags!)

Summary
Ed does't remember what the sun feels like on his face.
He didn’t forget the entire existence of sunny days; he remembers squinting his eyes against the horizon, he remembers having to plan higher water rations, he remembers the stink of a full ship in high summer, he remembers warmth, but only academically.
He can’t remember how it felt in his bones, in his skin, in his chest, to have the center of the entire universe’s light and life pointed right at him.
So when the sun comes back, all he can do is trust his instincts, jump headfirst, and hope he catches him.

This is a raw and beautiful story about how an acquired brain injury can change lives in a positive way, difficult sure, but positive none the less. Definitely worth a read.

Summary
In a future world where cities separate people into sky-high towers and environmental collapse has made travel impossible, inventor Stede Bonnet has been developing telepathic communication technology to bring people closer together. When he hears about an exclusive club that's using similar technology in a very different way, it just makes business sense to check it out. The fact that it's a sex club designed to read people's deepest unspoken desires and match them with aligned others, when Stede's never once felt aligned with his own wife, is incidental... until it's not.
Ed Teach built the Impossible Birds club to allow people to keep their distance while they fight their loneliness through other kinds of connection. The last thing he expected was to find a guest who matched and aligned with him, after years of hovering above it all. And the more times his anonymous guest comes back, and the more things he unlocks about himself, the more Ed can feel himself falling in a way he never planned.
But is reading each other's minds enough? This is a story about two absolutely perfect people learning to communicate in every conceivable way, in a world that's falling apart outside their dream.

Summary
“You may kiss the groom,” the celebrant concludes, and Ed raises one eyebrow right at the same time that Stede whispers, too quiet for the crowd to hear, “Will you?”
And Ed nods, sliding his palm up to cup Stede’s jaw and pulling him in for the softest of kisses. It’s brief, barely a touch really, but Stede practically melts beneath him, leaning into his touch. When Ed pulls away, he smiles and it’s full of sunshine and it warms Ed’s heart.
This is his husband. His husband.
Stede lets out a little nervous, sweet huff. “It’s nice to meet you,” he murmurs, and Ed can’t help the snort of laughter that falls from his throat.
Or:
The Married At First Sight (Australia) AU you didn’t know you wanted.

MAFS crossover with all the drama and conflict and luuurve you'd expect from the reality TV show. Is good, read it.
