Summary
The day they get married, the things he knows about Stede could fit on a post-it note.
First: he’s fucking rich.
Second: he needs a husband to stay that way.
Third: he is built like a brick shithouse. Pretty eyes, nice hair. Penchant for weird socks.
(Or: 5 times Ed doesn't tell his husband he loves him, and 1 time he does.)

Summary
They're on the run, post the Republic, but they're happy. They're together. They have their crew. There's nothing that Ed and Stede want, except…
In the sticky cooldown, Ed says, hesitantly, “Do we want to talk about the Izzy thing?”
“What?” Stede says, because his brain is thrumming pleasantly and it takes him a second to process Ed’s words.
Then, “No.” A quick denial, heart thudding. “What thi—“ Then stops. “No.”
“Stede.”
Stede and Ed want Izzy, but they want to do it properly. As he deserves. A 5+1 of Georgian courting rituals: Five Times Ed and Stede Court Izzy, and One Time He Courts Back.

Summary
Stede Bonnet is a recently divorced, mild-mannered English teacher with a passion for literature and a tendency to overthink. After relocating from Auckland to Wellington in search of a fresh start, he begins receiving anonymous text messages meant for someone’s long-lost love.
At first, he’s hesitant to reply, worried that reaching out might ruin the mystery and scare off the sender. But he eventually finds himself texting with Ed Teach, a brooding theatre technician whose presence turns Stede’s quiet new life upside down.
As their connection deepens, Stede finds himself rethinking everything: his love life, his career, and even his growing friendship with Lucius, a fellow teacher facing marital struggles of his own.

Summary
Izzy is always the first one to arrive at the pub, signing off on shipments and taking stock, and if Edward shows up it will be just before last call, when Izzy is dead on his feet and can’t say no to a single thing. Truthfully, though, he rarely can.
Every day starts and ends exactly the same way, until a particularly chatty history professor begins sharing his morning commute.
