Summary
“That one with the leather and the hair, he’s getting cast for sure.”
“Oh, yeah. Doesn’t even matter if you can actually bake, when you look like that!”
“He’ll be this year’s Chigs, or Sandro. Everyone’s flavor, you know?”When Ed Teach gets cast on The Great British Bake Off, he understands the assignment. Look hot on camera, banter with the judges, bake memorable shit.
He isn’t there to make trouble. He isn't there to make friends.
And he certainly isn’t there to fall in love with fellow baker Stede Bonnet.

Summary
The ship is lonely. Maybe Stede should have expected that. It was never built for just him, bumping around the corridors like a particularly clumsy ghost. No, it was built for a family. For Stede’s family, specifically.
In light of their absence, he supposes he’ll have to find a new one. Well, for now, he’d settle for a crew. But how does one go about finding the right sort of pirates for a venture like his?
Turns out, one doesn’t. The right sort of pirates find you.
In which the crew of the Revenge comes to be. Crew backstory because I tear up over these idiots every single day.

Summary
When Stede Bonnet left a life on land to sail the seas as The Gentleman Pirate, he thought he would figure out his true calling. He never expected that rescuing a strange, gray-bearded mercreature covered in tattoos and healing scars would be the thing to give him direction. In discovering who the merman is, he discovers parts of himself he'd kept hidden, and that maybe their lives really aren't so different, after all. They're both looking for the same thing: a person to see past all the trauma and who truly sees them. Ed is like something from Stede's wildest dreams, and Stede is willing to risk breaking the rules society has put on both of them in order to find a new place for them, all while they define what their relationship looks like.
And if he can figure that all out, maybe Stede isn't such a bad pirate after all.

Summary
The Reno Cure is set in the summer of 1959, when classics professor Stede Bonnet resigns his position at the University of Chicago, and leaves his wife for only place in the United States where you can get a no-fault divorce: the deserts of Nevada. He’s booked at a so-called Divorce Ranch just outside of Reno, where he’ll spend the requisite six weeks establishing residency, where he meets Ed Teach, who introduces him to the underground gay nightlife scene that is still recovering from the brutal vice raids of the McCarthy era.
From Reno, With Love is an open-ended series that continues Ed and Stede's stories for the next four decades, as they build a life together with their family and friends. See Series Notes for a chronological order.

Summary
Stede isn't someone people stick around for. His ex-wife disappeared with her new boyfriend approximately five minutes after their divorce was final, leaving him as the sole guardian of their daughter. And now his boyfriend, well, ex-boyfriend, has disappeared with their savings and sublet their apartment to a virtual stranger.
Ed just got the lead in his first New York play and needs a place to crash. Luckily, one of his old acting friends offers to let him sublet his place while he's out of the country. It seems he forgot to mention that the apartment comes with a highly-strung blond bombshell, who seems to loathe Ed's very presence, and the guy's sassy pre-teen daughter.
Forced into cohabitation by circumstances, Ed and Stede bicker their way toward grudging acceptance... and maybe more.
