Summary
renting a lakeside cabin for an entire off-season to lick your wounds in private after a breakup should, in theory, be an entirely foolproof route to healing, and finding yourself, and all that other wellbeing bullshit.
it's not like the universe is going to drop the love of your life on your doorstep, right?

Summary
It's fine that he's married—until it isn't. So Ed takes off on a train for points west to collect himself, and collect wisdom from some old friends, sending dispatches back home to Ma in the form of pithy postcards he finds along the way.
Basically: sometimes you have to leave just so you can come home again.

Lonely wildlife rescue volunteer Stede Bonnet spends his weekends wandering Western Australia's beautiful South Coast beaches looking out for birds in need of rescue. He gets more than he bargained for this weekend when he stumbles across an Antarctic emperor penguin that's ended up several thousand kilometres from home.
His new friend (soon to be nemesis) needs more expert care than he can provide, but he's five hours from the city and clueless. Thankfully, the zoo's penguin expert Edward Teach answers his call and comes down to rescue them both, in more ways than one.

Summary
Stede gets a book about pirates from his brother-in-law. Inside, he finds a curious name—his name, Stede Bonnet. It's barely a mention, two measly paragraphs in a longer story about the legendary Blackbeard, with whom he apparently sailed for a time. That night, he dreams about Ed. He learns he already knows more than he'll find in any book.
And Ed? Ed dreams too. He dreams about drowning, mostly.
Until he sees Stede.
The title comes from my best girl Margaret Lanterman, AKA The Log Lady, in one of her iconic Twin Peaks episode intros: "The beautiful thing about treasure is that it exists. It exists to be found."
If you are a podfic enjoyer, you can find it here, and don't forget to leave lindie a little heart. thanks!

To love requires change.

Summary
Ed can hear birdsong. Birdsong signalling that something in the ecosystem has shifted, dramatically. In a way that was impossible to notice when you’re immersed in it. And it hits him all at once, the realisation that the last ten years are coming to an end, that his period of bare bones survival is going to start shifting into something more active, something faster, something with significantly more intent behind it. After all, nobody tells you when the aftermath becomes just…after. Nobody can tell you when you’re going to feel safe enough to start living again.
or: Ten years after the world ended, Ed's running out of reasons to stay alive. Until one turns up on his literal doorstep, forcing him to reevaluate his definition of hope.

Summary
Come to karaoke, Lucius had said. It’s a good crew of regulars, he’d said. It’s not officially a queer bar but it’s definitely a queer bar, he’d said.
One of my friends is one of the most beautiful men on the planet was definitely not one of the phrases he’d used to try and convince Stede to come. Might have achieved his desired outcome a little faster if that had been part of his proposal.
or: eight times Ed and Stede don't have sex after Friday Night Karaoke at Jackie'z, and one time they absolutely, definitely do.
or: karaoke sex chicken: the not quite musical

Ed Teach is an FTC investigator at the top of his game who has just been benched for going rogue (and playing too much FreeCell). When he meets Stede Bonnet, who's at the center of a Big Pharma deal that seems awfully sketchy, he thinks maybe he's found his (inside) man.

Summary
Stede may be going through a bit of a midlife crisis after his breakup with Mary but they are working through it together by opening up a feminist sex toy shop, Revenge, a safe space for queer, polyam, and trans locals. He needs a hobby of his own to get his mind off the store and the occasional annoying protester. He stumbles upon a quirky yarn store, Black Sheep, not too far from his new shop. He stops in to take up a new hobby, but learns more than he ever expected. In exchange for teaching Stede to knit, Ed asks Stede to teach him the ways of sex toys, as he's a bit rusty in that department and being newly single himself, he's looking to explore.

The Treasure Trove by ClaireGregory for ghostalservice

Summary
Archaeologist Ed Teach has a soft spot for reality TV, and he's been accepted to appear on a favourite: The Treasure Trove, a team race to solve riddles, find clues, and make it to a buried treasure first. He's brought colleague and friend Doug as his teammate... but their teams are switched at the last moment, pairing them with strangers.
Mail carrier Stede Bonnet prefers to spend his spare time studying cool bugs, but he's agreed to be a contestant on wife Mary's favourite show in a last ditch effort to save their failing marriage. When he's paired with the stunningly gorgeous, kind, lovely Ed, he's forced to confront an awful lot of realities at once.
Maybe the real treasure is the insane twenty-four hours they'll spend together, racing for the finish line...

Summary
What the actual shitting fuck. Behind the counter is this fancy dickhead in a yellow suit smiling at him like Ed's the solution to all his problems and the answer to all his prayers.
This is a trap, right? Or a joke? Probably a joke. Guys like that don't smile at guys like Ed. 'Specially not this particular guy like that, who looks like he pisses champagne and shits caviar. Ed knows what he looks like to guys like that, and if he hadn't known when he woke up this morning, he sure as shit knows now every other shop on this street has told him.
-- Ed goes to buy a suit and meets the love of his life. He is very normal about it.

Lighthouse Bookshop had been there seemingly since time immemorial. Over forty years at that spot, sitting proud, a beacon at the heart of the community, and when the old owner decides to sell, it's the perfect vessel for Stede's odd restlessness.
And the building is connected to a famous cocktail bar run by a mad genius behind the stick.
One problem: Stede's still married.

Summary
Stede has always longed to see the Northern Lights, but never had the chance to go during his marriage as Mary hated vacationing anywhere cold. With his father’s retirement looming, Stede only has a small window of time to achieve his dream before he’s tied down to his responsibility to the Bonnet family legacy. He sets out on an impulsive and woefully unprepared trip to Finland to see the Northern Lights and perhaps discover something about himself along the way.
Edward Teach moved to Finland years ago for a change of scenery and to get away from… well, he doesn’t like thinking about it. His tour business is successful, and he’s proud to earn a living showing off all the wonderful things about the place he calls home now. Although, maybe, if he’s being honest, he’s just a bit lonely? Still, no time to dwell on that since it’s his busiest season, and one of the best times of year for his biggest moneymaker - snowmobile tours to view the Northern Lights.
