“Yes, I thought—”

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
When Stede meets a startlingly well-dressed man at an otherwise rather tacky Sexy Santa Night at the bar, he quickly develops one objective: hold this man's attention by any means necessary. Even if it means pretending to be terrible at pool.
Despite Stede's ruse, Ed might just see him more clearly than anyone ever has before. And Stede might be getting some life-changing Christmas wishes granted tonight that he didn't even know he had.

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.

Summary
Stede Bonnet arrived by train to Aspen, Colorado in 1893. He came with more money than sense, dressed in a flamboyant outfit more suited to a London nightclub than a rough and tumble mining town in Colorado.
Shortly after Bonnet’s arrival, he met Edward ‘Blackbeard’ Teach. Blackbeard, had made millions during the 1880s and ‘90s through a combination of the silver veins of his Blackbeard Mine and a penchant for claim jumping, train robbery, and shootouts at saloons throughout the west.
The two became fast friends and ill-fated criminal partners. When the silver market collapsed following President Cleveland’s repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, Aspen’s mines closed and thousands of miners lost their jobs. To save the town, Bonnet and Blackbeard planned a daring heist of the Aspen to Glenwood Springs train that would have seen them making off with nearly $100,000 - if they’d been able to pull it off! Instead, Blackbeard’s right hand man Izzy Hands saved the train and saw these lawless men sent to justice in Denver.
Three years later, they both returned to Aspen to rob the same train - and this time plummeted to their deaths with a dynamiting gone wrong! How did it come to this? Read on!
