    Summary

    For all he knows, there could be hundreds of these missed connections.

    Well, hundreds might be a little overzealous… But the point is, dammit, that Stede could, if he very well wanted to, be a player. Or at least, like, a seasoned lover. An aficionado of romance. If he only knew when someone was flirting with him.

    (or: The first time that Ed made a pass at Stede, Stede was completely oblivious to it. At a friend's party, he gets another chance.)

    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

    He needs to say it, to get it out, but the words seem to be stuck somewhere between his heart and throat. And then, in one breathless gasp: “I think I’m in love.”

    Summary

    The resort is loud and sprawling. There are screaming kids everywhere, their parents too drunk to keep them on a tight leash, and Ed once again questions why this wedding had to happen during the fucking school summer break, and also why the universe hates him.

    *

    Or: Ed is in the Bahamas for Izzy and Jack’s destination wedding, and he’s fully expecting it to be chaos. What he’s not expecting is the hot guy at the pool bar who flirts with him shamelessly and seems to be allergic to doing up his shirt buttons.
