Summary
It's 1925, and Stede Bonnet has fled his restrictive life of privilege in Wellington to become a painter in Paris. Things do not go as planned.
Meanwhile, Ed "Blackbeard" Teach is an established sculptor haunted by the war, broke, and bored of it all, until he meets Stede.
They become friends, and eventually something more, when Ed agrees to model for Stede, until life pulls them apart.
When they reunite, they’re older, more world-weary... and irresistibly drawn to each other more than ever.

Summary
"What was coming, he still couldn’t mark beyond the word “trouble” lit up in gold when it came rolling in over the east field that late May before the first licks of the summer he turned 19.
Trouble rolling over the hill and right up to Ed.
Trouble pulling his stetson, loose around his ears like it wasn’t quite fit to him, from his head, down to his chest. Trouble tilting his head to Ed, like Ed was a fine lady, like Ed was anything but a ranch hand perched on a borrowed horse. Trouble asking, soft and sturdy as fresh wheat bread, 'how do you do'?"This is about a lot of things but this is primarily about how one man can hear one Orville Peck song and turn it into 46k words with absolutely no restraint.

Summary
At eighteen, Ed and Stede meet by chance while backpacking through Europe, and it’s like striking a match—an immediate sparking connection drawing them together. Every day they spend together feels like an adventure, wandering through the streets of Hamburg, getting lost in Fussen, and finding their feelings for each other might be more than just friendly. But when Ed suggests they split up for a bit—just a detour before meeting again in Venice—things fall apart. Ed's train breaks down, Stede waits in Venice until he decides he's been stood up, and the trip ends in separation and broken hearts.
25 years later, they’ve never forgotten about each other, but their lives have moved on. When a chance encounter brings them face-to-face, it’s like no time has passed, and all the old memories (and feelings) come rushing back. Only they're both in committed relationships...
As they wander through re-learning each other, sorting through their feelings, they’re faced with the question of whether it’s possible to pick up where they left off—or if too much time, and too many choices, have come between them. Can they move past the lost connections and missed opportunities, and rediscover what once set their souls on fire?- Language:

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
Ed Teach is doing just fine. Really. So fine. A few months removed from his divorce and now officially out as genderfluid, what could he possibly have to complain about? Besides the ever-present shadow his mental health issues seem to cast over his life, of course. While depression has gripped him tight in its tentacles in recent months, there’s a reprieve in sight: a weekend away in an Airbnb with his college roommate Stede, leading up to their ten year reunion. On paper, it’s the perfect getaway from his monotonous, lonely life.
If only Ed wasn’t madly in love with Stede. And if only Stede wasn’t very happily 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.
