Summary
He and Stede rarely got through the day without spending some sort of time together. Ed thought he might be a bit in love with him, even though he was going slightly insane listening to him masturbate at night.
Ah, right. The shared wall thing.
Turns out they were quite thin.
***
Ed and Stede live in neighboring flats, and over the years Ed has fallen for Stede hard. The problem is, Ed's guilty pleasure is listening to Stede get himself off at night with a vibrating sex toy.
Hilarity and chaos ensues when Ed buys the same model of butt plug for himself, and finds out the hard way that their shared wall is so thin that the remote for Stede's plug can control his too.

Summary
Stede is an ex-novice monk who has forsaken his brotherhood and freed a demon in the process—Leviathan, legendary Serpent of the Abyss, Prince of Envy, Hellmouth, Guardian of the Hellgates, and the Ending of All Things.
But Stede just calls him Ed, the love of his life.
They're finally free of the monastery, but the question remains of what to do next. Ed has always wanted to be human, but even in his explorations of Earth he hasn't found a way to change his nature. Stede would love nothing more than to be with Ed forever, to explore the parts of himself that are drawn to the infernal forces beyond the bounds of Earth, but he's limited by his own mortality.
What does forever look like between a man and an immortal demon when death could separate them at any moment? Ed and Stede will travel into the depths of Hell itself to find out.

Summary
Honestly, fuck Jack. Ed could do so much better than fuckin' "Calico" Jack. Just because he'd been in a funk for a few years that didn't mean... Well, Ed knew he was attractive. He could be sexy. He could. And he could pull someone so completely opposite to Jack they might as well be from different planets.
Enter the gorgeous posh blond bloke at the end of the bar.
Oh, he would do nicely.
***
Ed and Stede have the worst exes in the world, but with a little bit of fuckery and a fabricated relationship (that's maybe getting a bit too real), they can help each other get them off their backs.
But what happens when their attraction to each other grows, and yet they’ve only agreed to touch each other when other people are around?

Summary
Alma Bonnet is a newly-thirteen, bold and intrepid child, and in the process of coming into her own as a teen, she has stowed away on her father's pirate ship.
When Alma is discovered, now a many-weeks-long journey away from Barbados, wearing a fake beard and clothes that are much too big for her, Ed and Stede must change their plans in order to return her back home, going from fierce pirates to unwitting caretakers.
Alma's unique charm, wit, and child-like sense of adventure brings out a softer, more protective side in Ed and Stede, who struggle between protecting Alma from the more dangerous aspects of pirate life and letting her find her burgeoning independence.
Alma's presence makes Ed and Stede reflect upon their own childhoods, and reminds them that "coming of age" never really stops.

Summary
Stede, a history professor specializing in the golden age of piracy, is fascinated when art professor Edward Teach joins his humble university’s faculty. Even more fascinating are the rumors that Ed is actually the famous, anonymous artist, Blackbeard. Stede falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.
Across the academic year, Stede tips headfirst into dizzying romance, mind-blowing sex, and happiness he couldn't have dreamed up if he'd tried. He learns lessons he never knew he needed, forcing him to reevaluate everything from his career goals to his relationships with his children. Ed is at the center of it all, teaching Stede at every turn exactly how wonderful life can be—and the startling speed with which fear and hesitation could snatch away his newfound love.
Eventually, the only thing that matters for them both is learning enough about love to stop it from slipping through their fingers.

Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

Summary
(Fictionalised Regency Era AU.) When a Black Knight named Crowley is found sprawled in the snow, Baronet Zira Fell takes him to a safe place to heal his wounds and help him recover over the winter. They’re supposed to be enemies, not friends... But as the months pass, Zira dotes intimately on Crowley, sharing hours together by the fire, losing afternoons to indulgent dress-up games, taking horseback rides through the estate’s snowy grounds, then sneaking into each other’s beds at night – for warmth, that’s all... Slowly, Zira and Crowley discover that they have more and more in common than opposed.
Now a grand Winter Ball is coming up fast, and Zira needs someone to play his made-up fiancee. Either he finds a woman prepared to lie on short notice, or – as Crowley jokingly suggests – the reclusive Baronet and the disgraced Knight risk their noble titles and step out together. Obviously that’s out of the question. They can’t be seen together. They can’t dance together. And they certainly can’t pretend to be engaged. One perfect night with the friend they’ve secretly come to love couldn’t possibly be worth losing everything... Or could it?*** NOW COMPLETE ***

Summary
One went to Aziraphale's bookshop to exchange secrets, buy information or simply to use as a safe haven from the powers that be.
One did not go there looking for a partner for a seemingly-innocent mission to a tropical island, stalking a perfectly normal couple. Where
unfortunatelythey would have to pretend they were married. As if that would have stopped Crowley, anyway.Throw in their mysterious and complicated past, danger lurking from where they are least expecting and Crowley's very naked, very tattooed body that suddenly seems to be everywhere, and you might find them in a situation they are too ineffable to escape.
Or, my entry for the Good AUmens fest for the Fake Marriage prompt, with a hearty dash of Spies subplot.

Summary
Candles. Mistletoe. An entire frozen lake. Festive memories from their past together keep appearing out of nowhere.
Crowley's sure he's manifesting them accidentally out of sheer romantic desperation. It's bad enough trying to hide his unrequited love as they grow closer post-Apocaloops - what if Aziraphale sees the objects for what they are, a window into his yearning soul? Unfortunately, the only way to banish the objects seems to be talking about each memory...
Meanwhile, Aziraphale is just trying to woo his demon boyfriend with big gestures, ready to prove his devotion. And if Crowley acts awkward about the miracles? Surely that's just his difficulty accepting affection. The solution: shower him with as much of it as possible...
Eventually these two will communicate, even if it takes 'til the end of the year. For now there will be cuddling, excuses for closeness, sappy words, flashbacks, nostalgia, bickering, and an obscene variety of holiday foods. Oh, and footnotes. That's right. We're doing those too.
