Summary
Wellington. June 1942.
Ed Teach, head of Blackbeard Investigations, is ready to retire when he gets one last job offer: a fat cheque for the simple job of finding industrialist Bartholomew Bonnet's missing son, Stede. The problem isn't finding Stede—that's easy enough for the best skiptracer in the country—it's that the more Ed learns about Stede and his family, the more it becomes clear why Stede ran away in the first place. But Stede has something valuable of his father's, and Bonnet and his dangerous, well-connected allies will stop at nothing to get it back. The thing is, though...Ed's found something of value, too: Stede.
And Ed's not giving him up without a fight.

Summary
It's the late 90s. Stede, a senior in high school, takes a job at a local fast food franchise to earn some cash, hoping to make it out without his father's help. His trainer at work, Ed, wants to escape too. Maybe together they can get somewhere. Anywhere is better.
They'll get out, sure. But they have a whole lot to learn.
Childhood friends to lovers who don't talk about it to strangers to lovers, basically. Some angst, but hopefully balanced.
Thrilled to say this has been podfic'd by Lindie, the best who ever done it. Link here.
