Summary
Ed looks down, ready to get on with things, and he startles. He’s—Stede—this fucking guy has shoved his hand through the hole in the wall, fingers lined up and thumb out like he’s—nah—he wants to—
“Are you trying to shake hands?”
“Yes, I thought—”
Ed blinks. “Through a glory hole?”
“Oh Christ,” the man allegedly named Stede says, “I’ve messed this up already, haven’t I? I’m so sorry, Jeff, just forget I—hang on—damn.”
It's a glory hole meet-cute! Multiple chapters of Ed and Stede falling in love through a hole in a bathroom wall. Sex, feelings, pining, bad decisions -- all contained within. Now COMPLETE.

Summary
In hindsight, thought Ed, maybe it was kind of dumb of him to assume that all their issues would vanish once they put piracy behind them.
Or, Ed and Stede learn to communicate, and help each other heal along the way.

Summary
Ed Teach is a certified star in the ballet world. His name on a poster can sell out tickets for an entire show's running easily, which is why returning to the stage after being signed off work for a year with a knee injury is particularly daunting. Ed has a legacy of his own creation to live up to, and he's determined to show everyone that his star hasn't dimmed while he's been unable to perform. He can't let anything distract him, least of all the new handsome blonde dancer at his company.
Stede Bonnet is a household name in the ballet world, but that's because he's the son of famous ballerina Sarah Bonnet and wealthy 'patron of the arts' Theodore Bonnet. Everyone has an idea of who Stede is before he even gets a chance to show them. And what he wants more than anything is to prove himself and show that he's not some little rich boy nepotism baby who bought his way into the big leagues.
However, ballet can be a cutthroat world, and when strange occurrences keep happening as the company prepares to put on a production of Swan Lake, the question has to be asked of just how far someone will go to reach the top.
