Summary
Izzy never called it macabre. Never said chin up, mate, this’ll pass. Never told Edward to think of something nice instead or promised him that things would look better tomorrow. He just stayed close: a steady, solid weight. And when Edward couldn’t speak, couldn’t move, couldn’t do much of anything at all, Izzy read.
Sometimes being in a mature relationship means realizing that your codependent comfort rituals are, in fact, codependent as fuck.

Summary
The tiredness hits him like waves crashing onto rocks during a storm. His limbs feel heavy, far too heavy to move, and the nausea is overbearing. He closes his eyes, the light is making the pain in his head worse, it feels as if it's starting to split into two. He can feel himself slowly fading away. A voice plunges through the darkness trying desperately to reach him. “Stede, Stede…” He thinks that’s his name, he’s not sure, it's too hard to think.
After a blow to the head, Stede finds himself living in a place he doesn't recognise, with a man he doesn't remember. Is it possible to fall in love with the same person twice?
This story is inspired by the 1991 film "Regarding Henry" and some personal experience.

Summary
“What?” Ed, like always, was oblivious to his appearance and how it affected Stede.
Casually Ed trudged up to the bank of the river they were using to bathe in. Today was “Beat Your Clothes Against A Rock” day. And both were naked in the sun after a bath.
No one would chance upon them. They were a fair distance up river, away from the path that led to their inn, in a place they designated as their personal swimming hole.

Summary
They came together like a ship crashing into the rocks. The light from Stede’s lighthouse was quickly fading, and Ed found that he didn’t really care at that moment, that he was shipwrecked. The way their bodies fit together as Stede desperately clung to Ed, overwhelmed Ed’s senses and Ed was suddenly aroused.
