There's a weird man at this conference.

He sounds like a children’s TV presenter after they’ve been hyped up on the drugs that will eventually get them fired in a cloud of shame.

The kid he’s talking to only enhances the effect (when did the new graduates start looking like kids?) - she looks a bit terrified, truth be told. Like she wants to flee the scene of such enormous earnestness before it consumes her.

Ed finds himself drawn to the whole thing like a moth to a flame.

The man turns to him. He’s around Ed’s age, and fizzing with energy. He’s got a smile that could probably power a small village with its wattage. Stede, his name badge proclaims him as. Weird name for a weird guy.

Fluffy conference based meet cute, of no substance

If At First You Don't Succeed

A beautifully emotional fic featuring the classic only one bed trope. Taking place after Ed and Stede bump into Anne and Mary on the island.

This fic features Ed’s previous suicidal ideation and attempts, he’s in a place now where he wants to live and get better.

How a Life Can Move from the Darkness by adhduck

6 Prove It - MUSIC

"In a future world where cities separate people into sky-high towers and environmental collapse has made travel impossible, inventor Stede Bonnet has been developing telepathic communication technology to bring people closer together. When he hears about an exclusive club that's using similar technology in a very different way, it just makes business sense to check it out. The fact that it's a sex club designed to read people's deepest unspoken desires and match them with aligned others, when Stede's never once felt aligned with his own wife, is incidental... until it's not.  Ed Teach built the Impossible Bird club to allow people to keep their distance while they fight their loneliness through other kinds of connection. The last thing he expected was to find a guest who matched and aligned with him, after years of hovering above it all. And the more times his anonymous guest comes back, and the more things he unlocks about himself, the more Ed can feel himself falling in a way he never planned.  But is reading each other's minds enough? This is a story about two absolutely perfect people learning to communicate in every conceivable way, in a world that's falling apart outside their dream." https://archiveofourown.org/works/58909696
