  2. Summary

    Izzy Hands is a PhD student, sharing an apartment with his roommates Jack Rackham and Ed Teach. Jack is a sixth year undergrad, while Ed's in his second year of his MFA in visual art. Two years they've all lived together, two years Izzy's dealt with the frat boy nonsense of Jack and Eddie's erratic moods. That's not even mentioning the drinking, drugs, and fucking the other two get up to — frequently, loudly, and often together. Izzy doesn't realize he's in for a bit of a life change when he and Ed accompany Jack to his parents' house for Thanksgiving.

    Summary

    A modern AU in which Ed is a glassblower, because glassblowing is sexy. Ed/Stede medium burn, E rating applies from chapter 4 onwards.

    Stede's life is boring, flat, made up of things he didn't choose for himself. He commissions some glass art from Ed as an anniversary gift for Mary, and Stede starts to learn what it is like to want things for himself.

    ---

    “Hey, it’s blond guy!”

    “Uh,” Stede looks up to see leather and purple and strikingly tumbling hair. “Hi. Stede Bonnet. Blond guy?”

    “Yeah man, I’ve seen you in the shop, I call you Blond Guy in my head. Good to have a proper name for you, Stede. I’m Ed.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of the best modern AUs. There's angst, and it's realistic. There's lust, and it's realistic.

    Self-discovery, the recognition of another like you, the stress and trauma of repressing yourself for so long...done beautifully.
