Summary
Ed Teach is having a hard time. Burnout, that's what they're calling it. Ed calls it drowning. But an unexpected knock at the front door brings Ed face to face with the most beautiful man Ed's ever seen — a man in search of his missing pet tortoise.
A plan forms in Ed's mind: Find the tortoise, snag the man.
Easy, peasy, pudding and fucking pie.

Summary
Ed doesn't celebrate Christmas but makes it a point to go to his favourite gay bar every year on Christmas Eve, and its charming owner seems to make an equal point of staying open every year. Maybe this year, when its just the two of them and their far more perceptive daemons, they'll work up the courage to get to know each other better.
Written for OFMD JanuAUry Day 1- with the prompts 'daemons' and 'small business'.

Summary
When the zoo finds itself in the path of the hurricane, Ed and his panther find themselves sheltering in place with the strange keeper and his twenty flamingos. Ed's been fascinated since he first saw Stede, but will proximity spark something more between them?
“Arthur, where are y— Ed!”
It sends a thrill through Ed to hear Stede’s tone change from its previous exasperated tone. It shouldn’t. Stede sounds like that about everyone. Stede sounds like that about the slightly dry tuna mayonnaise sandwiches at the monthly meeting.
“Hey.”
Stede is wearing his zoo-issued polo, of course, the logo new and crisp, barely out of the plastic wrapper, and his khaki shorts are pretty standard, but his wellies are nearly the same pink as the flamboyance of flamingos trailing behind him, with added sparkle.
Ed doesn’t smile when he sees them. The corners of his mouth might turn up, but that’s different. He’s been away for a month and he’s missed anyone being so inescapably Stede, with his flamingos gathered around him loosely, and lovingly eyeing the feed bucket he’s carrying.

Summary
Stede Bonnet boards a flight to Honolulu for one last family holiday before he and Mary quietly end their marriage. Instead, a hijacking leaves both pilots dead, armed men outside the locked cockpit door, and Stede alone at the controls of a Boeing 737 he has no idea how to fly.
Hundreds of miles away, air traffic controller Ed Teach becomes the only voice Stede can trust. With more than a hundred lives depending on them, Ed must talk him through turning, descending and landing it—one switch, one breath and one increasingly intimate radio conversation at a time.
Somewhere between the Pacific and the runway, terror becomes trust, trust becomes intimacy, and the man guiding Stede home begins to sound like someone he cannot bear to lose.

Summary
“Stede,” Ed said slowly, and even to his own ears he sounded a bit faint, “why do you have a llama in the living room?”
Stede closed the front door behind him with a sigh. “Actually, Jeff’s an alpaca.”
Felt like that was sort of missing the point here, but sure. Ed would play ball. “Okay. Stede, why do you have an alpaca in your living room?”**
Other guys have their mid-life crisis, they buy an irresponsible sports car. But Edward Teach—formerly one of the greatest Formula 1 Drivers of all time, now Just Some Guy—already has a sports car. Actually, he has six.Ergo: Ed buys an irresponsible hobby farm instead. Weirdly, this does not fill the hole in his heart.
But his highly neurotic rescue dog and hot new vet boyfriend might...
If Stede would fucking call him back.
