Summary
Eddie always seems to just understand what Steve needs before he understands it himself, even back when they were two kids sharing a hospital room after the near-end-of-the-world. Before Steve’s unplanned train wreck of a marriage, and Eddie’s unplanned meteoric rise to musical fame. Before they somehow became unwitting best-friends, always teetering on the edge of an unspoken something more that they’ll never get to act on. Eddie just knows what Steve needs. He knows Steve.
And what if, now, after all of it, they can finally act? What if they can finally say all of the things that have gone for so long, unspoken?
In the fall of 1997, Steve's marriage falls apart around him while he tries to hold himself together for his two little girls. Luckily, he finds that he doesn't have to sail the sinking ship all on his own, and maybe its a little more water-tight than he had thought. He has people there with life-preservers, and someone important waiting to catch him.

Summary
Stede finds the house. When he comes back to their room at the inn, he won’t rest—won’t let Ed rest—until Ed’s seen it. His eyes are bright in that way that makes Ed’s guts feel scooped out with a spoon. So Ed hurries into his boots and goes with him.
The once-white paint is stripped by weather and wear, a portion of the roof is caved in, and the spokes of the wraparound porch are all gnawed through by animals.
Ed gazes up at the broken windows and the birds that have built nests there. At his side, Stede is waiting, rocking back and forth on his heels.
"It’s perfect," says Ed.
***
Or: Ed and Stede leave the island together, and they don’t look back.

Summary
Billa Baggins thought she was an ordinary, well-to-do, firmly settled and respectable hobbit lass of good family and unimpeachable reputation.
Clearly, she was wrong.
Billa finds herself swept away on an unexpected adventure with stubborn dwarves, making friends and enemies along the way. When finally her dwarves' precious Mountain is reclaimed, she thinks that she will be a settled and respectable hobbit (of sorts) but of course, nothing could ever be so simple.
Usurpation, assassination, torment and fear plague her every step. Her new family is at stake, and there's more danger than one little hobbit can deal with.- Words:
