Summary
Stede is thirty five, never married, and convinced love might just not be in the cards for him. When his father arranges a marriage for him with Mary Allamby to cement a business alliance, he agrees, even if he fears this won’t work out. Mary seems nice enough and he’s tired of being alone.
As he makes his way from his hometown of Auckland to Perth for the wedding, he keeps bumping into the handsome but annoying Ed Teach. As misadventure after misadventure delays them both on their journeys, they finally decide working together might get them both there faster.
As the two travel across Australia, Stede starts questioning everything he thought to be true, about himself, about his life, and about just what is important to him.

Summary
Lucius really needed to be paid more if he was expected to both man the counter at this dumb coffee shop and help his two stupid regular customers actually speak to each other for once. Not that the matchmaker thing was technically his job, in fact Jackie had said specifically that it wasn’t, but the annoying blond man was so pathetic and actually kind of funny at times (although usually accidentally) and what could Lucius say? He was a philanthropist.
(He wasn’t sure if that was actually the right word for this but it sounded fancy and Lucius could stand to feel a little fancier.)
In which Lucius is a barista, Ed and Stede are bad at communication, and drastic measures need to be taken. For OFMD Fluffvember 2024

Summary
Ed was halfway through his drink when the strange man walked in like he had a million other places he’d rather be. It was obvious in his stance, the way he tapped his dress shoes and glanced down at an actual honest to god watch on his wrist while frowning like the bar had somehow inconvenienced him. Ed had been annoyed his friend was running late but now at least he had some entertainment as he nursed his beer. What was a man like that doing in a dive like this?
