    Summary

    “Do you think it always ends like this?” Stede asked.
    “No,” Ed said, and he knew that was true. “I think it usually ends happy.”
    “Lucky us, then.”
    “Oh, I dunno,” Ed said, lifting his head, not willing to deprive himself of any kisses, not now. “I’m pretty happy. We had a good go of it, didn’t we, babe?”
    “I just wish I’d found you sooner.”
    “We can make up for that,” Ed said, “next time.”

    In every version of their lives, Ed and Stede find each other. Always.

    Summary

    “Evening!” the slighter one calls out and pushes back his red hood. It’s a white man, smiling cheerfully, and the moonlight makes his hair shine. Ed’s not great at estimating a human’s age, but the man seems to be an adult in his forties. “I’m Stede, and this is my companion Oluwande. And with whom might I have the pleasure?”

    Ed blinks, looking at Jim before looking up at the blond man on horseback. His companion swears at him but pushes back his hood as well. He’s wearing an orange hat and his skin is dark. He eyes Jim and Ed nervously, but he also keeps glancing at Stede. “Sorry, you’re asking us to introduce ourselves?” He and Jim are obviously wolves. Ed’s hair might be long and curly, but he knows his ears stick out just as Jim’s, and he’s made no effort to hide his tail. And humans might not have a wolf’s keen sight, but they must’ve noticed the yellow eyes.

    “Yes.” Stede bats Oluwande’s hand away as the other man whispers something. “Olu, it’s only good manners! I lured them over for a reason!”
