    Summary

    "The thing about love is this: it's not limited. It's not finite. You can love and love again, afterwards or alongside of, in all the different ways we've invented names for—and a lot more that we haven't. You can love fiercely and truly, if only for a while, and not diminish another love that lasts a lifetime.

    This is a story in snapshots and scenes; in a country that is now called Italy and was then, in 1476, the Republic of Florence. This is a story of sunshine, and of times that were good and do not deserve to be forgotten."

    Or, Crowley, da Vinci and not quite forty years together.

    Summary

    Ed is a wonderful houseguest. He’s quiet, and he’s tidy, and he mostly keeps to himself. He gets up with the birds, leaves half a kettle of freshly boiled water for Stede every morning, and is out of the door before Stede’s even entertained the idea of getting out of bed.

    He’s also ridiculously, devastatingly handsome.

    And therein, lies Stede's problem.

     

    or: Stede gets reluctantly strong armed into hosting a friend of a friend for a week when their original accomodation falls through. Which would have been fine, uneventful even, if his new houseguest hadn't turned out to be absolutely, one-hundred percent his type.

    Summary

    So there Ed is, in this enormous room all decked out in ivory and gold, surrounded by one-percenters and inherited wealth and fucking caviar. And he sits under a canopy of twinkling crystals, and he plays his mood music, and the room slowly fills.

    And the bride and groom are nowhere to be seen.

    Ed’s starting to feel more and more like a member of the string quartet playing out the sinking of the fucking Titanic.

    (Or: Ed's the harpist at a swanky wedding that's gone south. Stede's got his own problems. A one-night fastburn meet-cute: fluff, humour, eventual smut, and a truly obscene description of caviar)
