Summary
Ed plays a record for Stede
***
Friday, February 1st, 1980
When the elevator doors open on the 7th floor, Stede can hear music, a bass groove with bright synthesizers over the top. It gets louder as he walks down the hall toward 717. Ed's already home, then. -

Summary
Ed's tattoos have stories to tell.
----
“Now, close your eyes. Try not to think about anything.”
Stede wonders what kind of game this is, exactly. Ed’s skin is warm as ever under his hand and it’s silly, but he fancies he can feel the small crosses and pin-prick stars as warmer still, heating up against his palm.
The pulse in Ed’s thumb beats in time with the pulse in Stede’s wrist.
Ed starts to hum. It’s a low rumble, gently swooping between deep tones; the design under Stede’s hand gets hotter and hotter. It feels red and sharp. Stede feels the vibration of Ed’s humming inside him as though it’s coming from his own chest.
Stede’s eyes are closed but he sees—feels—knows the room around him is receding. The walls are rushing away. The gentle rocking isn’t the Revenge riding the ocean swell, but their bed floating amongst waves. He can smell a sharp sting of salt and feel a biting wind on his cheeks.
Ed speaks, but the humming doesn’t stop. “Can you see it?”
He can.

Summary
Izzy is finishing college and has to take a literature class for a requirement. As he works through a course project on Barthes’s A Lover’s Discourse, he is forced to reflect on love in general, love in the time of the HIV/AIDS crisis, love between trans and cis people, gay love, and—ultimately—his love for Edward. Written as extensions of fragments from A Lover’s Discourse, other readings Izzy does for his project, and drafts of his project.
Part of the North Star series I’ve been working on—an AU set in Minneapolis, initially centered around a gay bar called Jackie’s Place in Bottoms Up.
Fic is complete.
