    Summary

    Stede is a "luxury" matchmaker to rich clientele. To him, marriage is a business transaction, a contract. It makes things simpler to exclude romance from the equation. It's not that he doesn't believe in love, it just doesn't seem to believe in him. Ed is a rising star romance novelist with a painfully ironic streak of rotten luck in love. But he's not ready to give up. It's out there somewhere, maybe... probably. He hopes. When a chance encounter brings these two men together unexpectedly, they find themselves becoming fast friends falling hard.

    Mismatched is a romcom about queer joy, self-acceptance, and finding your first love when you least expect it.

    Summary

    Eventually Stede just left the house in the middle of it all. He remembers Ed calling after him. “Stede- Stede! Don’t fucking run away from me again-” But before he knew it, he was already outside and walking down the dirt road to sit down. That was about an hour ago. The sun is disappearing over the horizon now, and Stede is mentally figuring out where he can stay for the night.

    There’s no way Ed wants him back into their home. Not at this rate.

    . . .

    Stede and Ed just had their first major fight as a couple. This is the aftermath.

    Summary

    Stede pulled a face at that. “Hm, well, I don’t want to do any human sacrifices.”

    “Kinda rule number one of being in a cult,” Pete scoffed.

    “Ah! Not in this cult!” Stede beamed at him and looked around expectantly. “Remember? What’s our number one rule?”

    Roach raised his hand. “Don’t sacrifice my chicken.”

    “Not quite number one, but still high up,” Stede replied. “Swede?”

    “Stick to the chore schedule?”

    “Definitely in the top ten.” There were no more hands, and he sighed. “Come on! If we want to get a good result, we talk about it…”

    “As a cult,” the others chorused, some more reluctant than others.  

    AKA the Lovecraftian AU no one asked for!

    In which High Priest Stede struggles with nosy Badmintons, his cultists and the Spanish Inquisition. Meeting Edthulhu makes everything better. Now Stede just has to help the eldritch deity emerge fully into this world. It'll be fine! Probably!
