Summary
It all started at the barbecue.
Elizabeth let herself get tipsy, because she’d thought her son was leaving, but now it turned out he was staying, and his love had travelled through time to be with him. Sure, there was physics involved—half their friends were physicists and the talk around the grill was the most confusing mishmash of jargon and slang she’d ever heard—but there was also the business of travelling through time.
So she allowed herself a couple of extra cocktails. Difficult to resist, when Ed and Stede’s friends also seemed to be adept at well-mixed drinks. “Foghorns” featuring dry ice, shaken up by Jackie, and “lighthouses” featuring flames, mixed by John. Some of their friends were meeting each other for the first time, but already they seemed to have inside jokes and a familiar shorthand among them. And they folded Beth without question into all of it.
But Beth was too used to holding back to really let the drinks get to her head; neither she nor Ed ever did that, not with the memories they shared.
Sort of tipsy, sort of not, she went to answer the doorbell the next time it rang. There stood Ed’s colleague, Professor Zheng Yi Sao, and...someone else.

Summary
Stede meets new neighbour Ed on an ordinary afternoon when he has to take a wrongly delivered package next door. By the end of the day, he'll be a changed man. By the end of the month, he'll hardly recognise his life.
~
Ed moved into his new place after a nasty breakup, and the guy next door turns out to make it all worthwhile, once he figures himself out. But even if he keeps coming back, he always leaves Ed's place and goes back to his wife, and Ed's so tired of being second best.
This time, he's willing to play dirty to get what he wants.

Summary
Edward Teach is the master woodworker on The Repair Shop, a show where people bring personal treasures that need some care and attention to get back to their former glory. He's been doing it for years, and he's bored. That is, until he is given a new project, a broken model ship owned by a man Ed's heart seems to recognise. While repairing the ship, he reforges a bond he didn't know existed.
—--------------------------------------------------
"Hello!" Ed started, hoping muscle memory would kick in. "Welcome to the Repair Shop. What have you brought in for us to look at?"
Stede smiled, but Ed could see he was just as nervous as Ed felt. Stede stepped forward and lifted the sheet off the item Ed had been imagining for the last twenty-four hours. Ed gasped at the reveal. 'Model ship' didn't quite cover it.
