Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
-----
“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

Summary
“Would you like a tour?” He asks, glancing at the crowded room. “I do not want to butt in on any of their games, so I was going to wait until the next round.” Anton blinks again.
“Yeah, sure,” he says, a little apprehensive about being alone with a vampire so soon, but he has a gut feeling Viago isn’t going to hurt him. Viago’s nose twitches.
“I won’t bite,” he says, eyes shining with mirth, his fangs glinting their contradiction as they tease over his bottom lip in that strange little smile.
“You can’t just smell my emotions, man, that’s cheating,” Anton accuses, but he’s fighting a grin. He grabs a beer from the cooler before following Viago out of the room.
"Like you are one to talk."

Summary
"The thing that fools him, just emerging out of sleep, rum-soused head aching, is the light. It’s the same dreamy half-light that he associates with a fuckery; men distrust their own senses in this kind of light and hesitate a half-second too long before a blow or a shot or a shove."
---A few weeks after he re-embraces Blackbeard, Edward Teach wakes up in bed with Stede Bonnet. Only problem? He can't remember how the hell he and Stede reconciled, why The Revenge is heading to Nassau, or anything else that's happened in the past five years.

Summary
He swings the man around and goes back in to finish his meal. Before, where he could only smell the tang of blood and the ozone of the night, there is now a decidedly heavy musk coming from Anton. It’s not unpleasant, just overpowering now that he’s close, and it makes something in Viago’s gut shift to be drinking so deeply and thinking of Anton at the same time. Life is full of intimacies, an immortal life exponentially so, but there are still some he does not like to get crossed. Two of them are friend and food.
He wonders what it would be like to eat Anton up.
(Or, they get it together, eventually.)
