Author have been revealed for the cephalopartyxchange, so I can confess to link to what I wrote!

I ended up writing two stories, because I picked up a pinch hit. The first story below is light-hearted, silly, and fully consensual. It also ended up having the same title as another fic in the exchange, which hopefully wasn't too weird for readers.

My second story is (I think) still pretty light-hearted, but contains non-consensual sex. It's very much fantasy non-con of the "no, no, yes, yes!" school rather than anything realistic. If you'd like more details before deciding whether to read, just send me a message with your questions.

Another fic for a prompt from my Fall Festival Bingo card (I've decided to go with the definition of autumn as lasting until the solstice!). The prompt for this one was "Cakes and Ale," and I find myself wondering if it's the only fic in the archive tagged with both "Internalized Homophobia" and "Baking."

This also completes my second bingo, yay!

3 months of work. I . . . think I'm very proud of it? I've spent so long revising it that it's hard to say right now.

I keep thinking of tags I could add, if I did chatty wall-of-tags stuff, which I don't. Things like "way more dick jokes than I expected" and "300+ uses of the word 'fuck'" and "in some ways this is more a gen story with sex and romance in it than a pairing story" and "I swear to god it has a happy ending, just keep going" and "Ed is not a theologian" and "Ed has a bone to pick with Shakespeare" and "the untagged pairing is Ed/cake."

God, I hope people don't hate it.
