    Summary

    KF: An international trail of bodies. Millions of dollars. A sealed court case.

    KF: This grisly tale is not for the fainthearted.

    KF: Join me, Kathy Ferdinand, on my first foray into true crime podcasting. And what better case to start with than that of the Butcher of Baltimore?
    ___

    When Nathaniel Wesninski is the subject of a tell-all true crime podcast, the world latches onto the story.

    Unbeknownst to everyone, Nathaniel is alive and well and living as Neil Josten. His main priority is protecting the fragile peace he's built for himself– Kevin and Jean both have a lot to lose, and Neil isn't about to be the reason their lives are ruined.

    Meanwhile, Andrew Minyard is about to be alone for the first time in years: his brother's leaving for med school and Nicky's in Germany. He has no intention of starting a relationship– at least, until he meets Neil Josten at his old coach's birthday party.

    It's immediately evident that both of them have secrets. And, when the clues start falling into place, each becomes more fascinated with solving the mystery of the other.

    Summary

    “Bless your heart, you really are new to this. Good for y’all, though. I’m glad this ship is… accepting.”

    Eddie straightens in his seat. “What does that mean?”

    All four wince as a young man taps the microphone onstage.

    “Testing, testing,” he jokes. “Welcome to the Cruisin’ Couples Trivia Tournament!”

    The patrons around them cheer. Eddie digs his nails into Buck’s skin harsh enough to make him wince.

    “Oh,” he breathes. “This is for couples.”

    or: After getting dumped, Buck is left with two tickets to a weeklong cruise. Eddie steps in to support a friend in need, but complications arise when his friend becomes his fake husband. All's fair in love, war, and trivia.

    Summary

    It unravels, somewhere between a strawberry milkshake and a burger that drips grease onto the Formica table, when Christopher says:

     

    “I have to go to church on Wednesday.”

     

    Eddie pauses with a fry halfway to his mouth and dripping in ketchup, and glances over the table at him. “On Wednesday?” he repeats. “For what?”

     

    Chris shrugs one shoulder. “There’s a-a healing service.”

     

    Eddie slowly sets the fry back down on his tray as Christopher takes a bite of his burger. “Healing service,” Eddie says. He’s trying not to jump to conclusions— really, he is, both because he wants to give his parents the benefit of the doubt and because if this is going where he thinks it’s going, he might actually lose his mind.

     

    “Yeah,” Christopher says. “It might be a good idea.”

     

    or: eddie goes to texas and finds that the situation is worse than he'd thought.

    Summary

    So in the middle of Eddie’s dining room, with his brain to mouth filter non-existent (as per usual), Buck blurts out, “Marry me.”

    Eddie sits straight up, looking at him with eyes wide as saucers.

    “Excuse me?”

    “W-well, just think about it. If we get married I can add you and Chris to my insurance policy and that solves your problem.”

    Eddie’s mouth forms a perfect little ‘o’. Buck waits patiently for the floor to open up and swallow him whole.

    When the ground doesn’t do as he’d hoped he realizes he has to say something else. “Obviously, w-we don’t have to,” he’s quick to assure. “But if we did it would be platonic, of course, because you’re straight and–” he pauses, praying for another rogue stroke of lightning. Anything to put him out of his misery right now. “-and like I know that I’m bi now, but this wouldn’t be like that y’know? It would just be two friends helping each other out.” He’s rambling, the words won’t stop tumbling out. “Like a friends with benefits type situation! E-except you know not those kinds of benefits! Like actual benefits! Health and dental.”

    or,

    Eddie is moving to Texas, losing his insurance, and marrying Buck all very heterosexually and platonically.
