Sharing again bc I'm proud of it! Check out my OFMD AU set in Minneapolis, starting with an Ed/Izzy fic in the 80s, an Ed/Stede SMAU set now, and ending currently with a Steddyhands get-together fic (there is also a WIP where they figure their shit out).

this is a stizzy AU but izzy didn't send the all staff email, he just told zheng he was making candles and buying lots of jars at the thrift store in the break room and stede overheard. meanwhile izzy is like. "why am i now responsible for a former rao's pasta sauce jar"
i sent my coworkers an all staff email before our last meeting that if they wanted to get rid of glass jars to give them to me for candles. now, almost every time i get to work, there's a glass jar hanging out in front of my door ><
