Summary
When the zoo finds itself in the path of the hurricane, Ed and his panther find themselves sheltering in place with the strange keeper and his twenty flamingos. Ed's been fascinated since he first saw Stede, but will proximity spark something more between them?
“Arthur, where are y— Ed!”
It sends a thrill through Ed to hear Stede’s tone change from its previous exasperated tone. It shouldn’t. Stede sounds like that about everyone. Stede sounds like that about the slightly dry tuna mayonnaise sandwiches at the monthly meeting.
“Hey.”
Stede is wearing his zoo-issued polo, of course, the logo new and crisp, barely out of the plastic wrapper, and his khaki shorts are pretty standard, but his wellies are nearly the same pink as the flamboyance of flamingos trailing behind him, with added sparkle.
Ed doesn’t smile when he sees them. The corners of his mouth might turn up, but that’s different. He’s been away for a month and he’s missed anyone being so inescapably Stede, with his flamingos gathered around him loosely, and lovingly eyeing the feed bucket he’s carrying.

Summary
Stede's father spent the last twenty years of his life isolated in a (potentially haunted) house, refusing to see his family. When he dies, Stede feels responsible for finding answers to the mystery of what spurred his father's strange behavior, hoping that time spent in the house will reveal those secrets. Only, what if it's not the house that's haunted, but rather the wood behind it?

Summary
"Wouldn't be stuck in this situation if you didn't get lost chasing a goddamn moth," Izzy grumbled as he sat down on the edge of the single queen bed in their hotel room. "Would have gotten here on time and had two separate rooms, but no, you saw some... Fuckin' dry-dryo-whatever..."
"Dryocampa rubicunda," Stede said smoothly, wheeling his suitcase in. "It was a lovely specimen and I wanted a closer look!"

Izzy and Stede bitch at each other and then fuck, that's the fic.

Summary
A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.
