Submitter's Notes: "This fic is so hard to describe. It takes something, glory holes, which are generally in PWP fics, and turns it into this hear breaking and heart fixing brilliant fic. Moderate angst, happy ending, modern day, podfic performed by SD_Ryan"

Summary: Ed looks down, ready to get on with things, and he startles. He’s—Stede—this fucking guy has shoved his hand through the hole in the wall, fingers lined up and thumb out like he’s—nah—he wants to—
“Are you trying to shake hands?”
“Yes, I thought—”
Ed blinks. “Through a glory hole?”
“Oh Christ,” the man allegedly named Stede says, “I’ve messed this up already, haven’t I? I’m so sorry, Jeff, just forget I—hang on—damn.”
It's a glory hole meet-cute! Multiple chapters of Ed and Stede falling in love through a hole in a bathroom wall. Sex, feelings, pining, bad decisions

Summary: “Where…” Izzy struggles to find his voice and finally manages it. “Where did you find that? Did

give it to you?” He’s having to stop himself from careening forward and ripping the shirt off Edward’s back.
He tries not to notice the way Edward’s face brightens at the mention of Bonnet’s name.
“No, it’s mine—one of my two. The other one still looks the same, but when I woke up… Look how fine this is now, Iz!”
“It’s…” Izzy’s tongue feels thick but his brain, somehow, provides the word. “

The bot will also check the "works inspired by this one" to see if there is a podfic available, and if there is it will link that too! You can search "from:@ofmdficbot.bsky.social" along with your favorite tags to see if there is a recommendation associated with that tag.

The bot is set to run periodically. It will check for the next fic in the queue and will grab a screenshot of the tags, title, author and summary. The tags and the summary are all textually generated in the alt text of the screenshot, making these searchable.

Any OFMD fandom fic may be submitted for a recommendation (non-fandom fics will be ignored by the bot). All you need to do is paste the story URL -- the bot takes care of the rest! Optionally, you can tag the author, yourself, and leave a recommendation blurb.

Summary: "So what brings you out here anyway?"
Ed's out of the blue question at least answers Stede's anxieties about radio etiquette. He pulls the walkie from his pack and stares at it, deciding how much of his life he actually wants to share with this complete stranger.
"What brings
you
out here?"
or: Stede takes a job as a remote forest fire lookout in the summer following his divorce, with a plan to find out who he is, and what he wants his life to be. With the help of the enigmatic lookout on the other side of the forest, he ends up getting more out of the experience than he could ever have hoped.
