    Summary

    Astarion doesn't know how to ask for what he wants. Gale doesn't know what to offer. Together, they figure it out.

    this takes place at some point before the last section/+i of my other fic "cutting through the cracks of the concrete" but this can generally be read as its own post-game thing. individual chapters will include any additional content notes as needed!

    Summary

    "You know, nine out of ten tagalongs end up getting their own. And I bet,” Sylvain emphasized, slowly tugging the portfolio book so it was back in front of Felix, “that I can convince you.”

    Felix cast another half-hearted glance at Annette, who was somehow still not done with the receptionist (on closer inspection, Felix could see why, hearts practically blooming from her eyes as she stared at the other girl showing off her sleeve), and shoved his arms tight over his chest.

    “Fine. You have thirty seconds.”

    Felix is offered a consult he can't refuse.

    Summary

    Summary

    Izzy still doesn't precisely know how to feel about work this morning, but it's somewhere between scorn and dread.

    He's already encountered the new General Manager's influence; Edward's unilateral decision last week to change his signature block to read co-General Manager, for fuck's sake, which Izzy had had to push back on. Izzy's also had actual contact with him; brief, over Teams. His impression of the man wasn't precisely flattering.

    Day one of the High Income Tax Policy and Enforcement Branch, and Izzy doesn't really have any idea what to expect.

    Israel Hands has been the Executive Officer to Edward Teach, General Manager of High Income Tax Enforcement, for a long time. He knows this job, he knows Edward, and he knows how to keep his life separate from work - for the most part.

    And then the branch is restructured to include Stede Bonnet, General Manager of Tax Policy, and his team of fucking clowns. Suddenly Izzy has two bosses, irritating coworkers, and a rapidly disintegrating line between the personal and the professional.

    Not to mention Edward's behaving more erratically than usual.

    (It's a romcom).

    Summary

    “I own Queen Anne’s Tattoo and Piercing,” Ed says. “It’s nice to meet another queer shop owner.”

    “Oh! Oh, actually, I’m not a member of the LGBT community myself. Just a—” Stede’s eyes drift to Ed’s mouth, noticing, for the first time, a silver stud on his tongue. Stede swallows, hard. “Passionate ally. Um. Would you like a pronoun pin?”

     or: the one where stede considers himself the token straight in his all-queer friend group…until he meets ed, a handsome tattoo artist, at a pride event. fake-dating shenanigans ensue. this one goes out to everyone (me) who was a suspiciously enthusiastic #ally before realizing that……..oh.

    Summary

    1718. Still the Golden Age of Piracy.
    Now free from his old life, Stede Bonnet, aka the Gentleman Pirate, set course for his ship, his crew, and a life full of adventure alongside his newfound love, Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard.
    Things did not go as planned...

    (Or my humble take on what could happen in season 2, directly following that heartbreaking finale.)

    Summary

    What if Ed didn't go full 'Evil-Ed' post Stede? How would Izzy react to an Ed that still wasn't quite right even though Bonnet was gone?

    What would it be like if they thought Stede Bonnet was fucking dead, but then he wasn't?

    What if Izzy wasn't just a weird little guy?

    This fic is the slowest of slow burns. It was intentionally written to build gradually as a cohesive narrative that expands over time because you can't get a good emotional release without FOREPLAY. All characters eventually come into play.

    Ignore the scary chapter counts, they are less than 2k words each, and most are significantly shorter.

    I'm not over tagging this jawn because I don't want to spoil it. Seriously, where's the fun if you know half of what you can expect from the tags alone. Don't you just want to let a story unfold, friend?

    There will be no themes of sexual assault/violence in excess of the show.

    Themes include: grief, loss, guilt, forgiveness, hurting people you love, healing, backsliding, childhood trauma, consent, power dynamics.

    Fuck counter: 542 fucks (I mean the word. They haven't fucked 542 times. That would be ludicrous)

    Summary

    When Stede Bonnet's new bride is kidnapped by a motley gang of pirates, the only clear option is to suck it up and go after them! It's not his fault if along the way he learns a little bit more about himself than he intended.

    When Edward Teach, crew under the notorious Captain Hornigold, helps kidnap some rich fuck's wife, his life is changed by a silly little blonde guy with a penchant for fuckery.

    When Israel Hands is left alone, there is very little left to keep him distracted from... well, from the fucking things he's fucking trying to stay fucking distracted from.

    Summary

    “There’s a new English teacher.” Lucius was standing in front of the doors to the classroom when Edward returned from the staff room for third period. 

    “Is that right? Haven’t seen him.” He sighed, moving past him into the classroom. “Is he nice?”

    “He’s a bit mental. But like, in a cool way. I guess.” 

    Ed wasn’t really listening, rummaging through drawers looking for the A-Level scripts. “Uh huh.”

    “Jamie Ritchie called Shakespeare a slur and he took him outside and screamed at him for 12 minutes.” 

    He paused and turned around. “Did he now?” 

    --

    Ed teaches Drama at a private school for boys and does nothing else but smoke weed and rot with his best (and only) friend, Izzy. That is until a newly divorced English teacher with a passion for Shakespeare and fighting homophobia sweeps into his life.

    Summary

    "'M cold," Ed murmured, trying to curl into a tighter ball. He groaned, and then coughed a couple of times. "Hurts. Everything hurts."

    Stede couldn't breathe for a moment. "...Jesus Mary and Joseph!" he gasped out. "Ed!" He shot to his feet. "I'm gonna... stay right there, Ed!" He fled to the cabin door and burst out onto the deck, where most of his crew was now sleeping in the moonlight. "Roach!" he shouted. "He's worse, Ed's worse! Where are you, Roach, wake up!"

    Or, Ed contracts malaria.

    Summary

    Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

    This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
    -----
    “You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”

    “Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.

    Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.

    “So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?
