Summary
“...Mr Teach?”
“Mm-hm. Says right here, the substitute that covered your class yesterday was an Ed Teach.”
Stede laughs out loud.
“You mean to tell me,” he says, “that the substitute’s full, government name was Education Teach?”
“Edward, I’d expect,” says Lucius, giving Stede a look ordinarily reserved for the particularly dim-witted.
(Or: Stede has taken one day off. ONE. His classroom is a complete disaster. Who the fuck IS this Ed Teach? He can suck eggs in hell, as far as Stede is concerned. A modern-day enemies-to-lovers teacher AU, because the author is deeply self-indulgent and needed it to happen)

Summary
Sometimes it’s like Stede can read Ed’s thoughts—except for all the times when it’s painfully obvious that he can’t.
Especially the whole, y’know, Ed being in love with him thing.
Ed flicks some ash into the daffodil bed. “Thought you quit.”
“I did.” Stede says, all eyelashes and dimples as he makes a “gimme” motion with two fingers.
Ed sighs and hands over the pack and a lighter. He isn’t present as he does it, not really. He’s thinking about that other life, where Stede takes Ed’s cigarette from his lips without asking.
A modern AU based on Lucy Dacus' album, Forever is a Feeling.

Summary
To the world, the anonymous artist Blackbeard is brilliant, famous, and mysterious. To Ed, the years-long career is a crushing weight flattening him into nothing. Desperate for a change, he begins a new chapter as an art professor at a tiny little liberal arts university, where he is captivated by a history professor with an affinity for pirates.
Ed falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.
Stede is exactly the sort of person who belongs in the world of elite academia. Where Ed has never felt like more of an imposter, Stede welcomes him in with unchecked enthusiasm. He is unique, and he is dazzling, and he turns Ed's entire world golden.
And then he falls in love with Ed too, and Ed’s life begins to change.
Across the academic year, light and color flood his world, spill onto his canvases, and illuminate parts of himself he's never even dared to explore. Stede is at the center of it all, loving Ed the way Ed never knew he could be loved, teaching him how to find hope in the darkness—and how quickly the darkness closes in again when the light threatens to vanish.
