    Summary

    “I hate to say it,” Oluwande broke the quiet. “But maybe Jim’s right. Not that there’s nobody out there for you––I’m sure there’s someone who shares your inclination for show tunes and cashmere––but that you might need a… confidence boost.”
    “What do you mean?” Stede asked.
    “Somewhere, there’s a person out there, god rest their soul, who’d be ecstatic to date you. You just need the self-assurance to see that, and maybe if you got a bit of practice dating-wise, you’ll start to view it that way too,” Oluwande explained.

    A lot has changed for Stede Bonnet over the past year. He's discovered that he's gay, amicably separated from his wife, and founded a (soon-to-be) hopping gay bar. He's garnered many new experiences as of late, but the one thing he hasn't been able to track down yet is love. Burned out on dating apps, he takes his worker's advice and seeks out companionship of a sugaring kind. However, Edward Teach seems to be so much more than he had bargained for.

    Summary

    Ed has a mostly work-from-home office job. He is rich and successful, but he hates it. And it’s not the job; he just hates working. Always has, always will. A bright spot comes into his dreary, digital world when a new coworker, Stede Bonnet, shows up on screen during a biweekly committee call. A work crush might spice things up. But before he can act on said crush, Ed has to figure out if Stede hates working as much as he does. (An office AU but not a "The Office" AU.)

    Summary

    And what's important to understand is that boredom doesn't work the same way for Edward Teach. Other people, when they're bored, get a little restless, a little frustrated maybe, but it's not the end of the world.

    For Ed, boredom is the end of the world.

    At least that's what it feels like. When Ed is bored—as in, capital B Bored—all his senses malfunction. The touch of a fine fabric is the same as the touch of splintered wood. He can no longer taste the sugar in the marmalade he slathers on his morning bread. The salty scent of the ocean air is absent. Every sound is too abrasive, even if it's something he usually enjoys, like the sound of Frenchie strumming his lute, or the crew chattering and giggling.

    Also he can no longer see color, and that's the worst of all.

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet and Ed Teach are falling in love. The only problem is Stede Bonnet and Ed Teach also happen to hate each other.

    (It’ll make sense when you read it, promise.)

    Modern AU where these two lunatics own rival pirate themed theme parks at the English seaside. Unbetaed.

    When Ed first hears about the new gay bar in the area, he doesn't put much thought into it.

    But whatever he'd been expecting, it wasn't this.
