Summary
Clearing his throat in a way that managed to be both nervous and prissy at the same time, Stede began the speech he had gone over so many times last night Ed practically had it memorized. “Now listen everyone, I imagine that you’ve been able to feel that something has been out of sorts the last few weeks. We wanted to bring you all here to talk, and to let you know that, well, some things are going to be changing around here. This isn’t anyone’s fault, and we of course still care for each and every one of you very much - “
“Are you breaking up again?” Lucius interrupted, throwing Stede off his rehearsed lines.
“I - what?”

Summary
Mary Morstan - a good name for a good life, all things considered. But there have been other names, and other lives, and sometimes those many pasts prove difficult to leave behind. There were many miles before Mary Morstan found herself on English soil in a comfortably English life, and the mission that brought her there nearly proved the breaking of her.

Summary
Even if this was legal, even if there was nothing technically wrong with what he was doing he knew that if he were caught, or if he were seen by someone he knew, or if he were found out in any way the shame would never, ever die. What would his regiment say? What would his family say? What would anyone say if they discovered that John was currently in a cab on the way to pick up a male prostitute for the evening?

Summary
If you had asked John this morning what the result of his quiet afternoon at home would be, discovering a truth about Sherlock's past startling enough to shift the foundations of their friendship would not have been his first guess. So naturally, that was what was bound to happen.

“I could help you, you know,” says Ed. “Like, the reinventing yourself bit. Or figuring it out.”

Summary
Prince Stede of Bonnet is en route to be married to the King of Low when his ship is overtaken by pirates. Stede offers himself up to the Dread Pirate Blackbeard in exchange for freeing the rest of his people. He does not expect Blackbeard to propose marriage as a part of their agreement, but if it is a choice between the kind of monster Ned is and the kind of monster Blackbeard is, that is an exceedingly easy choice to make.

Summary
Edward Teach is a pop star about to embark on his latest tour when he develops vocal nodes. Stede Bonnet is the voice specialist who treats him. Sparks fly.
“Right. And could you please describe your singing voice to me? Or sing something you feel showcases your voice, if you feel comfortable. For my usual clientele, I’d suggest their go-to audition song, but I don’t get the sense that you do much auditioning.”
There’s a long pause during which Stede takes note of the guy’s eyes. Not a literal case note, that would be inappropriate. His eyes are large and brown and expressive, quicksand eyes. Eyes a person could get lost in. Right now, they’re slightly narrowed at Stede. He seems to decide something.
“Listen,” the client says. “I appreciate you not wanting to make it weird, but I promise I’m used to it.”
“Used to it?” Stede asks, and there go the eyes again. Stede has the oddest sense of being taken apart, exposed, like the recurring dream he has of walking through the halls of his secondary school without a single stitch of clothing on, down to the same vague, unsettling sense that it should be more awkward than it is.

Summary
Edward Teach and Stede Bonnet are truckers, hauling goods along the 5, the 99, and much of the west coast. They've also been hooking up here and there whenever the opportunity presents itself and have become quite close to one another. The only issue? Stede has a wife and kids at home and not a lot of will to leave.
-----
"Stede could practically feel a line being crossed, a tide turning. Arranging phone calls just wasn’t a done thing for casual fucks. For good friends, sure, and Ed was the best friend he’d ever had, probably, but this wasn’t just to catch up or shoot the shit— this was because they missed each other, missed the cozy little bubble of intimacy they’d built up over the months, missed making the other laugh and then moan in the same breath. This was something new.
