Summary
Stede sits down to read his nightly bedtime story to the crew of the Revenge, only to discover that Lucius has saddled him with a particularly trashy novel in which a gentleman and a pirate begin a hot and heavy romance. Ed has been on board for several weeks, and everyone is sick of the slow burn and apparently ready to shove them down the path to a real romance by whatever means they can.
As Stede reads (and tries to work out who the author of the story might be), they'll bicker their way through romance tropes, story structures, and what it means to have a happy ending. And if by the end of this night Edward Teach isn't in Stede Bonnet's bed, Lucius will probably have to eat his match-making hat...
A hilariously silly meta love letter to Our Flag Means Death and the fanfic writing and reading community ❤️

Summary
The recovery of Edward Teach, briefly the Kraken, always the love of Stede Bonnet's life; and how he finds every fine thing in the world can be his after all.
“It’s just six weeks after they’ve left Bonnet’s little rags-and-sparkles crew behind to build one the Kraken could command, and he’s spent not one day of it sober. He’s doing the ‘untouchable legendary terror’ thing. He’s doing it no holds barred. No more dawdling around deck singing songs and telling stories; he’s made it known they’re out for blood. If he’d picked the people he thought he had, they should be drooling for it. But the crew has been giving him looks. Fang in particular—he could swear Fang almost seems sorry for him.”

Summary
Ed meets Stede on a beach in Barbados a month before the Revenge is finished. Ed decides that kidnapping a wealthy (handsome) man might break the monotony of being Blackbeard. Stede is a little too on board with being kidnapped.
Basically, an alternate meeting slow-burn AU, with lots of humor, hijinks, and building sexual and romantic tension.

Summary
The adventures of the jolly ship Revenge and the rather minimal sleeping arrangements. Well, there were bunks in the Rec room. The captain's quarters. Various couches. Secret rooms. The children's room/Jim & Olu's room. The deck.
Actually there was plenty of bedding. But Stede was still quite distraught to think that Ed might leave because the only place he could find to take his rest was the crow's nest. That just wasn't right, and Stede must do what he could to ensure that Edward was comfortable.

Summary
"Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals.
"Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!"
"What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"

In which there is a princess ("don't be ridiculous," fumes Sherlock) a prince ("Can't we both be princes?" inquires John politely.) and other forms of utter disconnect from sanity. A fairytale-ish intepretation of the tale of John and Sherlock.

Part I: Sherlock Holmes and Emotions by fennishjournal (Shimi)
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms

Summary
This is a series of meta essays about diagnosing different Sherlock characters in reference to different psychiatric diagnosis manuals (like the ICD-10, DSM-IV-TR and OPD-2). I'm a psychotherapist in training and this is basically me using my newly acquired skills to evaluate fanon (Is Sherlock a socípath? Does John suffer from PTSD?), speculate about our heroes' personalities (Why exactly does Sherlock place heads in the fridge and John put up with it?) and formative experiences (What was John's homelife like? Who was Sherlock at university?).
This Part:
What Sherlock's (in)ability to cope with emotions and relationships tells us about his psychological structure and history.Series

Summary
Written for this prompt:
"I've seen lots of mention of Sherlock's skin being cold, so I wanted to prompt the opposite. Sherlock is one of those people who is always exceptionally warm, constantly emitting body heat. (My friends and I call these sorts of people personal or living heaters.) The reason Sherlock always wears his coat is that he doesn't want people touching him for or stealing his heat. One particularly cold night, as he and John are watching a movie, John falls asleep and unconsciously moves to cuddle the nearest source of warmth, aka Sherlock. Adorable fluff ensues." -

Summary
John Watson never knew that he wanted a ‘no toast in the mornings’ normal until he realized what an honor it is to be destroyed by Sherlock Holmes.
Written for Johnlock Challenges: “The modern take of The Three Garridebs; essentially, John is wounded during a case and Sherlock loses his mind a little bit. And then gayness. Obviously that last bit is where it deviates from canon…or is it? Any rating.”

Summary
There are eleven major organ systems in the human body. Sherlock knows about all of them to some degree, but none fascinate him as much as the ones that make up John Watson.
