    Summary

    He can’t do this, Ed thinks wildly; he can’t keep cutting away at Ed’s defenses with the lightest presses of fingers and lips, with words softer than silk and sweeter than honey. He can’t pretend Ed isn’t a terrible, broken thing, ready to shatter at the slightest suggestion and slice open everything around him on the jagged shards. He can’t just fucking love him like this, not after everything he’s done and everything he hasn’t. He can’t, he can’t, he can’t—

    But he does, and Ed is running out of ways to stop him.

    Summary

    Stede, a history professor specializing in the golden age of piracy, is fascinated when art professor Edward Teach joins his humble university’s faculty. Even more fascinating are the rumors that Ed is actually the famous, anonymous artist, Blackbeard. Stede falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.

    Across the academic year, Stede tips headfirst into dizzying romance, mind-blowing sex, and happiness he couldn't have dreamed up if he'd tried. He learns lessons he never knew he needed, forcing him to reevaluate everything from his career goals to his relationships with his children. Ed is at the center of it all, teaching Stede at every turn exactly how wonderful life can be—and the startling speed with which fear and hesitation could snatch away his newfound love.

    Eventually, the only thing that matters for them both is learning enough about love to stop it from slipping through their fingers.

    Summary

    From ourflagmeanskink:

    "While wallowing in misery after the breakup, Ed gets drunk and has a one night stand with a woman in port who happens to be a mermaid.
    Go nuts with the specifics of the lore on this one, but human male + mermaid relations = pregnancy for the human dude. Whoops. Just what he needs!"

    Summary

    Stede placed his gentle hands over Ed’s, looking into his soul with stern but sincere eyes.

    Ed ripped his hands away, as if he’d been burned.

    He was no longer in control, in the same way that months ago Izzy had attempted to touch him the same way. While Izzy and Stede could not be more different on the surface, both of them had a way of ripping away Ed’s layers, and breaking down his walls. Regardless of either of their intentions, it all felt the same, helpless, humiliating, and raw.

    “Don’t touch me. Don’t ever fucking touch me. Not again.”

     

    The notion of love was never welcomed in Ed's mind. His father sure didn't love him, and his mother had only whispered it to Ed when she thought he was asleep. It was a weight he carried through the decades, after awhile, after all he had done, the worry of those words ceased to exist, considering no one could ever love him anyway.

    Then, Stede came along, and turned Ed inside out.

    Summary

    "Does anything about my appearance strike you as familiar Mr. Teach?" Danford asks, as if Ed hadn't just asked a question, moving aside the bowl to sit down on the stool. "Or my name?"

    Ed squints at him. "Nah, sorry, mate."

    Danford nods, a hand slipping into the pocket of his apron once more.

    "That's about what I expected. Not that it would change matters if you had, I just imagine that these proceedings might make more sense to you. Call this...a reckoning if you will."

    Or: Before Stede and Ed can reunite after the academy, Ed is captured by a privateer with a personal grudge.
