Summary
Stede Bonnet is a knight at one of the fairy courts, where he spends most of his days appreciating flowers and tootling about hating himself. When his father announces a plan to make Stede finally useful to his family for once, Stede comes up with the perfect idea to escape the life of courtly drudgery that's been laid out for him: he'll embark on a quest to slay the dragonfly menacing their kingdom, just like heroes in his stories. Along the way, he accidentally rescues a burnt out brigand who's been thinking about packing it all in. After their disastrous encounter with the dragonfly, they discover an even bigger threat to the fairies -- a rival kingdom preparing for war, with a mysterious ally on the inside. Trapped in the middle of a conflict they want no part in, they have to learn to escape the stories they've told others about their lives -- and the stories they've told themselves.

Summary
When the zoo finds itself in the path of the hurricane, Ed and his panther find themselves sheltering in place with the strange keeper and his twenty flamingos. Ed's been fascinated since he first saw Stede, but will proximity spark something more between them?
“Arthur, where are y— Ed!”
It sends a thrill through Ed to hear Stede’s tone change from its previous exasperated tone. It shouldn’t. Stede sounds like that about everyone. Stede sounds like that about the slightly dry tuna mayonnaise sandwiches at the monthly meeting.
“Hey.”
Stede is wearing his zoo-issued polo, of course, the logo new and crisp, barely out of the plastic wrapper, and his khaki shorts are pretty standard, but his wellies are nearly the same pink as the flamboyance of flamingos trailing behind him, with added sparkle.
Ed doesn’t smile when he sees them. The corners of his mouth might turn up, but that’s different. He’s been away for a month and he’s missed anyone being so inescapably Stede, with his flamingos gathered around him loosely, and lovingly eyeing the feed bucket he’s carrying.

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
At nearly 50 years old, Stede Bonnet inadvertently ends up at the Winter Olympics, the sole competitor for Aotearoa New Zealand in biathlon. With barely three weeks notice, he’s out of depth and worries he’s not adequate.
Ed “Blackbeard” Teach won 13 medals in the Summer Olympics for AoNZ two decades ago. Someone thought it was a good idea to bring former athletes to the Winter games—so here he is, taking selfies with figure skaters, going viral with the curlers, and freezing his ass off on the skeleton track. The media may think Stede’s got no hope, but Ed finds him fascinating.
When Stede and Ed meet, the connection is instant. But as Stede’s events loom, will he be able to compete at the Olympic level? Will he disappoint his crew and his family back home? Worse, will he disappoint Ed?
(Spoiler alert, no. Ed’s all in.)

Summary
Ed returns to the ship, wears the sackcloth and bell, abides the rules (mostly), but grapples with identifying his emotions and stilling his mind and body long enough to self reflect. Patience is needed in adjusting to his new place amongst the crew, patience he's never had, including with his self-imposed rule of taking things slow with Stede.
An exploration in differentiating a sense of guilt and fear of ostracization, with a hefty dose of deep yearning.

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.
