Summary

Summary
Ed Teach is a certified star in the ballet world. His name on a poster can sell out tickets for an entire show's running easily, which is why returning to the stage after being signed off work for a year with a knee injury is particularly daunting. Ed has a legacy of his own creation to live up to, and he's determined to show everyone that his star hasn't dimmed while he's been unable to perform. He can't let anything distract him, least of all the new handsome blonde dancer at his company.
Stede Bonnet is a household name in the ballet world, but that's because he's the son of famous ballerina Sarah Bonnet and wealthy 'patron of the arts' Theodore Bonnet. Everyone has an idea of who Stede is before he even gets a chance to show them. And what he wants more than anything is to prove himself and show that he's not some little rich boy nepotism baby who bought his way into the big leagues.
However, ballet can be a cutthroat world, and when strange occurrences keep happening as the company prepares to put on a production of Swan Lake, the question has to be asked of just how far someone will go to reach the top.

Summary
Ever since their chance meeting thanks to an impulsively booked trip to Finland, Ed and Stede have never been happier. Some people might think that they went too fast, with Stede moving to Finland to be with Ed and the two of them getting engaged after knowing each other less than a month, but they're far past listening to what anyone else tells them to do. They know they're soulmates, and they have a home and a happily married life together and are still going strong a year and a half after they first met in a snowstorm rescue.
But married life presents its own new set of challenges, things that Ed and Stede have never navigated before. Up until meeting, they were both used to being alone, and as they grow and learn now both as individuals and as a couple, they discover that life doesn't stop after the happily ever after.

Summary
Stede has always longed to see the Northern Lights, but never had the chance to go during his marriage as Mary hated vacationing anywhere cold. With his father’s retirement looming, Stede only has a small window of time to achieve his dream before he’s tied down to his responsibility to the Bonnet family legacy. He sets out on an impulsive and woefully unprepared trip to Finland to see the Northern Lights and perhaps discover something about himself along the way.
Edward Teach moved to Finland years ago for a change of scenery and to get away from… well, he doesn’t like thinking about it. His tour business is successful, and he’s proud to earn a living showing off all the wonderful things about the place he calls home now. Although, maybe, if he’s being honest, he’s just a bit lonely? Still, no time to dwell on that since it’s his busiest season, and one of the best times of year for his biggest moneymaker - snowmobile tours to view the Northern Lights.

Ed & Stede's "Get-Along" Kidnapping by ratherthepoint
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
10 Sep 2022

Summary
“Don’t be such a spoilsport! I’m just going to saw myself free, and then I’ll do you, and we’ll come up with a distraction - some sort of fuckery, I’m rather good at them now - something to make them look the other way, and we’ll slip over to the side into a dinghy and row away.” It’s not a perfect plan, but Stede thinks it’s rather good given how little time he’s had to come up with it.
“That’s the stupidest fucking plan I’ve ever heard,” Ed says flatly. “You’re just gonna row away? Middle of the ocean, nothing to see for miles, and you think they’re not gonna notice you rowing away?”
Stede stops sawing at his bindings to snap, “Then you come up with a plan!”
- Or, tfw you get taken hostage but the ex you're still in love with is tied next to you and he wants to talk about your feelings
