Summary
Stede meets new neighbour Ed on an ordinary afternoon when he has to take a wrongly delivered package next door. By the end of the day, he'll be a changed man. By the end of the month, he'll hardly recognise his life.
~
Ed moved into his new place after a nasty breakup, and the guy next door turns out to make it all worthwhile, once he figures himself out. But even if he keeps coming back, he always leaves Ed's place and goes back to his wife, and Ed's so tired of being second best.
This time, he's willing to play dirty to get what he wants.

Summary
In a future world where cities separate people into sky-high towers and environmental collapse has made travel impossible, inventor Stede Bonnet has been developing telepathic communication technology to bring people closer together. When he hears about an exclusive club that's using similar technology in a very different way, it just makes business sense to check it out. The fact that it's a sex club designed to read people's deepest unspoken desires and match them with aligned others, when Stede's never once felt aligned with his own wife, is incidental... until it's not.
Ed Teach built the Impossible Birds club to allow people to keep their distance while they fight their loneliness through other kinds of connection. The last thing he expected was to find a guest who matched and aligned with him, after years of hovering above it all. And the more times his anonymous guest comes back, and the more things he unlocks about himself, the more Ed can feel himself falling in a way he never planned.
But is reading each other's minds enough? This is a story about two absolutely perfect people learning to communicate in every conceivable way, in a world that's falling apart outside their dream.

Summary
Infamous thief Edward Teach (aka Blackbeard) is a hero amongst men, having devoted his skills to stealing from the rich to give back to the poor. However, every heist Ed plans is riskier than the last, and this one is no exception. With riots breaking out in the kingdom far and wide, Ed has his sights set on taking down the tyrannical king, hoping to tip the scales into full blown revolution. But he has an extremely small window of time to do it, needing to pull his scheme off before the king can secure a powerful new alliance.
With the king set to marry his son off to whichever candidate he deems the strongest, Ed's already risky plan becomes even more complicated when he poses as a potential suitor to get inside the palace. Stede, the prince, is nothing like he expected, and as Ed becomes more and more enamoured with him, he finds himself trapped in a convoluted web of lies when the king decides that 'Lord Edric' is to be Prince Stede's betrothed.

Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

Summary
Edward Teach has been a part of MI-5 for over twenty years, a ruthless agent known for closing cases no matter the cost. Through his long career, though, he's never encountered a person as strange and frustrating as the Gentleman.
The man is a ghost, a quiet hand that slices through the underbelly of the upper class through blackmail, robbery and hacking that leaves the wealthy fearing drawing his attention. Ed's tried to corner him, but every time the Gentleman eludes him in an elaborate game of cat and mouse. It's become his obsession, his calling, and for years he's remained little more than a phantom in the underworld.
Enter Stede Bonnet, a computer specialist that partners with Ed to try and trace down the digital footprints of the Gentleman. Stede's bright and brilliant, funny and uniquely positioned to understand the motivations of the upper class. He's also handsome and fascinating in a way that makes Ed painfully aware he's falling for his partner.

Summary
Alma grabs the TV remote and starts pressing buttons. The TV goes black for a split second before it goes bright pink. It takes a moment for Ed’s eyes to adjust, but once it does, Ed can feel his stomach sink down to his toes.
On the screen looks like the cover of a generic PowerPoint presentation. There are cliparts of hearts, kissy-faces, and blinged-out rings plastered everywhere. Smack in the middle are bolded white text that reads:
TOP 10 REASONS YOU SHOULD PROPOSE TO OUR DAD (STEDE BONNET): BY ALMA AND LOUIS BONNET
. . .
Ed can't imagine his life being any more perfect. He has a beautiful home, a wonderful partner, and two brand-new kids to boot. The last thing on his bucket list is to propose to his long-term boyfriend, Stede Bonnet.
The problem? Proposals are hard to plan. Much harder than Ed anticipated. And it seems like the most unexpected people are starting to feel impatient...

Summary
Stede is an ex-novice monk who has forsaken his brotherhood and freed a demon in the process—Leviathan, legendary Serpent of the Abyss, Prince of Envy, Hellmouth, Guardian of the Hellgates, and the Ending of All Things.
But Stede just calls him Ed, the love of his life.
They're finally free of the monastery, but the question remains of what to do next. Ed has always wanted to be human, but even in his explorations of Earth he hasn't found a way to change his nature. Stede would love nothing more than to be with Ed forever, to explore the parts of himself that are drawn to the infernal forces beyond the bounds of Earth, but he's limited by his own mortality.
What does forever look like between a man and an immortal demon when death could separate them at any moment? Ed and Stede will travel into the depths of Hell itself to find out.

Summary
Professor Stede Bonnet has spent his life studying anthropology with an emphasis in human sexuality, which he finds almost laughable when he spent years married to a woman before coming to terms with his own sexuality. After a divorce and the death of his father, he finds himself finally experiencing the freedom to find out what he truly enjoys. And if he's doing it with money funding his 'study' thanks to his boss, Nigel Badminton, all the better. He's spent too many years left behind, and he's done.
Edward Teach, also known as the notorious hacker Blackbeard, has settled down to teach at a local university in an attempt to switch up the monotony of his life. Instead, he finds himself just as bored until he comes across an insane Professor that apparently invites men in full leather fetish gear to his office and discusses the price of bulk lube with his TA. He's fucking fascinated and, for the first time in a long time, excited about every new day to see what the maniac will do next.

Summary
Edward "Blackbeard" Teach has been a writer for decades, and what had once been thrilling and edgy as he specialized in underground erotic short stories that fixated on BDSM, kink and exploration has become little more than a grind. And not a fun one. Living mostly anonymously through his pen name, he's had enough of a career he started out of a desire to express himself and is looking for something more.
A chance recognition in a tea shop brings him eye to eye with Stede Bonnet, a man that found himself in the pages of a book that Ed had viewed as a dead dream.
