Summary
For nearly a year, Stede Bonnet has been preoccupied with one particular sexual fantasy. Mary doesn’t want it, Stede does, and eventually he arrives at what seems like a perfectly practical solution: one anonymous encounter with a stranger, purely to satisfy his curiosity, after which he can put the whole thing behind him and get on with his life.
He thinks it's an excellent plan.

Summary
I like to say we live in the moment.
It’s a little joke, see, even if it’s not very funny. You always laugh anyway.
I remember all your laughs. A fresh set to go with every new place.
This one’s got laugh lines deep enough to get lost in. I know, because I have.
Gotten lost, that is.

Summary
It's fine that he's married—until it isn't. So Ed takes off on a train for points west to collect himself, and collect wisdom from some old friends, sending dispatches back home to Ma in the form of pithy postcards he finds along the way.
Basically: sometimes you have to leave just so you can come home again.

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.

“Thought you were” —kiss— “still mad at me.”
“I am,” Ed says, his mouth moving to map hot trails down Stede’s neck. “It’s just… this whole older man taking responsibility for his shitty actions thing is really doing it for me right now.”

Summary
“How – uh – how big. Is big.”
“Too big for you,” Stede dismissed easily, with a little chuckle.
And Ed couldn’t help get his hackles up at that, because he’d always thought of himself as a bit of a dick connoisseur, actually, and he didn’t like the implication that he wasn’t. “How do you know that?” he demanded.
“Well, because I’ve seen what human penises look like!” Stede exclaimed. “Trust me, you couldn’t handle it.”
“Stede,” Ed scoffed, folding his arms. “I’m a marine biologist. I can handle anything.”A fic in which Ed discovers that his merman boyfriend has a hidden merman penis, and insists on conducting some thorough biological research. If you catch my drift.

Summary
In all his years with Hornigold's Circus, Ed has never had such a distressing season. The cause? Newcomer Stede Bonnet, with whom he has to share his wagon.
The problem is not that he doesn't like Stede – no, it's that he likes Stede a bit too much. And when Stede asks Ed to teach him his most popular trick, sword swallowing, new opportunities arise...

Summary
Stede had found the place. At first, Ed thought it was an opium den, and his resolution of no more drugs suddenly seemed moot. But when he entered the establishment he realized it looked more like a brothel, and a very fancy one. Expensive furniture, rich glass panels, art on the walls.
And a lot of horny people.

Summary
Even Stede’s composure was slipping, his breath ragged. “Such a sweet little kitten for me.”
Ed squeezed his eyes closed as a wave of pleasure shivered through him at the words. Made his stomach clench.
Because fuck.
Look at him, bent over a table, getting railed so tenderly he cried.
Fuckin’ Blackbeard was someone’s sweet little kitten.
The thought took him totally by surprise, and Ed came on the spot with a gut-wrenching sob.
And that was. Well. That was something he should probably unpack at some point, right?
**
Historically, Ed has not enjoyed it when people want to fuck Blackbeard. Not just fuck him, but fuck him. To be the person who gets Blackbeard on his knees. To make the legend beg, make him whimper and cry.
And then came Stede Bonnet.

“You’ve had quite the attitude tonight, Ed. I think perhaps you need something to remind you how to be on your best behaviour, am I right?”
Oh, fuck yes.
“I mean, I guess it’s only fair, yeah."
