    Summary

    LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
    1971 - 1995

    This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

    PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

    Summary

    " Guillermo met his eyes across the courtyard, and for a moment the human was grave and resolute as a warrior in battle, resigned to his fate yet defiant to its circumstances. For a moment Nandor imagined this meeting as the start of a war rather than a courtship, and for that moment he felt as if he'd found his footing again.

    But then the human had done something outrageous.

    Then the human had smiled. "

    In the end, when all was said and done, the marriage of Nandor the Relentless and Guillermo de la Cruz would be remembered as a pivotal and defining moment in the history of human and vampiric society alike.

    In the beginning, however, it was mostly just a mess.

    Summary

    Guillermo de la Cruz cares about a lot of things. He cares about his mother, he cares about public transportation. He cares about the fight for unions, the way Nadja taught him how to braid, the record Laszlo gave him, the office supplies Colin brings him, the soft curl that escapes Nandor’s updo when he’s had a harrowing day. He cares about the stupid glitter portrait, he cares about his mini fridge, his crucifix, his coffee mug, he just. Cares. Guillermo de la Cruz cares. It’s what has made him a good familiar, a great bodyguard, an unflinching friend.

    So that’s what he does. He cares. He cares when Nandor lets blood flow into Gail’s mouth. He cares when he hits his knees and pulls out that stupid fucking ring. He cares when Gail says yes.

    He cares. He cares. He cares.

    Summary

    The guard posted on their barracks gives Ed a weird look as he sneaks back in that night, almost like he wants to bolt. It's not entirely unexpected--though the rest of these idiots may think he's tamed, this one has sound cause to think differently--but the back of his neck prickles a warning at that look of terror all the same.

    There isn't much he needs to collect, and he'd packed most of it up before leaving to acquire a dinghy. No sense being weighed down with obvious proof he means to escape. Stede's bunk is already empty, of course, the man himself led off by the guard outside half an hour before, but this is Stede. Best if Ed checks for himself to be sure he didn't leave behind anything important.

    Like his stockings. And his shoes. And every fucking thing else save the piss-poor clothes the quartermaster gave him. What the entire fuck?

    Summary

    He reaches out to poke Ed in the chest, and grins as he huffs a laugh. “Look at you! All this tension in your muscles! You’re all wound up. You’d feel more yourself after a nap. Less tense.”

    Ed arches an eyebrow. “There’s lots of ways to feel less tense.”

    “And this is one of the easiest ones. No effort required! All you have to do is lie there.”

    “Doesn’t sound that different to some other ways.”

    “You could use my bed, if you like?” Ed falls abruptly silent as Stede beams up at him. “It’s very comfortable. Cosy! I reckon you could really relax in my bed.”

    Summary

    As the blade pierces him, Ed thinks in a moment of seeming delirium that any sane man’s natural defenses would crumble to sand if a star was plucked directly from the sky and given to him wrapped in silk and cashmere, ever-glowing and warm. (It’s a miracle the world hasn’t caught up enough to fall in love with Stede yet. Selfishly, he’s glad for it.)

    Summary

    Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.

    — Zora Neale Hurston

    Summary

    Ed comes looking for Stede when he doesn't show up at the dock. When Chauncey shoots Ed, Stede has no choice but to take him to the one place where there's actually a chance they might not be immediately killed or captured: the house he once shared with Mary, Alma, and Louis.

    (In which there's a lot of hurt/comfort as Stede tends to an injured Ed, Stede and Ed grow closer as they deal with the various forms of guilt they carry, and Mary and Doug get an unexpected front-row seat to the unlikely romance between the greatest pirate of all time and Mary's sort-of-ex, very-much-not-dead husband.)

    Summary

    Ed didn't move except to prop his hands behind his head, seeming to give Izzy free rein to do as he pleased. Izzy wasn't fooled though. He'd been given a specific task and any deviation from it, even when Ed was this relaxed, would only end badly for them both. Oh, Izzy wanted it to end badly. They weren’t like the men who could lean shoulder-to-shoulder on cold nights, or shared hammock space easy as sharing a flask. The crack of Ed's fist was the most Izzy could hope for and if he was lucky, truly blessed for a night, Ed would strip off his gloves and land the blow against Izzy's cheek—not a single bit of leather between them.

    For a moment, Izzy considered doing something to stoke that rage... until he realized it wasn't necessary.

    The smoke must have been getting to him too. Ed's pants-leg was still drawn up above his knee, bare skin glittering like gold.

    Summary

    There were many things that the crew thought they knew about their captains. They knew that they loved each other, for one. They knew that they loved being co-captains, for another.

    But they couldn't always get them right.

    OR: 5 times the crew assumed something incorrectly about Ed and/or Stede, and the 1 time they assumed exactly right.

    Summary

    Stede's first mistake was, he realised later, assuming that the pirate crew calling themselves "the Mechanisms" had ended up stranded on a desolate little island through misfortune and not, for example, because they were a bunch of immensely irritating bastards.

     

    Or, the Revenge picks up some marooned pirates. It's an... interesting experience

    Summary

    In addition to chronicling his adventures as The Gentleman Pirate, Stede tasks Lucius with recording stories from the rest of the crew about the odd things they've seen at sea.

    As Lucius finds out, 'odd' doesn't even begin to cover it.

    Summary

    In the garden of your body, this forsaken paradise that keeps you alive, you do not know who you are.
    Sometimes you feel like Eve, extracted from your warm, soft home next to somebody’s heart for a purpose not your own, to be a voyeur to the pain of creation only after it has been created.
    Sometimes you feel like Adam, dissected by a hand that isn’t yours, parts of you pulled out and fashioned into something useful, with orders on your breath blowing dust off your dirty palms.
    And sometimes you feel like God, lonely and alone, grinding bone against bone like a mortar and pestle and hoping to plant something that grows.

    Summary

    “I don’t have to think anything! I don’t need to do anything except survive and make sure that you are alive and free at the end of the day. Because I know that’s the only way I will get out of this eternal loop. We can worry about anything else once I solve this fucking puzzle.”
     

    Ed wakes up time and time again in the sand of Blind Man’s Cove, and he’s desperate to figure out a way to get out of the time loop, preferably one that doesn’t involve having to face a Stede Bonnet that hasn’t broken his heart yet.

    Summary

    Everything about this situation was wrong and if he had to admit that maybe the pretty idiot Ed chose to care for was a good and needed influence, that maybe sometimes love wasn’t something you stopped believing in along with fairies and sirens, then he’d do it.
    He would put the broken man he loved back together to give him another chance at happiness, even if it killed him.

    Summary

    Six months. It had been six months and by now a reunion is in the cards if they play them right. The problem is, one man is seemingly broken beyond repair, the other man is hopelessly optimistically in love, and both are gearing up for a fight they’re not sure they have the strength to fight.

    Stede wants to believe that the man he loves is still there somewhere, and Blackbeard wants nothing to do with weakness and feelings any longer.

    There is only one promise from Blackbeard, as he stabs his dagger into Stede’s shirt and ties him to the post tightly, “I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.”
