Summary
“You’ll take the vow tonight,” he said. “After that, no lordship, you, no wife, no land, no babes. This–” And he stamped his foot so that the horses tossed their heads. “The gate ‘tween all that was and the night ahead.”
“It’s just a fucking wall, man,” Lyonel said, but felt a shiver run through him all the same.
In 196 AC, a common Flea Bottom urchin is claimed by a wandering crow after being accused of murder.
In 209 AC, Lyonel Baratheon strikes a prince in defense of a common puppet girl and chooses taking the black over losing a hand.
In the shadow of the Wall, at the end of the world, the two of them meet.

Summary
After revealing to his ex-wife that he has a boyfriend, Stede ends up promising to bring him to the Christmas Eve dinner they always have together – Stede, Mary, her new husband, and the kids.
Problem is, it's a lie. Stede has never been more single. And now, he needs a plan. Or rather, four plans.
Plan A: Find a boyfriend before Christmas Eve.
Plan B: Find someone to pretend to be his boyfriend before Christmas Eve (Lucius will jump in, if necessary, but Mary sort of knows him, so it's not ideal).
Plan C: Pretend to break up with non-existent boyfriend right before Christmas Eve. The pros are possible sympathy points, the cons are the non-zero chances that Mary will figure out there never was a boyfriend in the first place.
Plan D: Come clean.Stede really doesn't want to do plan D.

Summary
Ed picks Stede up at a bar for what ought to be a one-night stand, but it turns out they're attending the same academic conference the next day.
“Yes, please, a – Loose Cannon, did you say? Really, how charmingly nautical.” There. Words. Sub-optimal words, but words nonetheless. He grins, aiming it toward the stranger while taking him in in smaller doses. Leather boots, faded, artfully ripped black jeans, a purple cropped shirt under a silky, billowy black – kimono? Overshirt? Facial scruff. Lots of hair, salt and pepper, pepper only just winning out, for now. Tattooed knuckles, forearms, collarbone. Earring, silver stacking rings on most fingers, a nose stud that somehow softens the whole, well, lewk and – okay, he’s staring. He stares some more as the man reaches to accept his own drink, revealing more tattoos up the arm and an inch more of skin below the crop top. The stranger makes some obscure gesture to the bartender, then meets Stede’s eyes, which he worries might actually be protruding from his skull, like a cartoon. AwOOga.

Badgerette's summary:
Ed Teach has worked at the Bridgetown Kindergarten only for a month, but he’s already made his mark on the place. For one, instead of the Daffodils or Baby Seals, he’s renamed his group the Buccaneers, and instituted a new tradition for them – Pirate Fridays.
”You’re just asking for complaints,” Izzy grumbles at him during their lunch break. ”Giving tots sticks and letting ’em charge at each other – someone’s gonna lose an eye.”
”Never did me any harm.”
”It’s not the fucking seventies anymore, Ed.”

Summary
“So, first,” Ed began, holding the karate belt up and folding it roughly in half, “you’ve gotta make sure you’ve got it symmetrical. Then you start from the front. Mind if I—?”
“Not at all,” Stede interrupted, lifting his arms reflexively as Ed moved the belt toward his waist, thumbs just brushing against his hips before they disappeared behind him, fingers trailing around the circumference of his body. Oh, God. Ed was… embracing him. Why was this so bloody unnerving?
A modern AU retelling of Our Flag Means Death in which Ed is a master Tang Soo Do instructor and Stede is a divorcee history professor who is taking his kids to Ed’s class.Story complete, with some fantastic cover art posted on chapter 1!
I hope you'll check out my Blackbelt podfic (performed by me! complete!)

Summary
Ferrying contraband alcohol from the islands to the dry wasteland of the States had made Edward Teach a rich man, but he's starting to get sick of the daily grind. Enter Stede Bonnet, a fancy sort of egg who would look more at home in a garden party than loading a boat with crates of juice--and who's determined to learn the trade from the best, namely, Ed himself. A deal is struck: Ed will teach Stede the ways of the Caribbean bootlegger if Stede shows him how to fit in at the swankiest parties. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“Oh, Ed. What are we going to do with you?” Evelyn propped her elbow on the table and her face on her hand. Her earrings were bright green, peridot maybe, and they looked incredible, glimmering like spring. Ed never had a sister.
“Put me in a bag and shake me up? That’s what my mum used to say.” She’d never actually done it though. Maybe she should’ve, might’ve shook something loose. Done them both some good.
Ed is possibly having a small midlife crisis. He's dealing with it pretty well, until he meets this blond guy outside the library.

Summary
It’s almost like a tale that Ed is composing in the midnight hours. He wonders how it will end. He wonders if anyone would entertain a story about a pirate and his gentleman.
For years, Edward Teach dreamed of a young blond man with shy smiles and a wild, ridiculous nature. They could never speak to each other, but in the long run it didn’t matter. They could touch, they could feel. Then the dreams stop, and Ed is left adrift.
Were they dreams if Ed can remember the soft skin of the other boy’s hand in his? Is it real if his only friend is someone he met in solitude?
