    Summary

    “Yes,” Stede says, sitting up a little taller on his bar stool. “I would love a drink.” He holds out his hand. “I’m Stede.”

    “Stede,” Mr Gorgeous Brown Eyes says. “Unusual. I like it.” And Stede likes the way his name sounds on the man’s lips. “I’m Ed.”

    Ed’s handshake is firm, his fingers warm and a bit calloused, the leather of his fingerless gloves smooth and soft. Stede’s eyes are drawn to the tattoos circling his arm as the handshake lingers maybe a bit too long.

    Summary

    “Hey, so, those two, right, they get together in the end?” Ed asks.

    “I would protest spoiling it, but I think it's rather obvious, isn't it?” Stede says. His nose wrinkles as he smiles. “The tension is certainly there from the beginning. It just takes them a while to get there.”

    “Good. Would have been a shit story otherwise."

     

    Former local grunge legend Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard of Blackbeard & the Krakens, has fallen on hard times. Following slanderous accusations from ex-bandmate (and ex-lover) Calico Jack, Ed is blacklisted from all his usual venues. His career is over, and, so far as he’s concerned, so is his life. He spends his days wallowing in a dingy Seattle apartment, fighting with his manager and bemoaning his loss of purpose.

    Enter one Stede Bonnet, Ed’s obnoxiously loud next-door-neighbor. Stede Bonnet is an overly enthusiastic playwright who cares way too much about Shakespeare and writes like a dandy from the 18th century.

    He’s the most interesting thing to happen to Ed in years.

    [COMPLETE!]

    Summary

    Ed never thought he would find his wordkeeper. No one alive would dare say the words inscribed on his hip to him. Not at first meeting. And not if they wanted to keep their tongue. But then Izzy comes back with a message from a new guy on the scene, calling himself the Gentleman Pirate. A message that matches his wordmark. And for the first time in so long, Ed feels intrigued. And then Ed feels a whole lot more.

    Too bad he has no idea that Stede was too delirious when they met to remember Ed's first words to him.
