Summary
“But you admit it! You did tempt me!”
“I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”
He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”
“Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”
or, an examination vis-à-vis food and forgiveness

Summary
After Aziraphale leaves, Crowley carves out a life of his own.
“On Sundays, he goes to pub trivia night. It doesn’t escape him, the irony of a demon having a place that he attends like clockwork on the Lord’s Day of Rest”

Summary
It's the 1970s. Stede ends up as the leftover one at a key party. And he's okay with that. Really.
Banter. Tender gay awakening. Jello salad. Fluff.

Summary
Upon returning to The Revenge, Stede fights for his life in the marketplace of ideas, joins the war on piracy on the side of the piracy, fits more cast drama into a two-man show than the rest of the Caribbean combined, and finally experiences the inherent eroticism of having a rival. All of these are the same thing.
Or: Ed saw the potential for a talent show, said “Why are we even being pirates?” and didn’t wait for an answer.

The Truth Remains by WanderingAlice

Summary
Raphael had been the third angel ever created, and he’d raised himself first with Michael’s clumsy help. Then he’d turned around and raised three more siblings, and loved them all so fiercely it hurt. He'd loved Aziraphale too, more than either of them really knew.
And then, he fell. He lost everything. The bond he held with his siblings was ripped away, leaving an aching, empty void. And while he still has Aziraphale, the angel doesn't recognize the archangel who taught him how to care about the Earth. And Crowley refuses to tell him who he was, or how Aziraphale's voice is the one thing that can soothe the ache in his soul that wants, so badly, to feel a connection again.
A story through the ages as an angel and a demon come to terms with their shared past.

Summary
The Revenge spots a drifting, seemingly abandoned ship. Is it haunted, overrun by demons, or full of vampire-mermaids? Probably none of the above, Ed and Stede think, though some of the crew have different ideas. There does seem to be something wrong about that ship though. It warrants some investigation.
This is a ghost story/horror genre (not too scary) multi-chapter story set in the wonderful Co-Captains time before everything went to hell. This story is now complete.
--
Ed cracks a most delightful grin and puts his hand on his heart. “Tell you what, if I die before you, promise I’ll come back and haunt the fuck outta you, mate.”
“That would be absolutely lovely. Thank you.”
Ed laughs again and Stede watches his face light up. His eyes are adjusting to the dark, and he can see the outline of Ed’s features again, and can catch the flash of white teeth. Stede could swear that when Ed tosses his head laughing, the faint light from the moon and stars flows like water through the silver in his hair.

Summary
“One might think that living a cursed existence is a bad thing. Objectively so, some might say!” Stede turned on his heel, coat swishing out dramatically behind him.
“One might also assume that being made to walk the earth - er - one little isle of it, for all the days and nights thereof ever and after and so on to be a miserable existence. And they may be right to say so! But!” Here he turned to his audience, “What’s the difference between a curse…and a blessing?” He looked enquiringly around the little beach. None of the animals strewn about it appeared to be listening.
“Anyone? Swede?”
The sea lion shrunk back a little guiltily, not meeting his gaze.
“Black Pete?”
There was a rude short from the scraggly hound.
“No one? Really?” Stede sighed. “Alright. The secret is…perspective!” He made a little flourish. “Ta da!” There was a despairing whine. He chose to ignore that.

Summary
“Would you like a tour?” He asks, glancing at the crowded room. “I do not want to butt in on any of their games, so I was going to wait until the next round.” Anton blinks again.
“Yeah, sure,” he says, a little apprehensive about being alone with a vampire so soon, but he has a gut feeling Viago isn’t going to hurt him. Viago’s nose twitches.
“I won’t bite,” he says, eyes shining with mirth, his fangs glinting their contradiction as they tease over his bottom lip in that strange little smile.
“You can’t just smell my emotions, man, that’s cheating,” Anton accuses, but he’s fighting a grin. He grabs a beer from the cooler before following Viago out of the room.
"Like you are one to talk."

Summary
"She's taking it hard," Buttons says. He shakes his head, slow and sad.
Right. Olivia. Of course she is. Dead husband. Whole thing. Killed Jack, which you'd think would be enough to cheer anyone up, but maybe seagulls are sensitive.
"Yeah," Ed manages. "It's hard. Losing someone like that."
"Aye. But the community's pulling together. Nigel's set up a rota so she doesn't have to fish, and Young Billy's fixed up her nest something lovely. That was always Karl's job, god rest him."

Summary
“Anyway,” he continues, “then Ed — that is, Blackbeard, bent over me and said—”“Do the Blackbeard voice!” Wee John exclaims.
“He does voices?” asks Finn, in an awed whisper.
Wee John scoffs. “Of course he does voices. He’s our captain.”
Well. Stede can hardly disappoint, then. He clears his throat and thinks of Ed’s voice: its lower pitch, roughened with a hint of rasp, the heavier tongue that drags his vowels and thickens his consonants. “The Gentleman Pirate, I presume.”
In which Stede accidentally convinces the pirating world that Gentlebeard (or Blackbonnet or Stedward; there's a poll) is canon, reunites his crew, and gets his boyfriend back.

Summary
Stede spreads his hands in front of him, and Louis and Alma both grin up at him. “Do you remember the stories I used to tell you about those fearsome pirates who lived out at sea? And, remember how I told you I went on adventures with Blackbeard? Well—”
“Mom already told us you married Blackbeard,” Alma cuts him off, taking— Well, taking the wind right out of his sails, as it were.
“Alma,” Mary hisses at her. “Don’t interrupt y—”
“No, no, that’s fine, it’s— It’s fine, really,” Stede says. “I was— I was, admittedly, a little excited to tell you, but— That’s fine, honestly, we—”
“No, no, do it anyway,” Mary encourages him.
or: louis, alma, mary, and doug spend four days and three nights aboard the revenge, stede's families become one, and his entire heart combusts in the process.Series

Summary
Ed is doomed, from the very first moment.
Something about Stede strikes him in his soft underbelly, his guts harpooned, twisted beyond all healing. He goes from feeling separated by a veil to achingly, terrifyingly present. He's caught in a maelstrom of Stede's smile, his funny little high society stories and the glint of his lovely eyes.
A story of Ed and love.

Summary
Stede knows from experience, from a sword piercing his side for far too long, how it feels when your skin starts trying to heal around a blade, when you know you’re going to have to tear it open again, when its only crime was just wanting to save you.
And maybe Stede isn’t some nightmare pirate, and maybe he’s not the vision that Blackbeard inspires, and maybe he’s not scary. Maybe he’s not made of smoke, with glowing eyes; maybe he’s not a hero, or a villain, or anyone but some poor shit who thinks he knows what he’s doing when nobody really ever knows.
But he knows two things: he knows that he will kill for Ed; and he knows that this man knows that, too.

Stede Bonnet has always been able to rely on his ability to bring one thing into any relationship he might try to have: money. After faking his death, he no longer has that.
What he does have is a burning need to treat Ed right, once he catches up to him.

Summary
Ever since David came to live with his father, their relationship has been polite but distant: his father is always working, and David still sort of thinks of him as Charles Xavier, The World’s Most Famous Telepath, a larger-than-life figure he first saw on television five years ago.
But when the grandmother David never knew existed calls and demands to meet her grandson, a harrowing weekend trip reveals how much he and his father don’t know about each other—and alters things between them in ways he never would have predicted.
