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.

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.

Edward’s not a pirate, and he’s not a fisherman, and he’s for fuck’s sure not even a bloody innkeeper. He’s a goddamn handyman, is what he is.

Summary
Ed says, "You gotta quit beating yourself up, mate."
"I will, I will," says the guy, in a tone that implies he's going to dwell on the events of this night until the heat death of the universe.
Ed tentatively pats his shoulder. "It's really not that bad."
It really wasn't. Even if it wasn't exactly fun to walk home after work on a dull Wednesday night only to have some rando come pelting up to him yelling a name that wasn't even his: "Edgar! Edgar, I want to talk to you!"Series

Summary
“Crowley.”
“Angel.”
“What's wrong?”
Crowley fidgets. “You can be really annoying sometimes, you know that." Aziraphale holds his silence. “I’m not… hurt.”
“But you,” Aziraphale starts, then bites his lip. “You keep… flinching. Is it—has it always…?”
“What?” Crowley’s face is really so lovingly expressive. “No! No, you—you’re fine. It’s me.”
“Crowley,” Aziraphale says, exasperated, “explain.”
“I, er, drank some poison. On accident.”
“Oh! You should have told me earlier! What is it—do you need—“
“Aziraphale. I’m not dying. But I,” and he swallows, and falls silent again.
“Would you like me to guess?”
“No! How would that be helpful? No.”
“Well what is it then?”
Crowley grumbles something. Aziraphale is quickly coming to the end of his very, very long, almost endless patience—he steps forward and grabs Crowley’s wrist and Crowley makes a noise.
It all goes very still. Aziraphale stays frozen in place, staring at Crowley with wide eyes.
“Are you,” he starts.
“You’re not hurting me,” Crowley mumbles, his face in his hands. Aziraphale makes an inquisitive noise. “I said, you’re not hurting me.”

Summary
Stede seems to understand intuitively that Ed needs to be held, is practically shaking apart with the need for Stede to press them close everywhere that they can. He pulls Ed’s thigh over his own waist with strong hands and smooths his fingers along the hard muscle that runs its length, making a little gasping noise – ‘Oh, Ed, you’re incredible.’ Ed wants to scoff, because it’s just a leg, but the way Stede’s hand is stroking it, Ed believes – he believes in this moment, this reverent moment, that Stede wants him the way he wants Stede.

Summary
In the adventurer’s paradise of Aotearoa (NZ), Stede Bonnet has dreamt of being a travel guide since he was a boy.
Unfortunately, being the heir to coach tour company Bonnet Adventures means he’s doomed to a life behind a desk, planning experiences he’ll never have.
Edward Teach is what they call a world-weary traveler. Having guided nature tours in some of the most extreme environments around the world, he’s seen and done it all – and he’s bored out of his skull.
When Stede abandons his family to lead a trekking tour of the country, he quickly realizes that he’s in over his head, and looks to more experienced guide, Ed, for guidance.
Facing high-maintenance travel bloggers, treacherous natural elements and the ever-present feeling that they’ll never be enough, Stede and Ed find new purpose - and each other - on the adventure of a lifetime.

Summary
Stede Bonnet, recently divorced, returns to the town he once knew with a plan. He's got the house (older and more derelict than he remembers), he's got the bees (and the theoretical skill to keep them), and he's going to be(e) happy if it's the last thing he does. (Stede is, as it turns out, a bit miserable no matter how hard he tries.)
Ed Teach has been keeping all of his various demos at bay more or less successfully for years now. He's known as THE beekeeper in town, always meticulous, always gentle, never too bothered with rules, expectations, or protective gear for that matter. (Ed is also, no matter how hard he tries, a bit bored at this point.)Series

Summary
Ed, 43, is an ex-convict and successful artist. Stede wanders into Boodhari's gallery one day and Ed's never been more drawn to a person in his life.
Only problem is, Stede won't let himself have Ed. Stede has a secret and Ed has absolutely no fucking patience for it.
OR
Ed has a bunch of chance encounters and phone sex with some hot weirdo named Stede.“You startled me,” the man says. He's holding himself in an odd way, like he isn't afraid to fill space despite not knowing the proper way to do it. “I didn't- well, no one's ever down here.”
“No worries, mate,” Ed says with a wave of his hand. Cool. “Feel free to browse. Cut the light on your way out.”
The man doesn't move. Instead, he peers sort of suspiciously at Ed, clears his throat, and asks in a high voice, “I'm sorry, were you- were you hiding?”
“No,” Ed answers quickly.
“You were,” the man says, voice a bit more certain of itself. “You were hiding down here in the dark.”
“I wasn't.”

Summary
Stede is divorced, rebuilding a life in the UK and working at Jim's non-profit community centre. His 6-month stay is running out and, well, turns out a fake marriage is an option to stay, because tropes are fun. Ed's got his own shit going on, you'll find out more in later chapters, but he thinks a sham marriage to this weird guy is probably going to at least be a bit of a laugh. Will update weekly.
---
“No, no, absolutely not, Lucius, you didn’t tell me he looked like that!”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Lucius!” Stede hisses. “He’s gorgeous, we are not doing this!”
Lucius is saying something but Stede honestly has no idea what it is because blood is pounding in his ears and the pub has almost entirely emptied and this night has very much gotten away from him and the most stunningly beautiful man has just walked in. And Stede has had four glasses of horrible wine and god, all that leather, and Christ almighty, look at his hair. His hair.

“You’re looking for… what, a bisexual woman, right? A bisexual woman, who you’ve never met and don’t need to form any attachments to, who’s looking to get laid, who finds both you and your wife attractive, who both you and your wife are attracted to, who you can take home for a whirlwind one-night stand to spice up your marriage?”
“... Yes?”
“Yeah, we call that a Unicorn.”
