    Summary

    Lucius didn’t respond, only set another perfect roll next to Stede’s leg and lit his own. “S’ready for you when you want it.” But Stede hadn’t finished his first yet. He wasn’t sure if he wanted another, like one would be fine but two might kill him if he thought hard enough about it. Stede swallowed as he looked down at it, then took another deep breath, took in the smoke while using Lucius’s breathing exercises from class. “Even if he does look like he could kill someone, I kinda don’t mind.” Lucius snorted.

    “Hm?”

    “I mean, come on, he is a bit of a looker. Even a totally straight man could see that.” He gave Stede a certain look when he said that, and it set a sinking feeling in his chest only for a second before he shook it away, like when you wake up feeling like you're free falling, and it’s terrifying for a split second before you’re just left feeling a bit heavy.

    OR

    Stede joins a yoga class taught by Lucius where he meets Ed. This, of all things, sends him into his mid-life crisis.

    Summary

    Stede, a history professor specializing in the golden age of piracy, is fascinated when art professor Edward Teach joins his humble university’s faculty. Even more fascinating are the rumors that Ed is actually the famous, anonymous artist, Blackbeard. Stede falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.

    Across the academic year, Stede tips headfirst into dizzying romance, mind-blowing sex, and happiness he couldn't have dreamed up if he'd tried. He learns lessons he never knew he needed, forcing him to reevaluate everything from his career goals to his relationships with his children. Ed is at the center of it all, teaching Stede at every turn exactly how wonderful life can be—and the startling speed with which fear and hesitation could snatch away his newfound love.

    Eventually, the only thing that matters for them both is learning enough about love to stop it from slipping through their fingers.

    Summary

    Stede and Ed agree to take Alma and Louis on board to let Mary and Doug go away together. Izzy is not best pleased, but when Alma decides that Izzy is the best, and that in turn Stede is the worst, Izzy finds himself trying to convince Alma that actually Stede is pretty great.
    But life aboard the revenge is much too ridiculous to let Izzy get away with that, and with seagull eggs, feral kittens, drawing lessons, sword fights, light stabbing, and other definitely-child-safe activities keeping him entertained, Izzy almost doesn’t notice his feelings about the co-captains are changing.

    Summary

    Badminton’s words echoed through his mind, and how they were so very true, how he really was a useless little fucker who couldn’t even keep the world’s most fearsome pirate straight.
     

    But… he deserved happiness. Both him and Ed. And what was being pathetic if it meant they were happy?


    The one where Stede goes to Ed. And then they go to his family.
