Summary
Mississippi Delta, 1917. Twin brothers Elijah and Elias Moore navigate the brutal world of sharecropping, their lives forever altered when a violent night with their abusive father ends in blood and buried secrets.
Annie Taylor's hoodoo knowledge and quiet strength draw Elijah to her, while Elias finds himself captivated by Mary Reynolds, whose ambiguous appearance places her between worlds in ways both privileged and perilous. Through war, heartbreak, and the Great Migration, these four souls remain connected by what happened that stormy night.
Years later, the brothers return to the Sunflower River as changed men - steady, watchful "Smoke" and ambitious, charismatic "Stack" - with fifteen thousand dollars and dreams of reclaiming what was taken from them.
A prequel to "Sinners" exploring the origins of blood-deep secrets, forbidden desires, and the price of survival in the Jim Crow South.

Summary
"Blackbeard's had his turn. Tell me what Ed likes about all of this."
"Some of it's the same," Ed says, reaching past Stede to hook his fingers through the leather garters he wore that first night they went to the arcades. "How it looks, feels. How sometimes it's like a secret handshake or something. Like when you see someone wearing the same band shirt in the street and you think oh shit, yeah, the world is actually pretty small, and people share things. I always liked that."
Just two not-boyfriends trying to figure out what they like.

Summary
Stede Bonnet owns a fancy yarn shop in a cosy little seaside town. Life is mostly peaceful, a bit stressful, often lonely—then the empty shop next door is taken over by a leatherworker with kind eyes and a surprising fondness for cashmere, and everything changes.
(Fluff and sock garters and seashore walks and midlife revelations and a loophole in The Sweater Curse.)

Summary
If anyone asked, he'd deny it. But the main reason Edward Teach keeps coming back to this particular Mall Santa gig year after year is the annual reappearance of his blonde-haired, hot chocolate-bearing Christmas Angel.
For his part, Stede Bonnet is more than happy to bring drinks and snacks to the man that he's internally been referring to as "Hot Santa" for the last five years, even now that he no longer has the alibi of his children to hide behind.
Too bad that they only ever see each other once a year.

Summary
Jaded, grief-stricken rock legend Edward Teach was only trying to find a new pet. But life -- or rather the magical Lighthouse Sanctuary -- had a different plan for him. This is a tale about finding home within yourself and in the people you bring into your life, and a love so great it makes a house come alive.
Or, modern day AU slow burn featuring a pining Ed, a clueless Stede, found family, roughly a million animals, and a very magical house.

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.

Summary

Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
-----
“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

Summary
A modern AU in which Ed is a glassblower, because glassblowing is sexy. Ed/Stede medium burn, E rating applies from chapter 4 onwards.
Stede's life is boring, flat, made up of things he didn't choose for himself. He commissions some glass art from Ed as an anniversary gift for Mary, and Stede starts to learn what it is like to want things for himself.
---
“Hey, it’s blond guy!”
“Uh,” Stede looks up to see leather and purple and strikingly tumbling hair. “Hi. Stede Bonnet. Blond guy?”
“Yeah man, I’ve seen you in the shop, I call you Blond Guy in my head. Good to have a proper name for you, Stede. I’m Ed.”

Summary
When Ed moved to the Pacific Northwest to live a quiet, no fuss life, it was meant to be easy, simple. Serve bad diner coffee, try not to hit deer with his truck, hike in the mountains on the weekends. Easy, simple.
But the blonde man who sits in the corner of the his work every day, who never orders food, just drinks coffee and reads books is making things a lot less easy and simple. To make things worse, how is Ed meant to focus on getting his number when there's definitely something in the woods, and it won't leave him alone?

Summary
Islington, 1989. Stede Bonnet’s knowledge of London’s gay scene is lacking in everything but rose-tinted glasses, as he leaves his marriage to run a halfway-house for ‘waifs and strays’ in the city centre.
Izzy Hands, the best mate of Bonnet’s new paramour, has been without those glasses for years.
OR: an 80’s AU from two different sides of the coin. Also, Ed runs a Greasy Spoon café, and Lucius has a great deal of shit to outrun.

Summary
It began, as so many dreadful things do, at a party.
Elizabeth Bennet’s first impression of Fitzwilliam Darcy is… unfavourable. Her second and third impressions are hardly any better. He’s aloof and haughty and casually insulting, yet she keeps catching glimpses of something deeper in his character. Which is the only possible explanation for why she can't seem to get him out of her head.
Free-spirited artist Elizabeth is everything Darcy disapproves of, yet he finds himself captivated by her... and quite desperately attracted. Try as he might he can't stop himself from wanting her, or being drawn back again and again as she works on a mural for his new offices. He can't seem to stay away from her, or stay out of his own way in his attempts to connect with her.
When the consequences of Darcy’s actions bring the sexual tension between himself and Elizabeth to a head they both think that will be the end of it. Yet circumstances and their own desires keep bringing them together and slowly, gradually, they learn to see beyond those first impressions and forge an understanding—a new, tender understanding that comes just at the moment when Elizabeth’s family finds itself facing a terrible crisis.

Summary
There was a price for liberty. Bent feathers and broken wings. Yet, this was more acceptable to Dorcas than the cost of complacency. If Tom Riddle was to be her cage, then she would beat herself bloody against the bars of him, bending him just as surely as she bent herself.
:::
People disappear all the time. A soldier vanishes on the field of battle; missing in action. A housewife fed up with the routine of her life; runaway. A child last seen playing with his mates when the streetlights come on and dinner is laid on the table; abducted.
There’s that woman pilot who took off into the great wide whiteness of the clouds, Amelia Earhart. Or the journalist Ambrose Bierce. Glenn Miller. The Lindbergh baby.
In my fifth year at Hogwarts, a boy vanished like a puff of smoke. Callum Sayre. He dated my cousin, Gemma––had proposed, I think. She wore a ring from him, anyway. And then he was gone. No trace of him was left. He just disappeared.
But he turned up twelve years later. A black and white photograph of a dead body on a London street.
People disappear all the time. Some, like Callum, reappear.
I prayed that I wouldn’t be making a similar reappearance.
