Summary
“You’re buying those jeans, right?”
Stede’s lips make a shy little almost-smile. “I’m… considering it. Do you think they look all right?”
Fuck it, Ed decides. Time to go for broke. “Look, mate, what I think is that anyone who sees you in those jeans is immediately gonna start wondering how fast they can get you out of ’em.”Bookmarked by ladohstry

Summary
The coastal city of Warden Port is a thriving hotspot of pirate tourism, rumoured to be the death place of Blackbeard himself three hundred years ago. Legends say that as he was struck down by the heroic Prince Banes he cursed the town, vowing to one day return and swallow it whole in revenge.
Some say Blackbeard is searching for his decapitated head. Others claim he won’t rest until the city is freed from colonial rule. But when Mayor Ricky Banes unveils a statue of his ancestor defeating the notorious pirate, it sets the curse into motion and plunges the city into supernatural chaos, giving everyone a chance to find out exactly what Blackbeard is after. Guided by past life memories and half remembered dreams, historic folklore expert Stede and his friends must try and stop the curse and expose what really happened that fateful night–before it’s too late.

Summary
Stede gets a book about pirates from his brother-in-law. Inside, he finds a curious name—his name, Stede Bonnet. It's barely a mention, two measly paragraphs in a longer story about the legendary Blackbeard, with whom he apparently sailed for a time. That night, he dreams about Ed. He learns he already knows more than he'll find in any book.
And Ed? Ed dreams too. He dreams about drowning, mostly.
Until he sees Stede.
The title comes from my best girl Margaret Lanterman, AKA The Log Lady, in one of her iconic Twin Peaks episode intros: "The beautiful thing about treasure is that it exists. It exists to be found."
If you are a podfic enjoyer, you can find it here, and don't forget to leave lindie a little heart. thanks!

Summary
Ed should have everything he's ever wanted. He's finally trying to make it out of his life as legendary organized crime boss Blackbeard, but learning who Ed is after decades of being Blackbeard is harder than he'd expected. Meanwhile, Stede should be happy, but after coming out he's felt stuck in a rut, waiting for life to catch up with his dreams. When people from Ed's old life start to catch up with him and Stede accidentally gets involved, they discover that maybe they can help each other find the missing pieces they've been looking for.
A fast-burn where Ed and Stede get married right after they meet, it takes a bit longer for them to realize they've fallen in love, and they learn a lot about themselves along the way.

Summary
“You live in LA?” Stede asked, and Ed stiffened a bit next to him. Stede chuckled softly. “It’s a big place, Ed. Tonight’s just tonight.”
Ed was silent as they stepped into the elevator, and he let out a long breath once the doors slid shut on the two of them. “I like you,” he said, his eyes on Stede’s in the mirrored door. “It’s just…my life….”
Stede reached out and took his hand, giving it a light squeeze, then tugged until they were facing each other. “Tonight’s just tonight,” he said again, lifting his free hand to cup Ed’s cheek and letting his eyes drop to Ed’s mouth. “We can handle that.”
“Yeah,” Ed breathed. He leaned in and let his nose brush Stede’s, his breath a tease against Stede’s lips.

Summary
[COMPLETE]
Coming soon, a new investigatory podcast from Blackbeard and Queen Anne productions, the number one producer of true crime podcasts that get results. Menace: The Search for Stede Bonnet premiers on the equinox. A point of balance in Earth’s orbit, a level playing field as it were. But also a shift: from winter to summer in the Northern Hemisphere, from summer to winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Equatorial people you can all fuck off because you live in perfect temperatures all year ‘round.
Sponsored by Daddy’s Helper, Nerdy Pants, and the new and improved Soylent Green, how I start my day every day.
Starting on the Equinox, this podcast will shift the narrative from Stede Bonnet gone and dead, to Stede Bonnet alive and well.
Join me, Blackbeard, on this journey, to reveal the shifty, dishonest, and downright evil story of how multi-millionaire Stede Bonnet abandoned his family, his fortune, his past. Maybe we can uncover a good reason. But likely not, if experience has taught me anything.

Summary
His skin was cool, but not cold. Room temperature. Not like metal or glass, but like the other side of the pillow on a warm night. Refreshing. New. Ready to be warmed.
The eye contact was as intense as ever as they shook hands slowly, performatively. “I’m Anton,” he said, after a moment.
Viago cocked his head slightly, one corner of his mouth quirking into a grin. “I know."

Summary
The first time he fucks Stede Bonnet, Edward Teach is sure of three things:
Stede Bonnet’s mouth tastes both warm like brandy, and sweet like the flesh of an orange.

Stede Bonnet is going to be the greatest, most wonderful mistake of Ed’s life.or: Ed and Stede enter into a co-captains with benefits arrangement. It stays about as platonic as you'd expect.

“How long have I been asleep?” Stede asks him.
“Dead,” Ed corrects. “Stede, you— You’ve been dead. For hours.”
Stede stares at him from between Ed’s hands. His eyes are still just as warm and familiar and living as they’ve always been. He blinks; he seems okay; he’s alive. Or—
He’s alive enough, anyway. Ed doesn’t care about the rest.

Summary
It hits him then, like a wave breaking on sand, loud as thunder when it crashes, then trickling away into little rivulets flowing back home, murmuring one word over and over and over.
Ed.
The problem is, Stede doesn’t recall ever having met anyone named Ed.
Stede Bonnet goes home to his family, and within days of his return, starts a brawl with Mary’s new paramour. An unlucky twist of fate leaves him with a head injury that wipes the last months of his life clean. Unable to remember leaving his family in the first place, exiled by his wife for sins he doesn’t remember committing, Stede has absolutely nothing to his name. He takes to the sea, following his lifelong dream and a tiny scrap of red silk that washes up on the beach, but he doesn’t make it far before he’s captured by the dread pirate Blackbeard himself, who seems to hold the missing piece of the puzzle that Stede’s life has become.

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.
