Summary
One week after finalizing his divorce, Tom takes a private trip to Las Vegas at Greg’s behest, and the two of them black out for the better part of a week together. They assume they must have had a relatively good time, and each put it out of their minds.
Until a month later, when a marriage certificate arrives at Greg’s address and Tom confirms with the Nevada vital statistics that they were, indeed, married in Vegas. To each other.
This, they can’t put out of their minds, not when Waystar gets wind of it and Karolina and Hugo hatch a plan to make their idiotic mistake make sense- namely, they have to pretend they’re actually in love and act unbothered by the idea that they’re a now openly gay couple working at ATN.
However. Being a husband has some perks now and again, even with the ups and downs of their always torrid relationship.

One problem: Stede's still married.

Summary
In a world where alphas are second-rate citizens, Ed Teach, a more or less retired omega lives alone in a cozy house that is all his own. He hasn’t dated in years, not since he got out of an abusive relationship with his ex, Jack. He has some health issues that keep cropping up and he knows he will eventually have to deal with them, even if it means getting an alpha.
One day, while checking the classifieds for parts for his boat, Ed finds an ad about an alpha for sale. On a whim, he calls and finds himself with an alpha of his own in the next three hours. Stede is not what he was expecting, but there’s something about the sweet, most likely traumatized alpha that makes Ed want to keep him, even if it’s just to make sure he’s finally taken care of.
Let’s be real, they’re gonna fall in love and heal each other, and be all the better for it. ❤️
(Izzy/Lucius story in later chapters).

Summary
"And you, Bonnet," Izzy shouted, "you have the fucking gall to tolerate their disobedience as if this ship will just magically run itself! And you have the godforsaken nerve to tell me off for keeping us all afloat, you fucker, you bastard, you goddamn–"
Izzy deflated, like a balloon which had run out of air. His eyes flickered to Ed, something like panic flashing across his face, before he turned back to Stede. Surprisingly, the panic did not lessen.
Stede, arms folded, simply raised an eyebrow. In his best stern voice, the one he'd used whenever Alma was being particularly stubborn, he addressed Izzy.
"Are you done?"
In which Stede accidentally soft-doms Izzy; Edward solves his identity crisis; Izzy gets valued and panics about it; Stede invents aftercare; Ed learns to talk about things and Izzy experiences A Positive EmotionTM.
Meanwhile, the crew only cares about workshops.

Summary
In 1718, Ed waited all night on the dock, but Stede never showed. And then to add insult to injury, he went and died. Drowning his grief in rum and violence, Ed finds himself pursued by monsters, ghosts, and the British Navy.
Aboard Ed's own ship, Jim Jimenez is waiting for their chance for revenge against the people who've hurt their family, Ed included.
A chance meeting with an old rival at Ocracoke Island shifts the trajectory of all of their lives, and sends them hurtling back toward past hurts. Now they'll have to work together to come through the other side of the storm, and to build a new future from the wreckage of all they have been.

Summary
“Our First Mate is under the weather.” Stede helpfully fills in for him. “Sugar?”
“No, thank you. I’m, have I been kidnapped?”
“What? No! No of course not! Nothing of the sort!”
“May I leave?”
“Well-“
Or-
Izzy Hands takes a sword to the right side in a raid and, as science tells us, needs medical attention. The doctor they definitely don’t kidnap from a port in Trinidad is definitely not falling for Izzy, Izzy is definitely not wishing everyone would leave him alone, and Lucius is probably having the time of his life.

Summary
Izzy was a lot of things, but he wasn’t an idiot.
It had come as no surprise when he had been looking over the edge of the ship and he had seen the golden hair of Stede Bonnet in the distance. No one left Edward Teach, not willingly, and Izzy had assumed that eventually Stede would have at least come for the ship.
Ed shrugged, “glad he’s back though.”
Izzy wouldn’t admit that he agreed.

Summary
Ed Teach and Mary Bonnet get along like a house on fire, as they find out when a totally reasonable attempt to drop off birthday gifts for Alma goes off the rails. Alma gets into knives, Louis is definitely either going to invent anesthesia or become a serial killer, and Mary & Stede discover their talent for collaboration when they've got a common goal (railing Ed to within an inch of his life).

Summary
“I left them. All alone, in the middle of the night. I didn’t even say goodbye. Just wrote a ridiculous note. And now…” Stede lets out a labored breath. “They think I’m dead.”
“Fine, then I’m going with you,” Ed says without thinking. He knows the second the words come out of his mouth that it’s a stupid idea, but he doesn’t care. He’s had stupider ideas in his life, even acted on most of them. “If you have to go back to them, to check on them, or whatever, then I’m going with you.”
“Ed… that is a monumentally terrible idea,” Stede tries, voicing Ed’s own thoughts. “How would I explain who you are? Or why you’re with me? Besides, you’d be miserable. You don’t belong in that life. You’d hate it.”
“I don’t fucking care,” Ed insists. He twists his fingers up in Stede’s loose-fitting shirt, the fabric ripping slightly as he does. “I’d rather be miserable in some stupid, posh town than miserable anywhere else without you.”
...
Ed goes back to Stede's family with him and watches from the sidelines as he tries to mend what he broke by leaving.

Summary
Ed meets Stede on a beach in Barbados a month before the Revenge is finished. Ed decides that kidnapping a wealthy (handsome) man might break the monotony of being Blackbeard. Stede is a little too on board with being kidnapped.
Basically, an alternate meeting slow-burn AU, with lots of humor, hijinks, and building sexual and romantic tension.

Summary
Ed comes looking for Stede when he doesn't show up at the dock. When Chauncey shoots Ed, Stede has no choice but to take him to the one place where there's actually a chance they might not be immediately killed or captured: the house he once shared with Mary, Alma, and Louis.
(In which there's a lot of hurt/comfort as Stede tends to an injured Ed, Stede and Ed grow closer as they deal with the various forms of guilt they carry, and Mary and Doug get an unexpected front-row seat to the unlikely romance between the greatest pirate of all time and Mary's sort-of-ex, very-much-not-dead husband.)

Summary
When Prince Stede Bonnet saw his betrothed for the first time, he very nearly blushed.
Edward Teach was a fearsome thing: pirate turned warlord, scourge of the continent. He wore black armor and bristled with weapons, including his famous sword, the Queen’s Revenge. The notorious beard which had earned him his nickname was gray now, but still full and menacing. They were almost of a height, but Stede felt dreadfully small in his presence.
Blackbeard had taken one look at Stede and grunted his approval. And Stede had almost blushed.

Summary
The Revenge's latest target should have been easy. It was an unassuming vessel, not too many guns, and just perfect for a team-building exercise (and for Blackbeard to show off his pirating skills to his crush).
Nobody was counting on the fact that Stede's ex-wife and two children would be on it.

Summary
Blackbeard is a mystery-- the man behind the legend is a bit more complicated with blood dripping from his hands and state secrets to sell. He's good for nothing, a criminal who pretends he doesn't like fine things, and he's the leader of one of the world's most illustrious crime rings. To make it all worse, he's absolutely bored with all the money and power he holds, only going on raids that actually make him feel something.
When his crew recovers a human trafficking victim on a raid on cargo ship-- another path starts to open up to Blackbeard-- a path he never thought a man like him would get the chance to have. He doesn't deserve it, but there's something about this annoyingly optimistic if not aloof man that irritates and encourages him to maybe try to have the life he actually wants, a life with Stede Bonnet forever in it.
But Stede Bonnet had a life before he was taken and Ed is resolved to get him back to it, if only to make sure Stede is happy. Maybe he's utterly missing the point that Stede has started to make it perfectly clear that he'll only have a happy life if Ed is in it.
