    Summary

    Created with artist Avatoh for OFMD Big Bang 2023

    -----

     

    In the year 1888, Stede Bonnet, twenty seven years of age, holder of a degree in Political Economy (by the skin of his teeth and his father’s refusal to fund any further studies in Classics or History), lived life fairly well on his own terms. He was a little queer in his ideas, and in addition to the arts was an enthusiast in some branches of science. Those with a passing acquaintance, which was the most anyone would claim, called him a decent fellow enough.

     

    Stede Bonnet, tired of wasting his hours in the lonely offices of Bonnet Industrial Holdings in the bustling metropolis of Melbourne, decides to follow in the footsteps of his fictional hero and advertises his services as a private detective.

    Ed Teach, seeking the inheritance that should be his, is in need of someone to help claim his father's gold mine for the good of his whānau back in Aotearoa.

    From the moment they lay eyes on each other there's no chance they're keeping things professional. It could be a perfect detective and sidekick partnership, if they weren't lying to each other. And if they could agree on who's the Holmes and who's the Watson.

    Summary

    “Yes, I see, and Edward, I don’t mean to undermine your expertise on SharpCo’s business handlings, but isn’t that…just a Ponzi scheme? You know, one of those pyramid selling scams?”

    Ed bit back in defense, “Dickfuck, no it’s not.”

    “Edward,” Stede said, more seriously and somewhat stern, which caused Ed’s insides to turn loops. “If you drew out the flow of money at this organization…what shape would it be?

    Fuck.

     

    Ed gets caught up in a multi-level marketing scam. Luckily, one guy comes to his recruiting seminar, and he just so happens to be the most dashing man Ed’s ever seen.

    Summary

    Relationships are overrated. Probably.

    But Ed's home from grad school for a summer internship. And his co-intern Stede is... Well, he's cute. And he's eager.

    It's just a casual thing, just co-interns with benefits, right? What could go wrong?

    It’s been raining for three days. Not actually a storm, the sea is calm, but a constant drizzle that makes the ship too dark and everyone too cold.

    Summary

    Ed loves sex. Like, really fucking loves sex. Orgasms, specifically. He loves a few other things, too, but god, does he love sex.

    With Stede, though, something's been holding him back, and he can't quite put his finger on it. And after all the stops and starts, all the simmering tension between them, Ed would never have imagined that this would be what finally pushes things over the edge.

    (Or: Ed does a silly little roleplay, has some orgasms, and reflects on the things that make life worth living.)

    Summary

    Ed's tattoos have stories to tell.

    ----

    “Now, close your eyes. Try not to think about anything.”

    Stede wonders what kind of game this is, exactly. Ed’s skin is warm as ever under his hand and it’s silly, but he fancies he can feel the small crosses and pin-prick stars as warmer still, heating up against his palm.

    The pulse in Ed’s thumb beats in time with the pulse in Stede’s wrist.

    Ed starts to hum. It’s a low rumble, gently swooping between deep tones; the design under Stede’s hand gets hotter and hotter. It feels red and sharp. Stede feels the vibration of Ed’s humming inside him as though it’s coming from his own chest.

    Stede’s eyes are closed but he sees—feels—knows the room around him is receding. The walls are rushing away. The gentle rocking isn’t the Revenge riding the ocean swell, but their bed floating amongst waves. He can smell a sharp sting of salt and feel a biting wind on his cheeks.

    Ed speaks, but the humming doesn’t stop. “Can you see it?”

    He can.

    Ed's to-do list reads: Break up with shitty-ass boyfriend. Check. Quit job slash sell the bar. Check. Figure out what the hell to do with my life: still working on it. Finally fix up the house and erase all evidence of stupid fucking Jack: having someone else work on it.

    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

    "Well fuck," Stede says breathlessly, kneeling on the center of his bed with the salt canister clutched to his chest. "I didn't think that would actually work."

    "Did it?" the man asks curiously, looking down at himself and then back up at Stede. "You can see me?"

    "Yes, I believe so," answers Stede, uncertain. He flicks the canister of salt at the figure and watches as the seasoning bounces off of the man's chest and falls to the floor. "Dear god in heaven, you're corporeal."
    ..............................

    Stede's new house is apparently haunted, and when a banishing spell goes awry he finds himself in possession of one (1) new ghostly roommate in Edward Teach, the dread pirate Blackbeard who's been dead for over 300 years. And uh, he's kind of cute...

    Summary

    “Kids, Lucius! He’s got kids!”

    Lucius looks unimpressed from where he’s cleaning a margarita glass, “Okay?”

    Ed gestures wildly around, trying to keep his voice down in the mostly-empty bar, “That’s like, my biggest dealbreaker!”

    Lucius makes a face, shooting a judge-y look to Ed as he sets down the glass and picks up a martini shaker, “Damn, didn’t know you were such a baby-hater.”

    ....

    Edward Teach as never been more obsessed with someone as with his new boyfriend, Stede Bonnet. He's sweet, funny, and undeniably charming. Not to mention he's the best lay of Ed's life.

    There's only one problem: he has kids.
