Summary
He remembers the kindness in his mother’s eyes. “Edward, just because Pākehā don’t understand you, don’t understand us, don’t let them stop you from being who you are. What you’re feeling is natural.” At sea he felt he could be free from that kind of judgment, the chagrin of the church, but no one really wanted his love—they wanted his anger. He clinged to her red silk under so many layers of it and he always wondered whether the free sexuality and love of his ancestors could be found here or anywhere.
And then he met Stede, romantic, loving, kind, free Stede …
A collection of soft and sexy stories connected to Ed’s Indigenous identity!

Summary
She doesn’t remember her name.
Those who bother to look in her direction, those who don’t sneer or sniff condescendingly at the scrawny girl haunting the docks in the mornings and washing scratchy fabrics and clothes so dirty the water only seems to make the stains look blacker, those called her Anne.
She doesn’t remember her name.
But she remembers her home.

Summary
In a last ditch effort to save his crumbling marriage, Stede Bonnet decides to take an early retirement to focus on his family. His plan: to have a beautiful, custom tiny home built in secret to travel the country with his wife and children.
Edward Teach has been building tiny homes for nearly a decade, and after so many builds under his belt they tend to become standard and repetitive - until an inquiry comes in asking for the most ridiculous, expensive, and quite possibly impossible request he's ever received.

Summary
Lover’s Marks, it said on the otherwise bare cover, and Stede’s danger-naive heart thudded loudly in his chest. The font was a faint cursive, as if written in one go by someone with a shaky, lustful hand. It felt illegal just to crack open the thing, but when he flipped through the pages, he found a fiction, a tale of love and forbidden attraction between a man and a woman borne with each other’s first touches. The imprints of the other’s hands appeared in their teen years, as if scars from fateful occurrences that had not yet come to pass. And when they finally met, the marks began to fade, but not before passionate love was made, the likes of which made Stede blush, and heat, and return to his room and his opulent bed with thoughts of rough, callused hands and warm, soft touches.
Stede nearly forgets about it, a faint whisper of a disallowed memory, until a few days before his sixteenth birthday.

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?
