    Summary

    Edward Teach is an astronaut famous for his long solo flights for NASA. Three years into his longest mission yet, he receives a strange transmission from an unknown source: a mysterious alien named Stede. Neither NASA nor the US Space Force is interested in tangling with an alien threat, so when Ed goes AWOL to find Stede, he’s suddenly at odds with a lot of powerful people. Ethnolinguist Izzy Hands—Ed’s old flame— and NASA’s rogue Mission Control crew are left scrambling to save them both.

    or, a Steddyhands monsterfucking AU in space.

    Summary

    Izzy works hundred hour weeks, wakes at dawn and sometimes before, has four different monitors aside from his laptop at work and at home each to keep everything neat and separated and so he can work from either place, subsists on five coffees a day - black with two extra shots at 7 am and 2 pm and with one cream the other three times, occasionally sleeps from his office’s pullout couch with the blanket he has stashed there to save himself a commute, and is probably single handedly responsible for keeping the bodega around the corner afloat with how much of their ready-made food he eats.

     

     

     

    -

    Israel Hands has been Lead Engineer for Blackbeard Tech for a decade. Everything in his life is neatly regimented until Stede fucking Bonnet and his team get foisted on them and Izzy's fired.

    He...definitely knows what to do with all this time he suddenly has. Obviously, he's going to...pick up a hobby, or something. That's a thing people do, right? Pick up hobbies?

    (Aka Stede accidentally smashes a questionably intact marriage and then glues it back together)

    Summary

    The woman’s lips lift into a smile that crinkles against her blue eyes. A light dusting of freckles spatter over her long nose, her skin tanned with a long day of working in the sun. “You rode her hard. I was watching.” She hangs the tack on each piece’s designated hook on the wall before taking after Venny with a brush. “I like that in a woman.”

    Heat shoots through Stede’s cheeks so suddenly that she’s very thankful for the low light of the barn as the sun sets behind them.

    “Yes, well,” Stede stammers. “Anything worth doing takes work.”

    -0-

    Stede meets an infuriatingly intriguing stablehand at her new horse's lodgings. Neither of them are what the other expects.

    Summary

    The man beside him shifted, digging the metal cuff further into Izzy's wrist. His arm was warm; his voice was infuriating. He had not stopped talking since Izzy woke up with a splitting headache, no weapons, and no way to escape.

    "This is unbelievably rude," said Bonnet.

    Izzy and Stede are seized off the street, handcuffed together, and held for ransom. Together, they must figure out how to escape before they can be used as bait for Blackbeard's capture.

    Summary

    A sharp sting bursts through him. Ed gasps, lungs burning with relief, and his vision clears. Izzy—the real Izzy, the living Izzy—steps in front of him, blocking Ed’s view of the corpse with his own shoulders. He keeps his left hand raised, clearly ready to slap Ed again.

    “Are you with me, Edward? I need you to focus.”

    “I killed you.”

    “No, you stabbed me in my fucking sword arm, remember? That’s why I need you to be alert.” Ed looks down, where the knife is still embedded in Izzy’s bicep. He did do that. He hurt them both.

    OR; the one where Edward has to murder his way through nine different Izzies to protect the one that matters.

    Summary

    “You didn’t have to wait up,” he says, just like he does every time he returns to the cabin after a late watch.

    “We know,” Ed replies. “We wanted to.”

    He hesitates, pipe poised at his lips. Izzy himself very much hopes to find someone awake when he finally slinks into the cabin on late or difficult nights. It’s harder to convince himself he’s not wanted when dark eyes crinkle and light up upon seeing him peek into the room.

    “It’s nice to have something to look forward to,” Stede mutters, and god-damn him.

    Bonnet was a testament to the brutality that accompanied vulnerability. The man was ruthless with his sentimentality, knowing exactly where to slide the dagger home for the most damage without even trying.

    Smoke stutters from Izzy’s lungs. “Yeah,” he rasps. It’s the closest he’ll come to an admission tonight.  

    _______

    Izzy comes off a miserable late-night watch. A man used to surviving grapples with the opportunity to thrive.

    Summary

    It’s humiliating enough for his feelings for Edward to be called love. Love is soft and sentimental, all kittens and perfume, and what Izzy feels for Edward is more akin to the way a ship needs the wind and the waves, no matter how roughly they beat at its sails and hull.
    And don’t all sailors succumb to the sea eventually?
    His grip tightens on the oars. No. Fuck that. If Bonnet is what it takes for Edward to ride out whatever storm Blackbeard has become, Izzy will deliver Bonnet to him.

     

    After Ed, grieving and angry, banishes Izzy from the Revenge, there's only one thing Izzy can think of doing to earn his forgiveness. Unfortunately, it's going to involve spending a lot of time with Stede fuckin' Bonnet.

    Summary

    Izzy rolls over to face the wall and tries to breathe deeply, to compose himself before Ed gets back, but the lump in his throat keeps him from filling his lungs. He wonders, suddenly, whether it’s possible to die from getting a tattoo, or from forgetting to breathe, or from someone not kissing you when you really really want them to.
    His chest spasms and he curls in on himself, gasping and coughing until he feels something fall out of his mouth and into the palm of his hand.
    It’s a rose, pale pink and freshly opened, more delicate than anything he’s seen since they last docked in a port with a bakery selling fancy little cakes to rich toffs.

    Summary

    “So, you’re into other alphas then?” Ed asked and Stede felt his heart stop. They continued looking at each other for a moment, Stede’s mind racing as he tried to comprehend how that would even be possible. Alphas didn’t even like to be friends with each other and besides, neither of them would want… did Ed want-
    Suddenly, Ed laughed and Stede found himself joining reluctantly.
    “Should have seen your face, man,” he laughed. “Could you imagine?”

     

    Stede is thrilled when he gets his dream job working as a publisher. Even better, he gets to work with his favorite smut writer: Blackbeard. Meeting Blackbeard in person turns Stede’s world upside down and as he helps “inspire” Ed’s smut novels, he begins to question everything he thought he knew about himself.
