Summary
“We need to go in five, okay?” he says, with just a little…tap-tap. His hand, Ed’s ass. Totally innocent. Absent-minded, even. Supes caszh.
Ed’s vision tunnels.
(or: Ed will do anything in his power to get spanked by Stede. Except ask for it. He's not doing that.)

Summary
Ed Teach had made a name for himself, that was for certain; a celebrity ad man among a sea of gray suits. And that was why the suggestion to bring him in was absolutely absurd.
“He’d never work here. He’s too good, plus he doesn’t tie himself down.”
“There’s that can-do spirit I’ve always heard about!” Lucius jokes.
“We could at least try,” Jim presses.
There’s no way. “It’s not even what he does,” Stede tries to remind them, but he can already tell which way the tide is turning.
***
It's 1964, and Stede Bonnet runs a small but mighty ad firm in New York City. When their creative director suddenly quits, his agency reaches out to an unconventional replacement.

Summary
Ed opens his eyes and lifts his head back up. Lucius is standing in the entryway looking judgy as fuck, of course, but there’s another man beside him. He’s about their age, a little nervous, definitely tired – blond curls falling over his eyes, hands buried deep in his pockets. He’s wearing a plaid button down, tucked into his jeans no less. God, what a fucking nerd. Maybe it’s the punch, but Ed’s kind of obsessed with him.
***
Ed and Stede are into each other the second they meet, but it takes a few more encounters to figure out it's more than casual.

Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

Summary
Even Stede’s composure was slipping, his breath ragged. “Such a sweet little kitten for me.”
Ed squeezed his eyes closed as a wave of pleasure shivered through him at the words. Made his stomach clench.
Because fuck.
Look at him, bent over a table, getting railed so tenderly he cried.
Fuckin’ Blackbeard was someone’s sweet little kitten.
The thought took him totally by surprise, and Ed came on the spot with a gut-wrenching sob.
And that was. Well. That was something he should probably unpack at some point, right?
**
Historically, Ed has not enjoyed it when people want to fuck Blackbeard. Not just fuck him, but fuck him. To be the person who gets Blackbeard on his knees. To make the legend beg, make him whimper and cry.
And then came Stede Bonnet.

Summary
He ducks under the ridge of the skull, unclips his bow, slips an arrow into the housing, and creeps around until he has a decent view of the trail. The stranger has slowed, staring up at the leviathan as they approach, hands on their hips. Ed steps out into view, raises his bow, and pauses.
The stranger, as unknown as he currently is, is cute.
Hylian, most likely. A little shorter than Ed, but broad looking under his tunic and cloak, pack sticking up over the top of his head, and visibly stuffed with god-knows-what. There’s a physical map sticking out from one of his pockets, and leaves in his hair, and he’s clearly not been gifted with powers of observance, because Ed’s been aiming a bow at him for the best part of two minutes, and he still hasn’t noticed.
And then, all at once, his gaze drops, and his eyes widen, and he all but screams.
“I’M FRIENDLY!”
or: what if Ed and Stede just happened to be citizens in the Kingdom of Hyrule? And what if they had a serendipitous meet cute at the Great Eldin Skeleton and then fell in love? Suspend your disbelief, because this is that fic.

Really, the fact that he’s written a pros and cons list should be the biggest clue that yes, actually, Lucius really does want to fuck that old man.

Summary
“Awful,” Stede says. The water in the basin is turning cloudy with each pass in a way that makes Lucius’ stomach go cold and squeezy. “Just awful. What he did to you.”
Lucius doesn’t exactly disagree, but when he tries to think of something clever to say about it, his throat cinches up like a pulled knot. It turns out that almost dying isn't the fun party trick he'd privately always thought it would be.

Summary
“I can see what you listen to on Spotify, you know,” Lucius says, crossing one leg over the other. “You’ll have to tell me — how was ‘Sad Girl Starter Pack?’”
"Lucius, I’m doing just fine,” Stede sniffs.
Lucius says nothing, just tips his glass to finish his drink so he can use the coaster to fan himself. He lets the silence stretch until Stede’s unstoppable impulse to chatter finally wins out.
“Alright,” Stede sighs, taking a prim sip of his beer. “I admit I may be feeling a little adrift.”

Summary
So there Ed is, in this enormous room all decked out in ivory and gold, surrounded by one-percenters and inherited wealth and fucking caviar. And he sits under a canopy of twinkling crystals, and he plays his mood music, and the room slowly fills.
And the bride and groom are nowhere to be seen.
Ed’s starting to feel more and more like a member of the string quartet playing out the sinking of the fucking Titanic.
(Or: Ed's the harpist at a swanky wedding that's gone south. Stede's got his own problems. A one-night fastburn meet-cute: fluff, humour, eventual smut, and a truly obscene description of caviar)

Summary
During a raid on a smuggler ship, Ed finds a merman named Stede locked in the hold. Inspired by art by feriowind.
Inside is a tub that looks like it was cobbled together from wooden boards. And inside the tub is a merman.
He sits on the bottom of the tub, his back slumped against its wooden side. His tail is curled beneath the water’s surface, nearly tucked into a perfect circle in the cramped space. He looks pale and haggard, and there’s a shackle around his neck attached to a heavy chain in the wall.
He’s the most magnificent and most pathetic thing Ed’s ever seen.

Summary
“Yes,” Stede whispers.
Ed blinks up at him.
Too sincere. Oh god, it’s all wrong for the bit, isn’t it? Ed’s been going full hammed-up drama, and so was Stede. Until now. Dear lord.
At least there’s not an audience to see him deliver his lines so terr–
Oh.
Oh no, they’ve amassed quite a crowd, it seems.
(or: Ed proposes to Stede as a joke. A bit. A funny little prank. Haha.)

Summary
The true history:
The Pacific Clipper was a Pan American Airlines scheduled commercial flight from San Francisco, California, to Auckland, New Zealand that operated from 1939 to 1941. All tickets were first class and cost around $15,000 in 2024 US dollars; passengers ate five course meals prepared by chefs from four star restaurants. From December 1941 to January 1942, the Pacific Clipper completed an unplanned nearly around-the-world flight: the first commercial circumnavigation of the globe. Oh, also, there is an actual historical guy referred to as ‘the Swede’ who was the First Engineer on the crew.The Our Flag Means Death version:

Summary
Ferrying contraband alcohol from the islands to the dry wasteland of the States had made Edward Teach a rich man, but he's starting to get sick of the daily grind. Enter Stede Bonnet, a fancy sort of egg who would look more at home in a garden party than loading a boat with crates of juice--and who's determined to learn the trade from the best, namely, Ed himself. A deal is struck: Ed will teach Stede the ways of the Caribbean bootlegger if Stede shows him how to fit in at the swankiest parties. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Come to karaoke, Lucius had said. It’s a good crew of regulars, he’d said. It’s not officially a queer bar but it’s definitely a queer bar, he’d said.
One of my friends is one of the most beautiful men on the planet was definitely not one of the phrases he’d used to try and convince Stede to come. Might have achieved his desired outcome a little faster if that had been part of his proposal.
or: eight times Ed and Stede don't have sex after Friday Night Karaoke at Jackie'z, and one time they absolutely, definitely do.

Summary
Stede draws his attention back to the head massage, alternating pressure from the kind of bruising that’s enough to knead a migraine away, to gentle, delicate strokes through his hair. He grows almost meditative with it, forcing his eyes away from Ed’s face and simply enjoying the feeling of body heat and cool, damp-silk hair against his palms. Truthfully, he could do this for hours, rather than the usual three-to-five minutes that’s usually afforded to customers when they…
When…
It’s been longer than three-to-five minutes.
A quick glance at the clock reveals it’s been far, far longer than three-to-five minutes.
Stede doesn’t mind, obviously. And Ed doesn’t seem to be about to question it. But the snide little Lucius-like voice in the back of his mind points out that almost twenty fucking minutes is maybe a bit of an overkill.
Stede yanks his hands away from Ed’s hair like it’s covered in bleach.
“Okey-doke!” Stede manages, voice shrill and a little strangled.
From across the salon, the real Lucius snorts.
(OR: Stede's a hair stylist. Ed shows up for an appointment. And shows up. And shows up. And shows up...)
