Summary

Stede is everything he was back then, and Ed falls just as hard this time. The only problem: Stede doesn't remember 1717.
And neither does Ed.

Summary
To the world, the anonymous artist Blackbeard is brilliant, famous, and mysterious. To Ed, the years-long career is a crushing weight flattening him into nothing. Desperate for a change, he begins a new chapter as an art professor at a tiny little liberal arts university, where he is captivated by a history professor with an affinity for pirates.
Ed falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.
Stede is exactly the sort of person who belongs in the world of elite academia. Where Ed has never felt like more of an imposter, Stede welcomes him in with unchecked enthusiasm. He is unique, and he is dazzling, and he turns Ed's entire world golden.
And then he falls in love with Ed too, and Ed’s life begins to change.
Across the academic year, light and color flood his world, spill onto his canvases, and illuminate parts of himself he's never even dared to explore. Stede is at the center of it all, loving Ed the way Ed never knew he could be loved, teaching him how to find hope in the darkness—and how quickly the darkness closes in again when the light threatens to vanish.

Summary
The day they get married, the things he knows about Stede could fit on a post-it note.
First: he’s fucking rich.
Second: he needs a husband to stay that way.
Third: he is built like a brick shithouse. Pretty eyes, nice hair. Penchant for weird socks.
(Or: 5 times Ed doesn't tell his husband he loves him, and 1 time he does.)

Summary
When Stede meets a startlingly well-dressed man at an otherwise rather tacky Sexy Santa Night at the bar, he quickly develops one objective: hold this man's attention by any means necessary. Even if it means pretending to be terrible at pool.
Despite Stede's ruse, Ed might just see him more clearly than anyone ever has before. And Stede might be getting some life-changing Christmas wishes granted tonight that he didn't even know he had.

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
Ed does not dream. He doesn't wake in the night, doesn't hear or see the shifting around him. And he never, never dreams.
Until one day, he does.
Ed lives in the mansion, where the wind always whispers and the sea always waits. As things begin to change around him, he has to hold onto the unshakeable truths: his room is safe. The skies are empty. Belongings disappear in the night. And he has always lived in the mansion.
Or has he?

Summary
Ed's minding his business when the new neighbor's kid comes around holding a human puppet. It's creepy as hell, but as soon as the kid's father rounds the corner, Ed doesn't mind.
ETA: Podfic available here from Kninjaknitter my darling dearest
“Hello,” says the strangest voice Ed’s ever heard, jolting him out of his reverie, sending his heart speeding into chaos.He opens his eyes and he’s staring straight at a stuffed animal in the shape of a human person. It is bald with a tiny hat and too-big eyes and it wears a blue shirt and a name tag that says Jeffy in the sort of scrawl normally reserved for words written in blood.
A puppet, he realizes several seconds beyond when it would have been appropriate to respond.

Do you ever think about how one of the most "romantic" lines in our show is a grown man referring to himself in third person? Because I just did for the first time.
