Summary
Modern AU.
-- Stede Bonnet is recently divorced and getting on with his life with the help of his friends. It’s Halloween season and Stede’s going to a haunted house with the crew. It’s Stede’s first time going to a haunted attraction. He picks the VIP option, a more extreme experience which allows actors to touch the patrons.
-- Edward Teach has been working as a haunt actor for many seasons. This year he’s been hired by an attraction where actors are permitted to touch guests to give them an extra scare. His character is one he’s perfected over the years, the pirate Blackbeard. He’s gotten weary of being a haunt actor, so he hopes this new gig will bring some more oomph to his life.

Summary
Stede’s first pitch, when he broached the subject, was that he would be a fearsome pirate captain and Ed a fiery tavern wench. Which, like— it’s not that Ed wasn’t up for it, he totally was, but maybe he did make a teasing comment that made Stede start worrying about looking like a misogynist, and he’s already tying himself up in some guilt-ridden existential crisis long before Ed can find a big enough gap in the conversation to point out that maybe there is not an unproblematic way to do a fucking ravishment fantasy.

Summary
Edward Teach has made quite a name for himself in Hollywood— directing, producing, cleaning up after Jack Rackham's messes— but he's lost some of the magic. When his friends Anne and Mary ask him to come to New York to produce their latest play, Ed finds a fast friend in Stede Bonnet, and maybe something more.
A late 1970s AU inspired by Orville Peck's song of the same name.

Summary
"He'll be okay, Ed," Mary says, from beside him. She reaches out, laying a reassuring hand on Ed's forearm. "They'll all be okay."
Her voice sounds calm, but when Ed shoots her a sidelong glance, he can see that the anxiety in her eyes mirrors his own.
"I know," Ed says, patting her hand. "I know. It's just… fuck. This is gonna be the longest six minutes of my life, y'know?"
Ed Teach watches from the Family Room at Mission Control while his husband, Commander Stede Bonnet, and his fellow crewmates re-enter earth's atmosphere after their flight around the moon.
