Summary
It took Ed a moment before he caught on and started to take off his weapons himself. He put the gun aside but lingered on the knife.
He wanted this, wanted to be pressed against the broad chest, wanted to be held down by the strong arms, wanted the large hands to crack him wide open, leaving him completely vulnerable, before just—He shuddered and couldn’t say if it was from desire or from fear of the precarious position meeting those desires would require of him.
“I want to make myself very clear, mate,” he said slowly. He could feel the smoky tendrils of Blackbeard creep into his voice. He hated it. It was necessary. “I’m here because I just wanna get fucking railed and everybody out there’s being real fuckin’ weird about it.”

An illustrated exploration of why one would get a "Trust No One" tramp stamp (that tattoo did not look fresh!), since that feels less like a reminder to yourself and more like a message to the people topping you...
Told through seven sexual encounters spanning from Hornigold's ship to Post-Canon Era.Series

Summary
Edward blinked at the piece of paper in his hands.
It was one of his old wanted posters. The one with the big nose and the crazy eyes and the writing on the back.
They had all had crazy eyes though, hadn’t they?
This specific one however had been re-titled in bright red paint ‘The Gentleman Pirate’s Bitch’. And underneath—presumably in thoughtful consideration for the wide-spread illiteracy amongst pirates—there was a crude drawing (in both senses of the word) helpfully illustrating that very statement.
It's been a few years—post-piracy, post-myth, post-Blackbeard—and despite all odds, Edward has done the work and found peace.
But the world never got to witness the legend’s grand downfall, so now they just won't stop poking the corpse and drawing dicks on its face.
And for some reason, this time... Edward just can’t look away.
The celebration of a life post-public gaze, the reclamation of narrative and the most meta revenge-hatefuck fantasy imaginable—staged by two soft fucking lunatics in love.

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
It’s Paris in the summer of 2024, and world-famous diving champion Ed Teach is representing New Zealand in what could be his final Olympics. After coming back from an almost career-ending injury he’s focussed everything he's got on winning gold at these Games, but when he meets Stede Bonnet—a first-time diving rival representing Barbados—at the infamous free condom handout and then discovers they're roommates, he’s suddenly got a lot more to think about.
As Ed’s synchronisation with his long-term diving partner Izzy Hands begins to falter and Stede struggles with his confidence, believing in each other might be the only thing that gets them both through. In between, they're going to take this brief, fated time together to connect in every possible way they can.
