    Summary

    Ask anyone: Edward Teach is the greatest pro surfer in the world. Or, he was. Now he’s retired, and burnt out, and okay maybe possibly dealing with a bit of untreated clinical depression. He hasn’t stepped foot in the water in almost two years—can’t even bring himself to go for a dip in the private pool at his fancy apartment complex, although not for lack of trying. Enter: Stede Bonnet. Also known as Pool DILF. Also also known as the love of Ed’s life. And love makes us do crazy things. Like maybe pretending you don’t know how to swim so your crush will offer to teach you.

    What could go wrong?

    A Reverse Big Bang collab with Sailor's Ruin!

    Summary

    Only three knives are stuck into the big settee, but the many rips and tears in its lovely brocade indicate quite a few previous stabbings. Stede sighs again as he lifts it up from its back onto all four legs, then pulls the third knife out of the center of the cushion. He pats the spot where the stuffing bursts out from the torn upholstery.

    Stede finds things torn open and damaged, and does his best to fix them up. The couch or Ed's heart? Yes.

    Summary

    Months of pining for his best friend has led to a charged date at an arcade, and a sleepover full of the same pain. Now one thing's becoming abundantly clear to Ed Teach: if he wants to save his heart, the only real option is to say goodbye to Stede Bonnet.

    So why does it feel like such an impossible thing to do?

    Stede's like the sun, and Ed's caught in orbit. As the universe sends him one sign after another, he fights to break the gravitational pull before it's too late for both of them.

    This fic is now COMPLETE.

    Summary

    Stede has just received a new delivery, and he's very excited to try it out with Ed

     

    “Stede.” Ed said, quietly, taking it all in.
    “Yes, darling?”
    “New.” Ed’s head felt like it was full of static as heat rushed across his skin.

    Summary

    “Oh, Ed. What are we going to do with you?” Evelyn propped her elbow on the table and her face on her hand. Her earrings were bright green, peridot maybe, and they looked incredible, glimmering like spring. Ed never had a sister.

    “Put me in a bag and shake me up? That’s what my mum used to say.” She’d never actually done it though. Maybe she should’ve, might’ve shook something loose. Done them both some good.

    Ed is possibly having a small midlife crisis. He's dealing with it pretty well, until he meets this blond guy outside the library.
