Summary
Edward Teach has lived as a bandit for years after banishment from his Nora homeland. He lived up to his title as Blackbeard, a master tactician when it comes to the demise of Machines, and incredibly talented in thievery and the occasional good maim. Away from expectant eyes, he preferred to spend his time amongst ruins of the Old World scattered throughout the land. The world was much different a thousand years ago before the fall of their era, and Ed loved any history he could gather from recorded data, voice memos, and holograms.
A recorded holo of a curious man from hundreds of years ago caught Ed's attention. The man was always full of hope and wonder, entrancing Ed with his love for life and the world they lived in.
Ed had made it his duty to uncover more about the Strange man's life. Catching feelings for the holo however, was strangely a hard thing not to do.

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
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.

Summary
Stede gave him a fond smirk. “Gosh, I forget how sweet you are when you’re feeling a bit jealous.”
Ed rolled his eyes. Infuriatingly, his face felt very warm, like he was blushing or something stupid like that. “Not jealous,” he muttered.
“Of course not,” Stede told him very seriously. “Why would you be?” He reached out and gently extricated one of Ed’s hands where his arms were crossed. Gave it a little squeeze.
Still, Ed couldn’t drop it. “There’s something funny in the way he looks at you.”
Stede just smiled serenely. “Is there? I wouldn’t notice, would I? Not with you around, looking so captivating in that shirt.”
Ed glared at him, but he was feeling very wriggly and pleased. “Yeah?”
*
Some highly valuable stolen loot leads to a surprise encounter with one of Stede's childhood friends—the suspiciously kind and handsome Charlie Badminton. At first, Ed is jealous, but soon he and Charlie begin to bond. Naturally, Stede is super normal about this.
