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.

Summary
“Who’s that?” Ed points to the unfamiliar player. He has yellow hair, almost gingery, styled in waves that evoke the old movies Ed’s mum used to watch on their black and white television. The man twirls around, and Ed sees his jersey has the name “Bonnet” printed on the back.
A rugby AU where Ed and Stede learn how to be brave after forty-plus years of playing it safe.

Summary
Stede Bonnet owns a fancy yarn shop in a cosy little seaside town. Life is mostly peaceful, a bit stressful, often lonely—then the empty shop next door is taken over by a leatherworker with kind eyes and a surprising fondness for cashmere, and everything changes.
(Fluff and sock garters and seashore walks and midlife revelations and a loophole in The Sweater Curse.)

Summary
Ed’s used to visitors, though the novelty of his home has worn off in the last eighteen months or so, the uninvited guests becoming fewer and further between. He’s used to curiosity, and questions he rarely feels like answering. He’s used to people forgetting that this is, in fact, his home, and not some out of the way tourist attraction.
He’s used to strangers.
But he’s starting to think that perhaps, not all his visitors need to stay strangers.
or: Ed has a simple life. He has a self-built, off grid, mostly self-sustaining house tucked away in the middle of a forest. He has five chickens, and a partially feral cat. He lives alone, and he likes it that way. Until the appearance of an incredibly nosy, incredibly handsome stranger three weekends in a row has him questioning every self-imposed rule he's ever set himself.

Summary
Alpha Ed Teach meets omega Stede Bonnet over a business proposal. He doesn't expect the power to go out all over the city and them to be trapped together in a small apartment, but suppressants linger in the body for long enough it shouldn't be a problem before the power comes back on.
The problem is that "shouldn't" isn't the same as "won't."

Summary
Was there a plan here? Did Stede think he never wanted to fuck again? Because Ed definitely wanted to fuck again. Like, a lot.
And now they were here, at the inn, alone. The Revenge had sailed off into a buttery marmalade sunset with the whole crew, so it was just the two of them (and assorted small animals in varying stages of decomposition) in their perfect, partially collapsed new home.
Ed was trying very hard not to think of it as a wedding night.
Especially since it wasn’t one.
Like, at all. They were not married. Not even close! And Stede knew pirate marriages existed—between all mix of genders. They’d just been to one. So if he wanted to be gay pirate married to Ed, he’d have said something.
**
It's Ed and Stede's first night at the inn together, and as usual Ed is feeling super normal about it.

Summary
“Do you think it’s some kind of sex pollen?” Stede asked, out of breath once again as he rolled off Ed to stretch out along his side. “I read about that in a rather filthy book once. Didn’t think it was real, but then there’s so much we don’t know about the world!”
Ed, for his part, was lying on his back; body melting into the puddle of their commingled juices currently pooling beneath him on the bed.
“Nah mate,” he scoffed, voice rough like he’d been screaming (he had). “Sex pollen wishes. Reckon we’re just madly in love.”**
Ed and Stede retire from piracy and attempt to open an inn. Or they would, if they could stop fucking for long enough to get the place into shape.

Summary
A man stood before the printer.
No, that wasn’t right. “Man” served to define the heavy mouthbreathers pounding it out at the hotel gym. This was no mere man.
Unholy was the next word that flitted through his addled mind.
But that wasn’t right, either. There was nothing unholy or holy about the vision before him.
Dreamlike fit better. His colours did not match Stede’s dream at all, given that he was swathed in leather and that his hair was a cloud of silver and sable curls. Yet, even at first glance, even though Stede had only clocked his profile, he knew that every aspect of the sight before him matched his waking dreams.
He’d never mentioned leather and long hair to anyone, not even Lucius, his assistant at the bookshop he’d opened following his father’s death, his divorce, and his slow awakenings. Lucius came closest to a best friend, and even he had no idea that, a few months ago, Stede had discovered an author called Blackbeard, taken one glimpse of the photo on the book jacket, and fallen head over heels in—
Love.
And now Blackbeard was here. Standing before him. Looking at the lingerie photos Stede had printed.

Summary
Stede Bonnet is on a mission - prove himself useful and avoid getting fired and cut off from his family wealth. All he has to do is convince a crew employed by his father’s company that their woodland construction site is not being terrorised by a supernatural entity.
What could possibly go wrong? It’s not like Stede believes in ghosts or demons or curses, so he has nothing to fear.
However, seeing is believing, just as they say. As it turns out, there's merit to the crew's panicked reports, and Stede is about to learn that fear will be the last thing on his mind when he discovers the nature of what's really lurking in the woods.

Summary
Stede draws his attention back to the head massage, alternating pressure from the kind of bruising that’s enough to knead a migraine away, to gentle, delicate strokes through his hair. He grows almost meditative with it, forcing his eyes away from Ed’s face and simply enjoying the feeling of body heat and cool, damp-silk hair against his palms. Truthfully, he could do this for hours, rather than the usual three-to-five minutes that’s usually afforded to customers when they…
When…
It’s been longer than three-to-five minutes.
A quick glance at the clock reveals it’s been far, far longer than three-to-five minutes.
Stede doesn’t mind, obviously. And Ed doesn’t seem to be about to question it. But the snide little Lucius-like voice in the back of his mind points out that almost twenty fucking minutes is maybe a bit of an overkill.
Stede yanks his hands away from Ed’s hair like it’s covered in bleach.
“Okey-doke!” Stede manages, voice shrill and a little strangled.
From across the salon, the real Lucius snorts.
(OR: Stede's a hair stylist. Ed shows up for an appointment. And shows up. And shows up. And shows up...)
