Summary
When Stede meets a startlingly well-dressed man at an otherwise rather tacky Sexy Santa Night at the bar, he quickly develops one objective: hold this man's attention by any means necessary. Even if it means pretending to be terrible at pool.
Despite Stede's ruse, Ed might just see him more clearly than anyone ever has before. And Stede might be getting some life-changing Christmas wishes granted tonight that he didn't even know he had.

Summary
Ed knows hypnosis isn’t real. So when Stede mentions that he knows how to hypnotize people, Ed does the only reasonable thing and dares his co-captain to hypnotize him.
This might, in retrospect, have been a tactical error.

Summary
Edward Teach has been doing a lot of growing up and a lot of work at putting himself in a position to be happy in his life. He's begun to run his own business, created a safe space for people to explore their sexuality in BDSM and even as a 401k like a real grown up person. What he doesn't have is happiness for himself.
When he bumbles across Stede Bonnet late one night online, he ignites a friendship with a man stepping out on his own for the first time in his life, trying to find himself and beginning everything from scratch from a divorce.
What follows are two men that are utter idiots, a story of love, longing, friendship and long suffering friends that somehow survived what happened between them.
