Summary
If you wanted, I could marry you instead.
It's 2004, and Edward Teach just offered to marry his best friend to save Stede from the marriage his parents were planning to some girl he barely knew. They've run away, tied the knot at city hall, and now they find themselves in some tiny town by the sea that no one's ever heard of.
Two decades later, Ed will be one of the most famous people in the world, and they won't have spoken in years, but for now they're just kids: with no money, no place to live, and no idea what they're doing.
Also Ed's painfully in love with his best friend, but they don't talk about that.

Summary
"What's on your mind, Stede?"
"It's just… well, it's rather hard to believe, isn't it?" Stede says.
"What, that Thomas and Maria are snogging already after he left her behind? It's a romance novel, Stede. It's not supposed to be realistic. You've gotta suspend your disbelief a bit, man."
"No, it's not that. It's just… Kissing. All of the romance novels make it out to be this huge, world-changing, earth-shattering experience. And it's just a bit silly, is all."
Ed swallows. "I dunno. It can feel really nice, y'know. With the right person."
Or, Stede confesses that he's never really seen the appeal of kissing before. What is a good co-captain to do but offer his own lips for the taking?

Summary
“...Mr Teach?”
“Mm-hm. Says right here, the substitute that covered your class yesterday was an Ed Teach.”
Stede laughs out loud.
“You mean to tell me,” he says, “that the substitute’s full, government name was Education Teach?”
“Edward, I’d expect,” says Lucius, giving Stede a look ordinarily reserved for the particularly dim-witted.
(Or: Stede has taken one day off. ONE. His classroom is a complete disaster. Who the fuck IS this Ed Teach? He can suck eggs in hell, as far as Stede is concerned. A modern-day enemies-to-lovers teacher AU, because the author is deeply self-indulgent and needed it to happen)

Summary
Edward Teach has made quite a name for himself in Hollywood— directing, producing, cleaning up after Jack Rackham's messes— but he's lost some of the magic. When his friends Anne and Mary ask him to come to New York to produce their latest play, Ed finds a fast friend in Stede Bonnet, and maybe something more.
A late 1970s AU inspired by Orville Peck's song of the same name.

Summary
Stede takes Louis to a birthday party in a soft play place that is, rather incongruously, adjoined to Blackbeard's Motorbike Repair and Servicing.
In the shared car park, Louis trips and falls, scraping up his hands and knees. Already teetering on the verge of overwhelm after enduring two hours of children's squealing and aggressively cheerful Disney tunes, Stede is just about ready to tear his hair out. But then, along comes a knight in black leather to save the day and — maybe, just maybe — change Stede's entire life.
