    Summary

    He sighed heavily. “‘m just being silly. I didn’t really think you were mocking me but-”

    “Woah hey, what the fuck? I fucking hate massive aggression.”

    Stede’s lips quirked at the slip up. “I know you do. I’m just used to it. Boarding school, you know.” He smiled up at Ed warily, urging him to understand.

    Ed didn’t understand at all. But he couldn’t tell Stede that. Not when he’d rather see him fall on his arse on deck so that he could come to his rescue.

    Or: Ed discovers what Stede experienced at boarding school through a series of vignettes, and then they talk about things!

    Summary

    Stede looked back up at Ed, and the joyous expression on his face was enough for Stede to smile back. His happiness was just so contagious. Ed’s anger could brew storms, could swallow ships up whole into the depths below — he had seen it first hand on many occasions — but his happiness? It was unmatched. It made the air around him seem lighter, made life seem better.

    It made everything that they had been through to get to that point worth it.

    “You didn’t have to do all of that,” Stede spoke softly as Ed perched on the bed beside his legs, a hand falling atop the covers to stroke Stede’s thigh through the fabric. “It’s too lovely, darling.”

    “Pssh, nonsense. I’m just serving my Captain,” Ed wriggled his eyebrows and coaxed a laugh from Stede. “Now c’mon, eat your oats, I’ll get started on cracking this fucker open.” He passed over the bowl of oats before he took the orange into his hands, and pierced the skin at the top with his thumb as Stede spooned the first mouthful of his breakfast between his lips.

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet's been having panic attacks for almost as long as he can remember, suffocated by pressure and expectation. For years, he and Mary had an understanding, necessary for every stuffy networking party and corporate gala: I just need some air. And Stede would find the nearest exit, while Mary distracted the Badmintons before they could figure out where he'd gone. When Stede finally takes his life back — divorces Mary, moves to Melbourne, starts his own event management business — things get better, but he's still no good at parties. He still needs some air, even at the very events he's brought to fruition.

    Meanwhile, Edward Teach, renowned chef and owner of Blackbeard's Catering, is wondering why the newest bigwig in events still hasn't hired him.

    Modern AU set in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia; a family found and a romance grown in the alleyways behind galleries and function rooms.

    Summary

    After quitting his old life, Stede assembles a ragtag crew of four-legged misfits and decides to join a dog sled race that that he read about in a book and that is all about the experience rather than medals. Stede’s idol, the author of a book about starting a new life, which marked a turning point for Stede and gave him the final courage to break free, has decided to partake in the race too, for the first time again in years, hoping to revitalize his passion for this life that felt so freeing when he chose it long ago. Will the tour through the rough but magical snowy wilderness turn out to be a catalyst for something new and quite fantastical, and is Stede ready for the unexpected that comes with great adventure?

    A dog sledding AU. Because the author is very passionate about dogs and snow. And unexpected love stories with a happy ending.

    Summary

    “Captain, your throat,” Frenchie insists, taking Stede’s weight like he’s hurt. “You—”

    “I’m fine, Frenchie, my goodness,” Stede tells him. He tries to disentangle them; in Frenchie’s confusion, he only tightens his grip, pulling Stede towards the door and away from Ed. “It’s just a little cut from shaving, I’m fine! I promise, we don’t need Roach or anyone, Ed was handling it just fine himself.”

    This pulls Frenchie up short, and he stops in the doorway, fingers still tight in Stede’s flesh. Bewildered, he looks back, eyes finding the tiny— tiny— cut on Stede’s jaw before they snap up to Ed, brow furrowing.

    “It’s barely anything,” Frenchie says, though— Stede’s expecting relief, and his tone only sounds accusatory, which is just strange.
