    Summary

    Stede Bonnet is free at last, and on his way back to his love. As "Captain Thomas Edwards", he'll learn a lot about sailing and emotional availability, and perhaps even make a name for himself as the man either brave or foolish enough to hunt the legendary Blackbeard. But rumour has it that Blackbeard may be the opposite of welcoming, if and when he ever catches up...

    Obligatory overly-long post-season 1 reunion fix-it fic, feat. slow burn reconciliation, more historical accuracy than you wanted, and plenty of piratical action.

    This fic comes with a playlist! Pop heavy and generally upbeat; listen on Spotify here. And you can come talk to me at @cuddlytogas on Tumblr, or @caeliuspiso on Twitter!

    Summary

    The third time the video loops, Stede finally reads the text.

    somebody come get their dad!! @gentlebonnet
    single, 45, two kids, no pets, successful, interested in men
    house-trained but timid around unfamiliar men and loud noises
    obsessions hobbies include being obnoxiously well-dressed, boats (obviously), reading, farmer’s markets, things that involve painstaking detail
    offensively thoughtful, emotionally available, annoyingly cute crier, loud outspoken
    free to a good home—no chasers, no gold diggers
    serious inquiries only

    ________

    Stede never put too much thought into the app his children used to pass their idle hours. He'd occasionally let them drag him into some choreographed dance or silly skit, tickled pink at the thought of his children feeling secure enough to ask him to participate in their antics without fear of ridicule.

    A single stitch from a handsome salt-and-pepper stranger changes that.

    Enter Edward Teach, former frontman of QAR, current directorial darling, and devoted raccoon dad.

    Summary

    Jack graduated from college in May with a history degree and no immediate plans for the future. The only thing he knows with absolute certainty is that he doesn’t want to play hockey.

    That doesn’t mean Jack does know what he wants. He’s got one last summer here at Camp Samwell, eight weeks to put off thinking about his future.
