even in another time

Summary:

Edward Teach and Stede Bonnet met and fell in love for the first time in 1717.

This was not, however, the last time.

or: ed and stede fall in love— over, and over, and over again, no matter when or where they are.

Notes:

okay hello!! here i am!! with a fun little concept fic!! i hope you like this!!

okay the basic premise here is that i'll have seven total chapters (though the first chapter will just be this intro) and each chapter 2 through 7 will be set in a different time, with a new version of stede and ed, as they are in that time. the first one is in the late 1700s into the early 1800s; from there, i have five more times i will set them in after that, each coming up until they're in the modern day. they'll also be at different points in their relationships, just for variety and fun!!

also, i have pre-emptively tagged this as explicit, because i know me and i'm anticipating that and don't want anyone to come in expecting a gen fic or anything and be upset later. also also note the "other tags may be added" tag, because other tags will be added as i write this!! and also the "canon-typical historical inaccuracy" tag because... canon-typical historical inaccuracy!!

this is a fun little project i wanted to try!! a fun concept!! i hope you enjoy it, because i'm excited about it!! so without further adieu let's get into this!!

title taken/paraphrased (depending on your interpretation of it) from sappho's fragment 147: "someone will remember us / i say / even in another time"

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
