if music be the food of love (then darling, you're a feast) by Fool_for_love

Summary
“Hey, so, those two, right, they get together in the end?” Ed asks.
“I would protest spoiling it, but I think it's rather obvious, isn't it?” Stede says. His nose wrinkles as he smiles. “The tension is certainly there from the beginning. It just takes them a while to get there.”
“Good. Would have been a shit story otherwise."
Former local grunge legend Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard of Blackbeard & the Krakens, has fallen on hard times. Following slanderous accusations from ex-bandmate (and ex-lover) Calico Jack, Ed is blacklisted from all his usual venues. His career is over, and, so far as he’s concerned, so is his life. He spends his days wallowing in a dingy Seattle apartment, fighting with his manager and bemoaning his loss of purpose.
Enter one Stede Bonnet, Ed’s obnoxiously loud next-door-neighbor. Stede Bonnet is an overly enthusiastic playwright who cares way too much about Shakespeare and writes like a dandy from the 18th century.
He’s the most interesting thing to happen to Ed in years.
[COMPLETE!]

Summary
"You seem very familiar to me. I can’t say why that is." As Aziraphale spoke, Crowley turned away from the fire, and Aziraphale was momentarily concerned that the spell had been broken, that he had crossed some invisible line. But Crowley smiled and brought his beer to his lips.
"Maybe we met in a past life. Does your lot believe in that?"
"Past lives?"
"Yeah."
Aziraphale smiled into his wine. He was sure Crowley was poking fun, ever so slightly, but he liked it. "Not strictly speaking. No."
Crowley shrugged, taking another long sip of his beer. “A mystery then."
After receiving direct instruction from God, village reverend Aziraphale leaves his countryside congregation to serve the underserved and in-need at an urban church in London, a transition made all the more complicated by the mysterious and handsome Crowley, who always seems to appear when Aziraphale least expects him.

Summary
Aziraphale firmly told himself he would not make such a maudlin spectacle of himself any longer.
Fine, then. He loved. Crowley did not.
They were husbands nonetheless, in nothing but name; strangers apart from their wordless shared evenings and some polite conversations on occasion.
Love would not - could not - change a thing.Marriage, especially the arranged variety, is an enterprise wraught with pitfalls; moreso, Lord Aziraphale Fell is quickly learning, when hearts become involved.
Troublesome things, really, hearts.

The Gentleman Pyrate and the Little Lord and Lady by embee_bucz
Fandom Our Flag Means Death (TV)
30 Dec 2024
Summary
"Good-bye children."
Stede's in the process of closing the door as quietly as he can - something he's an expert in, he likes to sneak in and give them a kiss after they've gone to bed but before he does - when he hears it.
"Papa?"
Damn.
---
An AU where Stede brings Louis and Alma along with him when he runs off to be a pirate. Edward is charmed, Izzy is beside himself, the crew is smitten, and Mary desperately deserves a drink.

Summary
Jack was fine. Really, he was.
He was crass, and often late, and he made jokes that made Stede feel like he was the punchline, but they were born in the same decade and he hadn’t ghosted him, so there was that. Stede could hardly see himself marrying the man but there were worse people to spend time with. He assumed.

Summary
Aziraphale tried to focus on Crowley, sitting at the opposite end of the table across from him. It was more difficult than he expected, like some part of his mind wasn’t yet fully there. He could only process fragments of the whole picture – Crowley’s thin fingers wrapped around the stem of the wine-glass, his tie slightly loosened, Aziraphale’s own reflection in the glossy surface of Crowley’s sunglasses. He couldn’t see Crowley’s eyes like this, but the way Crowley leaned forward to peer more closely at him had a concerned air.
“Are you alright?” he said. “You seem a bit… out of it.”
(Or: intrusive thoughts and crowded restaurants aren't a good mix.)

Summary
John's days in the army left more damage than his limp. He understands only some sounds and hears the persistent buzz of tinnitus. Sherlock isn't quite whole, either, but he knows how to pay attention. His genius is more subtle, but John can hear it.
They understand each other.

‘It’s Wednesday night and we are sharing chocolate analogies over files pertaining to the single most dangerous criminal in the world,’ he says, regarding his friend strangely. John just grins back, enjoying it (enjoying the forgetting, just for a moment).
‘Yeah. Yeah, we are.’ He raises one shoulder, because why not?

Count the Headlights on the Highway by soft_october for mia_ugly

Summary
The rest of the band should relax, okay? He was not unconcerned about the fact that Stede Bonnet - the “poor man’s Elton John,” as one particularly nasty critic called him - covered some B-side The Scalawags wrote more than a decade ago. (He was very, very concerned, actually. He was very concerned because the first time he heard it was two weeks ago and he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it since.)
When Stede Bonnet releases a chart topping cover of an old Scalawags song, Ed is more taken with it than he'd like to admit. After Calico Jack starts twitter drama over the "destruction of real music," Ed finds himself in the unusual position of having to apologize to Stede in person.
He's fine. His palms aren't sweaty. He's super cool and he can do this.

Summary
“The thing is, I don’t really wanna be with a fat old guy.”
Crowley wishes he was the type of person who still read newspapers, so he could be hiding behind one right now. His sunglasses do a piss-poor job of hiding his expression at the best of times, and this is most decidedly not a best of times.
- - -
When Crowley (and the rest of the cafe) overhears Aziraphale being dumped brutally, he takes it upon himself to track the other man down. Just in the name of solidarity, see. It's not because Crowley's been in love with Aziraphale since the first time he saw him.That would be ridiculous.

As Time Goes By by teatales

Summary
Mr Anthony Crowley was fine with being alone. He had his car and his plants and his career as a travelling salesman, and it was fine. Even with his awful new bosses, he had no plans to quit selling watches anytime soon. What else would he do?
Mrs Aziraphale Ingels had been stuck in Tadfield ever since her husband passed away a year ago. She tried her best not to dwell on how lonely she felt as she filled her days with books and baking while waiting for the inheritance to be finalised. Only then could she consider what she wanted to do with the rest of her life.
A chance meeting, a blossoming friendship, and Aziraphale and Crowley soon find themselves falling in love with the stranger they met only a few months ago. But neither believe the other could ever love them back, and both have things they're terrified to share.
As Time Goes By is a timeless romance set in the 1950s about acceptance, being less alone than you think, and watch-related puns.
