Summary
Stede Bonnet has spent his life in the shadow of his own failures. Being born an omega, his marriage to a beta instead of an alpha, his failure as a father to his pups. The only thing he's ever had going for him is coming from a pure-blood family and all the duties that came with it. It wasn't until he met a wolf-dog, the infamous Blackbeard, that he came into his own and realized that there could be more to himself than the failure he'd been living as. But on the cusp of finally coming into his own, old ghosts reared their heads sending him fleeing from the love of his life.
Edward Teach knew from the moment he was old enough to speak that having a wolf from a mother had damned him in the eyes of the civilized world. He'd accepted that until he met a retriever who smiled at him and told him he wore fine things well. Who made him laugh and brought light into his life. But the light went out and the old rage burned.
A rage that Ned Low was happy to take advantage of as Ed finds himself in the grip of the English, controlled by a madman and stripped, piece by piece, of his memories and sanity. All he remembers is once the sun had shown on him, but the sun's gone out, leaving only shadows and darkness.

Summary
Sometimes it’s like Stede can read Ed’s thoughts—except for all the times when it’s painfully obvious that he can’t.
Especially the whole, y’know, Ed being in love with him thing.
Ed flicks some ash into the daffodil bed. “Thought you quit.”
“I did.” Stede says, all eyelashes and dimples as he makes a “gimme” motion with two fingers.
Ed sighs and hands over the pack and a lighter. He isn’t present as he does it, not really. He’s thinking about that other life, where Stede takes Ed’s cigarette from his lips without asking.
A modern AU based on Lucy Dacus' album, Forever is a Feeling.

Summary
He's perfect.
He's… off.
Not a lot. He still responds eagerly when Ed presses him against the wall every time they've been separated, laughing and protesting that he's only been grocery shopping even as he's fiddling with Ed's belt; he still twines his legs with Ed's every night as their kisses get heated and bodyweight settles over bodyweight. He still wakes up as Ed trails fingers up his thigh the morning afterwards, eager to have him before they part for work. Ed still never goes more than twelve hours without getting what he needs.
But still.
There's something. He stares into the middle distance, sometimes, as if deep in thought. He brushes Ed's prodding away with a casual dismissal.
And Ed doesn't know what that something is.

Summary
A crew conducts a daring raid on the ship of the Mad Wizard Low, rescuing a man who's lost his memories. As Stede adjusts to his new life onboard a pirate ship, fleeing from the wrath of the wizard and trying to avoid the navy of the Immortal King, he tries to piece together what happened to him.
How long was he locked away? What did Mad Low want with him? And is he really just an average human mortal man?
Haunted by a recurring dream of a beautiful man in a raven mask and the burning conviction someone he loves very much is out there, Stede searches for answers, and begins to suspect he may have had a role in a failed magical ritual that plunged the world into chaos and flooding—held only at bay by the mysterious Blackbeard.

Summary
Even Stede’s composure was slipping, his breath ragged. “Such a sweet little kitten for me.”
Ed squeezed his eyes closed as a wave of pleasure shivered through him at the words. Made his stomach clench.
Because fuck.
Look at him, bent over a table, getting railed so tenderly he cried.
Fuckin’ Blackbeard was someone’s sweet little kitten.
The thought took him totally by surprise, and Ed came on the spot with a gut-wrenching sob.
And that was. Well. That was something he should probably unpack at some point, right?
**
Historically, Ed has not enjoyed it when people want to fuck Blackbeard. Not just fuck him, but fuck him. To be the person who gets Blackbeard on his knees. To make the legend beg, make him whimper and cry.
And then came Stede Bonnet.

Summary
The sidewalk is a little less even here, built with large slabs of shale rather than the curated concrete of main street. He picks his way towards the park, admiring the older houses built here with stone foundations, and some with shale shingles on the roof.
And then he hears a strange sound, sort of electrical? He thinks?
He walks a little farther down and realizes the sound is echoing out from an old Victorian style townhouse that looks incredibly run down. The beeping continues as he draws closer. Intrigued, Ed pulls up his phone camera and starts recording.
----
Ed finds a strange house blaring Morse code out into the neighborhood. Is pandemic isolation driving him crazy, or is there actually someone sending messages by telegraph in the year 2020?

Summary
Stede hooks an arm around his neck, pulling him into another kiss and obscene thrust of hips, and Ed’s toes curl right up in his boots.
“Yeah, yes, I want you too. Wanna fucking tear these clothes right off,” Ed pants into his mouth each time he comes up for air. “Come on, baby, let me in, let me see what’s in that pretty fucking head of yours.”
Shit. Stede stops moving, lets his head drop back against the door and levels him with an unreadable expression.
“What did you say?”
***
In a universe where people can read each other's minds during sex, Ed and Stede try it out for the first time.

It’ll be fine.
Well, the jacket won’t be, but that’s a sacrifice Stede’s willing to make. That particular color has always washed him out.
