Summary
Ed Teach has spent most of his life behind the wheel of a truck. All of those long hours on the road have made it impossible to build lasting relationships, and so Ed is used to being alone. He's made his peace with it. He's accepted that he's just not the kind of guy who gets to have someone to come home to.
But, when Ed stumbles across a golden haired lunatic in a truck stop in the asscrack of nowhere, he begins to question some of those assumptions…

Summary
"He'll be okay, Ed," Mary says, from beside him. She reaches out, laying a reassuring hand on Ed's forearm. "They'll all be okay."
Her voice sounds calm, but when Ed shoots her a sidelong glance, he can see that the anxiety in her eyes mirrors his own.
"I know," Ed says, patting her hand. "I know. It's just… fuck. This is gonna be the longest six minutes of my life, y'know?"
Ed Teach watches from the Family Room at Mission Control while his husband, Commander Stede Bonnet, and his fellow crewmates re-enter earth's atmosphere after their flight around the moon.

Summary
Stede takes Louis to a birthday party in a soft play place that is, rather incongruously, adjoined to Blackbeard's Motorbike Repair and Servicing.
In the shared car park, Louis trips and falls, scraping up his hands and knees. Already teetering on the verge of overwhelm after enduring two hours of children's squealing and aggressively cheerful Disney tunes, Stede is just about ready to tear his hair out. But then, along comes a knight in black leather to save the day and — maybe, just maybe — change Stede's entire life.

Summary
Dickfuck, no. Ed squeezes his eyes shut. He needs to get himself the fuck under control.
Knots. He'll think about knots. Boring, mundane, deeply unsexy knots.
He pulls back. Cleat hitch.
Pushes in. Bowline knot.
He gets in a few more thrusts (Anchor hitch. Carrick bend. Chain splice), keeping it together by sheer force of will. A wave of pleasure crashes over him.
His balls draw up tight. Fuck.
His hips falter. Shit!
Fucking clove hitch, heaving line knot, figure EIGHT —
He comes. Barely half a dozen thrusts, and he fucking comes.
Written for Whoops Weekend, for the 'accidental bodily function' prompt.

Summary
"There we go. That's it, little fella. Let's get you all patched up, shall we?" Ed coos softly, as he manoeuvres the teeny tiny mizzenmast into position. Working at this scale, every minuscule tremor of his hand seems to be magnified ten-fold. He exhales slowly to steady his hand, then carefully lines up the splintered mast with the base.
Ed and Stede work together to repair the teeny tiny Revenge. Set in a sort of nebulous time in between episodes 5 and 6 of Season 2.

Summary
In Ed's experience, there's nothing quite so effective at snuffing out a crush than the disappointment of a mediocre roll in the hay.
So, Ed has a plan: One quick fuck to get this crush on Stede out of his system.
It's a good plan. Solid, simple, and definitely, one hundred per cent foolproof.
Right?

Summary
Tokyo, 2003.
Edward "Blackbeard" Teach is in Tokyo to promote a whiskey brand, because apparently he doesn't have a single shred of integrity left. He just wants this trip to pass quickly so he can go home and get back to kidding himself that his next project will be something interesting and meaningful.
All of that changes, however, when he meets and befriends Stede Bonnet. His feelings for Stede quickly deepen, but there's one teensy problem: Stede is in the city with his wife, up-and-coming artist Mary Allamby Bonnet.
A Lost in Translation AU.
