Summary
It’s as the saying goes: bad things come in threes.
___Stede faces a couple of different emotional blows in a short period of time and it affects his already low self-esteem.
Instead of sharing his feelings with his partner Ed or any of his friends, he bottles it all up and turns to running as a coping mechanism.
(Inspired by "Fake Happy" - Paramore)

Summary
Stede grew up on a farmhouse with his parents—his mother’s pride and joy—but after she passed, his father saw no reason to “waste their lives” and relocated them to a larger city. Now, decades later, his father has carked it and Stede is finally free to seek out the life he wants. With his divorce to Mary set in motion, Stede moves back to the same farm, hoping to start over.
Problem is, he certainly has no idea how to be a proper farmer.
Fortunately for him, his neighbor Ed Teach is also a farmer, and an incredibly experienced one at that. Ed seems more than happy to show him the ropes, as well as offer him genuine friendship. Stede doesn’t expect to also fall for him like a ton of bricks. Now, not only does he have to figure out how to successfully navigate his new life, but also grapple with the feelings whirling inside of him without chasing Ed away.

Summary
Edward Teach has lived as a bandit for years after banishment from his Nora homeland. He lived up to his title as Blackbeard, a master tactician when it comes to the demise of Machines, and incredibly talented in thievery and the occasional good maim. Away from expectant eyes, he preferred to spend his time amongst ruins of the Old World scattered throughout the land. The world was much different a thousand years ago before the fall of their era, and Ed loved any history he could gather from recorded data, voice memos, and holograms.
A recorded holo of a curious man from hundreds of years ago caught Ed's attention. The man was always full of hope and wonder, entrancing Ed with his love for life and the world they lived in.
Ed had made it his duty to uncover more about the Strange man's life. Catching feelings for the holo however, was strangely a hard thing not to do.

Summary
Stede Bonnet is on a mission - prove himself useful and avoid getting fired and cut off from his family wealth. All he has to do is convince a crew employed by his father’s company that their woodland construction site is not being terrorised by a supernatural entity.
What could possibly go wrong? It’s not like Stede believes in ghosts or demons or curses, so he has nothing to fear.
However, seeing is believing, just as they say. As it turns out, there's merit to the crew's panicked reports, and Stede is about to learn that fear will be the last thing on his mind when he discovers the nature of what's really lurking in the woods.

Summary
Every happy ending has a beginning.
Before the famous Blackbeard, before the romance with a certain Gentleman Pirate, Edward Teach was a young waif, thirteen years old, blood on his hands and the life at sea as a pirate his only escape. Life under the clever but cold Ben Hornigold isn't easy, and less so for the youngest member of the crew who can't seem to stay out of trouble. It takes all of Edward's wit, cunning, and sheer tenacity just to survive, let alone find his own way in the world full of people who want to keep him in his place.
Never Shall We Die is an epic story full of adventure and freedom, wild joy, crushing despair, friends, enemies, mentors and lovers... Watch as Edward Teach grows from a boy to a man, discovering himself and honing his skills to become the greatest pirate the world has ever known.

Summary
In 1919, telegraph operator Stede Bonnet returns from the Great War with no memory and no voice, unable to recall what happened to break his mind. On his first night at home, he sees the translucent image of a man he knows is Ed in the mirror, except that this Ed comes from 1719.
Just as Stede knows that he's lost his Ed, this Ed has lost his Stede, and neither of them knows why. Reaching out across these broken lines of connection over two centuries, they'll work together to remember the endings of their stories, and to find what they've lost.

Summary
While bartending at a friend's bar Ed finds himself with an armful of a very drunk, and very handsome, blonde man and decides the best option to just let him sleep it off. And if the babbling drunk guy is adorable as fuck and tells him he has pretty eyes and princess hair, well, that's just the topper on the cake.
Stede wakes up in a strange house, in a strange bed, and a note that simply begins with "DON'T PANIC." Which is a hell of a thing to tell newly out and divorced Stede Bonnet, who immediately does just that.
Or
Five times Stede panics and the one time he doesn't.

He shifts, comfortably caught, back into a fantastically-familiar embrace, his eyes never leaving Ed’s, hands travelling lazily, reverently, over the muscle of his shoulders, the tender reassurance of his beautiful, scar-softened belly.

Summary
Ed Teach had made a name for himself, that was for certain; a celebrity ad man among a sea of gray suits. And that was why the suggestion to bring him in was absolutely absurd.
“He’d never work here. He’s too good, plus he doesn’t tie himself down.”
“There’s that can-do spirit I’ve always heard about!” Lucius jokes.
“We could at least try,” Jim presses.
There’s no way. “It’s not even what he does,” Stede tries to remind them, but he can already tell which way the tide is turning.
***
It's 1964, and Stede Bonnet runs a small but mighty ad firm in New York City. When their creative director suddenly quits, his agency reaches out to an unconventional replacement.

Summary
Honestly, fuck Jack. Ed could do so much better than fuckin' "Calico" Jack. Just because he'd been in a funk for a few years that didn't mean... Well, Ed knew he was attractive. He could be sexy. He could. And he could pull someone so completely opposite to Jack they might as well be from different planets.
Enter the gorgeous posh blond bloke at the end of the bar.
Oh, he would do nicely.
***
Ed and Stede have the worst exes in the world, but with a little bit of fuckery and a fabricated relationship (that's maybe getting a bit too real), they can help each other get them off their backs.
But what happens when their attraction to each other grows, and yet they’ve only agreed to touch each other when other people are around?
