    Summary

    The Caribbean, modern era

    It's been a year since maritime archaeologist Stede Bonnet faked his death to escape to a new life with salvage diver and lover Ed Teach, leaving behind their shared life of crime-with-a-purpose. Everything's wonderful on the island they call home, but a new discovery has history calling.

    The trail ends, as it always does, with a shipwreck they'll have to find in order to unravel what happened to Blackbeard's and Bonnet's crews three hundred years ago.

    They're not the only ones looking...

    London, 1724

    Jim's plan was foolproof, like they all are: send Lucius to meet an English asshole with a taste for stealing precious objects from other countries. Get involved, like only Lucius can. Go on the Grand Tour as his companion, steal back what they can find, and send it home to where it came from.

    Simple, huh?

    Not so simple when their mark goes and dies on them before they can even get started. Now Lucius has to impersonate a lord as they fight their way across three cities, cutting a swathe through high society in their quest to rob the rich.

    They've never gone so big and bold, and they've never been pursued with such determination...

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet is a docent at the Met Museum. One day, he meets a very handsome man with a sketchbook by his favorite painting.

    When the man keeps returning most weeks, Stede assumes they share a taste in art. It couldn't be more than that... right?

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet is an alcoholic divorcee who owns a middling bakery during the inbetween moments of him trying to justify his own existence - That's if his upper-class community is to be believed.

    Blackbeard is a renowned celebrity chef with an unknown past, complete terror of the restaurant world, recipient of both the James Beard Award and several DUI's, and has a good looking dick - That's if the general public is to be believed.

    Edward Teach doesn't exist anymore - That isn't questioned.
    “You really don’t know who I am?”

    Stede hurriedly straightened. How many times would he offend this man? He felt as if he were attempting to navigate a minefield in a blind gavotte.

    “I don't know if you go around crashing into many fire hydrants, but no, I certainly do not know you, please forgive me the transgression.” He attempted to keep his tone even. “I’m not really from this town.” Stede’s gaze briefly flickered down. The stranger’s hand was no longer clenched.

    “Neither am I.” It was said in a tone of resignation, almost as if - Oh, and wasn’t Stede Bonnet just projecting here - Almost as if the stranger didn’t quite know where he belonged.

    Summary

    In June 2024, Corporate Businessman™ Stede Bonnet and Circus Performer Ed Teach went to their local Wawa.

    It did not go as planned.

    Romance. Intrigue. Geese. Sensual sandwich ordering. Interesting uses for clown noses!

    They were just looking for lunch, but they found so much more. Hop in the Nissan Ska-ltima and take a wild ride down the Jersey Shore.

    Summary

    Stede draws his attention back to the head massage, alternating pressure from the kind of bruising that’s enough to knead a migraine away, to gentle, delicate strokes through his hair. He grows almost meditative with it, forcing his eyes away from Ed’s face and simply enjoying the feeling of body heat and cool, damp-silk hair against his palms. Truthfully, he could do this for hours, rather than the usual three-to-five minutes that’s usually afforded to customers when they…

    When…

    It’s been longer than three-to-five minutes.

    A quick glance at the clock reveals it’s been far, far longer than three-to-five minutes.

    Stede doesn’t mind, obviously. And Ed doesn’t seem to be about to question it. But the snide little Lucius-like voice in the back of his mind points out that almost twenty fucking minutes is maybe a bit of an overkill.

    Stede yanks his hands away from Ed’s hair like it’s covered in bleach.

    “Okey-doke!” Stede manages, voice shrill and a little strangled.

    From across the salon, the real Lucius snorts.

    (OR: Stede's a hair stylist. Ed shows up for an appointment. And shows up. And shows up. And shows up...)

    Summary

    Ed is the owner of Blackbeard's Bakes. He's built his business from nothing, and is proud of it, but working long, unsociable hours doesn't really lend itself to finding a serious relationship. The store next door has changed ownership a lot over the years, so when the latest arrival is an independent sex shop, Ed doesn't pay much attention. Not until he meets the owner, Stede Bonnet, who seems like the dream guy Ed's been waiting for. There's just one catch - Stede doesn't do commitment.

    Stede is recently divorced, recently out, and is making up for lost time. Finally able to express a part of himself he's kept hidden, Stede explores his new sex-positive freedom by opening a sex shop, but there's one thing he's too nervous to attempt - actual dating. Casual hookups are easy, but actual relationships are far too intimidating. Then he meets Edward Teach.

    Can Ed & Stede manage being only friends as the two of them grow closer? Or is it worth risking everything to try for something more?

    ~

    A friends to lovers shopkeepers AU - a story about finding yourself later in life, comfort in exploring sexuality and every rom-com trope possible

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet has been a failure his whole life, but that’s not going to happen here. Out in the Wild West, there’s freedom & adventure, and he takes up the position as Sheriff of Revenge so he can have all of that. He might not have the respect of the townsfolk, but he can fix that. No one will say he’s not cut out for life here when he brings in notorious outlaw Blackbeard! He’s escaped everyone who has tried to catch him, and Stede might be a novice, but he has tenacity. If this is what it takes to make people see that he isn't a failure… what other choice does he have?

    Ed Teach is new in Revenge, having just bought a ranch nearby, and Stede fascinates him. Ed’s seen a lot of sheriffs in his time, and none of them have been like Stede. For someone who’s been treading water for a long time, Stede is finally something different, something exciting, and Ed wants to know all he can about him. But Ed really shouldn’t be getting close to the man who is determined to catch Blackbeard, because, well… he’s Blackbeard. And Stede has no idea.

    As they get to know each other, the lines of Stede’s relationships with both Ed and Blackbeard start to blur, and both men have to decide who it is that they really want to be.

    Summary

    As a last hurrah to the end of their marriage, Stede and Mary pack up their sensible Volvo and take themselves and the children on a two-week holiday to an all-inclusive resort island just off the coast of Auckland. On their first night, Stede slips out the door of their suite to stroll along the peaceful shoreline and somehow finds himself in the company of a new friend.

    A Dirty Dancing AU (if you squint) featuring the fiercely supportive, ex-wife goddess: Mary, the canonical experience of Ed and Stede falling for each other entirely too quickly, The Hands Twins, and a Fuckery finale for a touch of flare.

    Summary

    In the adventurer’s paradise of Aotearoa (NZ), Stede Bonnet has dreamt of being a travel guide since he was a boy.

    Unfortunately, being the heir to coach tour company Bonnet Adventures means he’s doomed to a life behind a desk, planning experiences he’ll never have.

    Edward Teach is what they call a world-weary traveler. Having guided nature tours in some of the most extreme environments around the world, he’s seen and done it all – and he’s bored out of his skull.

    When Stede abandons his family to lead a trekking tour of the country, he quickly realizes that he’s in over his head, and looks to more experienced guide, Ed, for guidance.

    Facing high-maintenance travel bloggers, treacherous natural elements and the ever-present feeling that they’ll never be enough, Stede and Ed find new purpose - and each other - on the adventure of a lifetime.
