    Summary

    “...Mr Teach?”

    “Mm-hm. Says right here, the substitute that covered your class yesterday was an Ed Teach.”

    Stede laughs out loud.

    “You mean to tell me,” he says, “that the substitute’s full, government name was Education Teach?”

    “Edward, I’d expect,” says Lucius, giving Stede a look ordinarily reserved for the particularly dim-witted.

    (Or: Stede has taken one day off. ONE. His classroom is a complete disaster. Who the fuck IS this Ed Teach? He can suck eggs in hell, as far as Stede is concerned. A modern-day enemies-to-lovers teacher AU, because the author is deeply self-indulgent and needed it to happen)

    Summary

    Edward Teach has made quite a name for himself in Hollywood— directing, producing, cleaning up after Jack Rackham's messes— but he's lost some of the magic. When his friends Anne and Mary ask him to come to New York to produce their latest play, Ed finds a fast friend in Stede Bonnet, and maybe something more.

    A late 1970s AU inspired by Orville Peck's song of the same name.

    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

    He threads his way toward the refreshment table, thinking the punch actually does look rather good. There’s someone in front of it, their back turned on the party – someone with familiar gold curls. Edward clears his throat and the man spins round, his cheeks flushing as though he’s been caught doing something untoward.

    “Well – hello!” he says a little breathlessly and Ed is grateful for his knee brace, because he thinks he may have buckled otherwise. “I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Stede Bonnet, otherwise known as the groom. How d’you do?”

    “I’m Edward – Edward Teach,” he replies, shaking Stede’s outstretched hand. His skin is soft and Ed feels a little self-conscious about his own callused and rough palms, but the greeting is over before he knows it, and he searches for the next thing to say. “Otherwise known as the florist.”

    *****

    A modern AU based on Imagine Me & You, in which Edward is a florist who does the flowers for Stede's wedding.
