Summary
Stede, a history professor specializing in the golden age of piracy, is fascinated when art professor Edward Teach joins his humble university’s faculty. Even more fascinating are the rumors that Ed is actually the famous, anonymous artist, Blackbeard. Stede falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.
Across the academic year, Stede tips headfirst into dizzying romance, mind-blowing sex, and happiness he couldn't have dreamed up if he'd tried. He learns lessons he never knew he needed, forcing him to reevaluate everything from his career goals to his relationships with his children. Ed is at the center of it all, teaching Stede at every turn exactly how wonderful life can be—and the startling speed with which fear and hesitation could snatch away his newfound love.
Eventually, the only thing that matters for them both is learning enough about love to stop it from slipping through their fingers.

Summary
If his heart wasn't in it, he thinks he'd be perfectly fine with what he's doing, but the fact of the matter is that Edward Teach is horribly, devastatingly, insanely, head over fucking heels in love with Stede Bonnet, and watching him get himself off on the gifts he has no idea Ed is sending him is only adding fuel to the fire. He doesn't know how much more he can take before he breaks.
This one might just do it.
(or, Ed accidentally on purpose becomes Stede's anonymous sugar daddy and proceeds to fuck around and find out)

Summary
“What kind of party did Lucius say this was?” Ed was starting to get the feeling that it was a rather more specialist gathering than either of them had realised.
Stede hummed. “He said it was a play party, so I assume there’ll be a theatrical performance at some point later on. I wonder where the stage is?”Written for a prompt on the kinkmeme requesting Ed and Stede attending a sex party, Stede being oblivious, and Ed enjoying being admired. Original prompt here.

Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.

“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

Summary
The adventures of the jolly ship Revenge and the rather minimal sleeping arrangements. Well, there were bunks in the Rec room. The captain's quarters. Various couches. Secret rooms. The children's room/Jim & Olu's room. The deck.
Actually there was plenty of bedding. But Stede was still quite distraught to think that Ed might leave because the only place he could find to take his rest was the crow's nest. That just wasn't right, and Stede must do what he could to ensure that Edward was comfortable.
