    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

    Alma Bonnet is a newly-thirteen, bold and intrepid child, and in the process of coming into her own as a teen, she has stowed away on her father's pirate ship.

    When Alma is discovered, now a many-weeks-long journey away from Barbados, wearing a fake beard and clothes that are much too big for her, Ed and Stede must change their plans in order to return her back home, going from fierce pirates to unwitting caretakers.

    Alma's unique charm, wit, and child-like sense of adventure brings out a softer, more protective side in Ed and Stede, who struggle between protecting Alma from the more dangerous aspects of pirate life and letting her find her burgeoning independence.

    Alma's presence makes Ed and Stede reflect upon their own childhoods, and reminds them that "coming of age" never really stops.
