Summary: After a chance encounter with someone from Stede's past, some of the crew realize that they don't know as much about him as they thought they did. So they do the sensible thing and, rather than asking Stede, mount a detailed investigation. Tragically, they're several hundred years too early to start a podcast.

Relationship: Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet 
Summary: It’s Stede’s fault.
Ed only called him babe, and it was once, and besides which, Frenchie calls people babe all the time and he’s literally aro, so it doesn’t have to mean anything.
But then Stede leans over and says, with a wink “Sweetheart, I’m going to hit the bar, would you like anything?”
Sweetheart.
It's definitely Stede's fault.

Relationship: Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet 
Summary: In his haste to make it inside, Stede had forgotten he parked next to the curb and stumbled against the cement block in spectacular fashion. The toe of his penny loafers was irreparably scuffed, and as if to add insult to injury, Stede was forced to watch his favorite ceramic travel mug shatter on the pavement, taking the last of his favorite small batch roast with it.
Stede's running late, but this time it might actually be fate.

Relationship: Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet 
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.

Relationship: Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet
Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Trans Blackbeard | Edward Teach, Free Use, Spanking, the lightest eensiest weensiest bit of exhibitionism 
Summary: 
Stede should be praised, exalted for his restraint.
Ed is lying on the couch, tummy down, knees bent and legs crossed at the ankles. He’s got a game controller in his hands, big headphones on his head (kitty ears and all), a lollipop in his mouth, lower lip tantalizingly red.
“You fuck,” he grunts into the microphone around the candy, flexing his ankles. “You think you’re carrying?” He yanks it out of his mouth and sets it on the coffee table. “That’s fucking rich.”

Summary: After a break up, Stede comes over to his best buddy Ed's house for a movie night. Is tonight the night that Ed finally tells him how he feels? Maybe, but expect 9,000 words of panic attack first.
Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Friends to Lovers, Oblivious Stede Bonnet, Blackbeard | Edward Teach is Down Bad, brief Stede Bonnet/other, Moulin Rouge (2001) is weirdly central to the premise for some reason, No actual knowledge of Moulin Rouge (2001) needed, Mutual Pining, Idiots in Love, Getting Together 
Note from the author: Hi friends! Here we are, baby's first modern AU. Basically I was watching Moulin Rouge a while back, and the next morning I woke up to a barely legible note that I'm pretty sure says, "Ed over-identifies with Satine???" And, well, here we are. As I mentioned in the tags, no previous knowledge of Moulin Rouge should be necessary here. Enjoy! 💜

Littlefingies on ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/littlefingies/works
Intro to abridged podfic:
I'm creating this work for Voiceteam 2025 for the prompt "Passion Project". This is an abridged podfic of Never Shall We Die, an epic fic telling the story of Edward Teach from the time that he leaves home at 13, just after killing his father. This abridged passage is taken from chapter 5, in which Ed visits the Republic of Pirates for the first time and meets a new friend named Kupe. Ed is 13 in this section. This podfic will be released in three parts.
Author 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.
Tags: Backstory, semi-realistic, Minor Violence, Young Edward, Jack being a dick, hornigold, cw: blood, cw: dark, a canonical exploration, Angst and Humor, edward teach being an absolute menace, edward teach being an absolute badass, Edward Teach inspiring everyone to love and hate him at the same time, As you do, young!Ed, young!Jack, Period-Typical Racism, Period-Slavery, cw: drug use

Cafe ambiance includes Fade Into You by Mazzy Star
Relationship: Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet 
Summary: Novelist Ed Teach, author of The Art of Fuckery, doesn’t expect to bump into a fan when he joins the host of regulars at The Midnight Cafe. Worse, Stede Bonnet doesn’t seem to realise who he is.“Eight chapters, eight romance tropes. One swoonworthy ride.” - The Revenge Times“Percolated perfection of love and joy. A sweet treat for your eyeballs.” - SJ Publishing“It’s fine, I guess, if you like two-person love triangles.” - Nigel Badminton, Critic
