Summary
Golden eyes hold fast with Ed’s own, and the flapping of the sails above him sounds like the beating of wings. Poetry as a frame, a fragment shaped into finite form of communication, flashes of a structure parting the fog. A man too impossible to be anything but something in a dream.
"I don't know if that's even possible mate," Ed replies, once more moving forwards. This time there is no cliff crumbling away beneath his feet though his stomach swoops low all the same. "When all you see is pieces, how will you ever know if you've seen it all?"
or: Edward Teach is visited by a being from outside reality
(This is a cinematic soundtrack to accompany "It Is the Sea Mingled with the Sun", by OxfordRose and redtailedhawk90.

Summary
There's no excuse for some artistic choices, but Adrian can sure try.
(From a Watchmen kinkmeme prompt whose exact wording I can't remember: it was either "somebody reacts to Batman and Robin" or "somebody reacts to the bat-nipple suit in Batman and Robin". Adrian was the only logical choice, and I make no apologies for the result.)

Summary
Dan's night is not going exactly as planned, but then again, it never does. Shameless buddy fic, featuring mild historical geekery, fluff, and abuse of Eastern mysticism.

Summary
It’s a Sunday morning. Ed is in the kitchen, at the counter, in his socks and his sweats and his ratty t-shirt, hair tied up in a haphazard knot on top of his head, chopping potatoes and tossing them into the small bowl at his side.

Summary
“Props. We kind of thought Blackbeard would spend all of it on you.”
Stede frowns at them. “Why would he do that?”
“‘Cause you’re, like, his sugar baby?”
(or: Stede finds out what a sugar baby is; he and Ed go shopping about it.)

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
A follow up piece to my first OFMD fic - Delicious.
Ed doesn’t sit next to Stede at dinner. Doesn’t think he can face the press of their thighs together under the table. He knows himself too well and after that spectacular moment of weakness in their cabin, and the way he can still feel the heat of Stede’s mouth against his skin, Ed can practically hear the sound of his resolve leaping overboard.
