    Summary

    “The details of your assignment are of a … personal nature," says Gaara. “I couldn’t risk any documentation of the specifics of the request.”

    “Is something wrong?” Lee’s heart jackrabbits in his chest. “Are you in danger? Is it—?”

    Gaara inhales so sharply that Lee can nearly feel it against his ear, despite the wires and miles between them.

    “Lee, I want you to spend my heat with me.”

    Summary

    Only once they were out of sight of the café did the man stop and take his arm away, giving Stede a sheepish little grin. “Looked like you needed rescuing back there,” he said, and then held out his free hand. “I’m Ed.”

    Stede, still a little dumbfounded, grasped Ed’s hand in a weak shake. “Stede. Stede Bonnet. I’ll pay you back for the tea, I promise. I get paid next week.”

    ------

    A modern AU where Ed saves Stede from embarrassment in a café, and then suddenly accidental sugar daddy happens. This is a prompt fill from the OFMD kink meme, the fic is all complete and a new chapter will be posted weekly.

    ETA: A podfic version of this fic, read by the incomparable SD_Ryan, is available 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

    Stede fell in love with Ed the day they met, the moment the man walked into Stede’s newly opened bakery and breathed reverently, “Holy shit, this is fucking insane.”

    The only hitch? Stede is pretty sure Ed is married and off-limits.

    Until a few weeks later, Ed kisses him.

    Otherwise known as the fic where Stede assumes Ed and Izzy are married so he's now part of a throuple, and ends up saving a marriage that didn't actually exist in the first place.

    Summary

    Izzy finds himself fired from The Revenge and is left to fend for himself, only to be caught for crimes he committed on Blackbeard's behalf. His treatment aboard a privateer ship leaves him plenty of time to think about forgiving Stede for who he is, and come to terms with his feelings for Ed.

    [          “Sorry about all this, Izzy. It’s just that you’re making the crew a bit anxious,” Bonnet said.
              Izzy had tried to meet Edward’s gaze, but he avoided it. Bonnet clapped him on the shoulder and he pulled away with a low snarl. Izzy didn’t know what this was about, but he had a strong feeling it had nothing to do with the crew. This had to do with the three of them. This had to do with the way Izzy showed absolute disdain for Stede’s presence, the way he pined for Edward. He thought he hid it well, but that was foolish.
              Any man with eyes could see he was in love with Edward and that he hated Stede for swooping in and stealing him.
              “It’s not personal, Israel.”
              “Yes, it fucking is.”]
