    Summary

    Another day, another ship’s crew ensorcelled by Ed’s singing, throwing themselves into the sea and leaving their vessel to be dashed upon the rocks. You’d think at some point humans would learn how dangerous the sea was in Ed’s territory and start avoiding it, but luckily for him they didn’t seem to be a terribly clever species.

    That, and to be fair to them, there weren’t a whole lot of survivors swimming out to tell anyone what had happened to all those missing ships.

    Any minute now they’d start diving over the side. Ed added a little trill at the end of the verse, just for fun.

    Any minute now the ship would start faltering, pushed off course by winds without a hand to steer the wheel or tack the sails.

    Any minute now.

    Summary

    Sometimes, it was hard to tell the difference between relaxed and bored. When Ed prodded at his memories, he always came to the same conclusion: he either needed to retire or he needed a new challenge.

    But like The Pussycat Dolls had wisely sung: be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it.

So is geologist Stede Bonnet – the first scientist accepted into NASA’s Apollo training program. When veteran astronaut Ed Teach gets bumped off of the crew for Apollo 17, can Stede possibly fill his shoes?

    Summary

    lie_to_me's summary:

    "'Why the fuck are you here,' Blackbeard growls, bored and dangerous, slanting a glare at Stede.
    Stede’s face does a funny little wobble, but he takes a breath and rights himself. 'Well. I came to apologize, for leaving you. Not showing up, that night. I should never…' he trails off, clears his throat. 'It was badly done of me. It didn’t take me long to figure out what an idiot I’d been, but…it also took me far too long.'
    He pauses, takes a step towards (Edward) Blackbeard. 'I love you, and I should never have left.'
    Edward (Blackbeard) reels.
    A gut wound would have been kinder. He is buffeted by a maelstrom of emotions: hurt and anger and hope and more that he can’t name. He digs his fingers hard into the empty shelf in front of him, stripped of its books and knickknacks and frippery because Stede was gone and Edward hadn’t been able to hold it together for one more minute on a ship so full of his presence.
