Summary
Ed Teach had made a name for himself, that was for certain; a celebrity ad man among a sea of gray suits. And that was why the suggestion to bring him in was absolutely absurd.
“He’d never work here. He’s too good, plus he doesn’t tie himself down.”
“There’s that can-do spirit I’ve always heard about!” Lucius jokes.
“We could at least try,” Jim presses.
There’s no way. “It’s not even what he does,” Stede tries to remind them, but he can already tell which way the tide is turning.
***
It's 1964, and Stede Bonnet runs a small but mighty ad firm in New York City. When their creative director suddenly quits, his agency reaches out to an unconventional replacement.

Summary
Yellow: the color of Mary Bonnet’s life almost half a year after Stede went away to chase his Ed. She has everything she could ever ask for, and even more.
Green: the color of her art gallery opening, flourishing with new promise and potential. It’s also the color of anxiety, which is what she feels when a leathered stranger intrudes upon her debut.
Red: the color Mary sees when two dark strangers dare to interrupt her celebration with her widows. This was supposed to be her night, and this fearsome pair are not welcome.
Blue: the color of the sadness Mary senses lying just beneath the hardened facade of the infamous pirate who’s infiltrated her home. It’s also a color that reminds her of her former husband— someone Blackbeard seems to have a strong connection with. -

“What a fucking mess,” Stede sighs, rubs his eyes on his wrist. “Do you have any other batshit exes we should be preparing for? I think I could take them, I’m just tired of being surprised by it all.”
“Nah, no worries,” Ed says, shaking his head. “Any other homicidal father figures?”
“No, none,” Stede says, smiling grimly.

Summary
Survivor is the ultimate social experiment: stranded on a deserted island, a group of strangers must tackle mental and physical challenges while navigating complex interpersonal dynamics. Each episode, one castaway is voted out until one Sole Survivor remains.
Stede Bonnet has been a Survivor superfan since day one. He's watched every episode he can get his hands on and even owns some memorabilia from the show. He'd love a chance to actually play, although his wife and kids tease that he'd be useless on the island & get voted out first.
Edward Teach, known to Survivor fans as Blackbeard, has played three times and on his second try, he won. He's a beloved fan favorite, although it's been years since his last season. What new experience could he possibly get out of Survivor? What's the point?
You don't need to watch Survivor to read this! Every season of Survivor is designed to be accessible to first-time viewers and the fictional seasons of Survivor depicted here will be no different.
Note: Survivor contestants get very little food, and can experience various physical effects of that. Eating and body image will not be a focus of this fic, but there will be mentions of food and hunger.
