    Summary

    The leather used to be like armour. Protection against a world out to fucking get him when his own skin felt far too softly vulnerable to leave so delicate and exposed. He relished in everything it stood for back then. Found euphoria in the hyper-masculine status it brought him, and the power that came with it. Willingly let it consume him until it became his whole world, because the one beyond the doors of the bars was never any better.

    He built himself a reputation. Blackbeard, the leather daddy Dom.

    As Blackbeard, the world could never harm him. As Blackbeard, his own dysphoria could never touch him. As Blackbeard, he knew he was safe.

    It’s still true, all these years later, but his leathers are worn with age just like the rest of him, and Ed is so tired of playing pretend.

    Summary

    "But something else beside the man’s cash box pulls his attention—something soft and odd and wonderful.
    Stede darts toward it and gently picks it up.
    A fabric doll.
    It’s unlike any doll he’s seen before—adorable and strange in the best way. Mismatched buttons for eyes. Long silver hair. A scruffy gray beard. He wears what looks like an old-fashioned white linen shirt, grayish beige breeches, grey stockings, and black, buckled shoes. There are little tattoos embroidered on his arm—tiny anchors, stars, skulls, and a snake, among others, swirls of thread meant to look like ink.
    Stede hugs it to his chest without thinking.
    He loves it immediately."

    When they’re young, Stede and Ed each get a doll that looks uncannily like the other—though they’ve never met. They grow up just a few miles apart, treating their dolls like best friends: sewing them tiny outfits, bringing them along on every adventure, and confiding in them like old friends. It’s sweet, a little odd, and maybe even a touch magical.
    Years later, when Stede and Ed finally cross paths as adults, they’re struck by a strange, impossible realization: each of them looks exactly like the other’s childhood doll.

    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.

    --or--

    A Mad Men-inspired AU

    Summary

    Ed crossed his arms over his chest and shrugged, casual. “It’s just bodies, Stede. They’re weird. They do stuff sometimes.”

    Stede peered up at him cautiously. “Yeah?”

    “What, you think you’re the first person who’s ever gotten a boner during a physical?” Ed scoffed. “Hate to break it to you, but you’re not special.”

    Granted, no one Ed had treated had ever had an orgasm while Ed’s finger was still inside them but that was neither here nor there.

    **

    Stede comes in for his annual prostate exam. Things do not go as planned.

    Based on that tweet that's like "if y'all having a bad day just letting y'all know my co-worker got his prostate exam and when the doc touched his prostate he nutted immediately and fell down knocking over some equipment"
