Summary
Stede Bonnet is 18 and about to start college. His entire life is mapped out for him - first college, then working for his father at BonnetCorp, then marriage to Mary Allamby - and that's the way he likes it.
Ed Teach is also 18 and about to start college as well. He's got plans for his life, and those plans don't include romance. He's ambitious and a bit of a hound, and that's the way HE likes it.
Two worlds are about to collide.
An "Our Flag Means Pride" Fundraiser commission fic. The title comes from the song "Impossible" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, for reasons that will become clear!

Summary
Ed took advantage of the all-too-brief period of solitude to lean against his office wall and close his eyes. Visions danced in his head, not of sugarplums, but of soft golden curls, a dazzling dimpled smile, and those amazing legs.
“Oh, no,” he groaned quietly. “That is so inconvenient.”
You can’t get a crush on an employee. You can’t. It’s number one on the list of Things Thou Shalt Not Do When Thou Becomest a Politician.
His head wasn’t getting the memo, and neither was his heart. Too bad. They’d just have to lump it.

This is for the "For Love, Actually" event of Christmas, 2025. I OFMD-ified the "Prime Minister/Natalie" subplot from Love, Actually by setting it in the fictional country of Concordia, and the main cast of characters is as follows:
Prime Minister ("David" in the movie): Ed
His Assistant ("Natalie"): Stede
His Chauffeur/Bodyguard ("Terry/Gavin"): Izzy
His Personal Secretary ("Annie"): the Badminton twins
American President: Jack RackhamEnjoy!

Summary
Stede's having a bad day. His toaster has stopped working, his library book has gone missing, and now his bathroom lights won't turn on. It's like he's been cursed ...
... or possibly blessed, because the guy who's come to fix his lights - one Ed Teach, owner of Blackbeard's Lighting, Lamps and LEDs - is just Stede's type. Trouble is, Stede can't bring himself to ask Ed out, and once the fix is complete, Ed will leave his life forever - or will he? What if Stede's lights break down again and again for some bizarre reason?
This is for Wednesday of Week 3 of Fluffvember 2025. Dialogue - "You're like the break in my day"/"Promise?".

Summary
Stede looked over his shoulder to give Ed a come-hither smile, then he froze. His face became scarlet. “Oh dear!”.
“Hm? What’s wrong?”.
“Er … good afternoon!”, said a voice in an English accent.
Ed’s erection flagged as though he’d been doused with a bucket of icy water. They never got visitors, not ever, so why now?. He instinctively put out his hand to block Stede’s arse from view while turning to glare at the intruder, his other hand planted aggressively on his hip.
OR
Ed and Stede are just about to get up to some sexy shenanigans at their inn when they get an uninvited visitor. Who is he, what does he want, and will Ed be forced to murder him and bury him in the garden before the day is over?
This is for Friday of Week 1 of Fluffvember 2025 - Canon and Post-Canon. It was inspired by delightful art created by Ed Zeppelin, and it can be seen on Bluesky here. They'd said that they'd like to see what fics people could come up with - well, this one's mine!

Summary
I always thought that if Jack and Evelyn - two of my favourite OFMD characters - ever met, the results would be, shall we say, interesting. So, when Murder Widows Weekend (August 30 and 31, 2025) came up, I thought "Now's the time to write it."
This fic takes place after the events of Season 1, Episode 10 ("Wherever You Go, There You Are"), and it's a what-if:
What if Jack survived the cannonball attack in "We Gull Way Back"?
What if he made his way to Bridgetown, caught sight of Evelyn, and became instantly smitten?
What if Evelyn was equally intrigued?
And what if they met face-to-face under less than ideal circumstances?

But Shane’s never been good at saying no to Rozanov.
