Summary
Ed and Stede Bonnet-Teach have made a name for themselves as paranormal investigators, and they’ll be the first to tell you that most of the time, a “haunting” is no more than loud pipes and creaky walls. But when new homeowners Lucius and Pete Spriggs ask them for help with strange happenings on the huge plot of land they purchased for surprisingly cheap, Ed and Stede are thrust straight into a centuries-old mystery: what happened to Blackbeard and the Gentleman Pirate? And why are their ghosts so fucking angry?
A reincarnation/soulmates AU! Mind the tags, but also rest assured that every character alive at the start is still alive by the ending!

Summary
City boy Ed Teach is tired of his life in New York and needs an escape. He drives up to his mother's house in small-town Bennet Bay, Maine, on a whim, hoping some time away from the city will help him clear his head. The last thing he expects to find there is the love of his life in Stede Bonnet, the proprietor of a popular cafe/bookstore nestled in the town's charming main street. But will Ed be brave enough to embrace small-town life and settle down with Stede? Or will the siren call of his life back in the city be too strong to resist?

Summary
It's the late 90s. Stede, a senior in high school, takes a job at a local fast food franchise to earn some cash, hoping to make it out without his father's help. His trainer at work, Ed, wants to escape too. Maybe together they can get somewhere. Anywhere is better.
They'll get out, sure. But they have a whole lot to learn.
Childhood friends to lovers who don't talk about it to strangers to lovers, basically. Some angst, but hopefully balanced.
Thrilled to say this has been podfic'd by Lindie, the best who ever done it. Link here.

Summary
Over the past few days, Ed has been keeping himself at a distance. Stede doesn’t blame him: he’s been distant too. Doesn’t stop Stede from missing him, though. Stede’s been a bad boyfriend, he thinks. In the summertime he was able to take Ed out on day trips, shower him with little gifts, take him dancing without a care in the world. Now that ice is growing thicker and thicker on their doorstep, he feels like it’s grown between him and Ed as well. Nothing seems to melt it.

Or, Ed and Stede talk it through. It's not all smooth sailing.

Summary
Renown sorcerer and legendary pirate captain Edward Teach runs into a fascinating little man by the name of Thomas, selling items enchanted with a magic far wilder and more potent than any Ed’s seen in his supernaturally long life. Fascinated, Ed quickly realises Thomas is hiding an incredibly dangerous secret behind his obviously fake moustache and sunshine voice. Dangerous enough to attract the attention of the Empire, notorious for collecting the magically inclined and bending them to do their bidding.
As Ed races to unravel the mystery surrounding the man, he realizes they have far more in common than he could have ever imagined - and finds his own painful past mirrored in the eyes of another. Someone who can really see him for who he is.
With slumbering gods and ancient deities roaming the lands, magic is sought after by the rich and powerful, a weapon and a tool to further their interests and fuel their wars. Those who can wield it must choose what they stand for, who they’ll fight for, and how far they’ll go to keep their freedom.
