Summary
His mother stared at him, wide eyed and more than a little panicked. "Shane, honey, what do you remember?"
He searched his mind for a memory of this game, of the injury - but nothing came to him. The pain worsened, and he groaned, clutching his head. Fuck, that hurt.
"Shane, is okay. Don't hurt yourself more, please." Rozanov said. He moved his hand towards Shane's, trying to grasp hold of it.
Shane swatted him away violently, aghast. What the fuck was he playing at?
"Get the fuck off of me, Rozanov."
Both Rozanov and his mother gaped at him.
"Shane-" Rozanov tried again, but Shane wasn't having it.
He was beginning to panic. It was too much; the too-bright blue lights, his mother's panic, the constant beeping of the monitor, the big gaping whole in his memory, the godawful scratchy feeling of the cheap fabric of the hospital gown - it was all making him lose his fucking mind because it was making him itch and too hot and - and worst of all, Ilya fucking Rozanov was trying to hold his hand and call him sweetheart in front of his mom.

SUBverting the NHL by AurorMist
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
09 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Shane knew that there were no subs in the NHL. But maybe today would change that. Not that anyone else would know.
Hockey was a brutal sport powered by doms and a handful of switches. But no subs. In a fully contact sport, no one wanted to see sub on the ice, getting pushed around night after night.“Our second draft pick for the Montreal Metros goes to… Shane Hollander.”
Well, now there was a sub in the NHL.

to live for the hope of it all by yaz113 for Bananaface

Summary
They're both panting when they break apart again, chests heaving, skin flushed.
"We need rules," Stede says finally, voice low but steady now, every word scraped raw. "Because if we don’t—I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of here again."
"Rules?" Izzy repeats, finally pulling back, eyes narrow.
It starts as a secret. A mistake. A one-time thing that happens again, and again, and again.
No one knows—because Stede and Izzy are very good at pretending. Pretending it’s casual. Pretending they don’t care.
But feelings have a habit of showing up where they’re not wanted, and the problem with pretending is it only works until it doesn’t.Bookmarked by exceedinglymediocre

Summary
"Stede Bonnet, pirate Captain," he proudly announces, sticking a hand out.
The man looks at it for a moment, then takes his hand. When they touch, Stede feels a shiver run through him, like a zap of energy.
"Izzy Hands," the man introduces, slowly pulling his hand away with a slightly confused look. Not an unpleasant one, Stede notes happily.
Izzy. A beautiful name.

Stede has never been interested in anyone before... until he meets Izzy. Luckily, Izzy feels the same way. A S1E2 AU.

Summary
Edward Teach doesn't have an anger problem. At least, he doesn't think he has an anger problem until a road rage incident ends in a car wreck that takes Izzy's leg. When Izzy takes his life, Edward reaches rock bottom.
Six years later, and Edward is getting better. He is in love with Stede Bonnet and going to therapy when his therapist recommends a group for people with anger problems. At least, Edward thinks he is getting better.
Meanwhile, Stede decides the supportive thing to do is be there for Ed, even if it means volunteering at the soup kitchen run by Roach that just so happens to be held at the same time as Ed's meetings. As Ed tries to heal, Stede finds himself struggling to save the homeless people that come to the kitchen - especially one dark man with a missing leg.

Salt and Pepper B&B (& Grill & Tea & Fishing Equipment & Gifts) by hummingbeeoOo

Summary
A collection of modern AU ficlets wherein Stede, Ed and Izzy (and the crew) run a B&B together.
Today on the menu:
Time stretches like toffee, crawling in a haze of half-darkness and half-slumber, but gradually all three of them stir more and more awake — as do their stomachs.
“So: rock, paper, scissors over who goes get breakfast?” asks Ed.
Izzy, still on his side and with his back to the two of them, mumbles:
“Fuck no, you never admit it when you lose. We have to play ten rounds and then you sulk for the rest of the day.”
“I don’t sulk,” says Ed, sulkily.
Or: the boys have an achey morning in bed because they're middle-aged men ravaged by the weather.

Summary
All of these fics are from the same modern-day domestic AU (set in AoNZ). The first in the series, Pillow Talk, covers a timeline of about three years; every other fic is set within that timeline, and beyond. Some of the fics can be read on their own but, since a lot of them will reference to things in Pillow Talk, it's recommended that you start there <3
They might be posted at different times, but each subsequent fic after Pillow Talk will be in chronological order!

Summary
"What's on your mind, babe?"
"Just thinking about our life."
No matter how many times he hears it, and even says it himself, Izzy loves to think of it as theirs. And it is, really. They've shared everything with each other since that wonderful, fateful day nearly three years ago, when a heated night led to so much more.
~~~
Izzy and Stede have been together for almost 3 years, after the night Izzy brings Stede home from the Republic of Pirates. The night Ed left.
But what if, almost 3 years later, Ed comes back? What if life on board the Revenge isn't quite the same as it used to be?
