Summary
“It looks like there’s a small ship approaching but the fog is too thick to make out how well armed it is. You think it’ll pass by, Ed?”
Ed hummed as he looked through the spyglass. It was true that it was hard to make out detail on the approaching vessel but Ed could tell it was roughly the same size as the Revenge. “I wouldn’t bet on it. I’d get everyone prepared for a potential boarding. It’s possible we can intimidate them enough that they’ll leave us alone. But if we’ve been becalmed I’m certain they have too and a bored crew is a dangerous one.” Ed studied the ship again and his heart dropped. He whipped his head around looking at the ocean then back at the Revenge and back to the ocean again. Stede watched the color drain from his face and panic blossom behind his eyes. Before Stede could say anything Ed turned and looked him in the eyes.
“Get below deck now!” Ed ordered.
Inspired by Jordan Peele’s movie Us. Don’t ask me how that makes sense in canon era I don’t know. Just roll with the logical fallacies.
During Ed and Stede’s honeymoon a mysterious fog rolls in. The ship in the fog is eerily reminiscent of the Revenge and its crew even more so.

Summary
“Do you think it always ends like this?” Stede asked.
“No,” Ed said, and he knew that was true. “I think it usually ends happy.”
“Lucky us, then.”
“Oh, I dunno,” Ed said, lifting his head, not willing to deprive himself of any kisses, not now. “I’m pretty happy. We had a good go of it, didn’t we, babe?”
“I just wish I’d found you sooner.”
“We can make up for that,” Ed said, “next time.”In every version of their lives, Ed and Stede find each other. Always.

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
“Stede,” Ed asks, when they’re eating dinner with the rest of the crew.
“Mm-hmm?” Stede hums, focused downward on Ari, trying and failing to get him to eat a bit of bitter melon. He’s not going to win, Ed already knows. Kid’s got too strong a sweet tooth, even without teeth.
Offering Ari a tiny, squashed-up bit of his own orange, enjoying the grin and shriek of joy he gets when Ari snatches it up and shoves it into his mouth, Ed asks, “Am I doing a good job so far?”
“Of what, darling?” Stede asks, still only half-paying attention. To Ari, he says, “Well, you like that, don’t you?”
Ari shrieks again. Ed gives him a little bit more orange.
“Being a dad,” Ed clarifies.
Stede actually lifts his head, then, and seems to process what Ed’s said, now that he’s finished saying it. His light eyebrows lift, fine face crinkling, and he says, “Of course you are, Ed.”
or: seven tattoos ed got for his family, and one tattoo he got from his family!
