Summary
Just as Ed was settling into his enjoyment of the crew’s celebration, his first mate swung down from the rigging and landed on the deck in a clatter of metal and leather. “Stede Fucking Bonnet,” he said. “I fucking challenge you to a fucking duel.” He flung one of the sabers across the deck.
But before Izzy’s sword could reach Stede, Ed snatched it out of the air.
“What the fuck are you doing, Edward?”
“ ‘S a good question isn’t it?” said Edward. What was he doing? He wasn’t sure, himself, but he had a weapon in his hand. “Looks like we’re having a bit of a sword fight,” he said.
What if Ed had protected Stede and dueled Izzy?

Summary
“What about the other thing I asked you about earlier?” said Oluwande.
“Huh?” said Jim.
“You know, your pronouns. Like whether we should say “he” or--”
“I know what a fucking pronoun is.”
“Right. No need to rush. Just, um. Look. When you aren’t around, and people want to talk about you, what should I--”
“Tell them they shouldn’t talk about me behind my back.”
Jim has been hiding under a fake beard and hiding in a fake-matelotage for months, and now Jim is unmasked and everyone is asking questions. How does a monomaniacal assassin find friendship and love when they don't even know who they are themself?

Summary
“You chose not to return to your family for the holidays,” Snape said.
Harry said nothing.
“Your name,” continued the professor, “was one of the first ones down on the list.” He tilted his head and studied Harry. “Almost as if you’d never bothered to write home to even consult with your Aunt and Uncle.” He tsked. “What kind of a child does that?”

Summary
An accident leaves Izzy missing a decade of his memory. Last he remembers, he was on The Whydah with Ed and Sam, and nobody seems to be willing to tell him what the fuck happened in the last 10 years to change that.
---
"Ed," Stede said softly. "Who's Sam?"
Ed flinched. He glanced at Izzy, ensuring he was asleep before speaking. He couldn't lie, not to Stede. His voice came out thick. "Sam," Ed said gently, "was Izzy's husband."

Izzy angst. And then sweet, sweet love. Like our cantakerous first mate deserves.

Summary
Lighthouse Bookshop had been there seemingly since time immemorial. Over forty years at that spot, sitting proud, a beacon at the heart of the community, and when the old owner decides to sell, it's the perfect vessel for Stede's odd restlessness.
And the building is connected to a famous cocktail bar run by a mad genius behind the stick.
One problem: Stede's still married.

This AU is soft, lyrical, beautifully realistic. A little light angst and SO much love and healing. Everyone in the fandom should read it.

Summary
Just because Izzy is a part of the crew now doesn't mean that hes suddenly on board with everything they do. He complains about every little thing, and finds fault in every management decision.
Except one.

Summary
In which Stede Bonnet discovers his inner sadist, Izzy Hands discovers care & love as it fits him, and Ed gets to be as soft as he's ever wanted to be. Just not without a few scars along the way.
Post season 1 reunion fic with a focus on Stizzy/Gentlehands as a leadup to eventual Steddy Hands. Accuracy around history, piracy, and medicine are on the backburner. It's eventually very hopeful and loving, I think, but it takes a little while to get there. Check the notes at the beginning (and beginnings of each chapter) for more trigger/content warnings.

Angsty, poly, heavy kink between Izzy/Ed/Stede. Masterfully done, beautiful and haunting and healing.

Summary
An Our Flag Means Death gay bar social media AU
Newly out and separated from Mary, Stede stumbles into his Minneapolis neighborhood gay bar, Jackie's Place, on Pirate Night. The crew adopts him and with a Grindr tap, his life changes. Ed, a disenchanted leather daddy, is fascinated with Stede at first sight. Hijinks ensue.
I'm porting this here from Twitter for archival purposes (haha).
I interpreted SMAU in this way: the fic is written in group chats, Instagram posts, Twitter threads, and text threads, interspersed with interludes of narrative.
There is no on-page sex but there is a lot of frank discussion of sex/NSFW visual content in this fic. Be warned.
Word count is actually ~20k
I coded this so that the images would scale to the size of your screen. On my side of things, it's best read on a phone.
