    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.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    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.

    The best fic you will ever read in ODMD.

    A technical and storytelling triumph and queer as hell. READ THIS NOW.
