Summary
In the adventurer’s paradise of Aotearoa (NZ), Stede Bonnet has dreamt of being a travel guide since he was a boy.
Unfortunately, being the heir to coach tour company Bonnet Adventures means he’s doomed to a life behind a desk, planning experiences he’ll never have.
Edward Teach is what they call a world-weary traveler. Having guided nature tours in some of the most extreme environments around the world, he’s seen and done it all – and he’s bored out of his skull.
When Stede abandons his family to lead a trekking tour of the country, he quickly realizes that he’s in over his head, and looks to more experienced guide, Ed, for guidance.
Facing high-maintenance travel bloggers, treacherous natural elements and the ever-present feeling that they’ll never be enough, Stede and Ed find new purpose - and each other - on the adventure of a lifetime.

Summary
The footprints kept going, down onto the sand of the beach and there he was. Thank fuck. There he was, sitting motionless on the sand, hands on his upraised knees, and God, Ed’s heart twisted in on itself, remembering another place, another time, another beach.
How are you taking this so well, Stede had asked. How are you taking this so well? He hadn’t thought about it then. Hadn’t thought about it until now, if he was honest. Ed had thought he was clinging onto the Blackbeard thing, but now, in hindsight, he started to wonder. Wonder if maybe Stede wasn’t taking it well. Like he hadn’t been then, only Ed hadn’t known. Hard to tell when he didn’t… do what? Shout? Rage? Throw things? That’s what everyone did, wasn’t it? That’s how Ed knew people were pissed or worried or whatever.
But this…
This was what Stede did then too.Spoilers for all of S2

Summary
People would be lining up to see a Gentleman Conjurer, expecting something special.
Trouble was Stede wasn’t.
Lucius had worked around people with the gift before. Most of them were complete tossers who thought the sun shone out their arse because they could singe their handkerchief with their fingertips. Yeah, there were different levels of it. Best of the best were the ones sitting in Parliament or working in the many places the Queen ruled over, making sure to keep it that way.
Stede… wasn’t.
He wasn’t anything, really.A 19th century Stage Magicians AU... or is it?

Summary
Ed's minding his business when the new neighbor's kid comes around holding a human puppet. It's creepy as hell, but as soon as the kid's father rounds the corner, Ed doesn't mind.
ETA: Podfic available here from Kninjaknitter my darling dearest
“Hello,” says the strangest voice Ed’s ever heard, jolting him out of his reverie, sending his heart speeding into chaos.He opens his eyes and he’s staring straight at a stuffed animal in the shape of a human person. It is bald with a tiny hat and too-big eyes and it wears a blue shirt and a name tag that says Jeffy in the sort of scrawl normally reserved for words written in blood.
A puppet, he realizes several seconds beyond when it would have been appropriate to respond.
