Summary
In the spring of 1897, Stede Bonnet hired a rag-tag crew to renovate his family’s long-abandoned estate in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Among this crew was groundskeeper Edward Teach. Eager to stay updated on the project, Stede began a regular correspondence with Ed.
Years later, upon the discovery of their correspondence carefully tucked away in a clothes-stuffed closet of the manor, historians concluded that they were not, in fact, just very good friends.

Summary
Ed and Stede, close friends since meeting shortly after Stede’s divorce (5 years ago), are tired of looking for love. Stede’s convinced he’s not cut out for dating and relationships, even if it’s finally with men, and Ed has only ever had short-term relationships with no real love.
On New Year’s Eve, the two make a drunken pact: THIS is the year they’ll find love. If by the end of the year they haven't fallen in love with someone, they’ll marry each other, just to finally have a partner. No cowering. They vow to help each other find their “Mr. Right.”
But as the months go by, both start to wonder: has he been in front of me the whole time?

Summary
1877. The town of Revenge Bend sits in the middle of western Kansas, a place where the law lies doggo and outlaws rule. Sometimes, anyway. New sheriff Stede Bonnet hopes to keep peace and order in the town, and maybe figure himself out on the way.
Enter infamous outlaw Edward “Blackbeard” Teach, a man who can be silver-tongued in one breath and malicious in the next. A man spoken of in the same awed tones used for the likes of Jesse James, Belle Starr, or the Dalton Gang. A man who Stede just can’t seem to stop encountering. A man who Stede—
Well, I’m getting ahead of myself.

Summary
This is the canon era with a single change: in this world, through skill and/or difficult circumstances, people can learn the magic of manipulating time and space by drawing maps. Colonial powers train their sea captains in cartography as science so they can claim territory, literally drawing over Indigenous geographies across the globe. Ed, aka Blackbeard, is the most skilled rogue cartographer in the Caribbean, famous for creating spaces on maps where sea creatures assist him in capturing and looting ships. One day, Ed hears about a new rogue cartographer - the Gentleman Pirate, whose piratical maps are full of whimsy and imagination that others lack. They meet and learn that, even across space and time, together they are stronger than any force that tries to tear them apart.

Summary
Ed jerks his head in the direction of the couch in the nearby waiting nook, and prepares himself for impending disaster.
The impending disaster follows. Eagerly.
“I’ve organized everything chronologically,” he says, setting the overstuffed briefcase down and thumbing through some of the piles. “But I can, of course, rearrange the presentation order based on your personal preferences! Alphabetically? Most-to-least amusing? Oh! Or a mystery draw - just pick a random folder without looking! That could be fun, couldn’t it?”
Somewhere, deep in Ed’s soul, a very tiny, very tired voice goes: there is something deeply wrong with you as a man, Ed. You’re into this. Don’t even try to fucking deny it.
(Or: Stede Bonnet is getting his first tattoo. Maybe. If Ed is able to rifle through Stede's entire briefcase of ideas and pro/con lists and flow charts and excel spreadsheets, and figure out what he actually wants. Which might take some time. A Reverse Big Bang 2025 fic with art by bbyteach!)
