Summary
“Let’s make this fucker squirm,” Izzy said.
“I’ve got just the thing,” Ed replied, still watching that dimple as he hit an opening chord on the Stang. Then he grinned as half the crowd, including Posh Git, jumped half out of their skin.
“We’re ready on this one?” Ivan asked delightedly. “Fuck yeah, bruv!”
“Whatever you say, boss,” Izzy said, eyeing him in a way that was perhaps a little more distrusting than he would’ve expected out of his best friend for twenty fucking years, but ok. He shrugged, loosening his shoulders beneath his leather waistcoat, and counted off.

Summary
Ed's tattoos have stories to tell.
----
“Now, close your eyes. Try not to think about anything.”
Stede wonders what kind of game this is, exactly. Ed’s skin is warm as ever under his hand and it’s silly, but he fancies he can feel the small crosses and pin-prick stars as warmer still, heating up against his palm.
The pulse in Ed’s thumb beats in time with the pulse in Stede’s wrist.
Ed starts to hum. It’s a low rumble, gently swooping between deep tones; the design under Stede’s hand gets hotter and hotter. It feels red and sharp. Stede feels the vibration of Ed’s humming inside him as though it’s coming from his own chest.
Stede’s eyes are closed but he sees—feels—knows the room around him is receding. The walls are rushing away. The gentle rocking isn’t the Revenge riding the ocean swell, but their bed floating amongst waves. He can smell a sharp sting of salt and feel a biting wind on his cheeks.
Ed speaks, but the humming doesn’t stop. “Can you see it?”
He can.

Summary
It’s Paris in the summer of 2024, and world-famous diving champion Ed Teach is representing New Zealand in what could be his final Olympics. After coming back from an almost career-ending injury he’s focussed everything he's got on winning gold at these Games, but when he meets Stede Bonnet—a first-time diving rival representing Barbados—at the infamous free condom handout and then discovers they're roommates, he’s suddenly got a lot more to think about.
As Ed’s synchronisation with his long-term diving partner Izzy Hands begins to falter and Stede struggles with his confidence, believing in each other might be the only thing that gets them both through. In between, they're going to take this brief, fated time together to connect in every possible way they can.

Summary
In a last ditch effort to save his crumbling marriage, Stede Bonnet decides to take an early retirement to focus on his family. His plan: to have a beautiful, custom tiny home built in secret to travel the country with his wife and children.
Edward Teach has been building tiny homes for nearly a decade, and after so many builds under his belt they tend to become standard and repetitive - until an inquiry comes in asking for the most ridiculous, expensive, and quite possibly impossible request he's ever received.

Summary
Stede knows that kissing a handsome man for a scene (many scenes, even) doesn’t mean a thing. It’s the first part of the job an actor must accept: there are roles which will require a level of intimacy that feels real, and in the moment, that realness will aid the performance, but one must understand that what happens when the cameras are rolling means nothing when they’ve stopped.
This has never been a problem for Stede before. His affections build slowly and even then, he’s not sure he’s ever truly been in love. Fond, yes. Intrigued sexually? Occasionally. But love as a concept is a little elusive; he’s read plenty of romance novels and if they’re an accurate depiction, with the grand declarations and the all-consuming thoughts of holding and kissing and never parting ways… he’s never experienced that.
Which is why, when he was cast to play Edward’s love interest for a romantic comedy, knowing even then what a handsome man Ed is, he expected it to be a pleasant experience, (fun, even!) but ultimately just like any other role.

Summary
There's a new guy on the lot that is going to sub in after Jack's unfortunate accident, and Ed's already rolling his eyes thinking about who's going to walk through that door. He definitely doesn't expect a kind, funny, caring man to waltz into the room and knock him to his knees (emotionally)...
inspired by @aiwasensei's masterful drawing for Day 16 of OFMD JanuAUry and @kuinshi25 for their porn names!

Summary
Stede is divorced, rebuilding a life in the UK and working at Jim's non-profit community centre. His 6-month stay is running out and, well, turns out a fake marriage is an option to stay, because tropes are fun. Ed's got his own shit going on, you'll find out more in later chapters, but he thinks a sham marriage to this weird guy is probably going to at least be a bit of a laugh. Will update weekly.

“No, no, absolutely not, Lucius, you didn’t tell me he looked like that!”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Lucius!” Stede hisses. “He’s gorgeous, we are not doing this!”
Lucius is saying something but Stede honestly has no idea what it is because blood is pounding in his ears and the pub has almost entirely emptied and this night has very much gotten away from him and the most stunningly beautiful man has just walked in. And Stede has had four glasses of horrible wine and god, all that leather, and Christ almighty, look at his hair. His hair.
