Summary
Ed has resigned himself to the fact that he's not going to be getting a happy ending. He's bored with his art and unsure if he can be the kind of person he wants to be, and he's tired of trying and of waiting around to see if his life gets better. Just when he's started to plan on not being around for much longer, enter Stede Bonnet. It's still not easy to choose to live, but...with a little help, maybe Ed can give it a go.
A fic about learning to love being alive, even after you've long since given up on it.

Summary
“I hate to say it,” Oluwande broke the quiet. “But maybe Jim’s right. Not that there’s nobody out there for you––I’m sure there’s someone who shares your inclination for show tunes and cashmere––but that you might need a… confidence boost.”
“What do you mean?” Stede asked.
“Somewhere, there’s a person out there, god rest their soul, who’d be ecstatic to date you. You just need the self-assurance to see that, and maybe if you got a bit of practice dating-wise, you’ll start to view it that way too,” Oluwande explained.A lot has changed for Stede Bonnet over the past year. He's discovered that he's gay, amicably separated from his wife, and founded a (soon-to-be) hopping gay bar. He's garnered many new experiences as of late, but the one thing he hasn't been able to track down yet is love. Burned out on dating apps, he takes his worker's advice and seeks out companionship of a sugaring kind. However, Edward Teach seems to be so much more than he had bargained for.

Summary
Stede Bonnet, the son of a wealthy Manhattan real estate tycoon, has no interest in taking over the family business. Recently divorced after coming out as gay and in full mid-life crisis mode, he purchases and opens his own cocktail lounge, The Gentleman Pirate. There's just one problem- he has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
As luck would have it, his antics attract the attention of Brooklyn's local legend Edward Teach, renowned mixologist and owner of Bushwick's hottest goth bar, The Lovecraft. In between bartending lessons and Ed's secret side hustle as a pseudonymous erotica writer, the two men find more than they bargained for in one another. -

Summary

Summary
Stede had met Edward almost two years after the bar had reopened as a gay bar. His crew had expanded to include a wonderfully diverse mix of people and they had suggested running “information nights” for people in the community in need. Obviously, Stede had jumped at the chance. They started with small mixers to encourage people to come and get used to the venue, then shifted into seminars on how to stay safe when dating, places to get contraceptives and PrEP and so much more. Clinics started to book out the venue one evening a month and The Revenge gradually became a bubbling hub of safety and security.
That was when Edward had walked through those sleek black doors, head to toe in black leather and looking for all the world like a pirate of old. He’d introduced himself to Stede, sliding onto a barstool with easy grace.
“The name’s Edward Teach.” He’d held a gloved hand out and Stede had shook it, bemusedly.
“Stede Bonnet.” Edward, as it turned out, had a crew of his own. The people who had been booking The Revenge had been his people, and after months of ongoing back and forth, Edward had finally decided to:
“See what all the fuss was about, mate.”OR: Stede Bonnet runs a gay bar.

Summary
It’s probably close to eleven by the time anyone disturbs him. Ed is halfway through a bouquet and singing along to Cyndi Lauper when the door’s chime alerts him that there’s a customer. He looks up from the mess on the counter, and the first thing he notices is the bright pop of teal.
A man stands in the doorway in a vibrant suit and flattering lavender tie, curled blonde hair coiffed and shimmering like a halo in the sunlight. He doesn’t seem to have noticed Ed, but Ed sure as shit notices him.
