Summary
“You don’t need to worry about me.”
It’s the first thing he’s said so far that’s true.
Aizawa puts his pen down and tries to hold his gaze. “Don’t I?”
Shoto does look away this time, out to the common room, where his classmates are melted into couches and rugs. No, Sensei doesn’t need to worry about him. But honestly… maybe he should anyway. Things have been… That is, ever since Endeavor became Number One, he’s been…
or,
Shoto meets his long-dead brother by chance, in a dingy alley, a month before a week-long break from school. It all kind of snowballs from there.

Summary
Adam Jensen is back from the dead. Again.
This time, it is the world that has changed unrecognizably. Augs are feared and hated by a traumatized public, and the Illuminati stoke the flames from behind their curtain of secrecy. Other divisions are less obvious, but schisms and treachery abound, and enemies—and a few friends—appear in the unlikeliest of places.
He never asked for any of this.

The Hounds of Fate by The_Revenant

Summary
Shoto was born to be a hero in the most literal sense possible. It’s a fate he thought he escaped when he ran away from home some months ago. He’d chosen to forfeit a life in a manor, never wanting for anything material, to scrape the back alleys for even a hint of food. It was a worthy trade, in his opinion, for no luxury item or amenity was worth the expectations and heavy hands, the lack of love, of hope, of self-identity. If he had stayed, he’d lose his humanity, a notion that frightened him far more than death ever could.
He’d thought he had escaped the path laid out for him since before his conception.
Fate, however, does not like to be denied and his is a fate that seems intent on finding him.
---
Or: Shoto becomes an unwitting and exasperated vigilante after running away from home. Aizawa has several doubts about this.

Summary
It's almost the new millennium and Ed Teach, a senior now at Juilliard, is a rising star on his way to fame and, more importantly, money. But success is gained through hard work and a hard heart, and letting anyone in it more than just friends is a recipe for disaster; even if that someone is Stede Bonnet.

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.

That is until he meets Stede Bonnet, who draws his scars into constellations and makes them worth looking at.- Language:

Summary
Fuckeries run rampant when a man puts out to sea.
Be it magic, an act of one god or of several, or a phenomenon purely created by those who venture forth on the unfathomable waves of the deep, the ocean keeps all those who traverse her narrow currents at her tempestuous mercy. Many a sailor has fallen victim to her deceptive pliancy; many a sailor has ignored the augurs in her violent seafoam.
For Stede Bonnet, the fuckery comes from a single-minded focus to find his way across the endless waters. He doesn't hear the warning cry, doesn't see the jibing boom swinging viciously towards the back of his skull, he just feels a black hole of pain before there’s no pain, just black.
For Edward Teach, it's a bottle to the head.

Summary
“When I was a child,” Stede says slowly, faraway and nostalgic. “My mother - she never really spent much time in the kitchen, of course; we had dedicated household staff that handled all the cooking, but there was one thing she used to make herself. She’d melt brown sugar until it bubbled, and it was just on this side of burnt, but not quite? And she’d pour it out and let it harden in these big sheets of transparent, amber-coloured toffee. I used to break off shards and suck it into razor-sharp points; would run around pretending I had a knife, or a prison shank. They made excellent props when playing at being a pirate.”
Stede is sort of lost in the tangent. He’s good at telling stories, even real-life ones, and Ed finds himself getting a bit lost in it, too.
“Your eyes are like that,” says Stede.
“When the sunlight gets them. Like the taste of it. Smoky and sweet,” says Stede.
“Like melty, burnt toffee. They’re so lovely, Ed,” says Stede.
These are the things that Ed collects.
(OR: Ed keeps buried treasure after all. Stede finds his secret stash. Post S2 oneshot with Big Ed feelings as he slowly comes to grips with the fact that he's VERY loved - but we already knew that)

Summary
“What’s this?” Ed says, and tilts the mug towards his eyeline. He’s been doing a good job, so far, of looking everywhere except at Stede.
“Tea in its natural state,” Stede says. “You don’t have to drink it. I didn’t really ask you here for tea.”
Ed hunches like a child, but his hair and stubble is grey as a silverfish. He sounds as bitter as the tea when he says, “What did you really ask me here for, then?”
Or: After Stede comes back to Edward, they both look for forgiveness, and relief.

Summary
Every happy ending has a beginning.
Before the famous Blackbeard, before the romance with a certain Gentleman Pirate, Edward Teach was a young waif, thirteen years old, blood on his hands and the life at sea as a pirate his only escape. Life under the clever but cold Ben Hornigold isn't easy, and less so for the youngest member of the crew who can't seem to stay out of trouble. It takes all of Edward's wit, cunning, and sheer tenacity just to survive, let alone find his own way in the world full of people who want to keep him in his place.
Never Shall We Die is an epic story full of adventure and freedom, wild joy, crushing despair, friends, enemies, mentors and lovers... Watch as Edward Teach grows from a boy to a man, discovering himself and honing his skills to become the greatest pirate the world has ever known.

Summary
One summer day, two unlikely paths cross in the alley behind Bonnet Group’s towering skyscraper: Stede is at the end of his rope, and Ed’s just taking a smoke break. Of course, after they’ve become inseparable, Ed’s past catches up to him as Stede tries to find a way out of his own obligations, and the solace they’ve found in each other is threatened.
“You’re freaking out in here,” Lucius says, shutting the door behind himself. He grabs two rocks glasses from the bar cart and a decanter of the good whisky and sets it all on Stede’s desk.“Astute,” Stede declares. “I’ve asked Ed on a date.”
“Ooh, Mr. Mechanic?” Lucius simpers, and Stede blushes. “Haven’t you two been dating for weeks?”
“Wh—No, we’re friends!” He says.
“Oh, my God, you can’t be serious,” Lucius says.

Summary
Sailors call them watermarks. A gift from the sea, a name or symbol written on your chest, meant to guide you to your own true love.
But Stede Bonnet's mark doesn't look like anything at all. Not really. And it certainly doesn't look like 'Edward' or 'Teach' or 'Blackbeard' or a black beard and that's fine. Completely fine.
Ed's absolutely fine with it.
