Summary
The small man looked amused. "You're going to stand under the hand dryer and press the button at ten second intervals? Is that your plan?"
"That or... Or take the shirt off and hold it under and press the button at... ten second intervals..." Yeah, no, that sounded really dumb.
"And you're going to hold up all the poor fuckers who need to take a leak that queue up behind you while you do it? Dressed like a fucking Wall Street suit?" The man took a cigarette out of a pocket in the tight black leather vest he wore, a fucking clove (how original) he lit with a fancy silver zippo encrusted in what looked like emeralds.
"What's my alternative?" Frenchie's patience for this guy was waning.
"Dirty martini down your ass. You'll reek of it all night. Possibly get stopped walking home or to your bus. Maybe get picked up for public intoxication."
"Okay, so what do you suggest?" Frenchie could feel the alcohol in his blood bidding him to parry where the man lunged.
"I'd suggest taking the damn thing off."Bookmarked by Startink

Summary
“Hey, why don’t you write one of these, get yourself out there?”
Stede looked up with a start, to find that Lucius was lifting the newspaper aloft. And showing him the page of personal ads.Stede Bonnet has a bit of a history with personal ads... not that he's ever WRITTEN one, of course. That would be ridiculous. But maybe, with a bit of prompting from his meddling employee and a helping hand from his new friend, he can finally put himself out there and start looking for love. Whether he'll actually find it remains to be seen.

Summary
Professor Edward Teach has been fascinated by pirates since the time he was a child thanks to sharing his name with one of the most famous pirates in the world. He's specialized in them from their history in the distant past to the current iterations of piracy in the modern world. He's finally settled down in an illustrious university to teach his passion when one evening a new name pops up on the class roster.
Stede Bonnet.
It isn't the first time a vampire has been in his class, but it's the first time one of them has pretended to be a famous pirate from the Golden Age. The new student vampire seems to be insistent that Ed's got his facts muddled and is eager to correct him time and time again.
And worse, the man is damnably attractive, well spoken and interesting as fuck, even if he is carrying delusions about being the former Gentleman Pirate.
