    Summary

    Stede stares at Ed, whose expression is eager. “Why do you want to know all this?”

    Ed shrugs and grins. “Stede, c’mon.” He raises his eyebrows. “Of course I wanna know how often you dreamed about penetrating Izzy with your sword.”

    When Stede tells Ed and Izzy he's had dreams about killing Izzy, Ed doesn't react like Stede thought it would.
    For some reason, Ed thinks the dream means Stede wants to have sex with Izzy.
    Stede is less convinced, but agrees to give it some thought.

    Summary

    With Inaltus taken care of, and some last-minute shenanigans dealt with, Stede, Ed, Izzy, Lucius and Pete head off to enjoy their long-awaited polymoon in style. When they get home, things finally seem to be going back to normal... until the Bellringers come calling, with an offer the boys can't quite refuse, and a whole raft of new problems along with it.

    And that's not even counting the crack-dealing lesbians, the international visitors, or the challenge of trying to plan Jack and Maynard's wedding.

    And let's not get started on what Ricky Banes is really up to...

    Ask not for whom the bell tolls... because you might just find out!

    Summary

    On the surface, Stede and Charlotte Bonnet are eccentric philanthropists and successful business leaders. In reality, they’re former MI5 operatives whose marriage is both a profound love story and a carefully maintained cover. Their company, BonaBon, isn’t just logistics and security...it’s a front for a much larger game.

    When Edward “Blackbeard” Teach, Israel Hands, and crew of consultants enter their lives to broker a high-stakes partnership, the dynamic shifts. Stede finds himself drawn to Ed in ways that blur the line between business and personal, while Charlotte battles the suffocating control of her father, the Home Secretary, whose reach and cruelty still haunt her. Beneath the witty banter there’s a simmering web of betrayal, coded loyalties, and the looming shadow of government conspiracies.

    This isn’t just about deals and espionage. It’s about chosen family versus blood, about reclaiming agency from abusive legacies, and about whether love can survive when everything around you is a carefully crafted mask. If you love stories that weave sharp humor with slow-burn tension, political intrigue with deeply human relationships, and espionage with romance, Project Lavender is for you.

    Summary

    Ed's career has stagnated. Ed's everything has stagnated. At thirty, he has no idea who he is or where he wants to go, and maybe it doesn't matter at this stage. Even Stede seems more of a dream then a reality. Can a holiday across Europe with Anne help him find himself? Maybe. But when you're as famous as Ed Teach, the world is never far from your door.

    Izzy is doing as best he can to help keep Ed afloat in an increasingly complicated world. It's hard work, but someone has to do it. And if he doesn't, if he takes one day off, what does that make him? What does he have to contribute? Is it a good idea to stay with Ed at all? Or is there a better opportunity waiting in the wings? He might find out if Bonnet would leave him the fuck alone.

    Summary

    Arts and crafts day goes extremely awry when Stede, Alma, Louis, and Lucius are somehow pulled from 2025 into the old oil seascape they embellished together. Unfortunately, what they added to the waves was a 1717 pirate battle surrounded by vicious hungry sea monsters.

    Now Stede's the captive of a mouldy maniac, spared from threats of gruesome torture only as long as he keeps sharing all the Mozart and Bach he can remember from the future, while Lucius and the kids were saved from becoming sabre-toothed shark poo by the crew of the legendary Blackbeard, who is really nothing like the stories.

    Sometimes you find your family in very unexpected places. And sometimes a mutiny and a velvety suit help.

    Summary

    Edward Teach became famous in the 1980s for his striking photography. He pushed past the bullshit of fame as a big “fuck you” to everyone who thought it better for queers to die en mass from AIDS than to fund an ounce of basic research and prevention. Since then, he's become a photography professor and bizarre trope of an artist who feels nothing and hates art.

    Stede Bonnet moved to Baltimore to start a Community and Art Center, bring people together, and spread his love of photography. His favorite photographer is known as Blackbeard. What could happen when he meets a man named Ed who seems interested in his photography?

    Alternating POV featuring hidden celebrity artist identity tropes, Stede Bonnet as the most confident and clueless cis white man we know, history of ACT UP, the grief of surviving a plague, and a lot of flamingo references.
