Summary
Ed jerks his head in the direction of the couch in the nearby waiting nook, and prepares himself for impending disaster.
The impending disaster follows. Eagerly.
“I’ve organized everything chronologically,” he says, setting the overstuffed briefcase down and thumbing through some of the piles. “But I can, of course, rearrange the presentation order based on your personal preferences! Alphabetically? Most-to-least amusing? Oh! Or a mystery draw - just pick a random folder without looking! That could be fun, couldn’t it?”
Somewhere, deep in Ed’s soul, a very tiny, very tired voice goes: there is something deeply wrong with you as a man, Ed. You’re into this. Don’t even try to fucking deny it.
(Or: Stede Bonnet is getting his first tattoo. Maybe. If Ed is able to rifle through Stede's entire briefcase of ideas and pro/con lists and flow charts and excel spreadsheets, and figure out what he actually wants. Which might take some time. A Reverse Big Bang 2025 fic with art by bbyteach!)

Summary
In 2025, best friends Ed and Stede are a week away from opening the flagship store for their joint fashion brand, Gentlebeard. Stede finds an ornate mirror in a new antiques shop, and purchases it for the store, despite warnings from a strange blond Scotsman.
In 1718, Ed and Stede are getting ready to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. The crew brings them an anniversary gift, an ornate mirror that they found on a raid, despite Frenchie's insistence that the mirror is cursed.
The mirror may not be cursed, but 2025 Ed and Stede, and 1718 Ed and Stede quickly learn that it is magic when they swap places.
There's just one tiny problem: there aren't any instructions for how to get home again.

Summary
In the dead of night, Stede Bonnet is woken up by a banging on his cottage door. It's Ed Teach and his annoying friend Iggy, who is so direly wounded he might not recover. In a last ditch attempt to save him, Ed and Stede turn to the warlock known as Frenchie, whose music can heal blights and move mountains.
Together they embark on a journey to save Izzy's life. The journey will introduce them to innkeepers and bandits, bounty hunters and royals, Fae beings of the other-world and the ghosts of each other's pasts. It will take them through forests and cities, mountains and crossroads, to the ancient haunts of the Mage King himself.
And if they find their way home again, nothing will ever be the same.

Summary
"Astarion?" Gale voice cuts through the darkness. “Are you quite alr–"
Shadowheart doesn’t see it but she hears it: the sudden sip of breath that comes right before a kiss. A muffled gasp that melts into pleasure. Then, two lungs in tune with each other, sharing space, sharing breath. She presses her gauntlets to her lips and feels their steel warm to her skin.
Lady of Sorrows guide her... had she ever been kissed like that?

Summary
“You will be sacrificed to the sea dragon the night of the next full moon,” his father tells him, in the same matter-of-fact tone he used when informing Stede of his engagement.
Stede stares at him, blood draining away from his face. “What?” he manages. Sacrificed? In two days? He looks at Lord Hornigold, who nods in agreement, and Nigel and Chauncey, who look very pleased. “You mean I’ll… I’ll die?”
“To keep our people safe,” his father says.
“Ned has to be placated and it’s only the blood of a royal virgin that appeases him,” Lord Hornigold explains.
Prince Stede Bonnet is seconds away from being sacrificed to a sea dragon when a sea monster named Ed rescues him instead.
Maybe Stede can return the favour. -

Summary
When Stede was a young fairy, his mother told him stories about a ferocious Byrd that never touched the ground. These mysterious creatures were said to have called themselves Hāringi. Some fae were convinced the Hāringi were a warning, an omen of ill fortune and despair. Others believed the creatures to be myth, nothing more than a tale created to scare younglings. To Stede, they were everything. Shackled to his duty as heir to his father’s kingdom, Stede never had the chance to fly and travel as his peers did. To him, the Hāringi represented never ending adventure, and the freedom to live the life he wanted, rather than the one chosen for him.

“I told you this was a terrible idea,” Astarion hissed, folding his arms over his bare chest and giving Gale his best deadly look.
“You did no such thing,” Gale snapped back. “If I remember correctly, you were the one who decided that it was a good idea to engage in carnal pleasure whilst I was stuck in a portal -”
“It’s not my fault your arse looked so delectable,” Astarion sniffed.
“It’s not my fault you can’t seem to control yourself around my arse!”

Summary
Edward Teach has been a part of MI-5 for over twenty years, a ruthless agent known for closing cases no matter the cost. Through his long career, though, he's never encountered a person as strange and frustrating as the Gentleman.
The man is a ghost, a quiet hand that slices through the underbelly of the upper class through blackmail, robbery and hacking that leaves the wealthy fearing drawing his attention. Ed's tried to corner him, but every time the Gentleman eludes him in an elaborate game of cat and mouse. It's become his obsession, his calling, and for years he's remained little more than a phantom in the underworld.
Enter Stede Bonnet, a computer specialist that partners with Ed to try and trace down the digital footprints of the Gentleman. Stede's bright and brilliant, funny and uniquely positioned to understand the motivations of the upper class. He's also handsome and fascinating in a way that makes Ed painfully aware he's falling for his partner.
