    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

    After the events of Rolling in the Deep, Ed, Stede and Izzy try to find a balance in their relationship. Stede and Izzy still don't agree on everything, but as long as Edward is happy, that's all that matters.

    And Edward is happy. He's got the men he loves, and Blackbeard's reputation to keep them all safe. Never mind the nightmares he's been having, of a monster lurking beneath the waves. Never mind the days when he feels like he can't take the pressure anymore. And never mind the voice in the back of his head, telling him that the people he loves might be better off without him.

    Tie it all to the anchor. Let it sink into the dark.

    Summary

    There’s a lot Ed doesn’t know, lying exhausted and sweaty in a bed too small for two as the crew continues to celebrate above deck. He doesn’t know if this—him and Stede, doing this, right now—was smart. He doesn’t know, either, if he would take it back if he had a chance, or if he’ll even care about the circumstances of their first time after they’ve had their second, their third, their hundredth.

    But what he does know—and it’s a real fucking kicker of a knowing, a months-old wound jammed under his ribs that aches and stings and wants with every breath he takes—that he loves Stede Bonnet.

    Summary

    "There we go. That's it, little fella. Let's get you all patched up, shall we?" Ed coos softly, as he manoeuvres the teeny tiny mizzenmast into position. Working at this scale, every minuscule tremor of his hand seems to be magnified ten-fold. He exhales slowly to steady his hand, then carefully lines up the splintered mast with the base.

    Ed and Stede work together to repair the teeny tiny Revenge. Set in a sort of nebulous time in between episodes 5 and 6 of Season 2.

    Summary

    “Ed?” he said tentatively. “What do you think?”

    “Um…”

    “Oh god, you’re shaking.”

    “Yup. Yeah.” Ed was trembling head to foot. It was a lot of information to process, okay? And it wasn’t just a lot of information. It was potentially life changing information. Stuff that he had long since accepted he would never hear. And it sucked, but he was acclimated to that suckiness. And now here was Stede, throwing him either a lifeline or a fatal blow. He wasn’t sure which one yet.

    “Why are you shaking, Ed?”

    “Because I’ve been in love with you basically since we met, Stede. And you just said you were attracted to my sweat. I’m having a bit of a moment over here.”

    ---

    Stede discovers what attraction feels like for the first time in his life (hint: it's Ed). Ed has a mini crisis about it, then a major crash out, and then the best sex of his life.

    Summary

    Izzy and Ed are friends, first and foremost - no matter how often they hook up in the back room at the bar Izzy manages, or how true it is that Izzy would move heaven and earth for Ed.

    So why is Izzy so jealous of Ed's crush on Stede Bonnet, a textbook trust-fund closet-case who Izzy can't avoid for the life of him? And why is Izzy so obsessed with figuring Stede out?

    Stupid fucking Stede Bonnet.

    Summary

    The woman is talking again—something about being needed on set, something about a Taika—but Stede can’t focus. He clutches the little pills in his hand like they might explode. They’re round. White. Stamped with tiny numbers. Paracetamol. That’s not a word. Not a real word. He swallows.

    Stede and Izzy wake up in a strange version of the future where everyone thinks they’re actors, and must play along while searching for a way home.

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet didn’t expect to find himself on a mission to save his ex-wife from Blackbeard’s wrath. He certainly didn’t expect to be sailing with his supposed true love’s ‘first worst enemy’.
    Nevertheless, after giving up his fortune and identity, reunited with his crew, Stede sets out on this difficult journey. With the help of new friends and a familiar enemy, perhaps Stede can even become a better sailor, a better pirate captain, and find the true meaning of love along the way.

    Izzy Hands had devoted his life to serving the legend of Blackbeard. When he finds himself no longer able to protect Edward from himself, or protect himself from Edward, he doesn’t expect to survive it. Saved from death by more than one man who’s definitely supposed to be dead, Izzy might just find that a life without Blackbeard is not only possible, but good.

    A.K.A. I threw Series 2 in the bin and wrote a totally new one.

    Summary

    Zoro can’t believe he's here, getting wasted with the greatest swordsman the world has ever known. So far.

     

    They're several bottles in, and Zoro has taken up residence on the barstool next to him, matching him glass for glass, feeling the watery frills of that red shirt brush against his bare forearm every time he moves. The room has started gently spinning, the booze is strong, but the other man is watching him with something like grudging respect every time he finishes another glass of the stuff, so it's worth it.

     

    This is great. He's going to get such a good grade in Dracule Mihawk.

     

    So why can't he stop thinking about the damn cook?

     

    Our intrepid crew finally reach Loguetown, where adventure - and danger - awaits them.

    A fic in which Zoro is moping, Sanji is trying not to fall so hard he hurts himself, and Dracule Mihawk is the world's least willing relationship counsellor.

    "Baby steps. Literally," Pete says.

     

    It's the contemporary DJ AU messy break up fix-it fic that absolutely no one asked for!
