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
"But something else beside the man’s cash box pulls his attention—something soft and odd and wonderful.
Stede darts toward it and gently picks it up.
A fabric doll.
It’s unlike any doll he’s seen before—adorable and strange in the best way. Mismatched buttons for eyes. Long silver hair. A scruffy gray beard. He wears what looks like an old-fashioned white linen shirt, grayish beige breeches, grey stockings, and black, buckled shoes. There are little tattoos embroidered on his arm—tiny anchors, stars, skulls, and a snake, among others, swirls of thread meant to look like ink.
Stede hugs it to his chest without thinking.
He loves it immediately."When they’re young, Stede and Ed each get a doll that looks uncannily like the other—though they’ve never met. They grow up just a few miles apart, treating their dolls like best friends: sewing them tiny outfits, bringing them along on every adventure, and confiding in them like old friends. It’s sweet, a little odd, and maybe even a touch magical.
Years later, when Stede and Ed finally cross paths as adults, they’re struck by a strange, impossible realization: each of them looks exactly like the other’s childhood doll. -

Summary
A tale as old as time. Sort of.
There's a curse, and a beast who can only be returned to human form if someone learns to love all of him. There's a man who needs to learn to love, or at least that it's okay to do so. There's also a book loving beauty longing for adventure who could possibly help them both.
There's also the requisite prince though he's anything but charming. Actually, he's a bit nasally and a little derranged and has designs on our book lover who, frankly, would rather be traded for his father's life than ever marry that arsehole. A prince who would love nothing more than to be the one to take down the Kraken and his loyal first mate, especially as he fears the man he wants to marry has fallen for them both.A Beauty and the Beast, Our Flag Means Death story.

Summary
Blackbeard has always been a legend, but Ed never imagined he might be a curse.
When Ed spots a man with golden hair aboard a ship he’s meant to raid, something inside him shifts. He can’t do it. Instead, he orders his crew to follow, desperate to know more about the man who has captured his attention.
But on the night of a vicious storm, his obsession turns to horror—the ship is dragged beneath the waves by a monstrous, tentacled beast.
Ed should move on. Forget him. But he can’t. Because the golden-haired man, Stede Bonnet, isn’t entirely gone. His ship resurfaces as a ghostly apparition, and Stede himself lingers—cursed, caught between life and death.
As Ed fights to break Stede’s curse, he starts losing time, waking drenched in seawater with flashes of memories that aren’t his own—memories of rage, of destruction, of dragging ships into the deep.
And when the truth begins to surface, Ed is forced to face his deepest fear.
What if he is the monster that took Stede’s ship? What if he is the Kraken?
Now, with dark forces working to keep them apart, Ed must race to uncover the truth before it’s too late—before he loses himself completely, before the sea claims Stede forever.

Summary
The coastal city of Warden Port is a thriving hotspot of pirate tourism, rumoured to be the death place of Blackbeard himself three hundred years ago. Legends say that as he was struck down by the heroic Prince Banes he cursed the town, vowing to one day return and swallow it whole in revenge.
Some say Blackbeard is searching for his decapitated head. Others claim he won’t rest until the city is freed from colonial rule. But when Mayor Ricky Banes unveils a statue of his ancestor defeating the notorious pirate, it sets the curse into motion and plunges the city into supernatural chaos, giving everyone a chance to find out exactly what Blackbeard is after. Guided by past life memories and half remembered dreams, historic folklore expert Stede and his friends must try and stop the curse and expose what really happened that fateful night–before it’s too late.

Summary
„What is that? A- a cat? The flag’s supposed to be scary!” Roach asked.
“Yeah, cats are terrifying, everyone knows that. They’re witches and they’ve got knives in their feet,” Frenchie replied with ease.
A few minutes later he sighed as he slid down behind the door he long ago marked with a spell. A grey-brown spotted cat appeared from the thin air and pushed her head into his hand. Frenchie looked down at her with a soft smile.
“Well, Cirmi, I think we can agree that pretending to hate witches while being one is the most genius and stupid plan we’ve ever had.”Frenchie is desperatly trying to hide his witch identity from the crew and the outside world when one Israel Hands gets cursed to see magic.
It doesn't go well. -

Summary
A poem written from the point of view of one of the Revenge crew, writing to Izzy after witnessing his death, and making a plan to bring him back.
Who is this mystery crew member? You decide.
(Originally I wrote this for a supernaturally themed writing challenge, so I was trying to be vague about the OFMD references in order for others to enjoy it - but really it was always a work of fanfic!)

Summary
"No," Ed agrees. "I loved you, too. Don't know if you knew that. I loved you, so I tore you apart and fed you bits of yourself. What's eating you, Iz?"
Izzy understands, finally. "I am."
But you fed me, he wants to say. You fed that starving thing, my heart. Fed my affliction. My affection. So when you fed me myself, I thanked you.
"That's right. And aren't you hungry, Izzy? Doesn't it hurt?"
"Ouroboros," Izzy says.
"Yeah. Stop chasing your tail, Iz."
"You don't need me."
"No. Could live without you. Wouldn't like it, but I could."
"I thought you were supposed to be convincing me to live." He's suddenly, violently, angry. "Doing a fucking shit job, Eddie. Did you come to rub my nose in it? Is that what this is?"
"You're missing the point, Izzy. I'm not the point."
