Summary:

As long as Izzy has held a sword, he has wielded it for The Kraken. For Blackbeard. For Ed. But then he was kicked out of the party. Then he broke his oath. Then he got possessed by The Kraken. And then, worst of all, he was saved by that fucking poncy bard Stede fucking Bonnet. Actually, scratch that, the worst part was that the bastard didn't even have the decency to keep him kicked out. So now Izzy is still stuck there, with Stede Bonnet's pack of bards, all of which seem to be convinced that the best use of their time is babysitting him. If Izzy thought he had already lived through the worst week of his life, he hadn't seen anything yet.

Long ago, when they were young, Izzy and Ed swore that they would live and die together, that nothing would separate them, not even death. Ed may have broken that vow, and Izzy may be in his grave, but nothing will stop him from keeping faith. So when Ed dies in battle, alone, Izzy sets out to find him...

Kraken's Delights

Words by: Lizzyleo Art by: Akans, SamG
Rated: Explicit Pairing: Gentlebeard

Newly out and freshly divorced Stede Bonnet is not ready to involve anyone else in his life yet, romantic or sexual or otherwise, so he takes matters into his own hands. A late night out with friends and a thumbs up from Lucius brings him to Kraken’s Delights, a custom silicone adult toy webstore. After being intimidated by most of the fantasy toys, and not knowing what half of the other items even are, he goes for a fairly normal toy. While checking out, he’s given the offer to add a small mystery toy for free. He figures why not and goes for it. It’s the best experience in the bedroom of his life. He writes a long (non-graphic) review/thank you email to ‘Ed’, who made and put together his order, according to the card that came in the package.
Ed, owner and head designer of Kraken’s Delights, has never gotten a review like this before. He remembers putting together the order, but never expected anything like this. Messages are exchanged and a chance meeting brings these two face to face.

mock postcard that reads:

Thank you for your purchase!
Your purchase helps support a small queer business. We hope you love your new toy and that it brings you joy for many years to come! (pun intended) If you have any questions or problems, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Your order was made by
Ed

Summary:

Stede Bonnet, daydreamer, is the negative assets manager at LIFE magazine, working in a never-meeting partnership with famous photographer Blackbeard. When LIFE is bought over by Ricky Banes and the magazine is shut down, Blackbeard sends a special negative reel for the final cover. The only problem is, that negative is missing. Will Stede finally take the leap and go and find Blackbeard, and in the process, himself?

A summary of a fic on AO3
"Unknown Number" by KizzyMeowMeow

Summary:
Stede Bonnet is a recently divorced, mild-mannered English teacher with a passion for literature and a tendency to overthink. After relocating from Auckland to Wellington in search of a fresh start, he begins receiving anonymous text messages meant for someone’s long-lost love.

At first, he’s hesitant to reply, worried that reaching out might ruin the mystery and scare off the sender. But he eventually finds himself texting with Ed Teach, a brooding theatre technician whose presence turns Stede’s quiet new life upside down.

As their connection deepens, Stede finds himself rethinking everything: his love life, his career, and even his growing friendship with Lucius, a fellow teacher facing marital struggles of his own.

🚨Unknown Number🚨

Ed/Stede modern AU for #OFMDBigBang2025 with background Lu&Stede and Lu/Pete and a huge soft spot for my dearest love Izzy.

Title: One Hundred Years. Author: teaDragon. Summary:A crew conducts a daring raid on the ship of the Mad Wizard Low, rescuing a man who's lost his memories. As Stede adjusts to his new life onboard a pirate ship, fleeing from the wrath of the wizard and trying to avoid the navy of the Immortal King, he tries to piece together what happened to him. How long was he locked away? What did Mad Low want with him? And is he really just an average human mortal man? Haunted by a recurring dream of a beautiful man in a raven mask and the burning conviction someone he loves very much is out there, Stede searches for answers, and begins to suspect he may have had a role in a failed magical ritual that plunged the world into chaos and flooding—held only at bay by the mysterious Blackbeard.
