Doubt Thou the Stars Are Fire
Ed is directing his senior thesis project, a student-run production of Hamlet. He's feeling uninspired by the process until one Stede Bonnet auditions for the leading role. A college theatre SMAU.
To Have and to Hold
It is perhaps the most unusual arranged marriage Stede has ever heard of.
He had always expected to be married off, of course, probably to some young lady whose family could be strategically joined with his for wealth or power or acreage. Or all of the above.
But he had not expected to be wed to a pirate, much less Blackbeard himself.
In which Stede and Ed are in an arranged marriage and slowly find themselves falling in love.
Mark Me
The sight is enough to make Ed’s mouth water. That isn’t the problem. The problem is it’s making everyone else’s mouth water, too.
Ed and Stede visit a gay bar, and afterward, jealous Ed gives Stede a pounding.
Pretty Baby
Tonight, interestingly, Stede is craving both topping and submission, and Ed is more than happy to accommodate the request.
Take All of Me
Stede puts on a show for Ed in their bedroom. Sex ensues.
Playing Pretend
“And are you gonna let me knock you up, handsome?”
Stede whines. “Oh, Ed.”
“I take it that’s a yes?”
“Yes.”
Ed pretends to get Stede pregnant, to both of their delight.
After Hours
Ed whistled, low and quiet. “Does this mean what I think it means, Stede Bonnet?”
“It means that, with your permission, of course, I’d like to fuck you over my desk.”
Stede and Ed get up to some NSFW activities at work after hours.
A Captive Audience
Jim ties Olu up and blindfolds him.
The Heat of Love
College students Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach meet in a class on Classical Literature, and after a few dates find themselves alone at Stede's place.
This Helpless Haze I'm In
Stede enjoyed getting moments like this one all to himself: Ed, naked, on his knees in their shared quarters, patient and willing as Stede bound his hands in front of his chest.
Which Hurts and Is Desired
Ed asks Stede to hurt him in bed. Stede complies.
This World Will Remember Us (unfinished)
Juno Steel is a waitress whose childhood dreams of fame and fortune have faded to all but nothing. That is, until a handsome, smooth-talking outlaw without a name shows up at his diner and sweeps him into a life of crime that's dangerous, immoral, unstable--and just might be the best thing Juno's ever experienced.
The Jupeter Bonnie & Clyde AU no one asked for but I wrote anyway.
If We Were Back on Earth
In the crushing loneliness of space, this fragile thing that's developed between the three of them has become a source of desperately-needed comfort—but also of anxiety, particularly for Doug. What happens to their loving little trio if they do make it back to Earth? When Doug stops being one of the only warm bodies available to these gorgeous, badass women he's fallen more than a little in love with and all of a sudden they have options (and in one case, a husband) again? Lovelace and Minkowski, meanwhile, are more than a little afraid that they might not make it back to Earth at all.
Hera hears their concerns, and she consoles them in the best way she knows how: by telling them a story.
Say My Name
In which Isabel Lovelace makes good on a promise and spanks Doug Eiffel until he cries.
Minkowski has a few surprises for him, too.
Spoiling Doug Eiffel
In which Lovelace and Minkowski find a better use for Doug's smart mouth.
Plus kink negotiation, Japanese rope bondage, begging, and the Wizard of Oz.
Team "What's Wrong with Handcuffs?"
Doug was going to die. He was certain of it; this was how he was going to go. Tied up and gagged in the comms room, watching his commanding officers pleasure each other while a remarkably sexy AI egged them on.
He could think of worse ways to go.
A Nightingale Sang in Mission Grove Park
When an old jazz standard starts playing on infinite loop throughout Night Vale, Cecil's convinced he's going to lose his mind listening to it. Carlos comes up with a plan to create a more positive association with the tune.
Little Black Dress
"Go get yourself ready and be back here in five minutes."
"Yes, sir."
"Oh, and Carlos?"
"Hm?"
"Wear that little black dress. With nothing under it."
Beginner's Luck
"I'd like to kiss you again," Carlos says.
"Please do," Cecil replies, and then Carlos' mouth is on his, and the rush of kissing him, long and deep and full of urgency, is more intoxicating than any cocktail, more exhilarating than any blackjack win. Who but Cecil would have guessed that the best prize at the table was the dealer himself?
Bonding & Braids
Janice loves it when Cecil braids her hair.
A Drunk, Newly Married Couple
Stay tuned next for a drunk, newly married couple, long after the well-wishers have left, having sex for the first time as husband and husband.
Newton's Fifth Law of Science
Cecil has a hard time focusing in science class, and it's not just because science isn't his best subject. His professor is unfairly gorgeous, and although Cecil thoroughly enjoys the view from across the classroom, he never expects his crush to become anything more than a one-sided infatuation. That is, until one night, when regularly scheduled office hours turn into something else entirely.
Blindfolds and Other Neat Things
Cecil has learned a lot of neat things while blindfolded. Carlos is, after all, a very good teacher.
