Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt by stfustucky (iwillpaintasongforlou)

Summary
Ed is a vigilante with shadow powers in the form of tendrils of darkness that emerge from his spine to help him fight crime, hated and feared by most of the world for his powers and their unpredictable nature. Librarian Stede looks at him like he hung the stars in the night sky, and damn if that doesn't made Ed want to live up to it.
(Anti-hero Ed, soft Stede, semi-autonomous shadow tentacles that fall in love with Stede even faster than Ed does, and a solid 30/70 mix of drama and cuteness)

Summary
When Stede put out the advertisement for a man, it was very late at night and he was very, very drunk.
Seeking: intimidating man to conduct himself poorly at an elite dinner party this Christmas. Tattoos, piercings a plus. Must be comfortable speaking out of turn and using the wrong cutlery for at least one course. Rate of pay negotiable – role involves engaging with somewhat difficult personages and you will be compensated accordingly. Note that you will be posing as another man’s romantic partner; homophobes need not apply.
---
Frustrated by his rich, bigoted family, Stede Bonnet advertises for a man to be his fake date when he faces them at Christmas. Tattooed biker Edward Teach responds. But somewhere between planning amazing pranks and teaching Ed about society, Stede begins to fall for him. Could Ed ever feel the same?- Language:

Summary
It’s Paris in the summer of 2024, and world-famous diving champion Ed Teach is representing New Zealand in what could be his final Olympics. After coming back from an almost career-ending injury he’s focussed everything he's got on winning gold at these Games, but when he meets Stede Bonnet—a first-time diving rival representing Barbados—at the infamous free condom handout and then discovers they're roommates, he’s suddenly got a lot more to think about.
As Ed’s synchronisation with his long-term diving partner Izzy Hands begins to falter and Stede struggles with his confidence, believing in each other might be the only thing that gets them both through. In between, they're going to take this brief, fated time together to connect in every possible way they can.

Summary
In exchange for Stede’s freedom, Ed offers himself up to the British and is sentenced to 5 years in prison. Thanks to a very intrepid mail delivery seagull, they’re able to exchange a series of increasingly stupid, silly, smutty, and romantic letters during their time apart.

“You’re looking for… what, a bisexual woman, right? A bisexual woman, who you’ve never met and don’t need to form any attachments to, who’s looking to get laid, who finds both you and your wife attractive, who both you and your wife are attracted to, who you can take home for a whirlwind one-night stand to spice up your marriage?”
“... Yes?”
“Yeah, we call that a Unicorn.”
--
Or, Stede and Mary go looking for a three-way to save their marriage. Ed helps.

Summary
Ed meets Stede on a beach in Barbados a month before the Revenge is finished. Ed decides that kidnapping a wealthy (handsome) man might break the monotony of being Blackbeard. Stede is a little too on board with being kidnapped.
Basically, an alternate meeting slow-burn AU, with lots of humor, hijinks, and building sexual and romantic tension.

Summary
There’s something…off about The Gentleman Pirate. It takes Ed a little while to put it all together, longer than it would have if Stede weren’t so fascinating, so goddamn distracting. It’s little things, at first: how Stede is not a good enough pirate to be that blasé with his personal welfare, how confident he seems that things will work out in the end, the glimmer in his eye he gets when danger comes close and whispers in his ear. It’s maddening and familiar, too, because Ed swears he’s met Stede before. Maybe on a ship somewhere, or in town, a shared look before a shared bed; though, if the sex were as good then as it is now, Ed’s sure he would remember. As Ed watches and waits — and desperately tries not to fall in love — he grows more and more convinced that the truth is a terrifying third option; a monster parents tell their children about at night and all sailors dread. Stede Bonnet is The World Ender.

Summary
When The Revenge begins suffering from a rodent infestation, Stede purchases a mouser to take care of the problem. Unfortunately poor "Sir Fluff" is not the sweet, adorable cat Stede imagined; he's a mostly-feral, terrified kitten with a missing leg and a bad attitude. He's so angry and volatile, it seems like maybe he'll never find his place on the ship.
Until he meets the other mostly-feral, angry, vicious cat on board.
This is a story of two like-minded souls coming together and learning to trust, to survive, and maybe even love.
