    Summary

    “You’re buying those jeans, right?”
    Stede’s lips make a shy little almost-smile. “I’m… considering it. Do you think they look all right?”
    Fuck it, Ed decides. Time to go for broke. “Look, mate, what I think is that anyone who sees you in those jeans is immediately gonna start wondering how fast they can get you out of ’em.”

    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

    Stede gets a book about pirates from his brother-in-law. Inside, he finds a curious name—his name, Stede Bonnet. It's barely a mention, two measly paragraphs in a longer story about the legendary Blackbeard, with whom he apparently sailed for a time. That night, he dreams about Ed. He learns he already knows more than he'll find in any book.

    And Ed? Ed dreams too. He dreams about drowning, mostly.

    Until he sees Stede.

    The title comes from my best girl Margaret Lanterman, AKA The Log Lady, in one of her iconic Twin Peaks episode intros: "The beautiful thing about treasure is that it exists. It exists to be found."

    If you are a podfic enjoyer, you can find it here, and don't forget to leave lindie a little heart. thanks!

    Summary

    Ed should have everything he's ever wanted. He's finally trying to make it out of his life as legendary organized crime boss Blackbeard, but learning who Ed is after decades of being Blackbeard is harder than he'd expected. Meanwhile, Stede should be happy, but after coming out he's felt stuck in a rut, waiting for life to catch up with his dreams. When people from Ed's old life start to catch up with him and Stede accidentally gets involved, they discover that maybe they can help each other find the missing pieces they've been looking for.

    A fast-burn where Ed and Stede get married right after they meet, it takes a bit longer for them to realize they've fallen in love, and they learn a lot about themselves along the way.
