    Summary

    In a deep, dark dungeon just outside the city walls of Auxerre, Israel awaits his execution.
    If he’s lucky, he’ll only lose a hand.
    This is not his first time behind prison walls. It is the first time the odds have been so steeply stacked against him.

    France, October 1281. Ed and Izzy are mercenaries, always on the hunt for their next job. When Ed hears of a prince who will pay a fortune for the disposal of an inconvenient cousin, he gets on the way immediately. But Izzy has his doubts. What is Edward not telling him? And why does he keep looking over his shoulder?

    Summary

    The new year is fast approaching, and Stede’s desperate to cross at least ONE thing off his very old bucket list so he can prove to himself that the last five years (and by extension his entire life) haven’t been a complete waste. The mission? Learn to French braid. The complication? The salon he chose for his mission is closed because it's New Year's Eve. The unexpected solution? A beautiful stranger with kind eyes and the most insanely gorgeous hair offers to Teach (heh) him.

    This is a New Year's AU for those who hate New Year's. Or, rather, have some rather messy, complicated feelings about how all the twinkling lights and period of reflection emphasizes feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment that leads to an annual period of existential dread, but that doesn't make for as catchy a tagline.

    Summary

    Ask anyone: Edward Teach is the greatest pro surfer in the world. Or, he was. Now he’s retired, and burnt out, and okay maybe possibly dealing with a bit of untreated clinical depression. He hasn’t stepped foot in the water in almost two years—can’t even bring himself to go for a dip in the private pool at his fancy apartment complex, although not for lack of trying. Enter: Stede Bonnet. Also known as Pool DILF. Also also known as the love of Ed’s life. And love makes us do crazy things. Like maybe pretending you don’t know how to swim so your crush will offer to teach you.

    What could go wrong?

    A Reverse Big Bang collab with Sailor's Ruin!

    Summary

    Ed Teach is a certified star in the ballet world. His name on a poster can sell out tickets for an entire show's running easily, which is why returning to the stage after being signed off work for a year with a knee injury is particularly daunting. Ed has a legacy of his own creation to live up to, and he's determined to show everyone that his star hasn't dimmed while he's been unable to perform. He can't let anything distract him, least of all the new handsome blonde dancer at his company.

    Stede Bonnet is a household name in the ballet world, but that's because he's the son of famous ballerina Sarah Bonnet and wealthy 'patron of the arts' Theodore Bonnet. Everyone has an idea of who Stede is before he even gets a chance to show them. And what he wants more than anything is to prove himself and show that he's not some little rich boy nepotism baby who bought his way into the big leagues.

    However, ballet can be a cutthroat world, and when strange occurrences keep happening as the company prepares to put on a production of Swan Lake, the question has to be asked of just how far someone will go to reach the top.
