Summary
If you wanted, I could marry you instead.
It's 2004, and Edward Teach just offered to marry his best friend to save Stede from the marriage his parents were planning to some girl he barely knew. They've run away, tied the knot at city hall, and now they find themselves in some tiny town by the sea that no one's ever heard of.
Two decades later, Ed will be one of the most famous people in the world, and they won't have spoken in years, but for now they're just kids: with no money, no place to live, and no idea what they're doing.
Also Ed's painfully in love with his best friend, but they don't talk about that.

Summary
Stede’s first pitch, when he broached the subject, was that he would be a fearsome pirate captain and Ed a fiery tavern wench. Which, like— it’s not that Ed wasn’t up for it, he totally was, but maybe he did make a teasing comment that made Stede start worrying about looking like a misogynist, and he’s already tying himself up in some guilt-ridden existential crisis long before Ed can find a big enough gap in the conversation to point out that maybe there is not an unproblematic way to do a fucking ravishment fantasy.

Summary
“Holy fucking shit,” Ed exclaimed, unable to tear his eyes away from the window.
Turns out Ed's new neighbour is the man who broke his heart twenty years prior.
Surely, this will be absolutely fine and not bring up any unresolved feelings for either of them... Right?

Summary
Newly out of the closet Stede Bonnet is looking for love after a 20-year arranged marriage, but Ed Teach is a lone wolf who doesn't "do" romance.
So Ed and Stede are just friends! Really good friends! Best friends, even! And they're definitely not going to date. Well, not each other anyway - Stede’s actually going on lots of dates! How else is he going to find a boyfriend by Lucius’s impending wedding?
And Ed? He’s totally cool and supportive and not at all jealous.
Will Ed’s past heartbreak keep him from a Happy Ever After? Will Stede admit that no one compares to Ed? Will they find a sleeveless tux for Pete before it’s too late?
Find out in “Let It Once Be Me” - a romantic comedy by Writer Hardly Know Her.
