    Summary

    “I could help you, you know,” says Ed. “Like, the reinventing yourself bit. Or figuring it out.”

    Hope hops on its feet, attempting takeoff. “You would?”

    “‘Course I would, mate. You’re my best friend.”

    ----

    Recently divorced, Stede isn't sure where to start on the whole "getting himself out there" thing. Ed offers to help, so they write out a list of Stede’s goals. The only problem? They both may be just slightly in love with each other. They just don't know it yet.

    Summary

    Jaded, grief-stricken rock legend Edward Teach was only trying to find a new pet. But life -- or rather the magical Lighthouse Sanctuary -- had a different plan for him. This is a tale about finding home within yourself and in the people you bring into your life, and a love so great it makes a house come alive.

    Or, modern day AU slow burn featuring a pining Ed, a clueless Stede, found family, roughly a million animals, and a very magical house.

    Summary

    “Tell me more about this… clock.”

    Stede unbuttons his coat and pulls his clock out.

    “It’s been in my family for generations,” Stede says. “It completely stopped working twenty, maybe thirty years ago. Nothing can get it to tick.”

    “Oh, I doubt that,” the man says, taking the clock from him and looking it over. “I’ve always found that a clock in the right hands is capable of extraordinary things.”

    Or, Edward Teach is a master horologist, and Stede Bonnet has a cock — CLOCK he needs tending to.
