Summary
He clicked his fingers again. As Ed watched, Stede’s robe and slippers disappeared, replaced by a pair of short trousers that ended at the knee, where they were tucked into a pair of sturdy leather boots. He had a loose, slightly grubby-looking shirt, with loose strings at the collar, and the look was finished by a thick belt from which hung a cutlass at one side, and a flintlock pistol at the other. One eye was concealed behind a leather patch that had been tied on by a strap around his head.
Ed looked down to check his own attire, and found himself wearing a close approximation of his old Blackbeard clothes, leather trousers and jacket. He reached up to touch his face, half-expecting his beard to have grown long, but he found it exactly as he had left it. No eyepatch for him either.
Put us back how we were,” he said.
NotStede shook his head. “But you’re pirates,” he said. “You should look like pirates!”
Ed and Stede are visited by a man who looks like Stede, thinks pirates are absolutely brilliant, and loves a good wedding. A sort of crossover with Star Trek Strange New Worlds, featuring Rhys's character, Trelane.

Summary
Ed was still staring at the bell as though he didn’t know what to make of it. “A fucking cat collar?” he asked. “Because I’m so ‘catlike’?”
“Well, it’s not actually a cat collar. I mean, this would be far too big for the average cat, and so would the bell.” Stede frowned. “In fact, I’m not sure who this was actually made for.”
“Yeah, might be best not to think about that.”
“No. No, maybe not.”
Ed reached out and tapped the bell with the tip of his fingernail, and it chimed again. He grimaced. “That’s going to be annoying,” he said.
----
Stede has successfully convinced the crew to take Ed back, now he just has to break the news to Ed about those conditions he's going to need to agree to.

Summary
“Unfortunately, the damage done to his face and his bone structure during the fight left me with a lot of complications. I fear that there was, and is, only so much that my quirk could accomplish -- some things are just … past repair, sometimes.”
The words spoken so softly -- with such care -- as if she was handling a bomb lit from both ends. This in itself created a hole in his stomach. She was treating this with such fragility that she knew she was handing him something already broken. “-- what was past repair?” he finds the courage to ask, forcing each word out like a man trying to pry a dislocated bone back into its proper place.
“His eyes.”
--Or, a canon divergent where Shouta does lose his vision after the USJ incident.

Summary
Edward "Blackbeard" Teach has been a writer for decades, and what had once been thrilling and edgy as he specialized in underground erotic short stories that fixated on BDSM, kink and exploration has become little more than a grind. And not a fun one. Living mostly anonymously through his pen name, he's had enough of a career he started out of a desire to express himself and is looking for something more.
A chance recognition in a tea shop brings him eye to eye with Stede Bonnet, a man that found himself in the pages of a book that Ed had viewed as a dead dream.

Summary
Ed says to him, "You should be a stand-up comedian."
Stede blinks back at him. "You think?"
"Eh," Ed shrugs, cocking his head to the side as if he's deep in thought. "Maybe not. You'd meet too many hecklers. You'd hate the hecklers."
"Well, no! No I wouldn't, 'cause you wouldn't be able to hear the hecklers over my sounds."
"What the fuck? What are your sounds?"
Stede screws up his face and starts to make noises unlike anything Ed's ever heard. There are bird warbles and drum beats and some weird whistles that Ed can't even begin to describe. They're funny, though. They pull a laugh from deep inside of him despite the mountain of anxiety it had to overcome to get outside of him. He feels a little lighter, seeing Stede make these ridiculous sounds. It almost gives him hope for the future.
Eventually, when Stede goes a little red in the face, he stops to regain his breath. Ed kisses his nose. "You're right - I wouldn't be able to hear a heckler over that."

Summary
He’s alone. The realization only now began to sink in. He would never see his family again. Satine's enchanting smile. Anakin's gleam in his eyes when he spoke of tinkering on his droids. Ahsoka's glowing presence in the Force. They were all gone. The only thing that remained was this endless darkness.
