Summary:Every week on primetime television, pro wrestler Edward Teach plays the role of "Blackbeard"—one of the most loved and hated villains of Ring of Revenge. But lately, he's been growing dissatisfied with his job, feeling like he's just going through the motions of his matches without really putting his heart into it anymore. The arrival of inexperienced newcomer Stede Bonnet, who bills himself as "The Gentleman Wrestler," is the first thing to spark Ed's interest in a while—but Ed's manager, Izzy Hands, thinks working with Stede is a bad idea. Can Ed and Stede handle the complexity of a workplace romance on top of the stress of their jobs as pro wrestlers? Find out tonight on Ring of Revenge!
My longest work on Ao3 to date and the one I'm proudest of. It's an AU in which instead of being pirates they're pro wrestlers, loosely following the same storyline as season one but with a lot of variation and a happy ending. It has plenty of author's notes explaining the wrestling jargon used, so I hope it's accessible even to people who aren't necessarily wrestling fans. I put a lot of effort into it and if you read it I will kiss you on the mouth
Series: From the ocean to the shore
These are loosely connected and can definitely stand alone, but it's the series I made to collect all the short works of Ed/Stede romance I wrote post-season-one.

Summary:"If you're so concerned about me, then—then—well, we can share the bed, can't we?"
"Share the bed?" Ed repeated, still feeling slightly shaky.
"It'll be close quarters a bit, but that's just part of the pirate's life, isn't it?" Stede grinned, his face lighting up at the reminder of his new vocation. "Perhaps we'd better call it a night now. I'll just get changed, and then I'll—well—we can negotiate the distribution of the pillows."
(Alternate summary: oh my god, they were co-captains, and there was only one bed.)
The above has the honour of, at time of writing, being the fic of mine to have received the most kudos on Ao3.
