https://archiveofourown.org/works/46722802/chapters/117673738Ed Teach, the most successful Olympic diver in the world, expected to come home to Aotearoa from the Paris 2024 Olympics with four gold medals. He didn't anticipate bringing back one more golden thing: Stede Bonnet, his competitor-turned-lover-turned-teammate. And now Stede's by Ed's side for knee surgery, a year-long recovery, and the realisation of a childhood dream- opening his own diving school and aquatic centre.

Stede's finding his own place in the world after divorcing, coming out, and becoming a central figure in the wildest Olympic diving drama in history. He'll have to face up to his past to carve a new path forward, but he'll have Ed and a whole new found family by his side throughout.

Together they're facing a year of change, working on themselves in parallel, toward a shared future. Along the way they'll keep building the intense physical and emotional bond that burst into life in Paris, and shifted everything for both of them.

1 Parallel Placement

2 parallel Placement- Hold

this took extra time record because I have a summer road construction project going on all summer. Jackhammers, cement trucks, cement saws, all very noisy. "BEEP BEEP BEEP of the trucks backing up! I'm trying to keep it out of the audio, but some of it is getting through because it has become ignorable background sounds and I hear it on the review. Some of it, I am re-recording but some of it is going to have to stay. The cat purring in the cave tour might be audible depending on your listening device. Left it in because Claire said it could be the ambient waterfall noise, and Trix is suggesting that it is the sound that the glow worms make.

UGH! Was giving a listen this morning just to enjoy the story and found some tech stuff that I thought was fixed and was not. so repaired and re-uploaded 6/7 9amcst

“Salt, Sweet” by mia_ugly
Rated: Explicit
Pairing(s): Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet
Fic Summary: 
“You look –” Stede steps forward, and if she says “pretty,” Ed thinks she might tear her own face off. She doesn’t mind that sometimes, but tonight she wants to be something different.
“Astonishing,” Stede says, moving closer, close enough to touch. Her fingers land on the lapel of Ed’s velvet coat, smoothing the grain of it. “The most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”
“Beautiful." Ed's voice is unfamiliar to her, a low rasp.
“Handsome,” Stede says quietly, and the word catches in Ed’s throat like a diamond.

*Content Warning*: This chapter includes a scene featuring consensual, enjoyed knifeplay. It's referenced throughout the chapter but the main bits that directly talk about the knife and blood in an active role are between 30:20-40:27. 

Author's note: (On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 as the daintiest version of bloodplay and 10 as the most extreme, I would personally rate this a 3 or 4.)

This is chapter 5 for “To the Lonely Sea and the Sky” by zythepsary
Rated: Explicit
Pairing(s): Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands, Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet, Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands
Fic Summary: 
The core concepts had always seemed fairly simple to Stede: block like that, swing like this, try not to get stabbed. Izzy made it look infinitely more complicated and somehow, too easy. He moved like water, without hesitation.

Izzy decides Stede needs proper swordplay lessons.
Chapter Summary: Izzy and Stede compare scars. Stede leaves his own mark.
