A summary of a fic on AO3 "Unknown Number" by KizzyMeowMeow Summary: Stede Bonnet is a recently divorced, mild-mannered English teacher with a passion for literature and a tendency to overthink. After relocating from Auckland to Wellington in search of a fresh start, he begins receiving anonymous text messages meant for someone’s long-lost love. At first, he’s hesitant to reply, worried that reaching out might ruin the mystery and scare off the sender. But he eventually finds himself texting with Ed Teach, a brooding theatre technician whose presence turns Stede’s quiet new life upside down. As their connection deepens, Stede finds himself rethinking everything: his love life, his career, and even his growing friendship with Lucius, a fellow teacher facing marital struggles of his own.

Late entry for #WIPWednesday. After the Fall, my entry for #OFMDBB25, arrives on November 24th. Featuring art by @bakerbelle.bsky.social and @rocketlollyart.bsky.social. 🐋💙
There are little murmurs from the other guests as Ed and Stede walk around and interact with the displays, immersing themselves in underwater worlds. Near a back corner, two humpback whales, a mother with her calf, swim closely beneath the water’s surface. The calf stays hovering above the mother as she guides the way, sunlight from above glimmering on their skin. All of a sudden, rumbling coos fill the space, playing along with the calming ocean music. “Incredible, aren’t they?” Stede murmurs beside Ed. “My only regret is that I’ll never get to hear a whale song.” Ed’s eyes remain glued to the screen, and he holds himself tighter. “You’ve never heard it on a cruise before?” “No, sadly. It’s nearly impossible to hear them. It’s amazing, actually. Whale songs can be transmitted four times faster than in the air, but the water’s barrier prevents them from being heard above the surface.” Stede sighs deeply to himself, filled with tender melancholy. “I guess it’s better that way. Some things are too beautiful to be meant for us.” Ed swallows deeply as he considers this, but while he’s distracted, he fails to notice the calf swimming off by itself. The projection focuses on the calf, and suddenly, the whale song seems much louder and sharper, almost like the baby whale is crying… lost and alone… searching for its mother in the great, deep blue.

Summary ⬇️
a fic title card featuring a photo of a mountain lake surrounded by mountains and trees words by thisreader art by gatwatson & self-induljennt clear water to the bottom an ofmd big bang au Getting to the trailhead was easier than Ed imagined it would be. Somehow he assumed it would come with questioning strangers and interruptions and something stopping him entirely. A missed bus. A closed road. A car crash. The universe seems wholly uninterested in one Ed Teach, however, and he finds himself standing at the weather-worn trailhead sign, images depicting safety hazards one would expect to encounter. Sharp drops. Loose rocks. Bears. The uzhe. It’s a rarely-used trail, purposefully selected for exactly that reason. Not trying to ruin some family’s Sunday outing. It heads due east, distinctly away from the enormous lake he visited twice as a kid. Doesn’t want memories of his mother clouding his judgment now. Plus, it’s not like the water holds an escape for him anymore anyway. Playing pirates, dreaming of a life of intrigue on the high seas? That was fun at 8. Leave it where it lies, Teach. He’s slammed with a memory of a dream with Stede. Of racing leaf boats down their [rainbow] stream, chasing along the bank as the boats dipped and swirled in the currents, taking on water and tipping precariously over rushing waterfalls. Of waking up the next morning and naming those boats, drawing pictures and imagining backstories of pirate explorers, conquering ocean waves and terrible storms at Stede’s side. The world had felt so big then. The possibilities had felt so tangible. He felt like he could have reached out and grabbed Stede by the hand, pulled him right out of that world and into…what? Your world? Hardly. Even then, Ed knew Stede didn’t belong in his world. Ed’s world was harsh and angry. Stede deserved softness and color. Stede was safer left waiting in Ed’s subconscious, ready when Ed needed gentle joy on another night. But the possibilities could have been real, his inner voice helpfully supplies. “Fuck that,” Ed tells whatever tree creatures might be listening.
