Summary
Stede takes Louis to a birthday party in a soft play place that is, rather incongruously, adjoined to Blackbeard's Motorbike Repair and Servicing.
In the shared car park, Louis trips and falls, scraping up his hands and knees. Already teetering on the verge of overwhelm after enduring two hours of children's squealing and aggressively cheerful Disney tunes, Stede is just about ready to tear his hair out. But then, along comes a knight in black leather to save the day and — maybe, just maybe — change Stede's entire life.

Summary
Ed, 43, is an ex-convict and successful artist. Stede wanders into Boodhari's gallery one day and Ed's never been more drawn to a person in his life.
Only problem is, Stede won't let himself have Ed. Stede has a secret and Ed has absolutely no fucking patience for it.
OR
Ed has a bunch of chance encounters and phone sex with some hot weirdo named Stede.“You startled me,” the man says. He's holding himself in an odd way, like he isn't afraid to fill space despite not knowing the proper way to do it. “I didn't- well, no one's ever down here.”
“No worries, mate,” Ed says with a wave of his hand. Cool. “Feel free to browse. Cut the light on your way out.”
The man doesn't move. Instead, he peers sort of suspiciously at Ed, clears his throat, and asks in a high voice, “I'm sorry, were you- were you hiding?”
“No,” Ed answers quickly.
“You were,” the man says, voice a bit more certain of itself. “You were hiding down here in the dark.”
“I wasn't.”

“So what’s the number?”
Stede adjusts his position, still backed against the wall.
“Sorry?”
“How many dates until I can have you in my bed?” Ed’s eyes are gleaming with mirth.
***
Stede’s having the time of his life, but he won’t go home with Ed until their fourth date.

Summary
Twice a month, Ed will make his way down to the mailbox at the end of his and Stede’s long entrance path, and, twice a month, he’ll collect his family’s letters. For the most part, they are addressed to The Captains, Cap. Stede & Cap. Edward, or to the Teach-Bonnets. It’s always them, together, as a unit.
(A united front, some have called it.)
The point is, it's always them, which is why it strikes Ed as strange when he picks up their letters today, and under the sand-layer of the first envelope he reads, To Edward. Just Ed, please and thanks.

or, ed receives a letter asking for advice, and has to do some reflecting.
