    Summary

    Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.

    It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.

    Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.

    Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

    Summary

    "When we get out of here, we are going for a drink."

    Cliff splutters and twists his fingers into the fabric of his jeans because it's rare that he catches anyone's attention, let alone someone as forward as Marie-Claire.

     

    alternatively: i've watched the cardboard stegosaurus far too many times, and decided i needed to know what happened to these silly little characters before and after the play. and now they're all i think about ;-; i love them so much <3

    Summary

    Mary Allamby has great reasons to hate the fucking ocean, but this sits above all others: when she's 19, her ship is raided by fearsome pirate Benjamin Hornigold, who insists that one of his crew choose someone from the crowd for nefarious reasons. Edward Teach chooses Mary, but instead of assaulting her like he's commanded to he keeps her safe all night, forging a deep friendship and a sizzling chemistry that will burn on for more than two decades.

    Bonded by shared trauma, Ed meets Mary again ten years later on the eve of her arranged marriage, and she begs him to give her something real to remember throughout all the coming years of suffering social expectations.

    They all meet again fifteen years later, when Mary's now-departed ex-husband Stede brings home his newfound love, Ed, to meet the family...

    Summary

    Stede learns to be a sailor, a pirate, a Captain, and, just maybe, the kind of person he wants to be, all on the way to finding Ed.

    (The kind of person he wants to be will end up committing mild insurance fraud, exploding a ship, doing some light indirect murder, and making some truly questionable choices while on laudanum, but that will come later.)
