    Summary

    Stede brings his arm up so his cheek has something to rest on, and he breathes a little sharper as he resituates himself, and the entirety of Ed’s body feels like it’s floating with both the residual panic of before, and the overwhelming calm Stede has managed to conjure in this tiny bathroom now. And thank you doesn’t seem anywhere near big enough for what Stede has given him, and Ed’s not sure he’d be able to say it again without his voice breaking something awful, but he can try. He can sure as fuck try.

     

    or: the art of fuckery, but slightly different.

    Summary

    “Gotta warn ya, mate,” Ed said in that same unusually-bright-given-the-circumstances tone from earlier, “rooms at these kinds of places are usually too small to fit two beds. We’ll probably have to share.” Ed punctuated the warning by whistling a few sing-songy notes as they arrived at their room and he fit the iron key into the lock.

    “I see,” Stede said, feeling that thrill again. Likely from the authenticity of sleeping in close quarters, like a real pirate. Really thrilling stuff, that. “I suppose we could get a second room, if–”

    “NO,” Ed interrupted loudly, startling them both. He cleared his throat and began again at a more location-appropriate volume. “No, the innkeeper said this was the only room left–” he turned the lock– “so we’ll have to make do with whatever’s here.”

    Summary

    “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.

    Ed thinks he can fit all four into one night.

    Summary

    The night Stede has sex for the first time, he is twenty years old and lost in a sea of college-aged horniness and beer-soaked misadventures. The frat party is obnoxious. The boy is fucking beautiful.

    The sex is decidedly awkward.

    Twenty years later, Ed's fucking tired of dating apps—until he comes across an oddly familiar face.
