Summary
Stede and Ed are not having sex.
To the uninformed, the things they do together may strongly resemble sex, but Stede knows better.
This is just mutual stress relief between two professional, platonic, regular, normal co-captains.

Summary
“So, we’re innkeepers then.”
Two whim-prone middle-aged guys, in the throes of first love, make an emotionally charged decision to upend their lives completely.
Things turn out... pretty well, actually.
Post-S2 domestic fluff with a bit of character stuff thrown in because I love them both so much. Basically just gentle Gentlebeard, fixing up their inn and learning how to be together.

Summary
Stede wakes to shafts of golden light creeping across the bedsheets and strands of silver hair across his face. He smiles, reaches up to draw it aside, and Ed stirs in his arms. They’re both naked, skin warm against skin, and when he turns onto his side to wrap an arm around Ed, his cock brushes the bedsheets and there’s something—something wrong—
He sits up and throws the bedclothes off in one motion, and—
There’s a cage around his cock.

Summary
They take it slow.
Nothing in Ed’s life has ever been slow, or easy, or gentle. Every moment’s been a fucking fight, his mind careening ahead at 30 knots, day in, day out.
But Stede is ease and gentleness, sweetness potent as marmalade. For him, every new day is a possibility, a wonder. And so, Ed thinks, watching the silhouette of their ship retreating into the sunset, he can take it easy with Stede. They can take it slow.

Summary
Missing scene after season 2 episode 6. Their first time.
Tonight is different. The sea is calm. Izzy has a rapt audience above board, belting to the skies. His voice carries over the waves, over the moonlight on the water, over the distant cries of a man drowning in ocean black as night.
Tonight, Ed is in Stede's bed, lips parting and then coming together again as Stede's fingers move in him.
“You're nothing of what that man said, Ed,” Stede whispers. Stede's chest is still heaving, heart still beating heavy under Ed's palm as if— he just— best not think too hard about it. What happened on deck. This is adrenaline transmuted to passion. Ed knows it well. Same chemicals, arousal. Arousal from fear, arousal like this...

Summary
Their first time happens in a thunderstorm, because of course it does, cause it had to be a big, poignant moment that would stick in Ed's bones and pulse along to the rhythm of his heart and never leave him.
“Please, I want you to fuck me.”
Didn’t really get more direct than that.

Summary
“Jesus, Stede, gonna fuckin’ kill me, you are. Ruck up your nightgown.” As Stede gathers the hem in his hands, Ed stops him with a hand on his wrist and adds in that low timbre Stede can’t resist, “Slowly.”

Summary
How he does it, Ed has no idea. How he sits in his blouse and breeches and his fucking stockings, back straight and voice steady. How he explains that he wants to edge Ed into oblivion with the same cadence he’d use to read a fucking shopping list.
Ed can barely breathe with how much he wants it, and somehow Stede looks completely unaffected by the sentence that just came out of his own mouth, the slight bounce of his right leg his only tell.
or: Stede has an idea. Ed's going to lose his actual mind. -

Twice.
“Was it just me,” Pete says, awed, to the empty space where Edward just was. “Or was he hitting on you?”

Summary
Ed was basically fine. His knee was killing him for sure and he was banged up a bit beyond that, but that was a pirate’s life for you. He’d thought once that he could give it up, but – whatever. In the past. The point was, it was nothing he couldn’t handle.
Stede, though. Stede was not fine. He hadn’t been fine in days, from the look of him, maybe weeks. Bruised, cut, his clothes hanging off him; his right arm was broken, and they were – he was lucky it was recent enough not to heal wrong.
While the two are still separated, Ed finds out that Stede is being held prisoner and joins with his crew to stage a rescue. They find that Stede is hurt and traumatized, and despite everything, Ed can't leave him. So he tries his best to look after the man who is, after all, the love of his life ...

Summary
“You didn’t have to wait up,” he says, just like he does every time he returns to the cabin after a late watch.
“We know,” Ed replies. “We wanted to.”
He hesitates, pipe poised at his lips. Izzy himself very much hopes to find someone awake when he finally slinks into the cabin on late or difficult nights. It’s harder to convince himself he’s not wanted when dark eyes crinkle and light up upon seeing him peek into the room.
“It’s nice to have something to look forward to,” Stede mutters, and god-damn him.
Bonnet was a testament to the brutality that accompanied vulnerability. The man was ruthless with his sentimentality, knowing exactly where to slide the dagger home for the most damage without even trying.
Smoke stutters from Izzy’s lungs. “Yeah,” he rasps. It’s the closest he’ll come to an admission tonight.
_______
Izzy comes off a miserable late-night watch. A man used to surviving grapples with the opportunity to thrive.

Summary
This is for Ed and his neck, not for Stede and his demure fantasies of kissing Ed’s collar bone and cuddling his relaxed frame to sleep on a bed of pillows and silk. No, Stede needs to focus, keep in control. He’s not going to blunder this simple request.
Which is the thought Stede chokes when he enters the room and sees his client.
In the lamplight, Ed relaxes in a casual stretch across the pillowy bed, stomach down. A bare casual stretch. Without clothes. Naked. The corner of a sheet is all that covers his bum, every other inked and scarred expanse of skin on full display.
OR
Stede offers to massage Ed and Ed toys with him a smidgen.

Summary
“Yeah,” Ed agrees, leaning in, breathing deep. “Yeah, you’re good. You’re fine.”
“Mm,” is Stede’s smiling response, and then between one moment and the next Ed is being kissed again. His shaking hands are in Stede’s hair, gripping at his ear, the side of his neck, trying to hold on to the shape of him while Ed himself feels like he’s falling apart. Heat and tongues and the slick, indecent slide of them take over. Breaths funneling into one another.
Against Ed’s gasping mouth, Stede murmurs, “My dear. You’re shaking,” before sucking in Ed’s bottom lip.
Groaning, Ed doesn’t try to fight it—the tide of panic, of love, of fear that lingers. He hadn’t expected that part, to be honest. All his life and Ed had shown fear the middle finger every time it came knocking. He’s had to, hasn’t he? But then wham, love stomps him to the ground, sets up a home inside his chest, and Ed hasn’t known peace since.
Stede’s fingers trying their damnedest to wiggle under his leather, squeezing at Ed’s ass sure as shit isn’t helping keep him sane.

Summary
“Bad dream?” Ed asked softly, leaning on his elbows. “You’re groaning, mate.”
“What? No.”
The dream was fresh in Stede’s mind and he swallowed hard, his mouth already missing the tastes he’d been savoring in the fantasy. He could still feel the dream in his body, though; in his tingling skin, in his achingly hard cock. He looked down and Ed followed his gaze, both men acknowledging the tenting sheets at the same time.
“Oh. That kind of dream, huh?”

And the terrible thing is sex. Because of course it is.
