Stede and Ed spend a moment alone while the crew enjoys shore leave. They talk of odysseys. ---- Follow me for more OFMD fic. I don't see myself stopping anytime soon! The Captains' Bed, (StedexEd): https://www.wattpad.com/story/306594912-the-captains%27-bed-our-flag-means-death-edxstede OR check out my ongoing (frequently updated) take on season 2: A Pirate's Life For Us: https://www.wattpad.com/1211268638-a-pirate%27s-life-for-us-our-flag-means-death-season

Post-season one, post-reunion but not-quite reconciliation. To celebrate a recent swashbuckling, the crew is having a dance party aboard The Revenge! Trouble is, Edward and Stede still haven't really -addressed- anything that has happened between them. But thanks to a dreamy summer night and Frenchie's lute, they might just get the courage to put words to whatever it is. CW for light mention of drinking; everyone is a little buzzed but more than sober enough to consent to anything that's happening.

Ed is trapped on his ship with Izzy Hands and a new crew of murderous pirates who will kill him at the first sign of weakness. Meanwhile, Stede has returned and realized his terrible mistake. With no ship and no money, he goes to Spanish Jackie for help. Jackie puts him in touch with an infamous pirate who has her own reasons for seeking out Blackbeard. But Stede isn't about to let a small thing like an entire ocean and no ship stop him from making amends with Ed before it's too late. (This story started out as a vignette of Ed in the bath, but then I realized it would be a good start for my own version of Season 2. Bonbon is played by Tessa Thompson, because let's be honest: she'd make a badass pirate and she's friends with Taika, so it feels very plausible that she'd show up in this world.) --- As always, comments deeply appreciated. It keeps me motivated to keep writing, and I love to hear from people!

Stede was hiding behind a folding screen, shivering as the cold air caressed his bare legs. Ed was reclining on his bed, waiting patiently for his "surprise." This was an awful idea. no beta we die like lucius this was originally a lemonfic but now its more than just sex- mature chapters marked

Moss had never genuinely loved a woman. He'd been on dates, and been in one relationship, but he'd never felt love. Maurice assumed this was because he was very out of touch with feelings, but maybe they were just the wrong people. There was this one guy, but that guy assured him that they both were not, in fact, gay.
