Summary
After over a decade of marriage to a woman he couldn't possibly feel attracted to, Stede has finally realized - with the help of an endlessly patient and enthusiastic Edward Teach - that sex can actually be enjoyable. But spending so long drowning in compulsory heterosexuality has left wounds all over Stede's heart that he hadn't even realized were there. Luckily, Ed is happy to help him stitch up every last one.
Basically a sickeningly emotional fic where Stede and Ed explore each other and their sexual relationship and navigate the choppy waters of trauma with the healing power of gay love.
Technically a sequel to "Different, With You" but can be read on its own.

Summary
“Come here.” Ed puts his hand back behind Stede’s neck and pulls him close. “Listen, I know you said no sex, but… would you try it, just once, with me? I promise we’ll stop if it ever gets to be too much. Solemn vow.”
Stede stays silent for a moment. He thinks of Mary, not even meeting his eyes as they performed their marital duties. And he thinks of Ed, pulling back after their first kiss, gazing at him as if Stede were the most beautiful thing in the world.
“Alright,” he whispers.
*Stede doesn't like sex. At least, he thinks he doesn't, because he's never had sex with someone he's actually attracted to before. Ed very patiently teaches him that sex can actually be enjoyable. There is crying. Bon apetit.

Summary
“I spent months imagining you,” Stede says, stepping right up into Ed’s space, hand resting on his shoulder. “Weeks and months trying to piece together the information I had about you, trying to form it into some kind of visual. You’re everything and yet somehow nothing like I conjured up.”
Ed takes a breath, leans a little closer, pressing his temple to Stede’s so he can feel the words against his skin.
“There are so many gaps in my knowledge of you. How you look, and how you feel. How you taste. How you smell. I want to learn all about you. All the spaces in the jigsaw I’ve spent all summer building in my head. I want to finish it.”

Summary
This is it.
It’s nighttime, they’re alone together, and they're no longer taking things slow. They've said the big words. They love each other.
Ed immediately grabs Stede by the shoulders and kisses him, hard and soft and with all the promise of all the things he wants them to do together.
This is the moment.
"I've been meaning to ask," Stede pulls away to say then. "What is a ‘handy’, actually?"

Summary
An exploded scene from 'The Anniversary of Two Very Civilised Gentlemen'
-----
Goal: make this special for Ed.
Strategy: take it slow. Listen to his body. Bind his wrists.
Steps: fuck - not literally, just - shirt had to be off to bind his wrists, as he requested. But also wanted to keep his shirt in place for a while: Ed said he liked how it felt. Wing back chair was going to be an impediment to getting his hands anywhere. Bed? Great big bed, feature of the room. Maybe not all that creative but still a novelty, using a different bed. And when it comes down to novelty did anything really need to be added to the rings, the rings in Ed's nipples, still unseen and untouched...

Summary
A few days of getting dressed up, having fancy hair, and pretending to be gentlemen. What could go wrong?
_____
Stede led the way into the tavern, which was as spick and span inside as out. An equally neat man emerged from a door to the right and bowed his head briefly. “Welcome, welcome! Sir Godfrey Thornrose, I presume?”
Stede nodded in return. “Mister Budd, the landlord?”
“Yessir, well met. And your business partner, Mister…?”
“Jeff, the accountant,” Ed said, glancing at Stede.
“Mister…” prompted Stede.
“Teach?”
“Mister Teach, the accountant. I thought you were merchant captains?” The landlord looked between them uncertainly.
“I am in charge of the accounting,” said Ed. “Money and numbers and sh… shtuff. Trade deals and so on.”
“And I do the actual captaincy,” said Stede with a reassuring smile. “I was knighted for my outstanding seamanship.”

Summary
“I’m the one with your fingers inside me.” Ed slid down the mast a bit to illustrate. The illustration resulted in some pretty freaking sweet pressure in the good place. “The one with my trousers round my ankles. Ankle.” He hooked the trouserless leg higher around Stede’s be-trousered thigh. “Broad daylight. Crew not not watching.”

Summary
For the kink meme prompt: Ed/Stede, Ned Low, fuck or die. What it says on the tin, really. Maybe Ned wants to see if the rumors are true. Maybe he recognizes the captain's cabin is set for a night of romance and he'd hate to ruin their plans. But either way, he gives Ed and Stede an ultimatum: fuck or die. (Doesn't have to be die if you think another threat is more likely to get them to choose "fuck.")
This isn't a sexy fic, at least as far as the prompt is concerned. Ned makes sure the fucking is traumatic, but there's a happy ending, and plenty of talking and comfort and eventual consensual smut

Summary
“Let me take care of you tonight.”
His exhaustion was starting to catch up to him now; he could feel it in the way his limbs seemed to grow more leaden as the sun retreated, the way his frenetic thoughts had settled into a low buzz of fatigue, the way Stede’s low, soft words ran through him like water rather than fire—soothing him where they would usually set him ablaze.
Even if he had the energy in him to do so, he could never have refused such a thing. Not from Stede. Not ever again.
