Summary
Edward, Stede thinks, examining the man laying on the bed. He looks for all the world like a fearsome outlaw, which makes the failed robbery all the more confusing to Stede, but there’s a vulnerability in his sleeping face that tugs on his heartstrings. Stede’s always been a bit of a sucker for a stray. He attributes it to being a bit of a stray himself.
Edward looks tired. Really tired, more than just the wound would justify.
Perhaps he can get some rest here. Perhaps Stede can help with that, at least.
In which notorious outlaw Edward Teach and his band of miscreants are taken in by kindly ranch owner Stede Bonnet and his misfit crew of semi-reformed criminals.
AKA the cowboy au no one asked for but I desperately want. Yeehaw.

a masterclass in all things AU, holy shit. i stayed up all night to read this in one sitting and i don't regret it for a single second. exciting plot, beautiful prose, and one of my favourite iterations of the crew and their weird wacky love for one another.

Summary
In the here and now (whatever that means), Joe points out in English, “You could’ve stayed in bed, you know.”
Nicky rolls his eyes. “I wouldn’t have slept without you, and you wouldn’t have gotten out of bed either, if that were the case. Besides, what does our good friend here say? Misery loves company?”
(Has Booker said that yet? Is this just another memory he’s already living inside of?)
Before he can stop himself, Booker opens his mouth and blurts out, “have you two ever had a threesome?”

sweet, and sad, and almost unbearably raw - the dialogue and characterizations are spot on, and i feel booker's heartache and bleak listlessness right in my gut, oh wow

Summary
Sitting next to her, he says, “What are you doing out here? It’s dangerous to be so far away from everyone.”
“Do not worry,” she says, offering a smile as assurance, “this is my land. It will protect us."
“Will you allow me to escort you back to the tents?” he asks. “I’ve just had the fire built up, and it’s rather cold tonight. I wouldn’t want you to freeze.” His hands fidget in his lap while his gaze remains steadfast on her face, avoiding her exposed legs. She supposes he’s rarely seen the full dress of Eorlingas women, who don’t often have need to wear leather breeches and split skirts anymore.
“Of course.”On the eve of battle, Éowyn formally, and cordially, invites Merry to her tent. Among other things.
