    Summary

    After Stede kicks Calico Jack off The Revenge, Ed decides to stay with his crew and co-captain. This gives Blackbeard and The Gentleman Pirate the opportunity to talk about their relationship.

    --
    Ed mirrored Stede’s posture so they could be face-to-face and sighed, “How can you do that?”

    “Do what?” 

    “See all my faults and still stay by my side,” he elaborated meekly.

    “I suppose because I see them as simply another layer of who you are. They’re not the whole picture, just a section of it.”

    Summary

    “Y’know, you might even be good enough that I wouldn’t be able to kick your ass quite as easily as before. Probably still could, though.”
    “Oh, I don’t doubt that. It has been quite some time since we’ve fought though, hasn’t it?” Stede looked a bit excited in the way that Ed knew meant he’d become interested in this idea. “Not since you were still teaching me, I imagine. Why, you must’ve stopped just as I had a chance, don’t you think? That isn’t fair at all.”
    “Stede Bonnet, are you trying to challenge me to a duel?” Ed was incredulous, even through his obvious excitement.
    “I wouldn’t call it that, but I suppose that I am.” They looked at each other, both smiling. “Do you accept my challenge, Edward Teach?”
    “How could I say no?”

    Summary

    Stede opened the door with enough gusto that it struck the wall with an urgent thud. Ed - who was busy pilfering through the drawers and cabinets of a large cedar desk - glanced up in mild alarm, like he was expecting bad news. Stede sucked in a deep breath through his nose.
    “Ed,” he began with all the authority and courage he could muster, “I’d like to do sex, ah, things, with - with you.” Perhaps that could have been a fair bit more eloquent, but alas.

    Summary

    Stede finds the house. When he comes back to their room at the inn, he won’t rest—won’t let Ed rest—until Ed’s seen it. His eyes are bright in that way that makes Ed’s guts feel scooped out with a spoon. So Ed hurries into his boots and goes with him.

    The once-white paint is stripped by weather and wear, a portion of the roof is caved in, and the spokes of the wraparound porch are all gnawed through by animals.

    Ed gazes up at the broken windows and the birds that have built nests there. At his side, Stede is waiting, rocking back and forth on his heels.

    "It’s perfect," says Ed.

    ***

    Or: Ed and Stede leave the island together, and they don’t look back.

    Summary

    Stede just moved to a lovely seaside town and opened The Lighthouse Bakery. Right in front of Blackbeard's Tattoo Parlor, owned by the fearsome Edward Teach. Will the sweetness of Stede's creations make him understand something more about himself - and love, too?
