Summary
Magic gets tedious when you’re dealing with it every day. Ed's the best witch around, but even in semi-retirement he can’t rest. There’s a whole village relying on him, potions to brew and enchantments to cast. His business is booming, sure, but if he’s really honest with himself— he just didn’t care. It felt devoid of a long-dissipated passion, just going through the motions each day.
It was all so… boring. Lonely, if he was honest about it.
Enter a new neighbor. A break in Ed's monotony. A chatty wizard who can't cast a decent spell to save his life with a penchant for smiling at Ed like he hung the moon.
Well. Color Ed intrigued.

Ed’s to-do list for the day is completely scribbled out and just below there’s a remorseful doodle of a frowny-face and the barely-legible scrawl: Be sick and miss brunch.

Summary
”Ed admires the most recent firework as it blazes in a flourishing cascade of violet light, the shimmering sparkles filling the night like sudden, fleeting stars. A joy that lasts mere seconds. A chaotic blaze of beauty, faded away too fast.
Slipping through his fingers.
Ed vehemently pushes the thought away, turning back to seek out the one thing that’s truly bringing him comfort tonight. Stede, bare and beautiful, gently draws the gossamer curtains shut. Their world gets that much smaller, encapsulated alone in this bunk. Not a single thing outside of this space needs to matter— all that does, is them. Finally together. Not wasting another second.”
*S2E6, the fade-to-black missing scene.

Summary
Ed jerks his head in the direction of the couch in the nearby waiting nook, and prepares himself for impending disaster.
The impending disaster follows. Eagerly.
“I’ve organized everything chronologically,” he says, setting the overstuffed briefcase down and thumbing through some of the piles. “But I can, of course, rearrange the presentation order based on your personal preferences! Alphabetically? Most-to-least amusing? Oh! Or a mystery draw - just pick a random folder without looking! That could be fun, couldn’t it?”
Somewhere, deep in Ed’s soul, a very tiny, very tired voice goes: there is something deeply wrong with you as a man, Ed. You’re into this. Don’t even try to fucking deny it.
(Or: Stede Bonnet is getting his first tattoo. Maybe. If Ed is able to rifle through Stede's entire briefcase of ideas and pro/con lists and flow charts and excel spreadsheets, and figure out what he actually wants. Which might take some time. A Reverse Big Bang 2025 fic with art by bbyteach!)

Summary
Kinktober Prompt day 31: "Praise Kink, Aftercare, "I've got you"" with the amazing Jadey who made stunning art
“Suppose we should,” Ed agreed, smirking against his skin that was flushing a pretty pink under his affections. “Great idea, actually, you’re full of those.”
“Wanna be full of you instead,” Stede snapped back in an impatient whine, going frigid as soon as he’d realized he’d said it out loud just as it came to mind.
“Fuck yes, that’s a good boy,” Ed’s grin was like a supernova, bright and enticing as he felt Stede’s breath leave his lungs in a quick woosh, his rigid body turning to putty beneath his calloused palms just as intended with the praise. “Oh, you’re gonna be so good for me, aren’t you.”
It was a statement rather than a question, and Stede couldn’t be bothered to teasingly correct him, all bratty attitude possibilities non-existent with the pulse of arousal that was sent down straight to his hips at Ed’s words, his tone just as ragged with want as Stede felt. He could barely manage a nod as he felt Ed’s teeth graze the now-sensitive skin at his neck, whining “Y-yes, please, Ed,”

Summary
A modern AU in which Ed is a glassblower, because glassblowing is sexy. Ed/Stede medium burn, E rating applies from chapter 4 onwards.
Stede's life is boring, flat, made up of things he didn't choose for himself. He commissions some glass art from Ed as an anniversary gift for Mary, and Stede starts to learn what it is like to want things for himself.
---
“Hey, it’s blond guy!”
“Uh,” Stede looks up to see leather and purple and strikingly tumbling hair. “Hi. Stede Bonnet. Blond guy?”
“Yeah man, I’ve seen you in the shop, I call you Blond Guy in my head. Good to have a proper name for you, Stede. I’m Ed.”
