Summary
Ed and Stede both get overwhelmed at a party and meet over the resident dog. That's it. I hate socialising but can be convinced by the promise of a dog or cat to befriend.

This is silly but once I had the idea it kept rattling around my brain and now it's your problem.

Summary
I don't think Ed/Stede would end up being innkeepers. In this fic they simply decide to retire and not run an inn at all. Some miscommunication happens first - because of course it does with our idiots - but any angst does not last for very long.

Summary
They speak at length, every single day, in and out. All they do is talk, and not just about their pain and forgiveness. About the work left on the house, about their pasts, about their old life and their hopes for their new life. Stede believes Ed knows him best, inside and out, surely, and he would hope Ed would say the same about him. They revel in conversation, in paid compliments, in laughter, in flirtatious words and necking.
It simply doesn’t translate to the sex. Sex is quiet and serious and routine. And Stede’s not sure he has any right to be slightly put out about that. And since Stede’s not sure how he should be feeling, he’s not really sure how to put it into words. Ed always makes him so comfortable, makes him feel beautiful and adored, makes him believe in himself. This one little thing shouldn’t be that difficult to discuss.
--
Or: Stede is blissfully happy with Ed and their new home. He's just got some simple concerns! About their sex life! No big deal!

Summary
Edward "Blackbeard" Teach spent his youth running between gangs, fighting to make a name for himself and carving out both a fearsome reputation and a small empire. The Ed of today is older, wiser, has a shit knee and is doing his best to give back by offering to help at risk children with the Lighthouse Center, a place of safety he never had.
Enter one Stede Bonnet, an award winning dressage rider who offers to help the youth center by donating time at his stable to the kids in Edward's care. It's a dream come true until Stede offers to help Edward overcome his fear of horses. Ed realizes that he's being seduced by a man in incredibly tight pants, hips that do things that make his mind melt and a smile that makes his heart stutter.
Sexiness, fluff, no real angst and just... honestly Stede being sexy as hell in riding outfits and all the things that happen afterwards that blow Ed's mind.
