Summary
Young Ed Teach is minding his own business on the quayside when a blond toff asks if he's for hire. For hire hire.
He wasn't, but maybe he is now.

Bookmark Notes:
“Who makes the rules?” Thomas says, trying for light hearted and failing. Ed can feel the touch of his watching eyes as sure as if they were fingers. His neck itches.
“They’re just rules, man.”
As Ed sits on the edge of the bed to pull his boots on there’s a shine of silver in the near-dark room and Thomas holds out a crown. Twice as much as they’d agreed, and it somehow feels less.
This little fic makes my chest hurt.
Stede's innocence and hope and cringeworthy gestures. Ed's willingness to perform the role of worldy sailor sex worker, and his knee-jerk avoidance of connecting to Stede. It all comes together so quickly at the end, leaving me with quiet regret and pity for them both.
Thank you for sharing your creation. 💜
