Summary
“Lucius said I could practice on a banana, only we haven’t got any on board,” Stede says, and the words take a moment to coalesce into meaning. Ed blinks, shakes his head — a banana, for fuck’s sake, he’s jealous of a banana, get it together, old man — reaches over, and plucks the book from Stede’s grasp.
“Relax. Forget — practice. Forget the book. I’ll talk you through it. When have I ever taught you badly?”

Summary
“Yeah,” Ed agrees, leaning in, breathing deep. “Yeah, you’re good. You’re fine.”
“Mm,” is Stede’s smiling response, and then between one moment and the next Ed is being kissed again. His shaking hands are in Stede’s hair, gripping at his ear, the side of his neck, trying to hold on to the shape of him while Ed himself feels like he’s falling apart. Heat and tongues and the slick, indecent slide of them take over. Breaths funneling into one another.
Against Ed’s gasping mouth, Stede murmurs, “My dear. You’re shaking,” before sucking in Ed’s bottom lip.
Groaning, Ed doesn’t try to fight it—the tide of panic, of love, of fear that lingers. He hadn’t expected that part, to be honest. All his life and Ed had shown fear the middle finger every time it came knocking. He’s had to, hasn’t he? But then wham, love stomps him to the ground, sets up a home inside his chest, and Ed hasn’t known peace since.
Stede’s fingers trying their damnedest to wiggle under his leather, squeezing at Ed’s ass sure as shit isn’t helping keep him sane.

Summary
“Unhand him,” Stede said.
“Or what?”
“Good point. I can’t say ‘or bleed.’ You’re going to do that already.”(prompt fill for the OFMD kink meme: "you know ‘Unhand me or bleed” knife!Stede? I want to see that guy coming to Ed’s rescue when he’s in peril. Bonus points if he takes bloody vengeance or needs to be talked down from it.”)

Summary
“What kind of party did Lucius say this was?” Ed was starting to get the feeling that it was a rather more specialist gathering than either of them had realised.
Stede hummed. “He said it was a play party, so I assume there’ll be a theatrical performance at some point later on. I wonder where the stage is?”Written for a prompt on the kinkmeme requesting Ed and Stede attending a sex party, Stede being oblivious, and Ed enjoying being admired. Original prompt here.

Summary
It's Stede's turn to stare incredulously at him. Ed notices, somewhere in the back of his brain, that he refrains from being smug about it. "You mean you don't-"
"Of course not," Ed breaks in, awkward. "It's - immoral."
"You're a pirate," Stede says, pointed.
"Yeah, but that's different," Ed says, surly.

Summary
Stede tossed down the invitation card on the couch. “On the contrary!” He scrambled to his feet “You’re not wearing anything that beastly man owned. You deserve something far better, especially for your first time out. If we’re going to a party, you’re getting all the luxury you deserve.”

Summary
“Can we speak? Somewhere more private, perhaps?”
“We can speak right here, mate. In front of the crew and god and this cherry masted ship and anything else that might be watching. You abandoned us all, so whatever you need to say, you can say to us all.”
“I love you.”
“That,” Ed said in a flat voice, “is a hell of a fucking thing to say.”

Summary
This is sort-of new. A few years ago I had wanted to write a coda of sorts to this series. The first two chapters are the result of that (and a draft had been posted on livejournal & tumblr under a different name). It remained unfinished until I got the idea to incorporate a short vignette I'd written for a Valentine's Day prompt (also a while ago) that seemed to fit and made it complete. Or so I think!

Ha! I can’t help myself. It’s way too easy to rile you up. Just a quick question, though. Have you ever sealed the deal with the warrior babe?
Well, don’t you want to know what it’s like? I’m in the mood to share today. And so was Gabrielle.
