    Summary

    Frenchie pauses, searching for the right words.

    “I know you weren’t exactly thrilled about this, is all,” he finally tells him…

    It was fine. It would all be fine. Except for that one thing still nagging at him, clawing at his insides if he stopped too long to let it.

    “I’m coming around. Where’s everyone else?” he asks.

    “Roach, Swede, and Oluwande are splitting a hotel room, so they’re probably just getting in.”

    Ed looks down at his drink, swirling the liquid in circles, hoping his voice sounds neutral. “And, um. Stede?”

    Ed is pretty comfortable letting the past be the past; but at his fifteen year reunion, it’s a little hard to avoid. Maybe that’s okay.

    Summary

    Edward Teach is a pop star about to embark on his latest tour when he develops vocal nodes. Stede Bonnet is the voice specialist who treats him. Sparks fly.

     

    “Right. And could you please describe your singing voice to me? Or sing something you feel showcases your voice, if you feel comfortable. For my usual clientele, I’d suggest their go-to audition song, but I don’t get the sense that you do much auditioning.”

     

    There’s a long pause during which Stede takes note of the guy’s eyes. Not a literal case note, that would be inappropriate. His eyes are large and brown and expressive, quicksand eyes. Eyes a person could get lost in. Right now, they’re slightly narrowed at Stede. He seems to decide something.

     

    “Listen,” the client says. “I appreciate you not wanting to make it weird, but I promise I’m used to it.”

     

    “Used to it?” Stede asks, and there go the eyes again. Stede has the oddest sense of being taken apart, exposed, like the recurring dream he has of walking through the halls of his secondary school without a single stitch of clothing on, down to the same vague, unsettling sense that it should be more awkward than it is.

    Summary

    Ed's minding his business when the new neighbor's kid comes around holding a human puppet. It's creepy as hell, but as soon as the kid's father rounds the corner, Ed doesn't mind.

    ETA: Podfic available here from Kninjaknitter my darling dearest


    “Hello,” says the strangest voice Ed’s ever heard, jolting him out of his reverie, sending his heart speeding into chaos.

    He opens his eyes and he’s staring straight at a stuffed animal in the shape of a human person. It is bald with a tiny hat and too-big eyes and it wears a blue shirt and a name tag that says Jeffy in the sort of scrawl normally reserved for words written in blood.

    A puppet, he realizes several seconds beyond when it would have been appropriate to respond.
