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.

Summary
At precisely the seven-and-a-half hour mark, Izzy prepares the cabin for landing. Ed’s crackly voice buzzes over the loudspeaker with the announcement. He’s not thinking specifically of Finance Consultant Guy, nor of anything bar the inevitable banality of deboarding, so it genuinely catches him off-guard when a hand closes over his wrist.
“Apologies for being forward, but what are you doing after this?”

Summary
The core concepts had always seemed fairly simple to Stede: block like that, swing like this, try not to get stabbed. Izzy made it look infinitely more complicated and somehow, too easy. He moved like water, without hesitation.
Izzy decides Stede needs proper swordplay lessons.

Summary
Post-episode 10, Stede brings his rescued crew to Spanish Jackie's, where he finds an unlikely ally in Izzy Hands. Together, they agree to find Ed, and end up growing closer than either imagined.
Stede reached out, as if to run his fingers over Izzy’s scar, but thought better of it and pulled his hand away. “You, me, and Ed all have the same scar,” he observed. “Funny, you gave me mine, I gave Ed his, and he gave you yours. It makes a circle, like Ouroboros eating his own tail.”
This is centered on Izzy/Stede, leading up to eventual Stede/Izzy/Ed.

Jim and Izzy falling in love, and their misadventures there after.

Summary
It’s Paris in the summer of 2024, and world-famous diving champion Ed Teach is representing New Zealand in what could be his final Olympics. After coming back from an almost career-ending injury he’s focussed everything he's got on winning gold at these Games, but when he meets Stede Bonnet—a first-time diving rival representing Barbados—at the infamous free condom handout and then discovers they're roommates, he’s suddenly got a lot more to think about.
As Ed’s synchronisation with his long-term diving partner Izzy Hands begins to falter and Stede struggles with his confidence, believing in each other might be the only thing that gets them both through. In between, they're going to take this brief, fated time together to connect in every possible way they can.

Summary
The woman adjusts her grip on her gun. “No men,” she says, clearly.
Oh, fuck this. Ed's leg is aching from standing around. He's not about to turn around, walk back to shore and camp out on the dunes, waiting for their ship to return when there’s a perfectly nice house he owns in spitting distance. And he doesn’t take kindly to people pointing guns at Stede!
“Says who?” he growls.
“Our mayor. Anna Teach.”

Ed Teach is a brilliant student. And twenty three years old.
Ed Teach is dazzlingly beautiful. And twenty three years old.
Ed Teach had admitted to Stede in office hours that afternoon he found older men very attractive. Ed Teach had said this as his remarkable eyes rolled up and down Stede’s body. Ed Teach had leaned forward and the low, tattered scoop of his fashionable sleeveless shirt had revealed two flashing pieces of jewelry in each of his nipples.
And Ed Teach is twenty three years old.
