  1. Summary

    During the time between the end of Series 2 and Series 3, Alec Hardy and Ellie Miller had a series of what could best be described as one night stands. Or at least, that was the original intention. By the end of that year, Alec had decided to return to Broadchurch and Ellie realized she didn't have the capacity to be a good DS, mother, and partner and the relationship ended before it could really even begin.

    Neither particularly believe in soul mates or happily ever afters, but when you're broken, traumatized, grumpy, closed off, and just simply trying your best that doesn't mean that you don't deserve to be happy. They find their way back to each other, but the journey isn't easy.

    Summary

    Stede takes in a deep breath and smiles. “Ed, I—” he says, but that’s as far as he gets before Ed’s pulling the gun out of its holster.

    He aims, and Stede manages to yelp and duck just in the nick of time. The wood behind him splinters. “Fucking hell!” he yells, and springs back up into standing position. He takes a second to mourn the scarred wood before turning to Ed. “I know I cocked things up, but there’s no need to be dramatic!”

    1717. The Golden Age of Piracy. Stede Bonnet sets about wooing the love of his life through any means necessary.

    Things do not go as planned.

    Summary

    Stede is ready to 'get back out there' after his divorce, but he's more than a little bit intimidated by the concept of online dating. After a series of truly terrible first dates, he's close to giving up on love altogether. Perhaps he's too old for all this Grindr nonsense.

    And then, along comes a bartender called Edward Teach.

    Summary

    "Mary, I have to get to Mary."

    He says and Ed feels an unpleasant jolt… Mary. There's that name again. After what he'd heard in the bunk today Ed had finally put together that it was Stede's wife… and really it was silly to be jealous of a woman Stede had literally left…

    "Fuck okay… you lived here in Barbados right? She must not be far." Ed says and frowns, looking around. Thankfully it seemed like no one else had been drawn by the noise.

    "Have to make it right… have to do something right for once in my life. I have to, I have to." Stede keeps babbling… he's in shock, Ed slowly realizes. He's seen shock do funny things to all sorts of people in his long career. He's seen them throw themselves off ships, walk right into a bullet or a blade. He wouldn’t let that happen to Stede.
