    Summary

    “When I was a child,” Stede says slowly, faraway and nostalgic. “My mother - she never really spent much time in the kitchen, of course; we had dedicated household staff that handled all the cooking, but there was one thing she used to make herself. She’d melt brown sugar until it bubbled, and it was just on this side of burnt, but not quite? And she’d pour it out and let it harden in these big sheets of transparent, amber-coloured toffee. I used to break off shards and suck it into razor-sharp points; would run around pretending I had a knife, or a prison shank. They made excellent props when playing at being a pirate.”

    Stede is sort of lost in the tangent. He’s good at telling stories, even real-life ones, and Ed finds himself getting a bit lost in it, too.

    “Your eyes are like that,” says Stede.

    “When the sunlight gets them. Like the taste of it. Smoky and sweet,” says Stede.

    “Like melty, burnt toffee. They’re so lovely, Ed,” says Stede.

     

    These are the things that Ed collects.

     

    (OR: Ed keeps buried treasure after all. Stede finds his secret stash. Post S2 oneshot with Big Ed feelings as he slowly comes to grips with the fact that he's VERY loved - but we already knew that)

    Summary

    Prince Stede of Bonnet is en route to be married to the King of Low when his ship is overtaken by pirates. Stede offers himself up to the Dread Pirate Blackbeard in exchange for freeing the rest of his people. He does not expect Blackbeard to propose marriage as a part of their agreement, but if it is a choice between the kind of monster Ned is and the kind of monster Blackbeard is, that is an exceedingly easy choice to make.

    Summary

    “Look Ed! It’s my coat! Come back to me at last!”

    Ed squinted out to sea. He could make out two figures aboard, one dressed in red. They were slumped over and silent. Dead, then, by the looks of it.

    “You mean the cursed coat, babe? The one you had to get rid of?”

    “That’s right!” Stede was pleased Ed remembered.

    “How can you tell?” Ed could barely see it from their spot on the beach.

    “I’d know that coat anywhere, darling. Help me fetch it to shore?”

    Summary

    Stede rounds the corner into the cabin, and Ed looks up and freezes right in the middle of folding his trousers. Because Stede is—he’s wearing glasses, these little round silver-framed spectacles that sit low on his nose, and Ed has never seen them before, and he didn’t even know that Stede needed glasses, and…and fuck.
