Summary
“Well that’s certainly a pretty sight,” Stede murmurs against Ed’s shoulder blade, lips slowly trailing along the line of marks Ed knew that Mary had put there earlier. His hold around Ed’s waist tightens, pulling him back with a swift tug, knowing full and well that the move would only bring Ed closer to his stiffened cock. “When’d she give you these?” He doesn’t even have to ask who put them there – between her and her husband, Mary’s the only one who leaves hickies.

Summary
“How long have you been awake, love?” he murmurs into the crown of Ed's hair, pressing a kiss to the top of his curls. He has a hunch, of course, based on the current state of their living room and the dark circles under Edward's eyes, but Stede's not particularly interested in proving hunches right now.
Ed isn’t quick to answer, tracing a slow pattern with a featherlight touch against the back of Stede's hand as he hesitates. Stede's patient, in absolutely no rush while Ed finds his words. He presses another kiss to Ed's temple, tightening his hold on him. Stede's got him – no matter what, Stede's got him.
After a moment, Ed clears his throat, shifting uncomfortably against Stede. “I, uh, never actually went to bed,” he admits, voice low and just edged with an embarrassment that Stede wants to whisk away from him and chuck straight into the sea.
Stede can feel how taut Ed's muscles are, wrapped around him like this. Ed keeps his gaze trained down on the blanket in front of him, refusing to look back, to come anywhere close to meeting Stede's longing gaze right now, and Stede's heart just about shatters.

Summary
"Do you see how fucking pretty you look like this?"
Opening his eyes again, he sees Ed looking at him now like Stede is something to be devoured. He’s seen the way that Ed looks at him before, obviously he knows what Ed looks like when they fuck. But he’s never seen the way that he looks when Ed fucks him, never seen the way his freckles dot the pink flush of his skin like constellations at dusk; never noticed the way his tits bounce each time their hips meet; never realized how absolutely whorish he looks bent over like this, taking Ed’s cock with his skirt hitched against the counter like a slut. It’s shattering, actually, to know that this is what Ed sees every time. It makes his cunt pulse, and he feels Ed’s cock twitch in return.

Summary
Stede doesn’t get out much. He’s usually able to hide behind the excuse of working from home when someone pries about it. His therapist wishes he was more honest with himself about why he actually doesn’t leave his house too often, but it’s all a work in progress, really. And it really isn't anybody’s business that visiting the grocery store makes him want to vomit, or that it took him 45 minutes to work up the courage to walk a block down to the drugstore last week. He has his bubble, filled with his wonderful children and his wonderful husband and his best friend (who just so happens to be his ex-wife). He’s happy, he's content, he doesn’t need much else, thank you very much. But when he realizes that he’s pregnant again, for the first time in years, Stede decides that he has to be brave.

Summary
Ed carefully unzips her sleep suit in turn, exposing her little chest and belly before bringing her against his own bare chest, their skin meeting each other in a warm embrace. Stede's instinct is to admonish himself for not thinking of that on his own, but just as quickly as the thought enters his head, he hears Ed’s own soothing voice replace it – “you’re doing a great job,” whispered across the table at breakfast, kissed against his skin at night, texted from across the house during naptime. A constant reassurance from Edward that Stede isn’t totally fucking this up all of the time. Stede decides to believe him this time.

Summary
"Are you gonna come for me, baby?" Ed sighs against his lips as he slips his two fingers into the warm velvet of Stede's cunt. They slide in easily, Stede's own wetness and Ed's multiple loads providing more than enough lubrication for him to fuck into his husband with long beckoning strokes. His thumb finds Stede's clit, rubbing it in tight circles to accompany his other fingers.

Summary
He pulls Ed back up into their kiss, deep, searching, reassuring. “I want you,” he murmurs against his lips in their shared breath, pressing their foreheads together, “to fuck me –” Ed shudders a moan as Stede rolls his hips again, the friction from Ed’s clothed cock making Stede’s cunt clench around nothing “ – so deep that you put another baby in me.”
Stede wants to bottle the noise Ed makes in response, a broken little whimper that sends shocks through his system as his entire body lights up, igniting that flame he’d been desperately missing for god knows how long.
“Think you can do that for me, sweet man?”

Summary
Ed was Stede's – he had been since he shoved a bully for picking on that little blonde kid on the playground when they were nine years old; and he had been since that same twelve year old nervously asked Ed to kiss him for the first time "just to practice;" and he had been since that fifteen year old told him in a voice strong through quaking that he was Stede now; and he had been even when he wasn't, during a twenty-year dark night when Ed thought that he'd lost everything – because, he realized, Stede was everything. It had always been him. It was always going to be him.

Summary
"Oh fuck off," Lucius whines in protest, his sob cracking in his frustration at being denied again. His cunt aches, clit throbbing as he squeezes his thighs together in a not so fucking subtle attempt to get any kind of friction, desperately chasing any lingering vestiges of the orgasm he was being so rudely denied.
Stede tuts at his display, slowly running his hand along the inside of Lucius’ thigh before dipping into the divot of his hip. The touch is one of the only things keeping Lucius on this side of sanity, although it's little consolation for what he really needs right now. “I know, darling, I know,” he soothes, his velvet voice a whiplash contrast to his actions.

Summary
“Not yet, dove.”
Stede whined – a pretty little whimper – and Ed was more than tempted to draw that sound out of him again. As it was, he'd already earned several of those noises from Stede in the past few minutes alone, each and every one worthy of being bottled and kept in Ed's pocket forever. But this one was different, more desperate than any of the others that'd come before it.

Summary
It’s, uh, July 9th, 2010. Ed – that’s me. I’m Ed. Edward Teach, born on a beach. Oh fucking hell, this is weird.
I guess I should probably keep addressing this thing as Jeff, huh? Keep the record pure or some shit? Stede was the one who named the stupid thing – or, you? I guess? Stede named you? I don’t fucking know, mate, this voice-journaling thing was never really my vibe, it was always Stede shoving the phone in my face to catch my, like, deepest darkest secrets or whatever. My real, unfiltered thoughts or some shit.
So. Jeff. This is, uh, this is to hold myself accountable, I guess. Stede always wanted me to be more vulnerable talking about this shit, and I guess I might as well try fucking now. Don’t know why I’m still doing shit that Stede wanted, but the bastard always had an uncanny ability to make everything about him, huh?

Summary
"Can you come for me, sweetheart?" Stede brushes their noses together, whispering into their shared breath like a prayer on his lips. "Be a good boy and come for me, Edward." Mary's hands are tugging the hair at the nape of his neck as Stede snaps his hips against Ed's again, his cock slamming exactly where it needs to as Stede continues his whispered praises while he delicately circles the slit of Ed's cockhead and –
"Just for me."

Summary
Ed could never turn his back on the sea.
Because now, as he watches his family dive into the waves, he knows he was always meant to be here. She’s carried him this far, across waters uncharted and lands untravelled, through tempests that should have claimed him and riptides that should have pulled him under. But through it all, after all this time, She’s brought him here, to this moment, to this love.

Summary
He screams at the sea, an unwitting victim of his rage, his fire, his grief. He screams until his throat is raw and ragged and then he screams some more still, dragging a sound guttural and bloody out from the darkest parts of him, the bits burnt black from his scorched earth. It claws its way from his throat, digging scars into the soft flesh on its way out. It’s a reminder of his love, a testament to his devotion carved in blood, and the pain feels good.

Summary
“Hi,” he sighed, the first thing his mind seemed capable of forming into words. “Hi, oh, hi – I love you,” Stede told her – through all of the fog his brain was still muddling through, he knew that with more clarity than he’d ever known anything else.

Summary
Pushing the door to their bedroom open, the sight that greeted Ed made his heart ache. Stede had pretty much given up on dressing, a trail of discarded clothing leading to his side of the bed the only indication that he had even considered getting dressed that morning.
Stede was laying on his side of the bed, wearing next to nothing, having managed to get himself settled with a pregnancy pillow contorted around his body. His breathing was slow, chest rising and falling like waves lapping against the hull of a ship. A thin sheen of sweat dewed across his forehead, the fan blowing directly onto him seemingly doing nothing to help it.
Every fan blowing and window open in the house was no match for being heavily pregnant in the middle of August. Between the heatwave and the little monster kicking the shit out of him, he'd barely been sleeping the past week.

Summary
"You're different, and it's because of Ed."
She turned to Ed. "You made him different."
"And it's good different! You're so much better now, and I really am so happy that you're happy now. And I forgave you, because you earned it." She looked down at the floor, digging her heel into the ground to avoid making eye contact now. Her voice softened, sounding much younger than just a moment ago, and Stede was reminded so much of the little girl who used to insist on playing pirates in the living room despite her mother's protests.
"But now...I just...I can see that you’re happier now with Ed than with Mom, and I just wonder whether you'll be happier with this new baby than you were with us.”

Alma has some Big Feelings about the new baby.

Summary
Valentine’s Day used to be a week-long affair, with he and Stede sparing no expense trying to constantly one-up the other with gifts and surprise trips and romantic dinners. Lucius thought they were disgusting about it but Ed honestly couldn’t give less of a shit. But they’d really fallen off the wagon with it the past few years – first was Stede’s wicked morning sickness two years ago, with Valentine’s Day falling squarely in the middle of his first trimester. They’d had to reschedule their (optimistically planned, in all fairness) plans that year, pushing their trip to Campbell River to after his morning sickness settled in the second trimester.
Then Charlotte was sick for most of February last year, and they’d just about lost track of the calendar until Ed was aggressively reminded during a late night pharmacy run for cough medicine. They’d promised each other that this year would make up for the previous two, and Ed sure as shit had a calendar reminder sitting there taunting him.
Needless to say, Ed had totally, completely, 100% forgotten Valentine's Day, and if his still sleeping husband were any indication, he'd bet that Stede did too.

Summary
At this stage when one of the kids texted the entire parental unit group chat for a whole family meeting, they’d all generally stopped panicking about it. Generally.
The last time it’d happened, Al had decidedly informed them that she was driving herself from Vancouver to Ottawa to attend a university she’d never visited in person. That conversation was kind of a disaster, all of the adults jumping over each other to speak until she’d eventually declared that no one was allowed to interrupt her until she was done talking. Not that anyone’s opinion on the issue really mattered – Alma wasn’t exactly easily influenced once she’d made up her mind.
It was hard enough walking Stede back off the ledge from that one – there had been a mild amount of spiraling following that announcement, followed by a fair bit of bargaining (to no one in particular, mostly just Stede to himself).
Turns out that was a breeze compared to when Louis told them all he was hired onto a research project in Yukon.
