    Summary

    "Hey." Ed reaches across because it's the only thing that feels right. He grasps Stede's wrist and smoothes the pad of his thumb across his knuckles. Stede stops fiddling with his ring and looks up at him, wide-eyed. "This isn't Captain shit. This is God shit. Are you God?"

    The room is blank with silence.

    Gently, Ed repeats, "Are you God, Stede?"

    Stede's voice is thin and high when he answers, "I'm not God."

    "And is God here, in this room?"

    Comically, Stede looks around like he might find God perched on the edge of his desk, or pulling books from his shelves to examine the spines.

    "He's not," Stede concedes.

    "That's right, mate. Stupid bugger doesn't associate himself with pirates."

     

    Or: The Revenge has been becalmed for six days. Ed has bigger things to worry about, like sharks and being in love.

    Summary

    “Look - I don’t usually do this, but I am the food critic for The Anchor, and it’s imperative that I -”
    “Oh, a food critic! Well that changes things.”
    “Does it?”
    “Sure. What was that name again?”
    “Stede Bonnet. Food Critic, Stede Bonnet.”
    “Right. Well, fuck off, Food Critic Stede Bonnet. Blackbeard’s Bar and Grill is all booked up.”

    The manager at the new restaurant Stede is trying to review is being kind of a dick. A certain member of the waitstaff, however, takes a bit of a liking to him.
