Summary
Stede dotes on Ed in the bedroom. Ed sure as hell isn’t complaining, but it makes it hard for him to repay the favor. So he decides to create a few ground rules. It works out beautifully, and then even better when Stede breaks his leash.
_____________________“I only get to touch you three times?” Stede asks.
“Yup,” Ed says, “Say the word, and you get to touch me wherever you want, however you want, until I tell you to stop.”
“That sounds…” Stede hesitates, “Well it sounds quite difficult.”
“I have faith in you.”

Summary
“You look –” Stede steps forward, and if she says “pretty,” Ed thinks she might tear her own face off. She doesn’t mind that sometimes, but tonight she wants to be something different.
“Astonishing,” Stede says, moving closer, close enough to touch. Her fingers land on the lapel of Ed’s velvet coat, smoothing the grain of it. “The most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”
“Beautiful." Ed's voice is unfamiliar to her, a low rasp.
“Handsome,” Stede says quietly, and the word catches in Ed’s throat like a diamond.

Summary
How it kept happening, Ed didn’t know. But for some reason, every deity of luck had decided that he got to see Stede Bonnet almost every time they made landfall.
He didn’t know what he had done to deserve this—maybe the universe was rewarding him for saving the world in a previous life or trying to make it up to him for his childhood—but he was not going to complain.
***
Where Edward Teach is 20 years old when he first meets Stede Bonnet, and they become friends with benefits (and a lot of feelings) through the years until Stede goes to sea.
