Summary
Ed and Jack had been hooking up ever since Jack saved his life. Ed had always tried his best to keep his feelings in check, but surely, after all this time, Jack had to care about him too, at least just a little?
Ed couldn’t deny that the sight of Jack sitting there naked, stroking himself, made him instantly hard, even if he was screaming internally that this meant nothing. ‘I mean nothing to him. None of this means anything and it never will.’ If he’d heard Jack say that that once, he’d heard him say it a thousand times. Still, this hook up already felt different.
Ed couldn’t have been more wrong.

Summary
Ed and Stede talk about what they like in bed and have some super sexy times in their crumbly little house. Set not too long after 2x08. Maybe they both enjoy talking dirty to each other? Maybe they both have a little bit of a cum kink?
Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

Summary
For nearly a year, Stede Bonnet has been preoccupied with one particular sexual fantasy. Mary doesn’t want it, Stede does, and eventually he arrives at what seems like a perfectly practical solution: one anonymous encounter with a stranger, purely to satisfy his curiosity, after which he can put the whole thing behind him and get on with his life.
He thinks it's an excellent plan.

Summary
I like to say we live in the moment.
It’s a little joke, see, even if it’s not very funny. You always laugh anyway.
I remember all your laughs. A fresh set to go with every new place.
This one’s got laugh lines deep enough to get lost in. I know, because I have.
Gotten lost, that is.

Summary
It's fine that he's married—until it isn't. So Ed takes off on a train for points west to collect himself, and collect wisdom from some old friends, sending dispatches back home to Ma in the form of pithy postcards he finds along the way.
Basically: sometimes you have to leave just so you can come home again.

Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.
