    Summary

    Edward, Stede thinks, examining the man laying on the bed. He looks for all the world like a fearsome outlaw, which makes the failed robbery all the more confusing to Stede, but there’s a vulnerability in his sleeping face that tugs on his heartstrings. Stede’s always been a bit of a sucker for a stray. He attributes it to being a bit of a stray himself.

    Edward looks tired. Really tired, more than just the wound would justify.

    Perhaps he can get some rest here. Perhaps Stede can help with that, at least.

     

    In which notorious outlaw Edward Teach and his band of miscreants are taken in by kindly ranch owner Stede Bonnet and his misfit crew of semi-reformed criminals.

    AKA the cowboy au no one asked for but I desperately want. Yeehaw.

    [COMPLETE!]

    Summary

    “Easy there, captain.” Roach abandons the half-placed bandages in favor of retrieving a cup of water from the bedside table. Sliding a hand behind Stede’s back to prop him up just far enough to prevent choking, he helps him to take a few small sips, “You can have more in a bit. Drink too much at once and you’re liable to upchuck all over your expensive linens.”

    “T-Thank you, Roach.” His voice is scarce above a whisper, and even sustaining that seems to be causing him immense pain. “What… What happened to me? I feel like death.” Roach lowers him back down onto the bed to continue fussing with his bandages.

    “There was a storm.” He says, matter-of-fact. “You took a nasty blow to the head and fell overboard.” He casts a sidelong glance in Izzy’s direction. Now that Stede is awake, Izzy seems determined to look anywhere and everywhere else—“Izzy saved you.”

    Silence. Then, “Iggy saved me.” He repeats, like the idea is so ludicrous he doesn’t even need to make it a question. “You’re joking.”

    Summary

    Izzy Hands digs graves and dreams of being alone on the ocean. He doesn't know what one has to do with the other, but he does know that talking to Edward Teach and Stede Bonnet from the local saloon fills him with anger. If he's honest with himself, it might actually be something more like fear, or maybe even shame. But for now, anger hurts less.

    A Western AU where everybody is reincarnated from their canon-era OFMD selves, but doesn't know it... Yet.

    Now with illustrations!

    Summary

    After Izzy manages to make himself sick, he's unwillingly subjected to Stede Bonnet's particular brand of posh hospitality. And Stede, for his part, is determined to be liked.

    Naturally, Izzy isn't going down without a fight.

    Edit: I was going to continue this, but decided I was content with the place I left it. I believe I achieved what I wished to with the narrative. :) I hope you enjoy!
