Summary
The man was a lunatic. He’d never seen anything or anyone like him. Edward was fascinated, utterly enraptured. He traced his fingers (lightly) over the jackets hanging in rows while Stede struggled into clean trousers behind him. Blue, purple, yellow… some of the colors he didn’t have names for! This one was smooth, and he jerked his hand away when a rough spot on a callus snagged the fabric slightly. That one was almost fuzzy, like the belly of a newborn kitten. This one had a varying texture, some bits raised and rougher with other bits more slick, in a kind of diamond pattern. Amazing!
So after that, back in the main cabin, when Stede knew who he was (he looked terrified for a moment, and Edward had smiled to see it, to see that he still had it, that this man was human after all) and Edward--Blackbeard--had admitted he didn’t see the point in piracy anymore (the point in life anymore, he didn’t say), it just came out.
“Do you want to do something weird?”

Summary
“Hey. That’s my name. My name’s in your name.” He pointed, then drew a line under the “ED” in “STEDE.”
Stede blinked down at the jagged lines in the sand. “So it is,” he said. Ed leaned close and bumped their bare shoulders together. He was grinning, and Stede found himself matching the grin.

Stede reads The Odyssey to Ed and teaches Ed to read and write. Cute domestic couple stuff, and cute domestic crew stuff, happens. Completely self-indulgent fluff and happiness, set a couple of years after Season One (and hopefully after Seasons Two+ as well....).

Summary
“You smug bastard, shut the hell up.” Stede was scowling but also biting back a smile, and he drew back the scrap of fabric and smacked Ed’s chest with it. “And this! This!” he exclaimed as if he suddenly realized what it was he held. “This was my favorite dressing gown, and you… you cut it up?”
Ed had the sense to look at least slightly ashamed. “Wanted a part of you to keep with me. Couldn’t make myself get rid of everything.” He reached out to run the fabric between his finger and thumb. “Smelled like you.” He looked up at Stede through thick, black eyelashes. Stede’s heart skipped a beat. “I kept it. The robe. We can patch it up.”

“Oh,” Stede breathed.
“Yeah, ‘oh,’ you idiot,” Blackbeard muttered.

Summary
He’d put the hole there with his own sword, so it was only right that he take responsibility for mending it. Blackbeard didn’t look at him once the whole time, only grit his teeth, turned his head away, and took a swig from a filthy, half-empty bottle now and then until the pain and the rum overtook him and his eyes finally fluttered closed.

Summary
Crowley loves taking Aziraphale out to eat almost as much as Aziraphale loves eating, but it's always a bit of a one-sided affair. Aziraphale has never understood why. Crowley planned on keeping it that way, but best laid plans...

Summary
Ed had spent most of his formative years on ships. By the time he met Stede, the legendary Blackbeard had sea legs for days.
Wooden decks and billowing sails had become almost an extension of his body. He remained sure-footed even when timber strained and creaked. Moving with the push and pull of the sea became as natural to him as breathing.
A ship could heave and buck like an unruly horse as sheets of rain lashed the sails and thunder cracked overhead, and Ed would just shift his weight with the swaying deck, almost smiling at the sea's antics.
The touch of Stede's broad hands, the warm firm press of his thigh against Ed's groin—that storm made even him falter.

Summary
Where did Luke get his clothes for the Award Ceremony after the Battle of Yavin? There's no way he brought all that stuff from Tatooine.
Here's how that outfit came together. And how friendship, recycling, and remembrance all played a role.

Summary
Stede loves trashy reality TV; Ed, not so much.
There's something else Ed loves, though.
