Summary
“You know I’d be perfectly glad to give you a crack at it, Ed. I’d…it’s always me. And of course, I thoroughly enjoy a…a good round of cards. But if you’d like a turn, I–I think I’d actually rather enjoy giving you the reins for once.”
And why the fuck does his voice sound so pitchy and anxious and tight?
It’s…it’s fucking solitaire.
“Just don’t think I’ll be as good at it as you, love,” Ed murmurs truthfully.
“I think–” Stede confesses quietly. “I think you’d be very good, if you were willing to give it a shot. Methodical. Careful. Gentle.”
Ed frowns. He tilts his head to try and catch Stede’s gaze, but Stede quickly looks away.
“Do you,” Ed begins, hesitant and feeling strangely wrongfooted, like there’s a conversation happening in Stede’s head that he isn’t a part of. “Do you need to be particularly gentle with playing cards?”
(OR: Stede is not talking about solitaire. A post-canon romp about quality time, communication, sex, and being brave enough to ask for the things you want.)

Summary
He drives to the airport with an unshakeable urge to pull over and turn around. He smokes four cigarettes in a row before he boards the plane, then chews an entire pack of gum on the flight to try and cover the worst of the smell.
He exits the airport half-hoping that Shane has chickened out of the whole thing. Then he spots him, tapping his fingers against the steering wheel in the most boring suburban dad car Ilya has ever had the misfortune of laying his eyes on, and he’s so happy to see him that his legs feel unsteady beneath his weight.
--
Or, the cottage, Ilya's version: an extended ep 6 featuring my take on what happened in the gaps we didn't see.

Stede has spent his whole life empty. Ed fills him so well.
Though, he never quite expected it to be so literal.

Summary
It's hot. It’s so fucking hot. Ed’s never known it to be so hot. Without the benefit of the sharp winds over the water, it’s still, stagnant, muggy and oppressive and endless. But he can cope with the heat.
What he can’t cope with is Stede, lifting his arms to wield his axe, his biceps flexing, and showing off two dark damp patches on the fabric of his shirt that grow and grow as the sun gets higher in the sky. He gulps down water, and Ed watches drops of sweat trickle over his temple and curl under his jaw, and he’s transfixed by it.
*
Or: There’s a heatwave, Stede is very sweaty, and Ed is very into it.

Summary
Only three knives are stuck into the big settee, but the many rips and tears in its lovely brocade indicate quite a few previous stabbings. Stede sighs again as he lifts it up from its back onto all four legs, then pulls the third knife out of the center of the cushion. He pats the spot where the stuffing bursts out from the torn upholstery.
Stede finds things torn open and damaged, and does his best to fix them up. The couch or Ed's heart? Yes.

Summary
“I was going to make tomato toasts,” he says, hearing the whine in his voice over the driving rain. “The loaves you baked yesterday would be perfect.”
Ed laughs and Stede turns, about to get snappy about Ed laughing at his distress, but... oh.
Ed is stretched out on their bed, nothing but his robe on, barely draped around him. It’s the blush-pink one, a warm, sweet color that makes Stede think of spun sugar and dripping fruit juice, and Ed’s hair is an unruly mess around his head, and his legs are long and muscular and hairy and perfect, and he’s on his side, cheek on his fist, one leg bent up. He looks decadent, indulgent, like a dessert, and Stede, suddenly, is much less concerned with the change in plans.
Inspired by Kuuttamo's incredible comic! Credit for a chunk of the dialogue goes to them and also for the way this posessed my brain.

Summary
Ed has been thinking about Calypso's Birthday since they arrived at the inn, specifically about Stede shoving him up against a wall - the strength of his arms, the look in his eyes. Maybe it's finally time to ask for a repeat performance.

Summary
Stede rises with the sun.
It’s going to be a beautiful day. He can tell, with the sun radiating through the windows and warming their already sleepwarm bed. They’ll do something fun, go to market and shop around or down to the ocean to take a dip. They’ll spend time together. They’ll talk. They always talk.

Summary
Blackbeard is untouchable.
Not impervious to harm, nah he’s got the scars to prove that. He’s been stabbed and cut and burned and whipped and hit, less so these days, but it happens.
No, what it is, is that no one wants to touch Blackbeard.

Summary
Can we take it slow? Ed had asked, and he’d meant it.
I think last night was a mistake, he'd said, and at the time he meant that too.
But he didn't mean let's take it slow forever and he didn't mean all sex is a mistake and he definitely didn't mean to find himself alone with Stede in their rickety soon-to-be-inn, sleeping in his arms every night and not getting laid.It's driving him out of his mind. And he intends to make that very much Stede's problem.

Summary
Loudly did the muses sing of the sea god Edward and his mortal lover, Stede.
A little too loudly, if Ed did say so himself. Bloody things didn't give him a moment's peace these days. Just wailing on about the doomed tragic lovers who dared to attempt to trick the gods and were punished for their efforts. As if he didn't already know that. As if he weren't reminded every damn day. As if it weren't punishment enough to be cursed to feel his feet move to this same fucking bar every single night, hear his voice order a whiskey neat, and see the most beautiful bartender smile back at him as he slid him his drink and not have a fucking clue who he was despite the fact they once risked everything to be with each other.

Summary
“That’s…you’re fucking with me,” Ed insists, completely shell-shocked. “That’s not the end.”
“It is,” Stede murmurs apologetically.
“That…that can’t be the end.”
“I’m sorry, Ed,” Stede says, and he really does sound sorry, which only solidifies the cold, leaden feeling in Ed’s gut. “That’s all there is. That’s the end.”
(OR: Stede tells Ed a bedtime story. Ed doesn't cope well with things ending before they're supposed to. A bittersweet final farewell to our hopes of a season 3, and a hopeful message to artists and storytellers in need of a pick-me-up. Love you xx)

“You don’t even know what it is.”
“Yeah, nah, not a clue–”
“Honestly, Edward, I just can’t believe you would suggest something so horrible for our home. After everything I do to make it nice!”
He stares at Ed. Hands on his hips. Huffs, shifting the curl that hangs artfully over his forehead.
Ohhhh. Ed picks up what he’s putting down.
Homestore argument is so fucking on. Fuck yeah.
(or: Ed and Stede go out to buy a toaster, pretend to argue like a married couple and then have sex about it)
