Summary
renting a lakeside cabin for an entire off-season to lick your wounds in private after a breakup should, in theory, be an entirely foolproof route to healing, and finding yourself, and all that other wellbeing bullshit.
it's not like the universe is going to drop the love of your life on your doorstep, right?

Summary
Stede brings his arm up so his cheek has something to rest on, and he breathes a little sharper as he resituates himself, and the entirety of Ed’s body feels like it’s floating with both the residual panic of before, and the overwhelming calm Stede has managed to conjure in this tiny bathroom now. And thank you doesn’t seem anywhere near big enough for what Stede has given him, and Ed’s not sure he’d be able to say it again without his voice breaking something awful, but he can try. He can sure as fuck try.
or: the art of fuckery, but slightly different.

Summary
He ducks under the ridge of the skull, unclips his bow, slips an arrow into the housing, and creeps around until he has a decent view of the trail. The stranger has slowed, staring up at the leviathan as they approach, hands on their hips. Ed steps out into view, raises his bow, and pauses.
The stranger, as unknown as he currently is, is cute.
Hylian, most likely. A little shorter than Ed, but broad looking under his tunic and cloak, pack sticking up over the top of his head, and visibly stuffed with god-knows-what. There’s a physical map sticking out from one of his pockets, and leaves in his hair, and he’s clearly not been gifted with powers of observance, because Ed’s been aiming a bow at him for the best part of two minutes, and he still hasn’t noticed.
And then, all at once, his gaze drops, and his eyes widen, and he all but screams.
“I’M FRIENDLY!”
or: what if Ed and Stede just happened to be citizens in the Kingdom of Hyrule? And what if they had a serendipitous meet cute at the Great Eldin Skeleton and then fell in love? Suspend your disbelief, because this is that fic.

Summary
Ed is a wonderful houseguest. He’s quiet, and he’s tidy, and he mostly keeps to himself. He gets up with the birds, leaves half a kettle of freshly boiled water for Stede every morning, and is out of the door before Stede’s even entertained the idea of getting out of bed.
He’s also ridiculously, devastatingly handsome.
And therein, lies Stede's problem.
or: Stede gets reluctantly strong armed into hosting a friend of a friend for a week when their original accomodation falls through. Which would have been fine, uneventful even, if his new houseguest hadn't turned out to be absolutely, one-hundred percent his type.

Summary
Stede and Ed's relationship ended months ago, but Stede hasn't been able to let it go. He's amazed when Ed agrees to participate in The Ex-House with him, sharing a tiny house on live television for six weeks to win the grand prize.
“Hello, Edward!” he says, forcing brightness. Remembers to look at his face - two seconds at a time is perfectly acceptable, look at the face, not directly into the eyes - tries to remember to turn his lips up into a friendly smile. Behind Ed, the door whooshes closed again and leaves them in silence.
Ed’s fully clad in leather, which is always a good look for him. Slight hint of eyeliner. One arm bare, showing off the winding snake tattooed into his skin. Beard trimmed short. Hair up, as well, properly styled. Small silver dagger earring dangling from one ear.
He looks unapproachably hot. The kind of guy that would skim over Stede without a second glance. The kind of guy that would sniff out Stede’s oddness in a second and push Stede down as a way to lift himself up. There are probably people watching on their televisions right now, wondering how the hell the two people in this room were ever together in the first place.

Summary
Usually, Stede seems to love the dirtiness that comes with their garden (Ed shouldn’t really call it theirs, since his only contribution is to stare at Stede’s flat ass in those fraying overalls, but Stede claims it’s motivating). Where Stede normally gets shivery and upset when faced with dirt, he’ll rummage in the soil with all the joy of an unsupervised three-year-old, albeit with significantly more judgment on how many inches should be between each trellis for the tomatoes. As long as it’s in service of their blossoming yard, Stede is down for any amount of grit and grime.
Except when he isn’t.

Summary
A knock sounds at Jim’s door.
“For fuck's sake –“ Jim groans, shoving themself up from the couch, phone pressed tight to their ear. If Lucius is back again to interrupt their Valentine’s day phone call with Ed, they’re going to kill him. “Shit, sorry, give me a second, Lucius is being a dickhead.”
Ed’s laughter rings through the phone speaker. “Take your time.”
Unlocking their door, Jim swings it open, already glaring at whoever’s on the other side, holding their phone against their chest so Ed won't hear them ream Lucius out. “Lucius, I swear to fucking god –“
Jim stops. Jim stares.
It isn’t Lucius at the door.
Ed Teach smiles at them with dark red lips, her own cellphone pressed to her ear. She winks, and Jim’s heart starts racing. “Hey, lover. Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Jim is expecting to spend Valentine's day alone, because you don't get a fancy dinner date when your sort-of-maybe-girlfriend is a famous rockstar who's on tour across the country. But a surprise visit from Ed turns the night into something beautiful.

Summary
This time, they aren’t surprised that Archie kisses them. They see it coming from a mile away, knew as soon as she pressed between their thighs and cupped their cheek with her hand that it would lead to this. They need it, and they think she needs it too. There’s been too much blood, too much rain, and they both need something solid and real.
Her mouth is warm against theirs, a shocking contrast to how fucking cold the rest of them is. They grip her leather-wrapped wrist tight, slide a hand into her soaking wet hair, and kiss back desperately.
They’re both gasping when they finally separate for air. Foreheads pressed together, warmth finally starting to build. Still wet and bloody but Christ, she’s right, they’re alive.
“Prove it,” Jim whispers, nose bumping hers, hand holding her as close as they can, “prove that – that we’re still fucking alive –“
Jim and Archie, after the storm.
