  1. Summary

    After believing Stede to be dead from a jaguar attack, Ed is thrust into an incredibly fragile emotional state when he sees that Stede is in fact alive and well and here to reconcile. An exploration of Ed's POV and his ability to feel every emotion simultaneously - his struggles with being unworthy of Stede's love, worrying Stede will leave him again, and his attempts to be intimate with Stede despite dealing with this internal turmoil. First fic is their non-explicit bittersweet reunion, second fic is their explicit forays into intimacy and first steps towards Ed's healing (through sex). Third fic is Ed setting boundaries for himself, with Stede’s guidance and encouragement, so they can be comfortable being physically intimate again.

    Summary

    Every hobbit knows that dwarves are voracious lovers. So Bilbo can only assume that Thorin has just been waiting for the opportune time to thoroughly ravage his burglar, who is by no means inexperienced himself.

    This would be news to Thorin, of course, since dwarves don't even feel desire until they fall in love.

    This leads to a slight misunderstanding.

    Summary

    “What was it, James, all those men before did that didn’t please you?” Francis asks quietly, a menacing gleam of certainty crystallising in his gaze, and James feels his stomach drop at the warm, queasy sense that some trap has been laid that he’s been far too foolish to see. “Or, rather," Francis whispers, "what did they fail to do? Tell me, so that I may not repeat their mistakes.”

    James has a secret, and Francis has a way of seeing far too much.

    Summary

    “Motherfucker,” Ed breathes. “It actually works.”

    “The shopkeeper said it did!” Stede exclaims. “I don’t know why everyone always thinks I’m crazy.”

    Izzy swallows some truth potion. It's funny until it's not.

    Summary

    Normally, they make love like a gentle sea, Stede taking Ed with his soft care and kind hands holding him close. But sometimes, after raids, Ed feels taut with the need to love with bites and bruises and fuck his co-captain into oblivion. And he’s terrified of it.

    Or, Ed does some sexual healing, and finds Stede is an enthusiastic partner. Because sex can be therapy too, goddammit.
