Summary
“I definitely didn’t die?” he asks.
Edward presses two (long, slender, warm, tattooed) fingers to his pulse and says, “Nope. You feel good to me.”
You feel good to me.
Jesus Christ.
Stede almost faints again.
“Stede Bonnet?”
Edward’s fingers fall away, and Stede’s neck feels cold without them, his lifeline gone. The doctor. Yes, of course. He forgot for a second that you feel good to me was not, in fact, his prognosis.
(or: five times Ed and Stede cross paths in the GP waiting room and one time they don't)

Summary
The leather used to be like armour. Protection against a world out to fucking get him when his own skin felt far too softly vulnerable to leave so delicate and exposed. He relished in everything it stood for back then. Found euphoria in the hyper-masculine status it brought him, and the power that came with it. Willingly let it consume him until it became his whole world, because the one beyond the doors of the bars was never any better.
He built himself a reputation. Blackbeard, the leather daddy Dom.
As Blackbeard, the world could never harm him. As Blackbeard, his own dysphoria could never touch him. As Blackbeard, he knew he was safe.
It’s still true, all these years later, but his leathers are worn with age just like the rest of him, and Ed is so tired of playing pretend.
