    Summary

    Going into shed on a guls-forsaken starbase with a lot of strange Federaji and very few options was never going to be pleasant, Garak knew. But it might not have been quite so bad if Julian hadn't completely forgotten it was coming and left a week ago on the Defiant. Garak, of course, hadn't said a word. It was wartime, after all. There was nothing to be done.

    And yet, he couldn’t help but see it as one more sign that Julian was slipping away from him.

    Summary

    "Was there anything that Stede Bonnet couldn't do? He gave importance to everything. Made everything meaningful. Made life less dull.

    And again Ed thought that this was the way life ought to be: stars above him, ocean below him, Stede beside him. His guide, his freedom, and his heart. What more could a man need?

    At a certain point, Ed stopped looking to the sky, shifting to watch Stede with wonderment instead, rapt in the passionate way he wove his tales, painting the sky into a storied mural. And Ed thought he would be content to be this way with him forever. Even though the dinghy was too small to lay comfortably in, and the hard wood hurt his back, and he really would have killed for a pillow that wasn't a lumpy sack of oranges."

    ***
    In which Stede goes to Ed on the dock, but doesn't immediately tell him what happened, and Ed starts freaking the fuck out about it.
    Two middle-aged gay pirates have to figure out how to actually communicate with one another and reckon with their pasts at the same time.

    Summary

    He gives it a few days, watching the golden hairs grow on Stede’s face, and watching Stede frown and scratch his chin more often. But Stede doesn’t act any different. There’s no secret plans Ed can detect.

    Ed confronts Stede over it one afternoon in Stede’s quarters. He’s given the matter a lot of thought, and he’s considered how best to bring it up. Stede is a gentleman, so Ed will broach the subject delicately.

    “What the fuck are you doing with your face?”

    Summary

    The problem here is, Richie is handsome and funny and charming and famous and has definitely slept with hotter and more adventurous people than a divorced middle-aged risk analyst who hasn’t touched another guy’s dick since college.

    Or: Eddie takes Richie on a date and makes some unfounded assumptions.
