Summary
“I wanna stay,” he slurs, voice just on the cusp of unintelligible. His grip on Stede’s other hand tightens, and his eyes swirl wildly. “I don’t wanna go back, don’t let me go back, Stede–”
“Go back? Ed, what do you mean?”
“Don’t wanna…I wanna stay. Please. Lemme stay. Keep me…here, keep me–jus’ keep me, ‘kay?”
(OR: After the gravy basket, Ed is terrified of falling asleep. It's a fear that stays close by in the weeks that follow. A series of missing scenes from S2, BIG TIME angst with a happy, smutty ending. Because Ed deserves to be happy)

Or, five times Stede couldn't say 'I love you' and one time he could.

Summary
Stede Bonnet is on a mission - prove himself useful and avoid getting fired and cut off from his family wealth. All he has to do is convince a crew employed by his father’s company that their woodland construction site is not being terrorised by a supernatural entity.
What could possibly go wrong? It’s not like Stede believes in ghosts or demons or curses, so he has nothing to fear.
However, seeing is believing, just as they say. As it turns out, there's merit to the crew's panicked reports, and Stede is about to learn that fear will be the last thing on his mind when he discovers the nature of what's really lurking in the woods.

Summary
“Evening!” the slighter one calls out and pushes back his red hood. It’s a white man, smiling cheerfully, and the moonlight makes his hair shine. Ed’s not great at estimating a human’s age, but the man seems to be an adult in his forties. “I’m Stede, and this is my companion Oluwande. And with whom might I have the pleasure?”
Ed blinks, looking at Jim before looking up at the blond man on horseback. His companion swears at him but pushes back his hood as well. He’s wearing an orange hat and his skin is dark. He eyes Jim and Ed nervously, but he also keeps glancing at Stede. “Sorry, you’re asking us to introduce ourselves?” He and Jim are obviously wolves. Ed’s hair might be long and curly, but he knows his ears stick out just as Jim’s, and he’s made no effort to hide his tail. And humans might not have a wolf’s keen sight, but they must’ve noticed the yellow eyes.
“Yes.” Stede bats Oluwande’s hand away as the other man whispers something. “Olu, it’s only good manners! I lured them over for a reason!”

Summary
When the door slams open again, Stede’s standing in the doorway. The rival captain’s body is slumped in the hallway just behind him, Stede’s dagger still buried to the hilt in his throat, his blood marking up the sleeve of Stede’s white shirt.
Ed has just enough time to feel relief before Stede’s expression flickers to horror and oh.
Oh, Stede.
“I’m okay,” Ed says immediately. “It’s okay. I promise, everything’s fine, I’m fine—”
“Ed,” Stede croaks, already halfway to wrecked, and guilt crashes over Ed like a wave.
-
It’s not Ed’s first time getting kidnapped and tortured. However, it is Stede’s first time rescuing him in the aftermath.
It’s unexplored territory for them both.

Summary
“Fucking—shit!” Ed yells, flinching away from the little monster with enough force that he nearly capsizes the rickety old rowboat.
Water splashes, the dinghy’s nose flies into the air, and Ed hastily grabs the gunwale and lurches his weight forward to keep the damn thing upright. By the time he’s done that and the boat’s settled back to calm, he’s lost track of the fucking spider.

Ed goes out fishing only to get stuck on his dinghy with a spider.

Summary
What if Ed had never made it back to the ship after that night? What if he'd been alone in the aftermath of Stede's abandonment, forced to fight for survival and find a reason to live instead of facing the crew and the Kraken?
A wicked storm wrecks Ed on a desert Island. Marooned and heartbroken, he makes a place for himself there, and susses who he wants to be with no Blackbeard or Stede or anyone else to influence him. Stede finds him there, brimming with startling declarations, but Ed is injured upon his arrival. Stede helps him to heal, but Ed has to learn how to trust again before they can truly be together.

Summary
When they get back to the ship, Stede asks Ed to wait in the dinghy and climbs up the ladder to ask the crew if Ed can stay. Ed waits. He hadn’t really expected to get this far anyways. He certainly hadn’t expected Stede to follow him off the ship, or invite him back, or talk to the crew on his behalf. In between the gentle slap of the waves against the hull of the ship, he can hear that conversation happening above him, a quiet muttering that sits just on the edge of his hearing.
He should probably care about what they’re saying, should probably hoist himself up the ladder a bit to suss out who’s in favor and who’s against, determine what kind of situation he’s facing by climbing right back on board with the crew that had just mutinied against him, calculate his odds of surviving through the night. He should probably do all of that.
It sounds exhausting.
Ed gets back on the Revenge and everything that's happened in the last few days catches up to him. Stede does his best to help him through it.

Summary
Being in close quarters with Stede after everything — the heartbreak and the crying and the sobbing and the throwing up from sobbing and the falling asleep sobbing and the waking up sobbing… and then the reconciliation, all of it — is actually pretty fuckin’ nice. Everything feels perfect even when it isn’t. The scarcity of food makes everything taste even better, the straw mattress is a nightmare but it feels like a dream when he’s lying next to Stede. Manual labor feels exciting — he’s fallen off the roof twice. Stede has fallen off more. Ed caught him once, and the combined weight of them and the force of the fall sprained both of Ed’s ankles.
Ed loves it, loves him.
