Summary
She left in a hurry, but moments later, she came back. “Colin?”
“Did you forget something, my love?”
Penelope beamed at him. “I love you.”
Colin was not sure he could grin more if he tried. “I love you too.”
She rushed off again, and he could still feel the butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Truly, he would never tire of hearing Penelope say that she loved him. It was the greatest fact he had ever known.
He noticed her journal remained open on her desk, and he went to pick it up, when a sentence caught his eye.
‘Colin thinks I have entrapped him, and I am not sure I have ever felt pain like this.’
In which, Colin reads Penelope's journal, and learns what was going through her head during their fallout.
Written for Polin Week Day One: Angst or Hurt/Comfort

Summary
“Pen! Colin!” Her cousin’s voice rang out. Penelope turned to see Marina making her way towards them, a guy- George, she assumed, that was the only other name she’d ever heard Marina say when it came to work- close behind. Once they’d made their way through the crowd, Marina hugged Colin and then threw an arm around her. “You two have met already! Great! How did that happen?”
Colin looked at her with a little amused smirk that Penelope could confidently say right now would be the death of her. “Oh, you’re going to love this story, right, Pen?”
The use of the nickname almost startled her. She usually hated it when people called her Pen when they barely knew her; it felt like a level of familiarity that they didn’t have. But with Colin, she couldn’t bring herself to mind too much. Penelope smiled to mask her internal meltdown. It wasn’t like she didn’t already know, but this was most definitely Marina’s work crush Colin.
The same Colin she was maddeningly attracted to.
Fuck.
Penelope goes to a work party with Marina, looking forward to meeting this her work crush that she can't stop talking about, she doesn't expect to fall for him too.

Summary
Was there a plan here? Did Stede think he never wanted to fuck again? Because Ed definitely wanted to fuck again. Like, a lot.
And now they were here, at the inn, alone. The Revenge had sailed off into a buttery marmalade sunset with the whole crew, so it was just the two of them (and assorted small animals in varying stages of decomposition) in their perfect, partially collapsed new home.
Ed was trying very hard not to think of it as a wedding night.
Especially since it wasn’t one.
Like, at all. They were not married. Not even close! And Stede knew pirate marriages existed—between all mix of genders. They’d just been to one. So if he wanted to be gay pirate married to Ed, he’d have said something.
**
It's Ed and Stede's first night at the inn together, and as usual Ed is feeling super normal about it.

Summary
Bubbles shielded Ed’s modesty, a dense carpet of them covering the surface of the water so that all Stede could see was his face, the silver mass of his hair piled messily, fetchingly atop his head, and—just above the cloud line, peeking in and out of view—the slope of his bare shoulders, the suggestion of a clavicle. A smear of bubblebath clung to his jaw. A stray lock of hair, damp with steam, stuck to the side of his neck.
The sheer eroticism of the image nearly sent Stede to his knees; more devastating, perhaps, than if Ed had stood before him completely bare.
*
Ed's wearing the sack, and the bell. He's doing his best to make himself useful, to win back the crew's trust. He's just maybe not doing such a great job taking care of himself in the process, but luckily Stede has a solution: time for a bubble bath.

Summary
Stede's abandoned his old life to work his way back to Ed's side, and he's trying hard to overcome his deficiencies along the way. The one thing he hasn't gained experience in is sex. With Jackie and the crew, he hatches a plan to set up a glory hole where he can anonymously gain that experience to be ready for Ed when they meet again.
Ed's suffering through his kraken era when he learns about the fancy man glory hole at Jackie'z. Can't hurt to try it once, right? And again, and again, while he waits for Stede to come back to him, and his feelings about it all evolve...
