Summary
"Do the voice," she hears him ask.
"Man, oh man," Jim says. It's squeaky. It's high. It's not anything Archie's ever heard from them. "Do I wish I was a real person."
And Archie looks up at that, because they're laughing. Not a hysterical laugh. Not the kind that you give when you're pissed out of your skull and you're trying to forget the horrors.
It feels real.
There isn't much in this fucking life that feels real.

Summary
He'd not said anything, when they went for lunch in the museum cafe. When Izzy had looked through the sandwiches on display, discarding one after the other. Hummus in that one, horrible squishy texture against the bread. Tomato against lettuce in that one, sliminess against flaccid, stringy green.
"What about the ham and cheese?" Bonnet suggests. He's trying to be helpful, Izzy knows. It doesn't make it better. It just makes his stomach clench uncomfortably when he sees the mayonnaise dressing.
Sometimes he's okay with mayonnaise. Sometimes he can stomach it, ignore the weird tang of it as it slides across his tongue and sticks there with its aftertaste.
And sometimes he's not okay, but he'll go along with things so that Ed doesn't get mad at him, so that Stede doesn't hate him. He'll force things down his throat and keep quiet and just tolerate things, because he just has to tolerate things doesn't he?

Summary
He's perfect.
He's… off.
Not a lot. He still responds eagerly when Ed presses him against the wall every time they've been separated, laughing and protesting that he's only been grocery shopping even as he's fiddling with Ed's belt; he still twines his legs with Ed's every night as their kisses get heated and bodyweight settles over bodyweight. He still wakes up as Ed trails fingers up his thigh the morning afterwards, eager to have him before they part for work. Ed still never goes more than twelve hours without getting what he needs.
But still.
There's something. He stares into the middle distance, sometimes, as if deep in thought. He brushes Ed's prodding away with a casual dismissal.
And Ed doesn't know what that something is.

Summary
Now he's seen it, it's hard not to see it.
The hunch of the shoulders. The way that he's not looking directly into the sun. The way that he pauses, looks away. The way that now Roach thinks about it, he's looked like that since he came back with Stede.
When Blackbeard thinks no-one is looking, he puts his hand to his head, presses his fingers into his temple.
And it makes sense, after what's happened. After what his crew did to him. Blows to the head linger. Sometimes they go bad long after the injury.
Roach observes Blackbeard after the fact, and perhaps the healing begins

Summary
They fuck. They suck. Ed ruts against Stede's thigh, begging to come until Stede touches him.
It's perfect.
It's everything a relationship should be.
Ed is insatiable for Stede.
(Stede hates it)

Summary
Stede is laid up in bed after the swordfight with Izzy, and Ed is put out that Stede isn't well enough to, you know, put out. Luckily, Stede's a creative guy with a few ideas that might still work.

Summary
Ed moved to this small, nowhere bit of beach town to get away from his life and get back in touch with himself— whoever the fuck that is, anyways— so the absolute very last thing he ever expects to see in his local-turned-personal-favorite hole in the wall pub is his ex husband.
Or for said ex husband to come up to him to say hi, talk, and catch up.
Fuck.

Summary
Something moves in the water.
Startled, Stede leans over the railing and sees – ‘Ed!’ he exclaims. Ed, who must've been under water impossibly long but isn't even panting as he breaks the surface, apparently fully clothed save for his leather jacket, Ed who has blood smeared around his mouth, Ed with a nasty tear in his shirt.
*
Edward is a vampire. Well. Stede could get used to that.
