'Cause Everybody's Gotta Find Somebody (That's The Point in Every Movie) by hecatesthirdface

Summary
Ed and Stede, close friends since meeting shortly after Stede’s divorce (5 years ago), are tired of looking for love. Stede’s convinced he’s not cut out for dating and relationships, even if it’s finally with men, and Ed has only ever had short-term relationships with no real love.
On New Year’s Eve, the two make a drunken pact: THIS is the year they’ll find love. If by the end of the year they haven't fallen in love with someone, they’ll marry each other, just to finally have a partner. No cowering. They vow to help each other find their “Mr. Right.”
But as the months go by, both start to wonder: has he been in front of me the whole time?

Summary
The snow might be good. For all the intruders who might come find them, at least he’d be able to see where they come from. The birds are mostly gone, but the chickadees are loud enough to give warning. Ed’s rehearsed the fake battle in his mind so many times he can see it as a near memory.
or: the thoughts that karma might catch up with ed and stede at the inn are suddenly too much for ed to bear.

'He knew it was coming, of course he knew. It was inevitable. Written in the stars, probably. He was just hoping it would never come, and it would prove that he's not a massive disappointment, a plague, an unlovable loser.'

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.

Summary
For the last few weeks, Ed's upstairs neighbour (and casual Grindr fuck buddy) Stede has appeared online at 10:05pm every Wednesday. Within minutes, they're connecting, but an hour and forty-five minutes later, every single time, Stede bolts like Cinderella.
The thing is, Ed's anything but casual about Stede right now; he's fallen head over heels, and he's determined to figure this guy out.

Summary
It’s Stede’s fault.
Ed only called him babe, and it was once, and besides which, Frenchie calls people babe all the time and he’s literally aro, so it doesn’t have to mean anything.
But then Stede leans over and says, with a wink “Sweetheart, I’m going to hit the bar, would you like anything?”
Sweetheart.
It's definitely Stede's fault.

“You’re so fuckin’ adequate, babe. Just because you’re feeling weak in a moment doesn’t mean that you are all of the time.”
“What if I am? What if I feel like this for the rest of my life?”
“You won’t. But if you were then I’d take care of you. And we could do whatever you wanted, whatever would make you feel a little better. Or we could rest.”
“You’d take care of me?” Stede asks.

Summary
Six months into being innkeepers/retiring, everything is super duper great. Ed's worked through a lot of his lingering issues, and Stede? Well, what issues could he have to work through? He's never suffered in his life. Not compared to Ed. Not compared to anyone. He's a spoiled little rich boy. So he has nothing to cry over or work through.

Summary
One day, over breakfast, their ankles intertwined beneath the table, Stede holds a forkful of hot fluffy pancake and sweet strawberry syrup out to Ed and says, “I have a confession.”
“Yeah?” Ed asks, around his mouthful of warm sugar. “What’s that?”
Stede hesitates, his thumb rubbing absently up the length of his fork.
Then, he tells Ed, not breaking their eye contact, his elbows on the table and framing his half-eaten breakfast, “Nobody ever told me they loved me before you.”
for ofmd fluffvember, day two: soft and "i have a confession."
