Summary
Ed is going to be the death of Stede.
Death by thirst traps, what a way to go. If he had to choose a way to die, that would be more desirable than most, but Stede intends on spending the rest of his life with Ed, so he’d rather not pass away any time soon. He can’t see himself building up any real immunity to Ed’s teasing though – how could he, when his boyfriend is that hot?
Ed decides to spend the day tormenting Stede into horny insanity. Stede just wants to come before he loses his goddamn mind.

Summary
Stede is out like a light as soon as he and Ed curl up in bed, sweaty and achy and content, but Ed’s taking a little longer to drift off. Even though he’s exhausted, he’s not in a rush to fall asleep. It’s nice to bask, just for a bit, in the heat of Stede’s body pressed flush against his front, in idly kissing the back of his neck and shoulders, in their hands firmly intertwined over Stede’s heart. The handcuff around Stede’s wrist suddenly pops open and Ed very carefully closes it again. They can take them off tomorrow.
Ed and Stede are handcuffed together at Pride. Ah well, guess they'll have to be stuck together forever now!

Summary
Edward Teach is a pop star about to embark on his latest tour when he develops vocal nodes. Stede Bonnet is the voice specialist who treats him. Sparks fly.
“Right. And could you please describe your singing voice to me? Or sing something you feel showcases your voice, if you feel comfortable. For my usual clientele, I’d suggest their go-to audition song, but I don’t get the sense that you do much auditioning.”
There’s a long pause during which Stede takes note of the guy’s eyes. Not a literal case note, that would be inappropriate. His eyes are large and brown and expressive, quicksand eyes. Eyes a person could get lost in. Right now, they’re slightly narrowed at Stede. He seems to decide something.
“Listen,” the client says. “I appreciate you not wanting to make it weird, but I promise I’m used to it.”
“Used to it?” Stede asks, and there go the eyes again. Stede has the oddest sense of being taken apart, exposed, like the recurring dream he has of walking through the halls of his secondary school without a single stitch of clothing on, down to the same vague, unsettling sense that it should be more awkward than it is.

Summary
“Come help me find an apothecary nearby,” Ed calls to Lamp, who’s still laying in front of the door. Ed pulls up the Conjure browser on his phone and searches for apothecaries in his area. There are a dozen or so results that pop up by the time Lamp has reluctantly left his post by the front door and flopped down next to Ed on the couch, pushing his head under Ed’s arm so he can look at the search results.
One of them jumps out immediately: “Stede’s Stupendous Shop of Spellcasting Sundries,” Ed reads aloud. What the fuck is that name? It’s fascinating and hilarious. Ed needs to go there immediately. He looks up reviews for the shop, and they’re either 5 stars or 1 star, nothing in between. He checks one of the 1-star reviews — left by someone supposedly named Calico Jack, which is a weird name — and it starts with, “There’s this angry chicken, right,” and Ed stops reading there because that sounds like the coolest fucking thing he’s ever heard, and he wants to experience it for himself.
~
Stede's a lonely apothecary owner looking for love. Ed's a jaded potions master looking for his place in the world. This is how they find what they're looking for in each other.
