    Summary

    He gives it a few days, watching the golden hairs grow on Stede’s face, and watching Stede frown and scratch his chin more often. But Stede doesn’t act any different. There’s no secret plans Ed can detect.

    Ed confronts Stede over it one afternoon in Stede’s quarters. He’s given the matter a lot of thought, and he’s considered how best to bring it up. Stede is a gentleman, so Ed will broach the subject delicately.

    “What the fuck are you doing with your face?”

    “Embarrassed?” Ed says. “Well, first of all, trust me, you’ve got no reason to be. Second of all, it’s a fucking pirate ship. Everyone sees everyone’s dick eventually.”

    This is very sweet - just two oblivious pirate captains who have no idea how they feel, and feel it anyway 🩷

    This is one of my favourite stories in the fandom, without question. It's so complex and considered, and both Ed and Stede's stories are so full and layered. It's just brimming with romance and well-handled emotions. I just can't recommend it enough.

    I'm a year late to this story and I'm mad at myself about it. Chemistry off the charts, and beautifully written.
