Podfic of "Barrier" by caladria by happydaiz_pod (1happydaiz)

Summary
And it's not until they're leaving, an hour later than Stede thought he would be, talked out and yet with so much more to say, and they both grab their coats and they both stand in the street, that he thinks, oh no.
Because Ed is glancing down at Stede's lips, and he's rocking on his feet.
"So…" Ed starts. "I had a great time."
"Me too." That much is true. And now Ed is going to say something about the day not having to end just yet, or invite Stede back to his, or make a move, so Stede takes the reins. Steps forward, plants a dry kiss against the warmth of Ed's cheek, just above where his beard stops. "Safe journey home!" he says brightly, and turns on his heels.

Summary
Stede stares at Ed, whose expression is eager. “Why do you want to know all this?”
Ed shrugs and grins. “Stede, c’mon.” He raises his eyebrows. “Of course I wanna know how often you dreamed about penetrating Izzy with your sword.”
When Stede tells Ed and Izzy he's had dreams about killing Izzy, Ed doesn't react like Stede thought it would.
For some reason, Ed thinks the dream means Stede wants to have sex with Izzy.
Stede is less convinced, but agrees to give it some thought. -

Summary
When one left their wife and declared that they were gay, certain expectations tended to follow. Expectations that said person would get a boyfriend rather than show up to every party alone, for example.
So Stede had fibbed a little. For the last two months, he’d had an extremely handsome and kind boyfriend who was also extremely busy. The lie worked well, until he ran into Mary in the grocery store and accidentally said he was shopping with his boyfriend. Stede grabbed the first guy he saw by his leather-clad arm.
“I’ll buy your groceries for a month if you pretend to be my boyfriend,” Stede whispered in the guy's ear. He hauled the guy around to face Mary and Doug.
“What the fu—“ Grocery Store Guy started to say, but Stede stomped on his foot to shut him up.
(In which Stede needs a fake boyfriend, and Izzy gets dragged into the chaos)

Summary
After the events of Rolling in the Deep, Ed, Stede and Izzy try to find a balance in their relationship. Stede and Izzy still don't agree on everything, but as long as Edward is happy, that's all that matters.
And Edward is happy. He's got the men he loves, and Blackbeard's reputation to keep them all safe. Never mind the nightmares he's been having, of a monster lurking beneath the waves. Never mind the days when he feels like he can't take the pressure anymore. And never mind the voice in the back of his head, telling him that the people he loves might be better off without him.
Tie it all to the anchor. Let it sink into the dark.

Summary
Stede’s on the sofa, bag of frozen peas wrapped in a dish towel placed on his ankle, cold half drunk cup of tea and macaron-less plate on the coffee table, used tissues scattered everywhere. He wants to cry at how pathetic the scene looks, how pathetic he is, but he holds it together. He’s not going to cry over something so minor. It’s his own stupid fault he’s in this situation anyway.

Together they embark on a journey to save Izzy's life. The journey will introduce them to innkeepers and bandits, bounty hunters and royals, Fae beings of the other-world and the ghosts of each other's pasts. It will take them through forests and cities, mountains and crossroads, to the ancient haunts of the Mage King himself.

“Don’t be a hater, man. This was hot shit.”

“T’was I!” Stede says, dramatically. He does a little spin for effect— validated in the way Ed’s eyes go all wolfish. “The gentleman lover!"
