Summary
"What's on your mind, Stede?"
"It's just… well, it's rather hard to believe, isn't it?" Stede says.
"What, that Thomas and Maria are snogging already after he left her behind? It's a romance novel, Stede. It's not supposed to be realistic. You've gotta suspend your disbelief a bit, man."
"No, it's not that. It's just… Kissing. All of the romance novels make it out to be this huge, world-changing, earth-shattering experience. And it's just a bit silly, is all."
Ed swallows. "I dunno. It can feel really nice, y'know. With the right person."
Or, Stede confesses that he's never really seen the appeal of kissing before. What is a good co-captain to do but offer his own lips for the taking?

Summary
If you wanted, I could marry you instead.
It's 2004, and Edward Teach just offered to marry his best friend to save Stede from the marriage his parents were planning to some girl he barely knew. They've run away, tied the knot at city hall, and now they find themselves in some tiny town by the sea that no one's ever heard of.
Two decades later, Ed will be one of the most famous people in the world, and they won't have spoken in years, but for now they're just kids: with no money, no place to live, and no idea what they're doing.
Also Ed's painfully in love with his best friend, but they don't talk about that.

Summary
On a quiet stretch between raids, Ed and Stede explore the contents of the auxiliary wardrobe together.
When Stede finds himself with a "gentleman's predicament", Ed finally finds the courage to close the distance between them.
That's correct, folks — this is co-captains era smut in the year of our lord 2025.

Summary
In Ed's experience, there's nothing quite so effective at snuffing out a crush than the disappointment of a mediocre roll in the hay.
So, Ed has a plan: One quick fuck to get this crush on Stede out of his system.
It's a good plan. Solid, simple, and definitely, one hundred per cent foolproof.
Right?
