Summary
If death could be achieved through heartbreak, he was surely dying now. He supposed he was; deserved it even. He realized too late that he could never have had something so wonderful as Stede Bonnet in his life; with him. Stede had probably realized it too and that was why he had effectively vanished. Now Stede was dead. Gone forever. No explanation. Just... mauled, by a… jungle… cat.

Blackbeard hadn’t been lying when he'd said he didn’t feel fear. Fear was about having something to lose, and Blackbeard always wins.

Summary
“Well, that’s that, then. I know he’s your friend, Ed, but he was a toxic influence on the crew. And on you as well,” Stede declared.
Something about those words stung Ed just a little. He wasn’t not-not himself with Jack. It was just that being around him seemed to bring out the part of him that enjoyed giving and receiving pain. Cut your finger and you’ll forget about your chronic headache, if only for a little while.
But slowly, Stede was showing him that a moment of warmth and connection could be just as distracting.
------
This story begins assuming Calico Jack left the Revenge, Ed stayed, and there was no betrayal. How would the slow burn of Ed and Stede's relationship have carried on? How long would it take for them to realize their feelings for each other in the absence of life-changing events?Some relationship angst, some sweet, soft moments, some jealousy, and some action as well!
Includes two original characters: an old friend of Stede's named Declan (headcannoned to Jemaine Clement) and Captain Robert Greaves (Idris Elba), an old colleague of Ed's. Declan brings the jealousy. Greaves brings the ghosts of Ed's past.
