    Summary

    ...so you must like me for me

    His entire brain resets when the bartender laughs at his dumbass joke. Every laugh that he’s heard for the past god knows how long has felt like a sound effect on an everlasting ghost train. But this…this is like finally reaching the end of the tracks. Bright burst of sunlight, disorienting reality after cheap tricks in the smoke.

    “Make me another, would you?” Ed says, sliding his empty glass over the bar.

    Summary

    What else is there? Really? There’s no way to do more as Blackbeard. He’s at the top. The only way forward from here is… down.

    Should he go down? Just… let go? Try something new?

    Something new.

    Something… new.

    “Izzy.”

    “What now?”

    “I’m gonna get married.”

    “What?”

     

    or

    Ed is a famous rockstar who's tired of the grind and decides to marry the first person he meets. (loosely inspired by Wedding Daze, the movie)

    Summary

    “What the hell’s happened to you?” Stede demands. It’s his voice, in his body, and he almost seems living, and it’s— It has to be the last thing Ed ever sees. He has to die with him burned on the insides of his eyelids.

    Stede’s eyes are tracking over him, rising up to meet his eyes, locking with him. It feels so real. He can’t help the hysterical laugh that comes up and out of him, impossibly grateful for this last delusion.

    Without hesitating, he lurches forward, grabbing Stede and yanking him into his arms. Stede makes a confused noise of protest, briefly, but it fades instantly and his arms come up, too, wrapping around Ed without hesitation. He doesn’t smell the same; instead, he’s all salt and sweat and sun, baked into his skin. Ed buries his face in his hair, fingers clawing at the impossibly real feel of him, the hallucination made solid in his arms.

    “Thank fuck,” Ed says into his hair, voice breaking. “I didn’t want to die without seeing you one last time.”

    Summary

    “Hey. You're Lucius, right?” The voice sighed.
    “Someone else sound this charming?”
    “Lucius, you’re dead.”
    “Yeah. Yeah, I am dead. No thanks to you.”
    “I pushed you off the boat.”
    “Mmm - I was there. I know.”
    “Was there any pain?”

    Drunk and lonley and hiding in the auxiliry closet, Blackbeard has begun hearing voices. Well, a voice. He entertains it. Even tells it about some of the feelings he's been going through. What's the harm?
    And after all, he's got no one else to talk to.
