    Summary

    The boots land heavy on the floor in Stede’s peripheral vision.

    They’re in awful shape, really quite embarrassing. Watermarks leave unsightly stains on the uppers and they’re scuffed up all over, and the silver hardware is so tarnished it’s almost as black as the leather. The right boot has a quarter-inch gouge so deep that Stede can’t begin to imagine how it got there, with only a half-hearted attempt made to treat it by rubbing in a little polish.

    Such poorly-maintained leather in a place like Blackbeard’s is a rare thing; it’s almost a novelty, how frankly shitty they look.

    *

    Or: Stede Bonnet, the world’s bitchiest bootblack, is absolutely not going to waste his time on Ed's shitty boots or his shitty attitude, thank you very much. Nope. Definitely not.

    Summary

    Honestly, fuck Jack. Ed could do so much better than fuckin' "Calico" Jack. Just because he'd been in a funk for a few years that didn't mean... Well, Ed knew he was attractive. He could be sexy. He could. And he could pull someone so completely opposite to Jack they might as well be from different planets.

    Enter the gorgeous posh blond bloke at the end of the bar.

    Oh, he would do nicely.

    ***

    Ed and Stede have the worst exes in the world, but with a little bit of fuckery and a fabricated relationship (that's maybe getting a bit too real), they can help each other get them off their backs.

    But what happens when their attraction to each other grows, and yet they’ve only agreed to touch each other when other people are around?

    Summary

    "You know, Father," he says, voice much steadier than he feels, "I imagine in your profession you spend a lot of time on your knees." He pauses on the last button, close to his throat, and makes sure the priest's eyes are on his. "Want me to show you what other kinds of worship you can do on your knees?"

    ---
    Ed attends costume night at Spanish Jackie'z and meets a beautiful man dressed as a priest. Obviously, he has to have a taste of him ASAP. Hopefully he's not bothered by the tinkling bell on Ed's kitten collar, as Ed takes him down his throat...

    Summary

    “I could help you, you know,” says Ed. “Like, the reinventing yourself bit. Or figuring it out.”

    Hope hops on its feet, attempting takeoff. “You would?”

    “‘Course I would, mate. You’re my best friend.”

    ----

    Recently divorced, Stede isn't sure where to start on the whole "getting himself out there" thing. Ed offers to help, so they write out a list of Stede’s goals. The only problem? They both may be just slightly in love with each other. They just don't know it yet.
