    Summary

    Stede took a deep breath and steadied himself. He counted a few more deep breaths, eyes closed, to calm his speeding heart and resumed his pacing along the dock. There was a dinghy moored at the end, a thin rope keeping it tied to the planks. The waves gently knocked it against the wooden post, the sound burying its way into Stede’s brain.

    What if a moment could change the course of your life forever? What if Stede had been away from his bunk when a drunken Admiral Chauncey Badminton had snuck into the dormitory with a loaded gun? What if Stede had left the privateering academy in a dinghy rowed by Edward Teach?

    Summary

    Ed might dress like a goth leather daddy, but that doesn't mean he can't have fourteen plushies in his bed and that definitely doesn't mean you can make fun of him for them.
    Please?

    Summary

    Ed’s used to visitors, though the novelty of his home has worn off in the last eighteen months or so, the uninvited guests becoming fewer and further between. He’s used to curiosity, and questions he rarely feels like answering. He’s used to people forgetting that this is, in fact, his home, and not some out of the way tourist attraction.

    He’s used to strangers.

    But he’s starting to think that perhaps, not all his visitors need to stay strangers.

     

    or: Ed has a simple life. He has a self-built, off grid, mostly self-sustaining house tucked away in the middle of a forest. He has five chickens, and a partially feral cat. He lives alone, and he likes it that way. Until the appearance of an incredibly nosy, incredibly handsome stranger three weekends in a row has him questioning every self-imposed rule he's ever set himself.

    Summary

    Just a lil s2e6 ditty about warmth and orgasms and steering into storms, and, well, i needed something to do with my pre-finale nerves.

    “No, Ed, YOU’RE whim-prone. I planned for YEARS to get on this boat and leave my home, I searched for you for MONTHS to make this right. My whims, they’re about coats, and, and silly treasure hunts. Yours are about PEOPLE, Ed, about lives, yours are about my fucking heart! I was trying to, to spare your feelings, and maybe it’s time we both stopped doing that.”

    Podfic available, thanks from my whole heart to SD_Ryan. Listen here.
