    Summary

    Ed shouldered open the door to Jackie’z. Did his habitual, instinctive scan of the room—searching for potential threats.
    And immediately found one.

    Ed froze. Lips parted. A roaring in his ears, like the ocean. Purple spots crowded his vision and his mouth flooded with saliva and for one brief, terrifying moment he thought he might do something super embarrassing, like throw up or faint or throw up and then faint.

    Because standing there at the host’s podium was the actual last man on earth that Ed had expected to run into tonight.

    Diverges from canon somewhere during Impossible Birds. The Revenge makes port, and Ed goes looking for a drink at Jackie'z. He's a bit surprised to find out who's currently serving on her waitstaff.

    Summary

    Stede felt fizzy and golden, like a champagne bottle someone had shaken up. Full of wild, unfamiliar urges. He wanted to lie down on top of Ed, smother him with the full press of his body weight. He wanted to twist the length of his hair into a rope and then bite down on it like a horse’s bit. He wanted to duck his nose into Ed’s armpit and spend the rest of his life only breathing that specific, delicious musk straight from the source. He wanted to shrink down to the size of beetle and crawl inside Ed’s bellybutton. He wanted to bite the very tip of Ed’s perfect, beautiful nose.

    Maybe they should skip Jackie’z, just go straight back to the ship? Back to bed. Stede could feel his face heating, just thinking about it—a reflexive sort of shame. But there was nothing to be ashamed of, was there? He was allowed to have these sort of thoughts about Ed—he’d probably encourage it!

    The morning after Calypso's Birthday, Ed and Stede walk to Spanish Jackie'z to grab that drink, and Stede briefly considers making better choices.

    Summary

    The ritual went like this: Days 0 - 6 following a break up, Ed was allowed to mope in a blanket fort or other cozy, bed-rotting receptacle of his choosing. He could eat junk food and watch sad movies and refuse to shower.

    But, and this was imperative: he had to exit the blanket fort by Day 7. If he allowed himself to rot any longer than six days—he’d learned from hard experience—mourning would quickly morph into self-loathing and a full depressive episode that might last months.

    So, on Day 7, he would exit the fort. Put on his sluttiest outfit. And find someone to fuck.

    Blank slate. Getting over someone by getting under someone else. Tale as old as time.

    **

    Edward Teach is an expert at breakups—he should be, he's gone through enough of them over the years. He has a whole ritual for getting over someone. But nothing could have prepared him for Stede Bonnet.

    Summary

    There’s a bit of concern when he walks in on Iggy basically like…up in Edward’s face, a piece of paper shoved under his nose. He’s a little more concerned when Iggy snarls out, “This is Blackbeard! Not some namby pamby in a silk dressing gown pining for his—”

    “Heyyyyyy,” Lucius says awkwardly. Two sets of eyes turn to him, one furious, the other…scared? Is Edward scared of fucking Iggy? Lucius clears his throat, looking between the two of them. Iggy’s got one hand clenched in Edward’s robe near his throat and Edward looks…frozen. “So…this is a weird vibe.”

    -

    What if Lucius had walked in on the "I should have let the English kill you" scene?
