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
It was one of those little thoughts that popped into Ed's head unprompted every now and then. Like "What if I accidentally stabbed myself cutting this apple?" or "What if that pretty-looking cargo ship's bait in a trap?"
"What if I got bitched?"
It could happen. What even if Ed turned super easily and was begging for more and more in record time, his body betraying him faster than anyone had thought an alpha could be bitched? What if someone did that to him? Wouldn't that just be, like, the worst?

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
Alpha Ed Teach meets omega Stede Bonnet over a business proposal. He doesn't expect the power to go out all over the city and them to be trapped together in a small apartment, but suppressants linger in the body for long enough it shouldn't be a problem before the power comes back on.
The problem is that "shouldn't" isn't the same as "won't."
