    Summary

    Sometimes it’s like Stede can read Ed’s thoughts—except for all the times when it’s painfully obvious that he can’t.

    Especially the whole, y’know, Ed being in love with him thing.

    Ed flicks some ash into the daffodil bed. “Thought you quit.”

    “I did.” Stede says, all eyelashes and dimples as he makes a “gimme” motion with two fingers.

    Ed sighs and hands over the pack and a lighter. He isn’t present as he does it, not really. He’s thinking about that other life, where Stede takes Ed’s cigarette from his lips without asking.

    Summary

    He's perfect.

    He's… off.

    Not a lot. He still responds eagerly when Ed presses him against the wall every time they've been separated, laughing and protesting that he's only been grocery shopping even as he's fiddling with Ed's belt; he still twines his legs with Ed's every night as their kisses get heated and bodyweight settles over bodyweight. He still wakes up as Ed trails fingers up his thigh the morning afterwards, eager to have him before they part for work. Ed still never goes more than twelve hours without getting what he needs.

    But still.

    There's something. He stares into the middle distance, sometimes, as if deep in thought. He brushes Ed's prodding away with a casual dismissal.

    And Ed doesn't know what that something is.

    Summary

    A crew conducts a daring raid on the ship of the Mad Wizard Low, rescuing a man who's lost his memories. As Stede adjusts to his new life onboard a pirate ship, fleeing from the wrath of the wizard and trying to avoid the navy of the Immortal King, he tries to piece together what happened to him.

    How long was he locked away? What did Mad Low want with him? And is he really just an average human mortal man?

    Haunted by a recurring dream of a beautiful man in a raven mask and the burning conviction someone he loves very much is out there, Stede searches for answers, and begins to suspect he may have had a role in a failed magical ritual that plunged the world into chaos and flooding—held only at bay by the mysterious Blackbeard.
