Summary
Stede draws his attention back to the head massage, alternating pressure from the kind of bruising that’s enough to knead a migraine away, to gentle, delicate strokes through his hair. He grows almost meditative with it, forcing his eyes away from Ed’s face and simply enjoying the feeling of body heat and cool, damp-silk hair against his palms. Truthfully, he could do this for hours, rather than the usual three-to-five minutes that’s usually afforded to customers when they…
When…
It’s been longer than three-to-five minutes.
A quick glance at the clock reveals it’s been far, far longer than three-to-five minutes.
Stede doesn’t mind, obviously. And Ed doesn’t seem to be about to question it. But the snide little Lucius-like voice in the back of his mind points out that almost twenty fucking minutes is maybe a bit of an overkill.
Stede yanks his hands away from Ed’s hair like it’s covered in bleach.
“Okey-doke!” Stede manages, voice shrill and a little strangled.
From across the salon, the real Lucius snorts.
(OR: Stede's a hair stylist. Ed shows up for an appointment. And shows up. And shows up. And shows up...)

Summary
“You’ve never seen me box,” Tozer finally says.
Hickey looks baffled at that. For a second that’s satisfying enough to make Tozer feel like less of an idiot for saying it, but not entirely. “I have,” he says finally—a reflexive lie, which makes Tozer exhale, exasperated.
“You haven’t. I’d have seen you.”
After everything, Hickey and Tozer make it to Boston. Tozer sets his sights on the ring; Hickey has his eyes on the horizon.

Summary
Being in close quarters with Stede after everything — the heartbreak and the crying and the sobbing and the throwing up from sobbing and the falling asleep sobbing and the waking up sobbing… and then the reconciliation, all of it — is actually pretty fuckin’ nice. Everything feels perfect even when it isn’t. The scarcity of food makes everything taste even better, the straw mattress is a nightmare but it feels like a dream when he’s lying next to Stede. Manual labor feels exciting — he’s fallen off the roof twice. Stede has fallen off more. Ed caught him once, and the combined weight of them and the force of the fall sprained both of Ed’s ankles.
Ed loves it, loves him.

“A sex tape,” repeats Stede, cheeks growing darker, eyes sliding all across Ed’s body as he bites his lip and swallows hard. “Have you, um.”
“Done it before?” Ed finishes, fluttering his lashes. "Long time ago."

Summary
Viago gets dumped by the love of his afterlife, and everyone does their level (terrible) best to help him move on. Anton knows a thing or two about not getting the life you thought you were going to have. The camera crew are back to film every moment of it. More or less.
“Katherine left Viago a note.” Deacon says, turning to the camera and making a face as a moan of anguish echoes from behind the closed door of Viago’s chamber. “It seems that she met a younger man at the bingo hall, and they have- well, not ‘run’ away, because I do not think he can run with that metal frame thing he has to use to get about but- they have left.”
A crash comes from inside the room, and then more heartbroken crying.
Deacon winces. “Vladislav is comforting him.”
“We could just kill her if you like-” Vladislav can be heard saying.

Summary
“Where’s Izzy?” Young Ed asks when he turns around at the door.
Stede looks behind him, but sometime in the space he’s been walking after Young Ed, Izzy has vanished. “I… don’t know. Do you need him?”
“Nah,” Young Ed says, in a deceptively casual tone of voice.
This Ed’s just as bad at schooling his face though, and his expression suggests that he does, in fact, need Izzy.

Summary
“What if you don’t need you to be pissed at me anymore, but I… do? Need you to be. Or I can’t deserve to get used to this.”
Stede receives all that, and comes out still gazing at Ed with painful sincerity. “I think I understand needing some sort of… closure. But, you know I’d do practically anything for you Ed, but I’m just not angry with you anymore. When I first found out you’d marooned most of the crew, I could’ve worked up at least a sharp slap, but now…”
Stede trails off, which is good, because Ed can’t focus anymore. The phrase “sharp slap” has just run through him like lightning, sharp and resonant.
Speaking from pure animal longing, he blurts out, “Well, could you pretend?”
.....
Ed struggles with his guilt and trauma post-reunion, and asks Stede to play out a scene where the Gentleman Pirate captures Blackbeard and makes him pay. This centers around carefully negotiated CONSENSUAL NON-CONSENT. On a wider scale, it's about learning to process trauma within a safe relationship. BDSM scene's in the third chapter.

“Captain?” Izzy rasps. “Orders?”
“Hold me down,” Blackbeard commands casually, sliding so his long legs encircle Izzy and his ass presses flush against Izzy’s leather-bound bulge. “I wanna jack off while I’m drowning.”

Stede smiles to calm him. “May I?” he asks again, bringing a finger to stroke the pink ribbon, still in Ed’s grasp.
Ed nods and Stede lets it run across his forearm as he takes it. They both notice how Ed’s cock twitches. Stede smirks.
“You like the texture of it, don’t you?”
“Mhm,” Ed says, biting his lip as Stede runs it over his chest.

Okay, that’s kind of weird, Ed thinks, and before he can think better of it he’s clicked on the profile: BonnyLad, he/him, over 40 and- looking for someone’s penis in his porridge, apparently.
Ed takes a swig of his beer.
“Yeah,” he decides, opening the DMs with a jab of his thumb. “Why the fuck not.”

There's a solid pizza order on its way to their front door, a case and a half of beers with a bag of ice in the laundry sink, a bottle of rum stashed away in his room, and Jack is staring down the barrel of what's looking to be, by all measures, a pretty fucking great start to the weekend.
Or it would be, if Ed wasn't staring so forlornly at his fucking phone.

Summary
Izzy is always the first one to arrive at the pub, signing off on shipments and taking stock, and if Edward shows up it will be just before last call, when Izzy is dead on his feet and can’t say no to a single thing. Truthfully, though, he rarely can.
Every day starts and ends exactly the same way, until a particularly chatty history professor begins sharing his morning commute.

Summary
“Do you think I could help in some way?” he asks.
Ed glances at him. “Like how?”
“I don’t know. You seemed to enjoy our little gag of trading places that one time.” Stede shrugs a shoulder. He’s wearing his pink satin waistcoat and matching breeches, no overcoat—too fucking humid tonight. Ed can see the shape of his arm through the thin linen of his shirt. “What if you pretend you’re the one who isn’t in charge, and I can pretend I’m the one who is. That would be fun, wouldn’t it?”

Sometimes some co-captains invent soft domming to cope.

Summary
He can’t do this, Ed thinks wildly; he can’t keep cutting away at Ed’s defenses with the lightest presses of fingers and lips, with words softer than silk and sweeter than honey. He can’t pretend Ed isn’t a terrible, broken thing, ready to shatter at the slightest suggestion and slice open everything around him on the jagged shards. He can’t just fucking love him like this, not after everything he’s done and everything he hasn’t. He can’t, he can’t, he can’t—
But he does, and Ed is running out of ways to stop him.
