#ed/stede
He realizes that he shouldn’t have brought Izzy up with Ed being in such a particularly foul mood, as even on a good day, mentioning him can cause Ed to go distant or shut off entirely.

Stede starts walking to the dinghy they keep tied up at the shore’s edge to get provisions.

Ed stares ahead blankly, past Stede’s head at a notch in the wood of the door.

“Come to think of it, I must have been hearing things. Ignore me. I’m probably just hungry. Or tired. Or both!” Stede throws his hands up theatrically.

Ed drops the teacup onto the rug, which somehow allows it to roll under a chair unscathed.

Ed sighs, clenching his fists, remaining silent. “Did you now?”

“Well- it sounded…” Stede trails off, shifting his shoe on a squeaky floorboard before continuing “sounded like him.”

“I heard something. At the beach,” he rushes out, interrupting the next throw.

Ed pauses, a teacup in hand, furrowing his brows. “What?”

“I heard… I think…”

“You heard what, Stede? Come out with it!” Ed snaps.

“I think… I heard Izzy,” Stede says, putting his arms in front of his face.

“That’s a new record, mate. What were you gone, five minutes? Really gave me time to think about what I’ve done. Really learned my lesson.” Ed punctuates the last word with another piece of glassware hitting the doorframe.

Stede flinches.

it's a strange coincidence in a monster truck au, when the feeling is musical. stede and a ashamed ed team up at a fetish night. the moon disappears and they are unusual. meanwhile roach and karl the seagull are busy with getting wet.

Stede showing off his trophy wife, and Ed yearning pathetically, both in character
Let me try that again…

I was just looking through things I’d gotten at cons and found my Stede in the cursed suit, Ed in his cat suit, and Izzy and Calypso keychains I got from you. I can recommend your stuff wholeheartedly.

Fic where Stede tracks down the “we could have made magic” man while they are staying in the Republic of Pirates and has him explain to him the nuances of anal so that when he finds Ed he has some idea what to do. (magic guy offers a live demonstration but Stede feels that would betray Ed).

in a rocky au, ed and stede are filming a tiktok. meanwhile, stede is pretending he isn't in love. It's rated g.
October 8, 2026 at 4:15 PM
Ed bit his lip against a giggle. He’s pretty sure Stede wasn’t doing it on purpose.

“I’m sure no one will watch my little videos, but perhaps I can help someone else who has been sitting on the sidelines and wanting to try. Jump in! Try something new!”

10,378 words in this draft and i think i gotta edit it back a smidge but hey there's some tender garlic soup with background sapphic ed/stede probably coming your way tomorrow!!
October 8, 2026 at 2:30 PM
And that's how, after months, Ed finally comes face to face with a slightly-closer-to-death-than-he-would-have-liked Stede Bonnet.
October 8, 2026 at 1:36 PM
Modern day Ed stalking Stede, at first Stede is oblivious to it but after a while Ed wants to be acknowledged so starts making it more obvious, lingering long enough for Stede to notice *something* isn't right.

Ed goes into Stede’s home and purposefully leaves things untidy-
October 8, 2026 at 1:36 PM
it's been ten years since everything went wrong but now pete and lucius and ed are going to need therapy. when ed and stede immediately click, time-traveling jim and archie tries to introduce ed and stede. it's a larp au.

I really always thought that this was supposed to be a younger portrait of his Dad and he's sort of trying to prove something to his Dad. Look at me now Dad! If it was Stede, I figured Ed would've stabbed it in the heart (rather than the eyes) & cried over it.

it's just before midnight on new years eve in a pre-modern au, and the mood is poetic. stede and a wacky ed meet right in front of frenchie's salad. roach has the big knife out and they are sexy. meanwhile mirror universe ed and steak knife are busy with on their side.

Get yourself a man who looks at you like Ed looks at Stede 😍
