Summary
It's the late 90s. Stede, a senior in high school, takes a job at a local fast food franchise to earn some cash, hoping to make it out without his father's help. His trainer at work, Ed, wants to escape too. Maybe together they can get somewhere. Anywhere is better.
They'll get out, sure. But they have a whole lot to learn.
Childhood friends to lovers who don't talk about it to strangers to lovers, basically. Some angst, but hopefully balanced.
Thrilled to say this has been podfic'd by Lindie, the best who ever done it. Link here.

Summary
Stede keeps giving Ed *the look* and Ed tries to figure out what it means for once and for all.
“And what about you, Stede Bonnet? Proclivities and all that?”
ETA: thrilled to be able to tell you that there is a podfic available from SD_Ryan right over here

Summary
In Ed's experience, there's nothing quite so effective at snuffing out a crush than the disappointment of a mediocre roll in the hay.
So, Ed has a plan: One quick fuck to get this crush on Stede out of his system.
It's a good plan. Solid, simple, and definitely, one hundred per cent foolproof.
Right?

Summary
There’s a fire going to keep off the slight chill, and the flickering light casts a warm glow on Stede’s golden hair where he sits on the sofa, all snuggled up in a robe and a cashmere afghan. Ed is at the pianoforte, playing a hymn, oddly enough.
It's a cozy night on The Revenge, and Stede loves Ed's hands, so he shows him.

Summary
Ed has been thinking about Calypso's Birthday since they arrived at the inn, specifically about Stede shoving him up against a wall - the strength of his arms, the look in his eyes. Maybe it's finally time to ask for a repeat performance.
