Summary
The crew’s party still rages overhead. Footsteps thud and cheers erupt when Ed drops heavily onto the bed, and then fireworks start. Ed jolts at the sound, or maybe it’s at the way Stede’s fingers trail the length of his as he pulls his hand away. The cabin, bathed in the soft glow of firelight, becomes a swirling, flashing kaleidoscope.

Filling in the gaps for episode 6 of season 2. Now also available here as a podfic by the incomparable SD Ryan!

Summary
Stede goes very still for a moment, his next breath a touch heavier than the one before. “Captain’s orders?” he asks, taking a tiny step forward, back into Ed’s space.
“Yeah,” Ed breathes, and he backs against the desk as Stede takes another step, plants his hands on the wood and slides his hips up and back to sit. He lets his legs fall open, and the bell jangles, loud in the quiet cabin.
---------------
After agreeing to take it slow, Ed and Stede do just that. Until they don't :)

Summary
Through the fire, Stede’s eyes and the pearly snaps of his neat shirt glint in the flickering light. “Something about me, like what?”
Fresh, is the word that immediately springs to mind, along with soft and bouncy and unspoiled, and Ed doesn’t say any of them. “Just something. Not a bad thing. Nice to have someone I can show the ropes to.”
-------
Wyoming, 1963. Two young men sign on to herd sheep for the summer.

Summary
The next candidate comes sauntering into the cabin, her heavy, unhurried footsteps drawing Ed’s attention and holding it firmly. Her outfit’s all black, or near enough, so she already matches the vibe they’re trying to go for on the ship.
She also looks fucking hot.
She’s got a strong nose and a wide, toothy grin and a thick spill of jet-black hair and Ed wants, no, Ed needs to get fucked by her immediately.
------------
Ed is just starting out as a captain and is hiring new crew members. He finds one candidate that he really, really likes!

Summary
Stede wakes to shafts of golden light creeping across the bedsheets and strands of silver hair across his face. He smiles, reaches up to draw it aside, and Ed stirs in his arms. They’re both naked, skin warm against skin, and when he turns onto his side to wrap an arm around Ed, his cock brushes the bedsheets and there’s something—something wrong—
He sits up and throws the bedclothes off in one motion, and—
There’s a cage around his cock.

Summary
It’s the summer of 1959, and classics professor Stede Bonnet is determined to become a new man. He’s made two monumental changes so far: he’s resigned his position at the University of Chicago, where he has taught for his entire career, and he’s left his wife Mary, to whom he has been married for nine years. Now he’s off to the only place in the United States where you can get a no-fault divorce: the deserts of Nevada. He’s checking in to a so-called Divorce Ranch just outside of Reno, where he’ll spend the requisite six weeks establishing residency. After that, it’s off to California to assume his new teaching position and his new life.
It's the summer of 1959. Ed Teach has been living in Reno since he was a teenager. He's a radio DJ, an artist, a handyman and a fixture of the community, particularly popular in the underground gay nightlife scene that is still recovering from the brutal vice raids of the McCarthy era.
