behold: the scene that immediately precedes the best things in life come in threes
oh hey didn’t see you there, looks like there’s another chapter up in my silly wdw!au
A good cry can calm us down, help us process our feelings, and sometimes be gosh darn cathartic. Don’t hold it in, and don’t feel bad about needing to let your feelings out <3
love from the sad ghost club
ugh I’m obsessed with Jack and Ed’s toxic little garbage friendship with questionable benefits. WHAT HAPPENED ON HORNIGOLD’S SHIP I HAVE TO KNOW
and that's where ao3 is your friend, mate
oh I am definitely one of the (few) ones contributing
I know the joke is like, haha, how did we all collectively decide that THIS GUY is the soft Dom of Blackbeard’s dreams?
Consider: All he does is give. He pays his crew wages, regardless of their plunder. He makes sure they have creative and recreational outlets. He sees Ed, whom he has just met, secretly brush the corner of some of his fabric against his face, and his reaction is, “Like that? You’ll love this!” and takes this complete stranger into his secret closet, lets him touch whatever he wants. Lets him wear his clothes. Brings him breakfast in “bed” the next morning. Agrees to take him to a party he himself doesn’t really want to go to. Lets him wear more of his clothes. Has a private breakfast spread for him what we can assume is every morning.
Consider: “On your feet! We’re having a day!” Ep7 is probably my favorite because imo it does more to further the romance than anything else outside of the moonlight scene. Our well-coiffed sunshine could have let Ed nap, but instead convinced him to do something new—which is what Ed wants; it’s what he’s wanted from the beginning. (Classic infuriating soft Dom behavior: knowing you better than you.) And Ed is rewarded with unearthing Stede’s petrified heart, realizing it isn’t a stone—more importantly, showing Stede it wasn’t a stone—and establishing and toasting their partnership. Alone. In Stede’s designed-for-flow candlelit quarters. Their faces…this far apart.
Sure, you say, that’s some real service top energy, but soft Dom?
Consider: “Good, because I kind of enjoyed it.” “Stand down, Ed!” “Get off my ship. Now.” “Unhand me or bleed.” He doesn’t do it a lot, but when Stede issues an order, it is followed. Maybe with grumbling or pouting (@ Ed, u precious babygirl) or insults, but no one really challenges him once he puts his back into it.
Stede knows finery, and he knows Ed is the finest thing he’s ever had. He knows you treat fine things gently, with love, but also that you put up hard boundaries to protect them.
kinktober prompts: E!
the romance of it all (choking): Stede(/Ed). 1,414. Stede figures some stuff out about himself on his way to Ed.
he’s so bad but he does it so well (dirty talk): pre-canon Jack/Ed. 1,787. Jack runs his mouth. Ed is into it.
we lay here for years or for hours (pegging): trans!Stede/Ed. 1,690. a little cock worship, as a treat.
it’s just that I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you (wall sex + fingering): Stede/Ed. 2,598. Ed is good at everything, including waiting, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get sick of it.
carve your name in my bedpost (whipping): pre-canon Jack/Ed. 2,258. Ed submits to the mortifying deal of being known, by Calico Jack of all people.
a constellation of tears on your lashes (gags/drooling, thigh fucking, dacryphilia): post-canon Stede/Ed. 8,449. Ed asks Stede to, you know, whatever, it doesn’t matter, but what if he, like, made Ed cry. As a…whatever. As a sex thing.
it’s all good; I wish you would: E! Stede/Ed. 19,119. post-reunion and our captains have made up. it’s just that they haven’t touched yet and it’s making Ed bonkers.
taking the helm: E! Stede/Ed. 14,184. Ed’s exhausted, and Stede wants to relieve him of his decision fatigue (with pretty clothes + delicious food + [of course] sex).
a moment of weakness: E! Stede/Ed. 16,950. medium-angsty reunion fic, plus hair-washing! and banging!
if you like your pirates gay, explicitly smutty, and made of words, have I got some good news for you.

“It’s just,” Ed finally mumbles, “like, it doesn’t matter, but what if, like, you. Sometime. Made me cry.”
“Ed, darling,” Stede says, “you know I never want to make you cry.”
“I know,” Ed says. “But this—this’d be different. Not a—not a sad cry. I mean crying as like, as. Whatever. As. A sex thing.” He’s stumbling all over his words but he can’t help it; they’re tripping out of him, spilling out of him like a waterfall. Because now that he’s put it out there, out in the universe, he really. Well. He really fucking wants it, is the thing.
