Summary
“One might think that living a cursed existence is a bad thing. Objectively so, some might say!” Stede turned on his heel, coat swishing out dramatically behind him.
“One might also assume that being made to walk the earth - er - one little isle of it, for all the days and nights thereof ever and after and so on to be a miserable existence. And they may be right to say so! But!” Here he turned to his audience, “What’s the difference between a curse…and a blessing?” He looked enquiringly around the little beach. None of the animals strewn about it appeared to be listening.
“Anyone? Swede?”
The sea lion shrunk back a little guiltily, not meeting his gaze.
“Black Pete?”
There was a rude short from the scraggly hound.
“No one? Really?” Stede sighed. “Alright. The secret is…perspective!” He made a little flourish. “Ta da!” There was a despairing whine. He chose to ignore that.

Summary
Gender has never been especially set in stone for Beau - the meter mostly stays on "girl" with the odd wiggle outside the bounds. But there are some rare days when she wakes to find herself pretty certain she's less than thrilled. It was bound to happen eventually over the course of her relationship with Yasha, but that doesn't make it immediately any easier to deal with.

Summary
“I just… I looked at you, just now,” he goes on, voice dangerously close to wobbling, “and I felt…” He shrugs and squeezes his eyes shut. “I don’t know. Overcome. Like my heart could’ve… burst. Like I couldn’t breathe with it all. Like I couldn’t hold you close enough.” He sighs. “I’m sorry, I must sound ridiculous—I suppose I’m still half-asleep—”
“Hey.”
Ed’s voice is still so gentle, and when Stede opens his eyes, he sees that Ed is looking at him very seriously again.
“I get it,” he says.

stede gets a little emotional about how much ed means to him; ed completely understands.

Summary
“I was hoping you’d know where that bastard was.”
“Who?” Stede asks like a fool.
Bonny’s face is absolutely terrifying when it’s lit up by the candles in the room, and she leans forward, closer to him.
“The Gentleman fucking pirate. Stede Bonnet.”
His entire body tenses, and he knows his crew well enough to know their tells for when they’re equally as nervous. Clenching one hand beneath the table, Stede smiles. “Ah. I’ve heard of him before. Caused you some trouble, has he?”

AKA Stede is doing his best to get his bearings together and reunite with Ed. As one might have guessed, things don't go as planned.Bookmarked by Cthulhubelle
