    Summary

    Ed returns to the ship, wears the sackcloth and bell, abides the rules (mostly), but grapples with identifying his emotions and stilling his mind and body long enough to self reflect. Patience is needed in adjusting to his new place amongst the crew, patience he's never had, including with his self-imposed rule of taking things slow with Stede.

    An exploration in differentiating a sense of guilt and fear of ostracization, with a hefty dose of deep yearning.

    Summary

    “That one with the leather and the hair, he’s getting cast for sure.”
    “Oh, yeah. Doesn’t even matter if you can actually bake, when you look like that!”
    “He’ll be this year’s Chigs, or Sandro. Everyone’s flavor, you know?”

    When Ed Teach gets cast on The Great British Bake Off, he understands the assignment. Look hot on camera, banter with the judges, bake memorable shit.

    He isn’t there to make trouble. He isn't there to make friends.

    And he certainly isn’t there to fall in love with fellow baker Stede Bonnet.

    Summary

    “I wanna stay,” he slurs, voice just on the cusp of unintelligible. His grip on Stede’s other hand tightens, and his eyes swirl wildly. “I don’t wanna go back, don’t let me go back, Stede–”

    “Go back? Ed, what do you mean?”

    “Don’t wanna…I wanna stay. Please. Lemme stay. Keep me…here, keep me–jus’ keep me, ‘kay?”

    (OR: After the gravy basket, Ed is terrified of falling asleep. It's a fear that stays close by in the weeks that follow. A series of missing scenes from S2, BIG TIME angst with a happy, smutty ending. Because Ed deserves to be happy)
