Summary
“How…much of a kiss are we looking for?” asked Stede.
“Dunno,” said Ed. “Doesn’t have to be long. But you do have to kiss me back. For. You know. Culpability.”
“Right. Obviously.” And then he’d raised his eyebrows at Ed and said, “Oh, don’t worry. I’ll kiss you back.”
A modern AU where Ed is directing and acting in a film where the bulk of the scenes are improvised. Today he has to kiss his best friend, Stede. It's going to go great!

Summary
Ed’s seen plenty of folks run a marathon.
He’s also seen plenty of folks walk a marathon.
But he’s never seen anyone race walk a marathon. Until now.
Ed notices the cadence before anything else. It’s all hips. Hips swiveling and dipping like those of a supermodel, if that model were crossing a football field at the same pace the others made it down the catwalk. Arms pumping double time but no bounce in the shoulders—eerily smooth from the chest up. And while on the topic of chest…this might be the broadest chest Ed’s ever seen on an endurance athlete. A luminous pink shirt hugs his biceps, the swell of his tits, the small peaks of his—Jesus. With the rain and the chill, someone’s gonna get an eye poked out.
Ed hopes it’s him.
He doesn’t need both of his eyes.
or:
This blond guy race walking a marathon is the sexiest person Ed Teach has ever seen. And Ed's...fascinated.

Summary
A modern AU in which Ed is a glassblower, because glassblowing is sexy. Ed/Stede medium burn, E rating applies from chapter 4 onwards.
Stede's life is boring, flat, made up of things he didn't choose for himself. He commissions some glass art from Ed as an anniversary gift for Mary, and Stede starts to learn what it is like to want things for himself.
---
“Hey, it’s blond guy!”
“Uh,” Stede looks up to see leather and purple and strikingly tumbling hair. “Hi. Stede Bonnet. Blond guy?”
“Yeah man, I’ve seen you in the shop, I call you Blond Guy in my head. Good to have a proper name for you, Stede. I’m Ed.”

Summary
Well, if that didn’t do something funny to Stede’s stomach! “Oh?” he asked, hoping it didn’t sound too intrigued, that it maybe landed just this side of propriety. “Well, then, maybe I should hire you as a consultant! I could write the first queer cowboy novel with a bit of veracity.”
Was he flirting? He figured he probably was. It hadn’t been an intentional choice, per se, but the heart wants what the heart wants, and Ed was incredibly attractive, and he seemed like the kind of man whose company Stede could really enjoy– the kind who might even enjoy his.
“I’d be willing to give it a look,” Ed said, and it sounded very much like he might be flirting, too. His chin had taken on a delightful downward tilt and his eyes looked downright mischievous. “You said you didn’t have plans tonight?”

Summary
Ed shrugs one shoulder. His eyes wander the party. “Y’know. If you’ve got no one to kiss at midnight…and I’ve got no one to kiss at midnight…we could maybe– well, might as well just, I don’t know, kiss each other?”
(or: Ed and Stede's friendship group all have a New Year's kiss locked in for midnight, except them...)
