    Who got married at sea, anyway?

    Idiots.

    Scratch that: who got married anywhere? On land, at sea or in the fucking air, even?

    Massive fucking idiots (and Jackie).

    *

    Ed 'attends' a wedding. Unfortunately, so does Stede.

    Short S2 alternative reunion fic because I can promise you, this will not be how the actual reunion goes down.

    Summary

    Our saltwater solution reduces gravity’s pull by over 80%, ensuring you'll effortlessly stay afloat! We keep the water at a steady 36 degrees—matching your skin’s temperature. This blend of weightlessness and warmth blurs the lines between your body and the water, as your nerves can’t tell where you end and the surrounding environment begins.

     

    Weightlessness. Yeah. If anything’s gonna be Ed’s cure-all, it’s gotta be weightlessness, right?

    Ed’s carried around weight for most of his life. He’s tired. His muscles ache. His joints are all ground down to dust.

    Also - the word solution is right there. Which proves it.

    This is it. This is Ed’s solution.

    (Or: Ed's on a wellness journey for his fuckass brain. It's not going great. The guy at the float tank place is being way too nice about it. Please mind the tags!)

    Summary

    Stede had quite a lot of practice not doing things.
    Take now, for instance.
    Studiously practicing not closely watching Ed’s graceful fingers pinch at tobacco, place it carefully in the crook of paper, and deftly roll a cigarette, practicing not watching his tongue dart out along the seam of paper to seal it, watching him strike a match against the stone he sits on, bring the light to his smoke, inhale, puff.

    Summary

    After Edward returns to the Revenge, Izzy tries his best to be patient and take care of him. Unfortunately his best isn't very good.

    "There’s a small snuffle from the direction of the sleeping nook; it too has been closed up, hidden behind thick drapes. Izzy's stomach sinks and he sighs, twisting his gloved hand over his beard. He hadn't thought of it this morning, when adrenaline was running wild through him, but he recognizes this now. This is how it goes. He knows Edward’s mercurial moods like he knows the tides, the currents around the islands, the motions of the stars. After the wildness, the excitement, the obsession, comes the drop."
