    Summary

    "I don't have demands," Bonnet says. "This isn't a hostage negotiation. But to start, I think we should stop quarreling over him like a pair of hungry jackals."

    Summary

    Izzy is always the first one to arrive at the pub, signing off on shipments and taking stock, and if Edward shows up it will be just before last call, when Izzy is dead on his feet and can’t say no to a single thing. Truthfully, though, he rarely can.

    Every day starts and ends exactly the same way, until a particularly chatty history professor begins sharing his morning commute.

    Summary

    Edward, Stede thinks, examining the man laying on the bed. He looks for all the world like a fearsome outlaw, which makes the failed robbery all the more confusing to Stede, but there’s a vulnerability in his sleeping face that tugs on his heartstrings. Stede’s always been a bit of a sucker for a stray. He attributes it to being a bit of a stray himself.

    Edward looks tired. Really tired, more than just the wound would justify.

    Perhaps he can get some rest here. Perhaps Stede can help with that, at least.

     

    In which notorious outlaw Edward Teach and his band of miscreants are taken in by kindly ranch owner Stede Bonnet and his misfit crew of semi-reformed criminals.

    AKA the cowboy au no one asked for but I desperately want. Yeehaw.

    [COMPLETE!]

    Summary

    If you asked Izzy Hands what it's like to manage Edward's drag bar (since the man does happen to also be his ex), he'd tell you to fuck off because he's too busy and too fucking tired to think about it. The truth is, he can't imagine himself doing anything else.

    That is, until some prick named Stede Bonnet opens a queer-friendly cafe across the road - although you'd never know it, from the amount of time he spends hanging around watching their shows.

    That is, until Edward starts... getting better. Being happier. Wanting to try getting on stage again, for the first time since his career-ending injury.

    That is, until Roach, the weird baker from across the road starts stealing his cigarettes at four in the morning when he's clocking off, and he starts to remember what it's like to actually enjoy himself again.

    ...and then?

    (In which Hux has a thing for jerks with emotional issues, and realizes that maybe it’s because he is one.)
