Summary
When the zoo finds itself in the path of the hurricane, Ed and his panther find themselves sheltering in place with the strange keeper and his twenty flamingos. Ed's been fascinated since he first saw Stede, but will proximity spark something more between them?
“Arthur, where are y— Ed!”
It sends a thrill through Ed to hear Stede’s tone change from its previous exasperated tone. It shouldn’t. Stede sounds like that about everyone. Stede sounds like that about the slightly dry tuna mayonnaise sandwiches at the monthly meeting.
“Hey.”
Stede is wearing his zoo-issued polo, of course, the logo new and crisp, barely out of the plastic wrapper, and his khaki shorts are pretty standard, but his wellies are nearly the same pink as the flamboyance of flamingos trailing behind him, with added sparkle.
Ed doesn’t smile when he sees them. The corners of his mouth might turn up, but that’s different. He’s been away for a month and he’s missed anyone being so inescapably Stede, with his flamingos gathered around him loosely, and lovingly eyeing the feed bucket he’s carrying.

Right?

Summary
The day they get married, the things he knows about Stede could fit on a post-it note.
First: he’s fucking rich.
Second: he needs a husband to stay that way.
Third: he is built like a brick shithouse. Pretty eyes, nice hair. Penchant for weird socks.
(Or: 5 times Ed doesn't tell his husband he loves him, and 1 time he does.)

Summary
"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness".
1 John 1:9
Edward Teach knows sin and guilt. He's got success and fame, a life that most would envy professionally, but his personal life is another matter entirely. He's shit at relationships, shit at finding happiness, in general, Ed's always been a bit shit. He knows he's floating through life, and eventually floats back into the same city he went to college. The same city he once crushed a sweet guy all for the sake of winning a bet.
And meets Father Stede Bonnet, a man who seems to see into his guilt-laden soul and offers to wash his sins clean.

Summary
“All right,” he finally breathes, heart flying into a quicker rhythm as he meets Stede’s gaze. There’s a wild sort of excitement there, one matched by the sudden, frantic thrum of Ed’s blood through his veins, stepping into a dream he’s never even thought to have before this moment. “I’m—I’m a princess. Yeah.”
Stede fucking beams.

Summary
“I think I—I think—I might be pregnant,” Stede stutters and the floor feels like it drops out from under Ed.
Whatever he was expecting Stede to say, that certainly isn’t it. Ed’s world stands on end, his mind skidding to an abrupt halt. His stomach flip flops like he’s just started the descent on a roller coaster picking up speed and he finds he’s unable to hold himself up any longer, melting down into a puddle next to Stede on the tile. His heart’s pounding in his chest so fast that it seems like time has slowed down. All while he feels Stede’s eyes on him, knowing he’s waiting for a response and trying not to have a full on melt down as he tries to process everything he just heard. He combs a hand down his face, and then something seems to break through his disjointed thoughts hanging on one word.
“Wait—you think or you are?” Ed asks.

Summary
Stede’s been picking up on it for a while, Ed’s hesitance to share when he’s upset, or worried, or feeling hurt. They’ve managed to talk a few things out by now, namely that they’d give pirating a break, that they wanted to do it together.
That had been huge, actually. Still – he can’t help but feel that Ed’s walking on eggshells, as though the wrong words might spook Stede into fleeing.
Deep down Stede knows he won’t, neither of them will, but yeah – he knows the feeling. They’ve still got a lot of talking to do.
Just needs a little elbow grease.
“I love you,” he whispers, sliding even closer, lightly carding his fingers through Ed’s hair.
The forced smile relaxes into a real one, warm and pleased. “Love you.”
Or:
Ed and Stede have some work to do on the inn…among other things. They’re up for the challenge.

“I have nothing to admit, my darling.”
Ed scoffs, “Whatever, mate! It’s obvious to anyone who has fuckin eyes -“
“It is not!”
“It is so!” Ed retorts, leveling Stede with a seductive stare, “Admit it, Bonnet. You’ve got the hots for Applejack.”
…
Ever since Ed brought up the silly notion that Stede’s got a crush on their newest employee, it tumbled into something unexpected.
A sort of chase, if you will. A cat and mouse game.

_____________
“My turn to tell you you’re not too much?”
Swallowing around the sudden knot in his throat, Ed gives a weak laugh. “Suppose so.”
Stede pushes himself onto his elbows with a little grunt as cool air touches his chest, running a hand through his hair in a futile attempt to tame his bedhead. “You are not too much,” he rasps. “You are exactly enough. And I like it very much.”

Summary
“Please, Nanny!”.
“For the hundredth time, Master Stede, the answer is no.”
“I’m not asking you to pay for them! I can pay for them! I’ve still got my birthday money that my grandparents sent me!”.
“That’s not the point, Master Stede. If I were to help you buy those books, and your parents found out, I’d lose my job. You know what they think of such things.”
Stede knew, all right. He’d had his parents’ opinion of whimsical distractions like toys and art supplies and storybooks drummed into his head for most of his ten-year existence. But I have to have those books, he thought with desperate longing. I simply have to.
*****
At one point, Rhys said that he thought Stede’s favourite song would be “The Rainbow Connection”:
Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices? I’ve heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet song that lures the young sailor? The voice might be one and the same.
This story tries to explore that yearning for more that I think Stede felt from an early age.
