Summary
Maybe this is all real, including the clean-shaven, well-adjusted version of himself sitting on the bed. In which case: why? And also, like, how?
Could be it’s the universe taking the piss. Showing him the timeline he could’ve been living in, if Stede cared enough to come back and find him. He could’ve been this other Ed, who apparently got Stede back and has learned to talk plainly about all the shit he’s feeling.
Could be it’s some, like, glimpse of the future? Like a warning? Like hey, Ed, you should think twice about offing yourself, because Stede’s actually about to show up any second, and you maybe kinda want to be alive for that?
Ha. Yeah, right.

"God, I’m so…”
“Embarrassed?” Ed says. “Well, first of all, trust me, you’ve got no reason to be. Second of all, it’s a fucking pirate ship. Everyone sees everyone’s dick eventually.” -

“Stede. Mate.” Ed's eyes glint with mischief. “Are you seriously telling me you’ve never had your tits slapped?”

“You’re buying those jeans, right?”
Stede’s lips make a shy little almost-smile. “I’m… considering it. Do you think they look all right?”
Fuck it, Ed decides. Time to go for broke. “Look, mate, what I think is that anyone who sees you in those jeans is immediately gonna start wondering how fast they can get you out of ’em.” -

Summary
“I heard you’re a writer,” Blackbeard says.
There’s a sudden rustling sound as Blackbeard kicks something across the floor. Frenchie bends down to retrieve it, and sees that it’s a notebook. Wide and empty, like that one Lucius used to carry around with him.
“Write us a better ending then.”
(Captain Blackbeard has heard about Frenchie’s ‘bit of fanfiction.’ He asks him to write a better ending for his and Stede’s story. Frenchie tries his best but soon other people want to tell the story the way it should have gone, including Fang, Lucius, Ivan, Jim, and ultimately Ed. In the act of surviving and telling stories together, relationships are considered, examined, and developed. Meanwhile, a ship trailing seagulls grows closer and closer on the horizon.)

Summary
The last person Lucius expected to save him from uncertain death was Blackbeard's obnoxious, repressed, inexplicably hot little gremlin of a first mate. Now, trapped inside the cabin of a man who hates him, with a crazy captain running around, half a crew trying desperately to keep the ship afloat, and not even a change of pants...
Yeah, getting out of this situation is going to take every bit of ingenuity he has left.

Summary
“Do you think I could help in some way?” he asks.
Ed glances at him. “Like how?”
“I don’t know. You seemed to enjoy our little gag of trading places that one time.” Stede shrugs a shoulder. He’s wearing his pink satin waistcoat and matching breeches, no overcoat—too fucking humid tonight. Ed can see the shape of his arm through the thin linen of his shirt. “What if you pretend you’re the one who isn’t in charge, and I can pretend I’m the one who is. That would be fun, wouldn’t it?”
