Fics like No Harm Done

Honestly, Stede had no control over how he had ended up in the situation: having to kiss Ed as a result of a lost wager with the crew. But he can’t, hand on heart, say that he regrets it. It may even prove to be the spark that ignites a much brighter future for himself, and hopefully for - with - Ed as well. If he can just work out how best to stoke that intriguing fire… “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!“ The chant, with its rich harmonies of multiple voices, rolls, inexorable as a tidal wave, across the twilight deck. Oh good God. And things had all been going so well. Stede stands, stiff and mortified, doing his best to ignore where he can make out Ed in his peripheral vision. Ed, standing next to Stede and calmly watching him, his face still, his arms folded across his chest. If only he hadn’t argued with Lucius, none of this would be happening. He wouldn’t be about to make an absolute fool of himself whilst also, more importantly, humiliating Ed in the process as well. Not that Ed looks humiliated. In fact, Stede could swear that there is a hint of a smirk lurking under that luscious beard.
