This is all I have actually written for it and when I was just looking for it I realised it was originally supposed to be a short monsterfucking one shot for BSW and I didn't want it to be (just) that lmao

Stede was never scared of monsters under the bed when he was growing up. He used to pretend it was because he was really brave, but really, it was because there were far scarier, much realer monsters to worry about in his day-to-day life in the form of his father and bullies.

He didn't expect – at the age of forty-two, on the first night in his new flat – to not only find out that monsters are real, but to also have one making itself at home under his bed.

He'd fallen asleep like normal, or as close to normal as he could while being in a new place. However, at 3am sharp, he had been awoken by a loud, nightmarish scratching, followed by thumping and creaking, before his bed had begun to shake and shudder beneath him.

He'd been frozen in place, too scared to move in case whatever was causing it was ready to grab him and drag him down to the burning pits of whatever hellscape it had escaped from.

It didn't matter either way.

The monster – or at least at the time he would have called him that – had risen from beneath the bed. A ghost like creature; somehow transparent yet whole, made of everything, yet nothing. He looked like smoke and chains and slime and rope and the stars and the ocean and– and death.

Utterly, devastatingly, majestically terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

I wish I could just let people into my mind to read the fics I've got up there because there's SO many!!

I wish I was fast at writing, I'm thinking about the fic I started where Stede falls in love with the 'monster' under his bed that I'll never get round to finishing

"Let me get that for you." Ed says as he wraps his arms around his boyfriend and takes Stede's dick into his hands just as he's about to pee.

"Ed... when I said I'd never had anyone be overly 'gentlemanly' to me I meant, like, holding the door open or something. Not this!"

(In his own head) and by questionable I mean him being like 'yeah! Sending people off to get fingers removed feels great!' And instantly being like uh shit wait a minute...

It's from the next part of my gang boss ed series!

A little snip of a wip #WIPWednesday... I do love a bit of Ed fighting with himself about questionable things

“Tell me. Why are you here?” He asks again. There’s no reply, the lad just keeps his mouth shut and his head down. “If you’re going to be like that… guys, take him out back. Let’s see if whoever sent him minds him going back with a few less fingers or toes, if we let him go at all, that is.”

He catches the moment his words hit the younger man, and can’t help but feel a thrill as he watches Scrawny’s face go pale, eyes snapping back towards Ed while a tremor takes over his body.

See, as much as he hates this job, a lot, these days, there’s still moments where he gets that rush, that feeling of power one only gets from having someone fear you. It’s not every time, in fact, a lot of the time he feels like shit when he does it, it feels like a chore because he wants out. But times like this, when he’s comfortable, buzzed and has his husband there reminding him of what he has to lose, who he needs to protect, it puts him in the mindset of Blackbeard - the Gang Boss he has grown to be over the past twenty years. An untouchable deity, a name that brings even the toughest of men to their knees in fear.

It can be addictive, it can make him do stupid things, and he can't let one tiny spark ignite his need to feel powerful, to have people cower at his words. It's not worth it, the feeling is temporary, this whole thing is temporary.

What's not temporary though, is his husband who has started to nibble along his jaw, and that alone brings him back down to earth. God. He needs to get out of here.

'Be a dog walker' they said, 'it'll be fun' they said.. yeah well having a black dog somehow come back even more black because he decided to run into disgusting sludge makes me question everything (I ended up covered in it as well)

Of all of the ways Ricky Banes could have transported Stede to whatever English port town he was aiming for, being put in the stocks on the main deck wasn't what he expected.
