“he’s so babygirl !!”, I say, pointing to a middle aged (or ancient) man who has tortured and maimed hundreds if not thousands of people and constantly bottles up their homoerotic attraction to and overwhelming love for their opposites-match bundle-of-joy boyfriends (who also kill people) by putting on a hardened exterior and deflecting any intimacy

A modern AU featuring a pining Ed, a clueless Stede, found family, roughly a million animals, and a very magical house. I hope it makes you feel like you are being wrapped up in a big, gay hug. Written as a follow up to The Merry Strays of Lighthouse Sanctuary, but it's not strictly necessary to read that first. Read the most recent chapter here, or start from the beginning here.

"Yeah, I know it's probably not the best publicity that there's a podcast dedicated to alleging you murdered a police officer in cold blood," said Lucius. "But you have to realize a simple Google search would reveal as much."
"Yes, I know," Stede snapped. "I'm not an idiot. But that doesn't mean I want the crew to suddenly know they have a murderer for a boss."
maybe it's been said but in light of stede and ed's new breakup... ed as the last surviving member of a 70s rock band, they lived like kings, smashed up cities, left a trail of unpaid bills and broken hearts in their wake but it all ended in tears. and then ed discovers stede, an older guy with a unique sound who's trying to make it in the industry and he helps him put out demos and get his first shows, but when stede blows up in la and starts living the rockstar life, ed can't take it. he doesn't know how to warn him but he doesn't want to ask him to give the fame up just to what - run a shitty diner whose only patrons are the other survivors of the seventies? and so they split and stede writes the most devastating breakup song that plays on every radio in every shitty bar ed frequents, and the whole world is wondering who broke stede bonnet's heart.
