Presenting the first chapter of my @ofmd-reverse-bang 's fic!

Title: Sway with Me Main pairing: Stede Bonnet/Ed Teach Tags: AU - modern setting, Dirty Dancing AU, if you squint, summer vacation, clothes sharing, fast burn, semi-public sex, sharing a bed, emotional support as a love language, gift giving, Stede is lowkey obsessed with Ed's hair, we don't blame him, Mary is the best wingman Summary: As a last hurrah to the end of their marriage, Stede and Mary pack up their sensible Volvo and take themselves and the children on a two-week holiday to an all-inclusive resort island just off the coast of Auckland. On their first night, Stede slips out the door of their suite to stroll along the peaceful shoreline and somehow finds himself in the company of a new friend.

A Dirty Dancing AU (if you squint) featuring the fiercely supportive, ex-wife goddess: Mary, the canonical experience of Ed and Stede falling for each other entirely too quickly, The Hands Twins, and a Fuckery finale for a touch of flare. Length: 40ishk - the 11 chapters of this story will be posted biweekly until the big finale and Mahnah's fab art masterpiece!
