    (A series of interconnected character studies focused on reading histories and habits; best if read in order, but each fic can be read as a standalone.)

    Summary

    Ed has TMJ. It complicates things. Sex, alright, sex, it complicates sex, because Ed likes oral sex, he likes it a whole fucking lot, so sue him. But it's fine, whatever, he can just take a break from giving blowjobs and eating people out, he can baby his jaw and he won't be in any pain. Well, he won't be in more pain than his usual chronic pain. Excellent plan, 10/10 no notes.

    Until he meets Stede. And then he's in love, and horny about it, and he wants to give Stede blowjobs like all the fucking time.

    Well. Shit.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    Our saltwater solution reduces gravity’s pull by over 80%, ensuring you'll effortlessly stay afloat! We keep the water at a steady 36 degrees—matching your skin’s temperature. This blend of weightlessness and warmth blurs the lines between your body and the water, as your nerves can’t tell where you end and the surrounding environment begins.

     

    Weightlessness. Yeah. If anything’s gonna be Ed’s cure-all, it’s gotta be weightlessness, right?

    Ed’s carried around weight for most of his life. He’s tired. His muscles ache. His joints are all ground down to dust.

    Also - the word solution is right there. Which proves it.

    This is it. This is Ed’s solution.

    (Or: Ed's on a wellness journey for his fuckass brain. It's not going great. The guy at the float tank place is being way too nice about it. Please mind the tags!)

    Summary

    “That one with the leather and the hair, he’s getting cast for sure.”
    “Oh, yeah. Doesn’t even matter if you can actually bake, when you look like that!”
    “He’ll be this year’s Chigs, or Sandro. Everyone’s flavor, you know?”

    When Ed Teach gets cast on The Great British Bake Off, he understands the assignment. Look hot on camera, banter with the judges, bake memorable shit.

    He isn’t there to make trouble. He isn't there to make friends.

    And he certainly isn’t there to fall in love with fellow baker Stede Bonnet.
