rare and sweet as cherry wine
Written by wishingonalightningbolt. Word count: 10532.
When Ed meets Stede Bonnet, his first impression is that the guy is interesting—handsome, wealthy, lots of opinions about grapes. So Ed keeps nodding and smiling and asking questions, and Stede keeps talking and gesturing and even leaning into the little touches Ed risks after a few glasses of delicious, extravagant wine. Pretty quickly, Ed realizes that the guy is too charming for his own good, full of compliments and always ready to pour another taste.
Later, when Ed presses him against a wall of barrels, swallows his moans while he gets his hands all over him, Ed knows—Izzy is gonna fucking love this guy.
