Relationship: Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet 

Summary: After a break up, Stede comes over to his best buddy Ed's house for a movie night. Is tonight the night that Ed finally tells him how he feels? Maybe, but expect 9,000 words of panic attack first.

Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Friends to Lovers, Oblivious Stede Bonnet, Blackbeard | Edward Teach is Down Bad, brief Stede Bonnet/other, Moulin Rouge (2001) is weirdly central to the premise for some reason, No actual knowledge of Moulin Rouge (2001) needed, Mutual Pining, Idiots in Love, Getting Together 

Note from the author: Hi friends! Here we are, baby's first modern AU. Basically I was watching Moulin Rouge a while back, and the next morning I woke up to a barely legible note that I'm pretty sure says, "Ed over-identifies with Satine???" And, well, here we are. As I mentioned in the tags, no previous knowledge of Moulin Rouge should be necessary here. Enjoy! 💜

By thisreader.

Ed and Jack had a brilliant plan at 19: be roommates and split living expenses forever (or, at least until one of them has a partner they want to live with). Five years later, Ed is tired of having no boyfriend prospects and no hope of living without Jack.

Stede offers a solution.

Because they're best friends, and that's just what best friends do.

-or-

Ed and Stede Pretend to Date (and it goes as well as one might imagine)

"You don't get to say that to me," Ed had said.

Well, if Stede couldn't tell Ed he loved him, he would just have to show him, every single chance he got, and in every way he could think of.

Or, five times Stede couldn't say 'I love you' and one time he could.

ARCHIVE WARNING for graphic depictions of violence. Check the written work for more details. 

When Stede encourages the crew to share scary stories on the deck one night, not everybody really understands the brief. After a few attempts with varying success, what actually gets their hearts racing isn't a story at all.

So far he’s got ‘Dear Ed, I long for’. The end of the r is cut off, lost somewhere on another strip of paper.

Long for what, Stede??? He scrambles through the pile. The end of an r. Somewhere, somewhere…

Aha!

‘you’

‘Dear Ed,
I long for you.’

(or: Stede jams the office paper shredder. Again. Ed fixes it for him and finds out some secrets in the process.)
