"Is that why you got divorced?" Ed asks.

"Partly" says Stede. "One night, after the children were in bed, Mary asked me for the thousandth time why I was a million miles away, and I blurted out that I was gay! First we learned that we both had a thing for Karl Urban. Then she confessed that she'd been sleeping with Doug, her painting instructor, ever since Louis had started preschool. We had a good laugh, and then a good cry, and now we're all much happier with our lives. Even the children are remarkably well-adjusted."

I went to college with Robin Weigert, so it's always fun to spot her in a show or movie. (Calamity Jane in Deadwood, and many other roles)

#WIPSnips #OFMDFanfiction #Keep Stede and Ed go back to the community garden. 🏴‍☠️😇👨‍⚕️🌱 This is the final WIP Snip for "(Out of the) Ordinary" by joules of the sea -- the fic is now complete! archiveofourown.org/works/866743...

Stede and Ed go to some of the social events at the City of Angels LGBTQIA+ Community Center. They become regulars at drag bingo and queeraoke. He’s not able to do much gardening, but he goes with Ed to the garden to keep him company. Stede sits near Frenchie, and they sing together. When Ed knows the words, he joins in, and those are the times Stede likes best.

Ed is standing behind Stede and holding Stede's bare shoulder. Stede has one hand alongside his own face. Both have their eyes closed.

Ed doesn’t want to sit and wait, and the last thing he wants to do is get anything to eat or drink. Instead, he takes the elevator to the top floor and looks for a sign that says, “Roof Access.”

He finds what he’s looking for, and his boots crunch across the gravel rooftop. He doesn’t stop until he reaches the railing, and then he sits down, his legs dangling over the edge. “Izzy! Izzy! Iz!” he calls out.

#WIPSnips #OFMDFanfiction #Humid (word match by ✨vibes✨) Dr. Stede Bonnet checks on his patient, Lucius, and Ed tags along. 🏴‍☠️😇👨‍⚕️✒️ "(Out of the) Ordinary" by joules of the sea archiveofourown.org/works/866743...

They reach the 17th floor, and Ed follows Stede into room 1717. Lucius is poking listlessly at what might be meatloaf. He drops his fork onto the tray with a clatter as he clocks Ed in human form.

“I found a friend of yours,” says Dr. Bonnet. “Anyway, I’m sorry your procedure was postponed. There was a…erm…hiccup with the scheduling. An emergency. Another patient needed emergency surgery, I mean…” He trails off. “I hope you’re not in too much pain today, Mr. Spriggs-Back, er, Black, sorry!” Ed is standing way too close, and Stede is visibly perspiring. “We’ll be doing your disc repair tomorrow, so remember: no eating or drinking after midnight.”

“Got it, Doc. I know the drill. My lower back hurts like a bitch, though. Any chance I can get some of the good meds?”

“I’ll alert your nurse and add it to your chart,” promises Dr. Bonnet. ”I have other patients to see, so I’ll let you two catch up.”

Stede leaves Lucius’ room and wipes the moisture off his face and thinks to himself, “Why am I so sweaty!?” He feels for his pulse, and it’s racing. He leans against the wall for a moment, closes his eyes, and tells himself to take a few slow, deep breaths.

“Ed?” Now Stede’s eyes are open, but unfocused. His voice sounds weak and small.
“I’m here, love. I’m here. You had a bit of an accident.” Ed manages to stop crying and sound less terrified than he feels. “The ambulance is coming. I’ll hold your hand until they get here. They’ll fix you right up.”
“I’m scared, Ed. I think I’m hurt pretty badly. I am a doctor, you know.”
“Leave it to Stede to be bitchy at a time like this,” Ed thinks wildly.

#WIPSnips #OFMDFanfiction #Quarter (word match by ✨vibes✨) Ed experiences danger for the first time. 🏴‍☠️😇👨‍⚕️ "(Out of the) Ordinary" by joules of the sea archiveofourown.org/works/866743...

Ed sees a quartet of buzz-cut-wearing teens coming toward him on electric scooters. He wishes he had one of those. His boots are not meant for long walks, and his feet are starting to hurt. The teenage marauders surround him. “Nice boots, dude!” says one. “Nice jacket, Mad Max!” says another. “Let’s get him!” says the third. “Yeah!” says the fourth. The next thing Ed knows, they are grabbing at him. He shoves the biggest one off his scooter onto the ground and makes a run for it.
He looks around frantically. The nearest building is a hair salon next to a convenience store. He dashes into the salon and runs through it, looking for the exit. He bursts out the back into a small parking lot, where he sees a woman coming out the back door of the convenience store. He runs past her and slips inside the store. He hides behind an endcap and peers around the shelves, looking through the plate glass window at the front of the store. He sees the teens gliding away, and he sighs with relief. “If that was fear,” he thinks, “I did not fucking enjoy that.”

#WIPSnips #OFMDFanfiction #Stadium (word match by ✨vibes✨) Stede show Ed around his cabin. 🏴‍☠️😇👨‍⚕️🏠🚲🥪 "(Out of the) Ordinary" by joules of the sea archiveofourown.org/works/866743...

At last, Stede turns off the main road and pulls up to a charming two-story cabin with no visible neighbors. There’s a bicycle on the front porch with a helmet dangling from the handlebars. Stede parks the car and gets out, and Ed follows him into the cabin. It has a big open area, and Stede points out the living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast bar, and powder room.
“I was just making a ham and cheese sandwich when you called,” says Stede over his shoulder, his back to Ed. “Are you hungry?”
Ed has no stomach for sandwiches or small talk. He can’t wait anymore. He reaches out and puts his hand on Stede’s upper arm. “Stede, please. Am I too late? Just tell me. Is Sam here? Did you get married?”

Stede covers him with a soft crimson-colored throw. "This will keep you cozy while I’m gone,” says Stede. “It’s a rather exquisite cashmere. I’ll be right back, and we’ll make coffee and brunch.” He gives Ed a kiss. “I love you, Ed. Have a nice nap.”
“I love you, too, Stede.” Ed rubs the corner of the throw against his cheek and mumbles, “a rather exquisite cashmere” to himself. He closes his eyes and is half-asleep in seconds.

#WIPSnips #OFMDFanfiction #Bench Ed meets Buttons, the former angel Lucius had told him about. 🏴‍☠️😇👨‍⚕️✒️🪽 "(Out of the) Ordinary" by joules of the sea archiveofourown.org/works/866743...

Now he needs a cab. Or a bus. In any case, he needs to get out of the vicinity before the police show up. He jogs down the street and turns the corner. He spots a bus bench with a sign displaying maps and schedules of intersecting routes. He’s trying to puzzle it all out when a man approaches him. The man has long, stringy blond hair, and he’s wearing jeans and a jean jacket. But what stands out about him is the seagull perched on his head.
“Karl extends his regards,” says the man, in a Scottish accent.
“Karl’s the bird?” asks Ed.
“Aye, Karl’s the bird. I’m Buttons.”
“Buttons!” exclaims Ed. “Do you know Lucius?”

Ed climbs on top of him, feeling a lot less shy than he had the night before. “I woke up hungry, and not just for toast.” Stede’s eyes go wide, and Ed laughs.
“Are you going to have your way with me, Edward?” asks Stede, teasing him.
Ed growls playfully and starts peppering Stede’s face, neck, and chest with kisses.

Stede wakes up at dawn to find himself alone. Technically, Ed’s side of the bed is not completely empty, since Stede is lying starfished across the whole queen-size mattress. He worries for a moment, until he hears Ed downstairs, singing “Iris” along with the music coming from the bluetooth speaker in the kitchen:
“And I'd give up forever to touch you,
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't wanna go home right now.”

Ed answers right away. “Why? Why become human?”
Lucius wipes his hands on his napkin and then scrolls through the photos on his phone. When he finds what he’s looking for, he turns his phone around so Ed can see the screen. It’s a picture of a smiling bald man in a strangely sleeveless white dress shirt and a robin’s egg blue vest, standing next to Lucius, who is in a matching blue suit. They’re both wearing white bow ties and matching boutonnieres. Lucius smiles fondly at the photo. “This is Pete. Light of my life. The reason I fell.”

Stede takes Ed’s hand and leads him upstairs. They can’t help stopping every few steps to kiss, but they finally reach the bedroom. They stand by the foot of the bed looking at each other for a moment, and then Stede asks in a seductive tone, “Will you take off your clothes for me, Edward?”

#WIPSnips #OFMDFanfiction #Out Stede tells Ed about coming out to Mary. 🏴‍☠️😇👨‍⚕️🎨 "(Out of the) Ordinary" by joules of the sea archiveofourown.org/works/866743...

Stede sets down his fork. “I used to relate so much to that little wooden puppet, wanting to be a ‘real’ boy. I never felt like I fit in anywhere until I met a few odd ducks like me in college and med school. I still didn’t feel fully ‘real’ until I came out as gay a few years ago and got to know more queer people. I’m still not as much a part of the local LGBTQIA+ community as I’d like to be, but I try. Well, mostly I write checks,” he admits.
“Is that why you got divorced?” Ed asks.
“Partly” says Stede. “One night, after the children were in bed, Mary asked me for the thousandth time why I was a million miles away, and I blurted out that I was gay! First, we learned that we both had a thing for Karl Urban. Then she confessed that she’d been sleeping with Doug, her painting instructor, ever since Louis had started preschool. We had a good laugh, and then a good cry, and now we’re all much happier with our lives. Even the children are remarkably well-adjusted.”
“Sounds pretty real to me, mate,” says Ed.

Pete knocks on the window above the kitchen sink and waves; and Lucius gives a little finger wave back. Stede waves, too, and turns back to see the dreamy look on Lucius’ face. Then Lucius’ expression turns serious.
“Stedey B., do you love him? REALLY love him? I know this is a lot to absorb, but you have to make a decision, the sooner the better.”

Stede is standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes. Ed walks up to him and wraps his arms around Stede’s waist and rests his chin on Stede’s shoulder, as he had the night before, only this time, Ed can feel Stede’s back against his chest, and he can smell Stede’s hair.
This time, Stede can feel Ed pressed against his back and Ed’s hair tickling his neck. Stede shuts off the faucet and takes off his rubber dish gloves. He leans back into Ed’s warmth. “Were you with me last night, Ed? I thought maybe you were there; I thought maybe I could feel you. Was I imagining it?”

Ed follows Dr. Bonnet on his rounds, visiting an assortment of orthopedic patients, but when the doctor goes back to his office and busies himself with paperwork, Ed finds himself drawn back to room 1717. He enters without opening the door. The patient is sitting up in bed, channel surfing. He’s in his late 20s, with short brown hair and unusually long sideburns. He has accessorized his baby blue hospital gown with a jaunty red scarf.
The patient sighs and sets down the remote. “I can’t see you, but I know you’re there,” he says, speaking with a British accent. “What I don’t know is why you’re here.” His voice rises an octave. “Wait, I’m not dying, am I? I don’t want to spend eternity in a fucking hospital johnny!”

Stede pulls up to the bus stop a few minutes later in his rental car. “Hop in.” Ed is so glad to see him, he nearly bursts into tears. It takes Ed a few moments to figure out how to fold himself into the passenger seat of the low-slung coupe.

He starts to say something, but Stede stops him. “Can we wait until we get to the cabin? The roads are very winding, and I want to have this conversation without any distractions.”

“Buttons!” exclaims Ed. “Do you know Lucius?”
“Tall fellow? Big sideburns? Fell a few years back? Oh, aye, I ken the lad.” Buttons leans in and sniffs at Ed, then sticks out his tongue to taste the air. “Ye must be fresh out o’ the sky. Fell last night, did ye? I thought I smelled a newbie. How are ye managin’ so far?”

“Ed, what am I going to do?” Stede thinks, as he drops his arms down to his sides. “I can’t sleep; I can’t read; I can’t think of anything besides you and what you told me tonight. I’m trying to understand, really, I am, but I just can’t wrap my head around it.” Stede runs his hand through his already disheveled curls.

“Sam and I make sense together. We match. You and I… I just don’t know. I can’t decide what to do. I can’t think straight and make sense of all this unless I get some sleep.” Stede hangs his head. His internal voice grows softer. “I shouldn’t have run off tonight, but I panicked. I should’ve stayed and listened and tried to understand. I’m sorry Ed. I’m so sorry.”
