dotytakethisdownFor what it's worth, I know a lot of people have sticking points with season two, but I loved it. I wish they'd had more episodes so the end pacing wasn't rushed and fuck Zaslav personally for the fact that we're never going to see how it's meant to end.

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet
I'm weirdly not sure what to say here. I love these two. Both iterations of "You wear fine things well" (the one from season two has been my phone background ever since). Ed teaching Stede how to fight and Stede teaching Ed how the other half lives. In the immortal words of Stede Bonnet, "Just have fun with it."
Prompts:
If you'd told me after season one that I'd be sitting here requesting not one but two Izzy ships, I'd have thought we were in the Twilight Zone. Season two really changed his whole world--and mine. The "I have love for you" killed me. I really love the way Izzy's relationship with Stede progresses. Teaching him how to be a pirate and Izzy just randomly hanging out in Stede's rooms.
I'd love a world where Izzy lives and they get to build a relationship among the three of them. It can be a true triad or Ed can be in a relationship with both Ed and Izzy while Stede and Izzy remain platonic.
Israel Hands/Lucius Spriggs
The indirect kiss when Izzy takes the cigarette out of Lucius's mouth, smokes it, and puts it back in his mouth is something that's stuck with me far longer than it probably should. I feel like Izzy has a lot to learn from Lucius, in terms of Lucius being so comfortable with who he is.
Archie/Oluwande Boodhari/Jim Jimenez
These three! I adored Jim and Olu's relationship in season one and I'm a little sad that they're time apart disrupted the momentum and we didn't really get to explore what they are to each other now. I like the way Jim and Archie support each other during the Dark Times and I'd like to see how the three of them could build a relationship together.
I'm open to either Jim dating both Oluwande and Archie or all three of them dating each other. Oluwande's only really known Archie for about five minutes in comparison to how long he's known Jim, so I'm intensely curious over how that would pan out.
Archie/Oluwande Boodhari/Ching Shih | Zheng Yi Sao/Jim Jimenez
Officially adding this to the list since I'm never going to get to see how Zheng fits into the canon group. I'm open to really any configuration of dating within the polycule. I feel like Zheng would have no idea what to do with Archie but I feel like Archie would very much know what she wants to do with Zheng.

Prompts:
- Post-canon Ed and Stede building their inn and all the trials and tribulations that involves. Stede presumably has enough financial knowledge to run an estate, but what about getting a business off the ground?
- Mary and Doug coming to visit with the kids once the inn's ready for actual guests
- Open door scenes of their first time
- Alternate first times or later times. I love all interpretations of Stede having sex for the first time with someone he really loves.
- Stede and Ed dancing. We were robbed during Calypso's Birthday
- Ed tells Stede about his mother
