Tell me about your Baz fic please!!!! 👀🖤

Ah! Fellow Baz fan!😉 Certainly. 💕 Can’t have too much of dear ol’ Bazzy.

It’s gonna start out a lil angsty like my other Baz fics.. They’re on an outing and his plush Bunny gets injured (an ear gets ripped off😧). So Baz is sad about his broken bunny and scared that the crew will now think of him as careless with his possessions.

Of course it all ends happily. Haven’t decided if Bunny stays ripped like that (because you can also love ‘broken’ things🥰) or they mend it somehow. Leaning more toward the first option tbh..

Anyway! You get a looooong snippet 😉

Baz is tired. Tired, sleepy, weary, fatigued. Exhausted too! At the brink of unconsciousness even. He stretches in front of the beautifully carved mirror, swaying his hips from side to side. Almost like a dance. Sometimes he dances to Frenchie’s music, he thinks and smiles alongside the melodious memories.

There’s a knock on the door before Stede enters with a beige shirt thrown over one arm and a bright smile to rival Baz’s own. “Ready for our big day on land?”

Baz nods and yawns. He tries hard to stifle it, but finds himself unable to. Stede knows perfectly well what has made him so sapped of energy. He chooses to focus on the task of getting Baz set for the on-shore outing.

“Where did I put that hairbrush?” Stede asks aloud, even if he already knows the answer. On top of the dresser. Always on top of the dresser, he mouths silently.

“I’m afraid most of the crew is busy helping Roach take stock of our remaining edible provisions in the galley, so your hair will have to suffer under my administration. Not to worry, though! This isn’t my first time doing braids.” He opens a drawer and finds two scrunchies.

Another poorly concealed yawn.

Stede tuts as he carefully brushes through Baz’s long hair. Izzy had already admonished Ed for staying up too late and telling Baz and his eager ears tall tales all night, but it certainly cannot hurt to warn Ed once more. Perhaps twice. Dear Baz lacking sleep and being unprepared for their shopping trip on land simply will not do anyone any good.

It’s important not to make Baz feel guilty about it however. None of this is his fault. Who wouldn’t get caught up in stories about Ed’s exciting seafaring adventures? And it doesn’t matter if Izzy disclaims half of them as fabrications of Ed’s vivid imagination, he is a gifted narrator nonetheless! Stede himself had often been enraptured for hours on end, doing little else except lovingly observing the dramatic theatrics when Ed was in the right mood for storytelling.

There is, quite clearly, a time and a place for everything and yesterday just wasn’t it.

Of course Stede feels the need to allow Baz and a member of the crew to stay behind on the ship so Baz can catch up on some much needed sleep, but everyone is needed on land today and Baz has been looking forward to going to the homemade crafts market for weeks on end now. Only his sixth outing overall and Stede will hate for him to miss it because of poor planning on Ed’s part.

No, he shakes his head at himself. I can’t blame Ed for wanting to have a little fun with Baz, even if the timing was rather inconvenient.

“There we are.” He finishes the second braid and displays it over Baz’s shoulder, just the way he prefers it. Baz holds up Bunny in front of the mirror so he can help approve of Stede’s skills with a hairbrush.

“Bunny likes it too? Lucky me! Too bad he only has two ears, if he had three we could also braid them. You’d match each other perfectly.”

Baz jumps on the spot and hides his face in Stede’s shoulder like he always does when he thinks it’s all getting a bit silly. Stede has learned it’s Baz’s way of showing he’s giggling.

“No?” Stede laughs heartedly. “We’ll leave his bunny ears as they are then. Much better like that, I agree.”
