    Summary

    "Waking up with Stede - after Stede - feels warm. Comfortable. Safe."

    The morning after Calypso's Birthday, Ed wakes up and reminisces about the night before. He knew Stede would be different from anyone he'd ever been with. He had no idea how disarming that would be.

    Summary

    Can we take it slow? Ed had asked, and he’d meant it.
    I think last night was a mistake, he'd said, and at the time he meant that too.
    But he didn't mean let's take it slow forever and he didn't mean all sex is a mistake and he definitely didn't mean to find himself alone with Stede in their rickety soon-to-be-inn, sleeping in his arms every night and not getting laid.

    It's driving him out of his mind. And he intends to make that very much Stede's problem.

    Summary

    Ed’s at the door, and that makes it easier. Ed makes it easier. Stede barely hears whatever it is he says in the entryway, he’s too focused, too concerned with turning the hour into something else. Because he can’t stand if all today becomes is the first day he’s taken a life. There has to be more, there has to be something else, he isn’t supposed to feel like this.


    Stede is trying very hard to not think about what he's just done.
