Summary
Their happy customer lays out coins on the counter. “Oh! And where’s your partner, Godfrey?” they ask. “I wanted to thank him for stepping in when that fight broke out at the market this morning.”
Stede was just about to swan through the curtain and present himself, but he freezes when he sees Ed’s face drop. This aforementioned skirmish is news he may have neglected to share with him.

Stede is bored, so Ed takes him on a date that is most definitely a crime :)

Summary
“It’s a fixer upper. Good bones!” Stede fixed him with a smile that warmed him through.
If you had shown Ed this house a month ago - hell, even a week ago, he’d have told you that there was no way in hell he was going to live here. Put the time and effort into mending the gaping roof, patching and painting the walls, doing…whatever the hell else fixing a house required. But as he and Stede stepped inside, even as the rotten stench of some dying animal hit his nose, he intertwined his fingers gently with Stede’s.
It wasn’t just the house that Stede was talking about. Wasn’t just the house they were going to put work into. But Ed was ready.
Ed and Stede repair the seaside shack, and learn how to build a home along the way.

Summary
Healing isn't a linear process, old habits die hard, and sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. But with a little patience, and effort, and strategic Floor Time, Ed and Stede will find their way.
-----
Stede stops beside him, hand on the small of Ed’s back, and Ed leans into the touch, offers his cheek when he feels Stede leaning in. It’s such a tiny gesture, that buss on his beard, but Ed can’t actually remember the last time anyone thought to do it. Stede has softened Ed; Ed has allowed himself to be softened.
A year ago, if someone had told Ed he would be thinking about raising chickens, he’d have laughed himself to an early grave. Then again, a year ago, Ed expected to find himself on the wrong end of a cannon sooner or later, gone out the way of Calico Jack. Now he’s here, in a home he’s going to build with the man he loves beyond all reason, with nothing more pressing than how to fix a leaky roof or where to acquire a set of furniture not bitten with dry rot.
There are many things Ed wishes he’d done differently, but there are an equal number he wouldn’t change because they all led him here, to this kitchen on a sleepy morning, Stede’s warmth at his side.
