Summary
Stede’s been picking up on it for a while, Ed’s hesitance to share when he’s upset, or worried, or feeling hurt. They’ve managed to talk a few things out by now, namely that they’d give pirating a break, that they wanted to do it together.
That had been huge, actually. Still – he can’t help but feel that Ed’s walking on eggshells, as though the wrong words might spook Stede into fleeing.
Deep down Stede knows he won’t, neither of them will, but yeah – he knows the feeling. They’ve still got a lot of talking to do.
Just needs a little elbow grease.
“I love you,” he whispers, sliding even closer, lightly carding his fingers through Ed’s hair.
The forced smile relaxes into a real one, warm and pleased. “Love you.”
Or:
Ed and Stede have some work to do on the inn…among other things. They’re up for the challenge.

Summary
—
Zheng smiles, looking between Ed and Stede. “We could use your help. We have a pretty solid lead on Prince Ricky.”
Ed shifts in his seat uncomfortably. “I don’t know, I’m pretty out of practice, and I can’t just leave the inn –”
“Oh, sorry,” Zheng cuts him off. “Yikes, this is awkward. I actually meant him.”
She points at Stede, whose eyes go wide as saucers. “Me?”
—
Ed’s happy in retirement, living a quiet life with Stede while running their inn – at least until they receive some unexpected guests. The Revenge Crew has a lead on finding Prince Ricky, but they need the help of a seasoned aristocrat to get more information. There’s an obvious choice; and Ed’s his somewhat reluctant plus-one.
– Or –
Zheng pulls Ed and Stede out of retirement for a night of high-class espionage.
