Summary
"D’you need any help, love?" Stede asks. "Would you like me to touch you? Or just, hold you?"
"Mmm. Yeah."
"Which one, darling?"
Ed peaks over his shoulder. "Second one. The uh… the hold one."
He looks cautious, like he’s not sure he’s allowed to have this. It’s awakening something in Stede... the same something he gets with babies and small animals, where he wants to cry and swaddle them in every possible comfort and also explode. He doesn’t, though. Just, absoooorbs the energy back into himself, like some kind of Buddhist monk, and says, "Of course.'"
--
Set early post-S2. Stede wakes up to find Ed touching himself. Cue earnest, emotional sex.

Summary
Ed's hair is falling into his face, damp with sweat, as he sniffles into the blanket around his shoulders. His nose has a little bit of a red tinge to it as if it’s irritated. His poor, poor nose.
“Oh,” Stede says, gently, like talking too loud will blow Ed and his sickly spirit right through the window. “Are you not feeling well?”
Ed looks up to him as he pulls the blanket tighter around his shoulders. There’s a haze over his eyes. Stede steps forward, intent on giving him a hug, squeezing away all his illness, when Ed steps back, shaking his head.
“I’m fine.” Ed says, through the scratchiest throat Stede has ever heard. “Get out of my business, man.” It stings, kinda. Stede loves being in his business.

Summary
It’s the summer of 1959, and classics professor Stede Bonnet is determined to become a new man. He’s made two monumental changes so far: he’s resigned his position at the University of Chicago, where he has taught for his entire career, and he’s left his wife Mary, to whom he has been married for nine years. Now he’s off to the only place in the United States where you can get a no-fault divorce: the deserts of Nevada. He’s checking in to a so-called Divorce Ranch just outside of Reno, where he’ll spend the requisite six weeks establishing residency. After that, it’s off to California to assume his new teaching position and his new life.
It's the summer of 1959. Ed Teach has been living in Reno since he was a teenager. He's a radio DJ, an artist, a handyman and a fixture of the community, particularly popular in the underground gay nightlife scene that is still recovering from the brutal vice raids of the McCarthy era.
