    Summary

    Ed's minding his business when the new neighbor's kid comes around holding a human puppet. It's creepy as hell, but as soon as the kid's father rounds the corner, Ed doesn't mind.

    ETA: Podfic available here from Kninjaknitter my darling dearest


    “Hello,” says the strangest voice Ed’s ever heard, jolting him out of his reverie, sending his heart speeding into chaos.

    He opens his eyes and he’s staring straight at a stuffed animal in the shape of a human person. It is bald with a tiny hat and too-big eyes and it wears a blue shirt and a name tag that says Jeffy in the sort of scrawl normally reserved for words written in blood.

    A puppet, he realizes several seconds beyond when it would have been appropriate to respond.

    Summary

    “S-Stede…” Other Ed stutters out, staring at Ed… at himself. Staring at each other. “What is… oh what the fuck.” His expression turns incredulous. “What kinda magic shit is this?”

    “M-magic?” Stede says, trembling, looking between the two of them. “Edward, do you know what’s happening here?”

    “No,” both Ed’s answer, and Stede’s mouth shuts with a click.

    Or: Ed washes ashore right outside an Inn. Inside, he finds a future he never knew he could wish for.
