    Summary

    Our saltwater solution reduces gravity’s pull by over 80%, ensuring you'll effortlessly stay afloat! We keep the water at a steady 36 degrees—matching your skin’s temperature. This blend of weightlessness and warmth blurs the lines between your body and the water, as your nerves can’t tell where you end and the surrounding environment begins.

     

    Weightlessness. Yeah. If anything’s gonna be Ed’s cure-all, it’s gotta be weightlessness, right?

    Ed’s carried around weight for most of his life. He’s tired. His muscles ache. His joints are all ground down to dust.

    Also - the word solution is right there. Which proves it.

    This is it. This is Ed’s solution.

    (Or: Ed's on a wellness journey for his fuckass brain. It's not going great. The guy at the float tank place is being way too nice about it. Please mind the tags!)

    Summary

    He ducks under the ridge of the skull, unclips his bow, slips an arrow into the housing, and creeps around until he has a decent view of the trail. The stranger has slowed, staring up at the leviathan as they approach, hands on their hips. Ed steps out into view, raises his bow, and pauses.

    The stranger, as unknown as he currently is, is cute.

    Hylian, most likely. A little shorter than Ed, but broad looking under his tunic and cloak, pack sticking up over the top of his head, and visibly stuffed with god-knows-what. There’s a physical map sticking out from one of his pockets, and leaves in his hair, and he’s clearly not been gifted with powers of observance, because Ed’s been aiming a bow at him for the best part of two minutes, and he still hasn’t noticed.

    And then, all at once, his gaze drops, and his eyes widen, and he all but screams.

    “I’M FRIENDLY!”

     

    or: what if Ed and Stede just happened to be citizens in the Kingdom of Hyrule? And what if they had a serendipitous meet cute at the Great Eldin Skeleton and then fell in love? Suspend your disbelief, because this is that fic.

    Summary

    Ed has resigned himself to the fact that he's not going to be getting a happy ending. He's bored with his art and unsure if he can be the kind of person he wants to be, and he's tired of trying and of waiting around to see if his life gets better. Just when he's started to plan on not being around for much longer, enter Stede Bonnet. It's still not easy to choose to live, but...with a little help, maybe Ed can give it a go.

    A fic about learning to love being alive, even after you've long since given up on it.
