Summary
When Stede comes back to Ed, he’s changed. He’s more confident, more sure of himself, more capable. While Ed struggles to understand who he is (Blackbeard? The Kracken? Edward?) and what his place is after all that has happened, Stede looks after him. Stede takes care of him. Stede tells him what to do, and Ed finds that he likes it—he likes Stede being in control.
One night, when he is alone in the captain’s quarters (earlier in the evening Stede was there, saying, Ed, come here and let me re-braid your hair—there are pieces coming loose everywhere) Ed thinks about Stede and considers the ways he’s changed, the ways he’s still the same, and gets the first erection he’s had in months that wasn’t morning wood. He touches himself in Stede’s old bed, thinks about Stede’s orders morphing into something else: Ed, drop your trousers. Ed, get on your knees. Ed, bend over and let me fuck you like a good boy. He comes with a shudder, shocked at the thoughts and how quickly they put him over the edge.
