    Summary

    Stede signs himself up for his first long-haul voyage in response to a job listing that boasts "a soft onboarding with a taste of adventure."

    Instead, he finds a greenhouse in disrepair, a dead body, and a much more charismatic ship than advertised.

    ((No OFMD characters were harmed during the making of this fic. tbh this fic is way more pining and romance than it is scifi.))

    “I know,” Ed says, quick and, if Stede's not mistaken, a touch defensive. “'Course I know. I'm the smartest thing on this ship. I am this ship. Just curious 'bout your... expert opinion, I guess.”

    “Well, Ed, I'm hardly an expert.”

    “Aren't you?” Ed says, the slightest bristle to his tone.

    “I'm good with plants,” Stede concedes with a little sigh. “We understand one another.”

    That, and plants have always appreciated Stede better than any human ever has.
