    Summary

    Sometime after Ed comes back to life, he learns to stop fearing the monsters on the map.

    -----

    “I was scared.”

    Ed raises his gaze to Stede’s, somehow not surprised to find Stede ready and willing to catch his eyes and hold them as surely as he does Ed’s hand and his heart and his fucking sanity. “Of me?” Ed asks.

    “Of a lot of things,” Stede says, tracing his fingertips up Ed’s fingers to his fingernails. “Of my feelings, of my failures, of everything I was leaving behind and everything I could gain. But no, dearest, I was never scared of you.”
