Summary
"D’you need any help, love?" Stede asks. "Would you like me to touch you? Or just, hold you?"
"Mmm. Yeah."
"Which one, darling?"
Ed peaks over his shoulder. "Second one. The uh… the hold one."
He looks cautious, like he’s not sure he’s allowed to have this. It’s awakening something in Stede... the same something he gets with babies and small animals, where he wants to cry and swaddle them in every possible comfort and also explode. He doesn’t, though. Just, absoooorbs the energy back into himself, like some kind of Buddhist monk, and says, "Of course.'"

Set early post-S2. Stede wakes up to find Ed touching himself. Cue earnest, emotional sex.
