    Summary

    Ed looks down at himself. He’s dressed in soft clothes. He recognizes Stede’s breeches and linen shirt from the first day. White stockings and no shoes. The black cravat is tied loosely around his neck.

    “Edward.”

    Ed looks up. It’s Stede, standing not far from the bed nook, wearing one of his fancy teal suits and smiling softly, his eyes sparkling in the low light of the lamps.

    Ed wants to scream. He wants to throw up. Or hide. He wants to stab Stede in the guts.

    He doesn’t do any of that. Instead, he rushes into Stede’s arms, which wrap around him tightly. He buries his face in Stede’s shoulder as he kisses the top of Ed’s head.

    “I missed you,” Ed says.

    “I missed you, too. I’m here now. Shh, I’m here.

    It’s a dream. No way in hell this is real. But Ed doesn’t care.

    ~~~~~

    During his Kraken Era, Ed finds a magic ring that shows him visions of Stede. As the days pass and his sadness grows, Ed tries to figure out how he can make the visions permanent.

    One way or another, Ed can't live like this anymore.
