Summary
“You were right. When you said no one could be proud of me.”
Henry closes his eyes. The bed frame soaked up the fire's warmth, a compress pressed along his side. The flame sputters, cracks.
“I was angry. And I couldn’t have possibly meant it, when I know it’s not true.”

Summary
“Never had people ask before they touched me,” he muses as Stede mouths along his neck and shoulder.
Stede raises his head. “I spent too much of my life with people who didn’t care what I wanted,” he says.
“I spent too much time not caring what I wanted.”
Both hands sliding up to hold Ed’s face, Stede asks quietly, “What do you want, Edward?”
“Want to make you forget everything except how good you feel.” His tongue darts out to wet his lips. “Want you to fuck me.”
Yes, it's another take on Ed and Stede's first time at the end of Calypso's Birthday!

Summary
Can we take it slow? he’d asked.
And they had. For weeks, it’s been nothing but hand holding during strolls on the deck, curling up next to each other on the settee at the end of the day, perhaps a chaste yet lingering kiss before they bade each other goodnight. Ed has never been good at slow, but when it came to this, he’s been willing to give it a shot.
Which is why now that he finds himself in Stede’s bed, watching the muscles of his back ripple as he pulls the bed curtains closed, he feels—conflicted.
