Summary
“Stede,” Ed asks, when they’re eating dinner with the rest of the crew.
“Mm-hmm?” Stede hums, focused downward on Ari, trying and failing to get him to eat a bit of bitter melon. He’s not going to win, Ed already knows. Kid’s got too strong a sweet tooth, even without teeth.
Offering Ari a tiny, squashed-up bit of his own orange, enjoying the grin and shriek of joy he gets when Ari snatches it up and shoves it into his mouth, Ed asks, “Am I doing a good job so far?”
“Of what, darling?” Stede asks, still only half-paying attention. To Ari, he says, “Well, you like that, don’t you?”
Ari shrieks again. Ed gives him a little bit more orange.
“Being a dad,” Ed clarifies.
Stede actually lifts his head, then, and seems to process what Ed’s said, now that he’s finished saying it. His light eyebrows lift, fine face crinkling, and he says, “Of course you are, Ed.”
or: seven tattoos ed got for his family, and one tattoo he got from his family!

Summary
There’s no point in addressing the letters to any Ed - there isn’t any Ed aboard the ship, he tells himself. Ed is long gone.
“Not Bl-” he hiccups, “Blackbeard!”
“What’s this about Blackbeard?” A tinny voice pierces his hearing. Suddenly, Blackbeard is reeling back, then stumbling forward, and grabbing whatever he can of the cell door. Between the rock of the boat and the liquor in his belly, he wonders if he might puke.
The cell door- I’m in the fucking brig, he realizes.
Of course, right as he pulls his head up, long curls curtains in front of his dark, swollen eyes, the lightning flashes. Stede is staring up at him from the corner of the brig cell. He’s slipping and gliding down, like a graceful, drunk tentacle, due to the weight of reality being too much on his soul to continue standing.
