[ID: A digital drawing made to look like a selfie of Ed and Stede at pride. Stede’s smiling in a smoldery way, wearing rainbow aviator sunglasses and an unbuttoned teal shirt with rainbow stripes. Ed is smiling widely, eyes crinkled, wearing a purple tshirt and a trans flag tied around his shoulders like a cape. Ed has on rainbow eyeliner, small pink, blue, and purple heart stickers on his right cheek, and a trans flag in facepaint on his left cheek. Stede has a matching trans flag on his right cheek. Behind them is a blurred background of buildings, blue sky, and various rainbow flag decorations. There’s an overlay on the image to give it a rainbow light leak effect at the left and right edges.]
Ed is just. He’s so happy. He’s fucking THRILLED to be back together with his boyfriend. It’s got him saying nearly incoherent shit in a room full of people. He’s rambling about cats in a life or death situation. That man is delirious with happiness after a lifetime of suffering.
