Sleepy morning Ed has Stede Tunnel Vision until he has his seven sugars.
(ID in alt and under cut)
ID: 1. Full body shot of Stede sitting on the couch in the captains quarters, dressed in a waistcoat, cravat, and breeches. He smiles, leaning forward to set down his tea cup on the coffee table as Ed staggers in at the edge of the frame. Stede says, “Oh! Good morning, Ed!”
2a. Reverse shot shoulders up of Ed in a nightshirt, hair messy and still looking half asleep. Stede continues off screen: “Come take a seat!” Ed thinks to himself, “Seat?” 2b. Second smaller shot of Ed looking down, noticing something. 2c. A close up of Stede’s lap from panel 1, colors inverted and all the lines gone liquid and wobbly as Ed’s sleepy eyes zoom in. He thinks triumphantly, “Seat!” With a pink heart.
3. Full body shot of Stede on the couch, rearing back in surprise as Ed, exclaiming “Don’t mind if I do!” plops directly down onto his lap. Ed is wearing small cloth shorts under his hiked-up nightshirt and has both bare legs folded on either side of Stede and both arms wrapped around his neck, face buried in the crook of his shoulder opposite the viewer. Stede’s pink and panicked expression is in the forefront, hands raised as if trying to avoid touching Ed’s legs.
4. Zoom out to reveal Olu, Lucius, and Buttons sitting on the other couches around the coffee table, which holds Stede’s cup and a teapot. Olu is lounging on the left, turned sideways with one leg folded up and one elbow on the backrest. His other hand is holding a cup of tea and he is grinning teasingly at Stede and Ed. Lucius is on the right, one leg folded over the other, and continues writing in Stede’s journal as he smirks over at his captains. Buttons sits beside him stock-still and staring. Ed, still slumped over Stede in a loose embrace, begins to snore. Stede’s face continues to get redder and his hands fly around nervously as he stutters “Ed, Ed! Um, wake up, darling! Ed!”

if i stare at stede for too long my eyes literally become heart-shaped and all i wanna do is lay on his lap while he reads stories,,,,, is this too much to ask for????
You ever think about how Ed almost definitely never said Stede’s name in Archie’s presence so she likely heard about him from the rest of the crew? So the impression of him being taller and more muscle-y likely came from them, not Ed?
