You know what really warms my heart about the innkeepers idea - the softness, the talking, I mean imagine these men finally getting to talk for hours about themselves and their pasts and figure things out together and just lay under the stars next to each other speaking earnestly because they can finally be vulnerable knowing they'll be loved just as they are, and making love softly and without all the despair of the first time, and Ed gets to be all domestic as he always wanted to, and Stede gets to see a face of married life he hasn't seen before, and yes I know if we get a S3 they won't stay innkeepers forever and it's surely gonna be really fun and they'll probably mess up at some point but just for a moment they get to slow down and allow themselves to be soft without having to fight for their lives every other day and I just find this so heartwarming :') they deserve it so much
I remember saying before the season even aired that by ofmd logic it'd make perfect sense for ed to find stede's letter but I had no idea how right I was and how insane that moment would make me feel
Dear Ed,
I long for you. Every day we spend apart feels like an eternity. I know you don't wanna hear from me, but I write these letters daily, hoping one will reach you. And I know we're not through. I can feel it in my soul. A love like ours can't disappear in an instant. We're joined to one another. Intertwined. We wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.
Stede and Ed in Our Flag Means Death season 2.
I know we're not through. A love like ours can't disappear in an instant. We're joined to one another. Intertwined. We wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.
Man shoutout to Stede fucking Bonnet I am so proud of him. Going from having to ask his wife what being in love feels like, to writing the most earnest and saccharine love letters in bottles. Every day. “I long for you.” “Intertwined.” “We wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.” Kissing them before throwing them into the sea. Every day. He became the world’s biggest romantic dreamboat and he is exactly what Ed “I’m afraid I’m unlovable” Teach deserves. The classic Stede move of “I don’t know how to do this, but once I learn how to do it my own way, I’m going to completely reinvent what it means and it’s going to change lives for the better”
i can feel it in my soul. a love like ours can't disappear in an instant. we're joined to one another. intertwined. we wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.
