Post 1x05: The Best Revenge Is Dressing Well.
“Aah!” Ed couldn’t help it. The sharp opposition of sweet heat and careful hands to that brutal realignment was euphoric. Waves had begun to crash noisily against the hull outside. The noise was echoing, deep and arrhythmic. He felt like his whole body was this ship, and the waves were hitting at his windows, and it hurt, like being stabbed by someone who loved you.

Set after the 'you wear fine things well' scene in e05, when I read somewhere that Ed initially leans in intending to kiss Stede but backed down when Stede didn't reciprocate. This information hurt me and this fic is the direct result. Sweet, slow and descriptive.
