yknow i can easily imagine a steddyhands situation where ed and stede have completely vanilla sex and love it bc they don’t have to perform or worry abt their sex “roles” and oftentimes they don’t even do penetration, but their separate relationships w izzy are like full kink dynamics
Dec 9, 2025 23:15separate but related thought: ed taking a break from kink and BDSM bc it got weird and unhealthy for him, but stede and izzy are still into doing it and he doesn’t wanna be left out so he’s immediately there with snacks and rags and cuddles and blankets afterward
over-the-top, possibly hypomanic, trying-to-get-better and making a little bit of a show of it ed is so goddamn cute to me
