Fics like Paper Ships

He holds the little boat in his hand before impulsively fishing the graphite from his robe’s inner pockets and writing FEAR across both sides of the bow of his little paper boat. He leans over the end of the docks and gently sets the boat in the calm water. It bobs and dips for a moment before finding its balance and floating away from the dock. Stede watches the pale paper boat sail away from him and begins to fold another. He takes his time, making sure the creases are sharp and folds sturdy, and soon he has another paper ship. This one is larger than the last, and much better formed, and Stede taps his graphite against the ship thoughtfully as he debates which personality defect to send into the blue. “Coming up with a name is the hardest part.” Stede gasps, head spinning to the other end of the dock. “Edward,” he breathes, tension easing out of his limbs in an instant. _______ Stede's thoughts keep him from finding sleep; he finds a way to get rid of them—one that helps him and Edward back to each other.
