Summary
Stede finds the house. When he comes back to their room at the inn, he won’t rest—won’t let Ed rest—until Ed’s seen it. His eyes are bright in that way that makes Ed’s guts feel scooped out with a spoon. So Ed hurries into his boots and goes with him.
The once-white paint is stripped by weather and wear, a portion of the roof is caved in, and the spokes of the wraparound porch are all gnawed through by animals.
Ed gazes up at the broken windows and the birds that have built nests there. At his side, Stede is waiting, rocking back and forth on his heels.
"It’s perfect," says Ed.
***
Or: Ed and Stede leave the island together, and they don’t look back.

Summary
Dear Stede,
I long for you as well. Long for you big time. You’re fast asleep in bed right now with your adorable face all smushed into the pillow, I can hear you snoring and everything, and I still long for you.
I long to read every letter you wrote, you madman. What the fuck do you mean daily? It was ninety two whole days – did you know that? Ninety two fucking letters, are you kidding? Ninety two bottles? Think of the fish! (Nah, fuck ‘em, it’s great that you did that.)
Lunatic. I love you.
(or: Ed writes Stede thousands of lovely letters – even though they see each other every day)

Turns out messages in a bottle are an excellent form of exorcism.
