Title card for "dreaming in technicolor" by
InNeedofDonuts and That_Mothra. The backdrop is an amusement park at sunset.

Summary:
The roller coaster was a towering structure, especially for a scrawny little girl like Ed had been. She would crane her neck to see the whole thing, stunned silent by the glittering lights adorning the rail and the joyful screams from the passengers zooming past her eyes.

She wanted nothing more than to run to the operator lady and beg her to let her ride it. But she was glued to her spot, nervous and a tiny bit scared to take on the challenge.

Then a girl collided right into her, scared but clearly trying to be brave. Ed took her hand. Maybe they could try to be brave together.A snippet from dreaming in technicolor:

"Ed?" Stede asks, almost breathless, and oh, how Ed has missed hearing Stede call her name. 

"Hi, Goldilocks," Ed says, the old nickname rolling easily off her lips. Stede beams, a smile brighter than the fucking sun blooming on her face.

"Oh my god, it really is you!” Stede says, and Ed is pretty sure there are tears in both of their eyes. 

Stede reaches out her hand to pull her down into the cart. Ed takes it. Of course she fucking takes it. Could never even consider resisting.

The roller coaster starts slow, but Ed knows it won't be long until they gain speed. The structure is situated right next to the beach and Stede suddenly pulls her hand out of Ed's grip to point at a seagull circling the pier. Ed laments the lost of Stede's hand but she doesn't get a single moment of sadness because Stede, the beautiful fucking lunatic, cups her hands in front of her mouth, and squawks.

Ed stares at her for a split second before she busts out laughing, already exhilarated even though the ride has barely started.

β€œStede, what the fuck?” 

β€œI'm a seagull!!” she crows, and fucking hell, Ed missed this, she missed the way Stede could make her laugh and the glint in her eyes that shine when she's being mischievous and the dimples that decorate her pretty little face when she smiles. Ed missed her.
