The more I rethink my childhood the more I'm amazed that my mother didn't just punt me into the sun

So I was just reminded of the "Works for spiders, works for men" line and oh my god there are going to be so many fucking spiders in that tiny decrepit shack of theirs.
Ed is going to wake up, probably the morning after the Revenge leaves, see a giant spider in the kitchen, and seriously reconsider going back to pirating. He's not gonna do it, but he's definitely going to think about it.
(Stede is tender-hearted and would prefer not to kill them. But it is a tropical island, and they're never going to run out. Besides, they scare Ed, and that's reason enough.)

At Eddie’s blood-curdling scream, Steve breaks into a sprint upstairs.
“What happened?” is out of his mouth before he even enters the room.
Eddie’s shivering, looking like he’s about to retch, but he answers, “It fucking touched me.”
He’s pointing to the floor where a small spider is skittering away.
Steve feels his shoulders drop, all the fight melting away.
“You- you’re afraid of spiders?” Steve asks a little bit incredulously because, “Seriously?”
“Yes, Steven, I’m afraid of spiders. Laugh it up,” Eddie says with a pout.
“I’m not laughing,” Steve says, biting back his smile.
“You definitely are. Can you get him?” Eddie asks, eyes still trained on where the spider has stilled on the floor.
“Get him?”
“Dispose of him however you like- just remove him from my sight, please,” Eddie says with a full-body shudder as the spider starts moving again.
There's an empty glass on the dresser so he grabs that and one of Eddie’s get well soon cards so he can catch it.
“Not the- ope, you already got it,” Eddie says as he scoops the spider up.
“He’s harmless,” Steve says stepping closer since Eddie's closer to the door.
He laughs as Eddie shrieks.

I hope the spiders in my house know I bear them no ill will I'm just biologically wired to experience revulsion I know they're good lil guys and the screaming is secondary to the trying to gently scoot them outside
