Stede was literally grinning like a mad scientist as he watched rich people turn on each other and set the ship on fire. Of course, Ed would fall madly in love with him, Stede’s insane.

The way Stede definitely notes Ed playing with the piece of silk earlier on, and only after the party--after he sees firsthand how badly Ed yearns for soft, lovely things in his life and how hurt he is by being made to feel he isn't worthy of them--does he mention it. Deliberately calls attention to it, handles it with care, folds it into a graceful shape and tucks it into Ed's pocket.
If I were going to put on my lit student hat I would say the piece of red silk is Ed's heart. It's soft and delicate and torn around the edges, and he keeps it hidden away because it doesn't belong to this harsh world he lives in.
But Stede sees it. Stede recognizes it for what it is. Stede refutes the idea that being old and worn makes it less valuable, quite the opposite. Stede holds it gently, treats it carefully, tucks away the torn bits and puts it proudly on display. Stede tells Ed his soft heart is a fine thing and that he wears it well.
So of course at the end, when Stede leaves and Ed is at his lowest, when he doesn't want to feel anymore because it hurts, he lets the wind and sea carry his soft heart far away.

the parallel between ed letting stede fix his beard and ed flinching away at the party because someone showed real tenderness for him instead of just awe??? thinking

this is perfect and in chronological order, and i am begging people to listen to it because it did, in fact, take forever to put together
