Or Rita is a journalist and is on the verge of death so she asks Bellatrix to and her to not make her suffer anymore.

Summary
Stede is exactly where he left him, right in the middle of the room, frozen by the crackling fire.
After a moment of studying him, Ed says, “Stede,” softly, and closes the door, and Stede jumps. “Sorry.”
“No, it’s alright,” Stede replies. His eyes flicker over the place Ned had fallen, then lift to Ed when he turns. Landing on the first aid kit, he asks, “Should I— Would you like me to do your chest first?”
“Your throat’s still bleeding,” Ed tells him, and doesn’t add, ‘And your chest is still smoldering, and your face is still cut open, and I can still taste your burnt flesh in the back of my throat, and I can still see his lips on yours, and if I can’t put you back together with my own hands, I think I might just fall apart, too.’
He doesn’t add it, but he doesn’t need to. Stede hears the words even when left unspoken.

Summary
"Hey." Ed reaches across because it's the only thing that feels right. He grasps Stede's wrist and smoothes the pad of his thumb across his knuckles. Stede stops fiddling with his ring and looks up at him, wide-eyed. "This isn't Captain shit. This is God shit. Are you God?"
The room is blank with silence.
Gently, Ed repeats, "Are you God, Stede?"
Stede's voice is thin and high when he answers, "I'm not God."
"And is God here, in this room?"
Comically, Stede looks around like he might find God perched on the edge of his desk, or pulling books from his shelves to examine the spines.
"He's not," Stede concedes.
"That's right, mate. Stupid bugger doesn't associate himself with pirates."
Or: The Revenge has been becalmed for six days. Ed has bigger things to worry about, like sharks and being in love.

Summary
“There’s this rumour going around, Trix, and I don’t think you’re going to like it,” Lucius began, hesitatingly.
“Get on with it, Lucius,” was her reply, rolling her eyes because duh, obviously she wasn’t going to like it, that much was clear from the stares she’d been getting.
“Right, sorry,” he apologised, and wow, it must be bad because Malfoys as a rule did not apologise, ever, “It’s just that… people have been saying that you’re - um, that is that you and… right so, they’ve been saying that -”
“Oh honestly, Malfoy,” a new voice cut in, sliding into the seat beside Bellatrix.
It was a voice that Bellatrix desperately didn’t want to hear, but also didn’t think she could live without - she kept her focus on Lucius, who was now staring intently down at his poached eggs, eyes wide.
“They’ve been saying that we’re dating, Black,” said the voice calmly and Bellatrix’s head snapped to the left so quickly that her hair whipped into her face.
“What?” she asked, certain she’d heard wrong, staring into the green eyes of none other than Rita Skeeter.

Summary
Their lives continued, that fire still burning, and Rita was hopeful, perhaps somewhat naively. She had seen the signs, she wasn't an idiot, she could see that the thing between them had an edge to it. Rita liked that sharpness, that danger, she would never turn away from it, in fact she was much more likely to just lean further into it, to pierce herself on the blade, but that didn’t mean that she looked forward to the destruction that likely lay in the future, even as she knew it was inevitable.
And yet, Rita was hopeful that this could be something uncomplicated, simple, steadfast, solid, constant - something that she could have in her life for a long time to come. Looking back Rita supposed that in many ways this was true, because Bellatrix was definitely a central figure in her life, even after everything - Rita’s life had maybe always been Bellatrix’s life too, intrinsically linked, irrevocable, something uncomplicated in the fact that, despite it all, Rita could count on Bellatrix to occupy her thoughts, to guide her decisions, to take up space within her, not just in her heart and mind, Rita thought Bellatrix was probably in her very soul too.

Rita is an insane vengeful arsonist - yay??
