the labor of their lips will overwhelm them by activevirtues
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
06 Apr 2023

Summary
O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.

Summary
He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how to say it. He didn’t want to hear what it was Ed thought of him, seeing him frozen astride the bowspirit like a child having his first ever go on a rocking horse. He didn’t know what to do, nor could he see a way out of it.
Stede jumped.

Summary
“Let’s make this fucker squirm,” Izzy said.
“I’ve got just the thing,” Ed replied, still watching that dimple as he hit an opening chord on the Stang. Then he grinned as half the crowd, including Posh Git, jumped half out of their skin.
“We’re ready on this one?” Ivan asked delightedly. “Fuck yeah, bruv!”
“Whatever you say, boss,” Izzy said, eyeing him in a way that was perhaps a little more distrusting than he would’ve expected out of his best friend for twenty fucking years, but ok. He shrugged, loosening his shoulders beneath his leather waistcoat, and counted off.

Summary
Wee John made a decision a long time ago to savor any joy he could snatch out of a life that so many people had warned him would be joyless. He knows the world is a harsh place. He’s had those lessons, and he learned them well. Joy, beauty, love, pleasure, friendship, curiosity - these have shown him that his continued existence is a triumph, and he makes a point to notice them when they happen.
The cool thing is that the rest of the crew seem to have come to the same conclusion, and help each other notice. So if he tells them, they’ll take it seriously. They will know what it means.
“You know,” John says abruptly as Stede and Blackbeard set the last of the Spanish galleon’s haul on the deck of the Revenge, “I’ve had a truly excellent day so far.”

Summary
“You want us to capture him at Spanish Jackie’s,” Izzy says after a long moment, flat and disbelieving.
“He will face pirate justice,” Blackbeard says darkly. “For his – his many crimes.”
“Boss...” Izzy begins, and now his face is doing something else, and it’s even worse.
“His crimes against piracy, which as I stated just now are many, such as – such as –”
“You could send me to kill him,” Izzy suggests, and it’s almost gentle, which is the absolute worst thing.
“Pirate justice,” Ed hisses, trying for menacing. “Pirate crimes.”

Summary
“Oh, man. Did you… did you ask the sea for its gift while you were actually on the sea? …Mate.” The creature took a step toward Stede, then another, until Stede was backed up fully against the desk. “You didn’t read anything in the book but the spell, did you?”
“I - I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Stede squeaked, leaving dignity fully behind him. No wonder his apprentice had threatened so many times to leave him.
