Summary
Edward Teach is out for a midnight stroll when he stops in front of St. James Palace to light a cigarette. There's an oddly compelling guard standing sentry. Ed gets to talking to him, and it becomes a habit.
His lungs burn a little, and he blows the smoke out with a porny sort of moan and of course that’s when he notices that there’s a guard in the box, and that he’s blown smoke right into his face.
“Oh, fuck, sorry, mate,” he says, waving it away. Of course the guard doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t even flinch, just stares straight ahead, like Ed’s not there, waving his hands in the air like a madman. Only not quite like Ed’s not there. There’s an unmistakable twinkle in his eye. Huh.

Summary
Stede’s employees have decided to drag him along to a concert to cheer him up from his (supposedly) awful divorce. Instead, he finds himself anxious and overwhelmed, hiding out in a public restroom.
One conversation, a pair of earplugs, and a makeshift backstage pass later: Stede has found he’s captured the attention of the infamous rock legend Blackbeard.
Not that he’s complaining. It turns out that the man is absolutely lovely.
