Summary
Anastrophe (noun): a rhetorical device; the inversion of the usual order of words or clauses.
In which Deckard Shaw is good with kids, Samantha Hobbs gets what she wants, Hattie Shaw is always right, and Luke Hobbs is along for the ride. Shaw and Hobbs do everything backwards, and the macho manly idiots would rather take a bullet than admit to having stupid fiddly little things like "feelings."

Summary
If there’s a truism in his profession, it’s that fear is a better bet than love. A man fears you, you both know where you stand. Love, though, love’s a right fucker. Steals your footing out from under you, leaves you dizzy and useless as a green-arsed cabin boy on his first day at sea. But he doesn’t want to be thinking about this tonight. That’s why he’s drinking.
(Four months later, Ed's on a bender in Nassau when Stede finally tracks him down.)

Summary
Lucius Spriggs: the unofficial – and involuntary – relationship counselor of The Revenge.
“Edward has something he needs to say to you, don’t you, Ed?”
Blackbeard shifts his weight. He can’t seem to meet Lucius’s eyes, which is all right with Lucius, given that the last time they made eye contact Lucius was tossed into the sea and nearly died.
“I’m,” Blackbeard says. He lets out a breath. “I’m sorry for trying to kill you. I was taking my emotions out on you instead of dealing with them in a healthy way.”

Summary
Cleave the pin (slang, 1595) To bring a man to orgasm.
It’s a sobering thought for someone facing middle age to wrestle with, this notion one might be less than appealing in bed, and while he’d always known he was no Don Juan, Stede thought himself perfectly adequate in the art of making love. But ‘perfectly adequate,’ when facing the prospect of reuniting with the man that may very well be the love of his life, feels (pathetic, mortifying, distressing) like a quandary.
