    Summary

    Stede Bonnet’s life took an unexpected turn when he was arrested on two counts of first-degree murder.

    But the surprises didn't end there. His cellmate was the notoriously violent bank robber, Blackbeard.

    It would take all of their combined cunning, and quite a bit of luck, to formulate and execute an escape plan.

    But first, Stede thought, something really needed to be done about the quality of the prison uniforms.

    Summary

    Izzy is always the first one to arrive at the pub, signing off on shipments and taking stock, and if Edward shows up it will be just before last call, when Izzy is dead on his feet and can’t say no to a single thing. Truthfully, though, he rarely can.

    Every day starts and ends exactly the same way, until a particularly chatty history professor begins sharing his morning commute.

    Summary

    Three days later Ed is splashing about in the bath that Stede had drawn for him, letting Stede braid his hair into a fancy crown when he mumbles, “Say. This might sound crazy, properly daft in fact, but- did you ask Izzy to let you watch us?”

    “Er,” Stede says.

    “Because I- I don’t know about that, mate. The things we do down below…don’t know as I want you to see them. Probably best left down there, yeah?”

    Very gently, Stede pins Ed’s hair into place and then presses his fingertips in a fan along his scruffy cheeks, tipping his head back enough that Stede can kiss his forehead. “I disagree,” he murmurs. “In fact, I think it’s time to erase this separation, hm? No more above and below, in here or out there. I accept every part of you, Edward Teach, and that includes Blackbeard!”

    “Hm,” is all Ed responds with.

    Summary

    “Well you’ve gone and fucked it up now, mate.”

    “I beg your pardon?”

    “Fuckin' beg then, man, it's just ocean for miles.” Ed motions out to the waves, where there is no sign of any sort of ship, their small dinghy pulled far up on the sand. “I told you when the clouds look like seagulls you take fuckin' cover. Goddamn ocean mutinied me.”

    Summary

    “Let’s get him out of those wet clothes, then, hm?” Ed suggests.

    Stede hesitates, then draws backward to look into Izzy’s eyes, all bright and curious and concerned and tender and— Jesus motherfucking Christ—

    “Would that be something you wanted?” Stede asks him.

    Say it, say it, say it, Izzy tells himself. You’re better than this. You’re stronger than this. You want it. Fucking take it.

    “Yes,” Izzy tells him. “I’m— Yes, fuck, would you just—”
