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.

“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—”

Summary
Stede finds the house. When he comes back to their room at the inn, he won’t rest—won’t let Ed rest—until Ed’s seen it. His eyes are bright in that way that makes Ed’s guts feel scooped out with a spoon. So Ed hurries into his boots and goes with him.
The once-white paint is stripped by weather and wear, a portion of the roof is caved in, and the spokes of the wraparound porch are all gnawed through by animals.
Ed gazes up at the broken windows and the birds that have built nests there. At his side, Stede is waiting, rocking back and forth on his heels.
"It’s perfect," says Ed.
***
Or: Ed and Stede leave the island together, and they don’t look back.

Summary
“Hey,” Eddie says, leaning back against the kitchen table. “You’ve been quiet lately."
It almost feels like—like nerves, or some shit, which doesn’t make any sense, because the symbiote never had trouble calling him a pussy and a loser before it all almost ended.
Or: Eddie and his symbiote learn to be together.

Summary
He returned with the book, tapping it on Ed’s leg as he reclaimed his seat in the chair. “I’ve always been rather partial to a sonnet, myself. Though they’ve often left me feeling somewhat melancholy.”
They’d often left him filled with longing, left him feeling empty, and strange, as if he were missing something vital to the human experience. He loved them, still. Pain was the price of beauty, after all.
Stede glanced up at Ed, smiling at the effortlessly lovely picture he made, backlit by a dozen candles. “Although, I wonder, now, if it might be different.”
Ed shifted on the arm of the chair, throwing his own arm over Stede’s shoulders to peer at the book. “Different, how?”
Without thinking, Stede bumped his forehead against Ed’s shoulder, joyful honesty bubbling out of him like seafoam. “Well, with you, of course. Everything is different with you.”
A deep, thoughtful line appeared between Ed’s brows as he examined Stede’s face. “Is it?”

Summary
“You made your choice,” Edward insists. “You don’t get to unmake it, Stede. What’s done is done, don’t you know?”
“Ah. I learned that lesson rather recently, yes,” Stede says, very softly.
The expression on his face isn’t fair, Ed thinks. It hurts to look at, all soft and yearning and difficult to resist. The kind of look that makes him angry because of how it also makes him weak. Ed clears his throat, twitches again. Locks his knees tight and clamps his jaw shut, glaring at Stede. The ship keeps sinking beneath them.
“What I also learned,” Stede murmurs, shifting his weight forward. His empty hand comes up, palm open and reaching. “Is that I can be brave. I can be stubborn. I can fight for the life that I want so very, very badly, Edward Teach.”
Ed’s mouth dries. “Y-yeah? And what’s that?”
Stede smiles crookedly. “You.”

Summary
"Thrown out already?" Geralt asks, and sees the bard shaking his head from the corner of his eye.
"Hardly! But a wise bard knows when to leave the audience wanting more."
"I've never met one."
"One what?"
"A wise bard," he says, and glances over to see the bard's mouth flapping indignantly.
"I -- am going to let that go, because you're right, where are my manners." He ducks in front of Geralt as they step onto solid ground, forcing him to halt, and gives him a bow, no less graceful for being quickly executed. "Jaskier, troubadour, poet -- and barker -- at your service."
__________________________________
Geralt assumes the bard will wander away of his own accord. Eventually.
It takes a while to realize that's the last thing he wants.

“You’d like us to be intimate then?” Geralt inquired earnestly. Jaskier nearly choked on his spit.
“We’re married, aren’t we?”
“Plenty of married couples would rather clean gutters than see each other bare. And you have that tavern girl of yours, from the village-- hush, that’s not an admonishment. I just assumed you’d been… put up for auction, when a groom was requested in the place of a bride. That you had no earnest, physical interest in men. Or if you did, that I was out of your age bracket. Which is acceptable. I have less than no interest in traumatizing you, or anyone, with my attentions.”
It was beginning to sink in for Jaskier that maybe, just maybe, he had in fact been joined in holy matrimony with a perfectly lovely man.

Five Times Jaskier thought he was a Drunken Thief (and one time he realised he wasn't) by notebooksandlaptops

Summary
Jaskier could admit to it; he was starting to develop a problem.
He wouldn’t call it a drinking problem, exactly. He’d seen men with that kind of sickness, who couldn’t function unless they had ale lingering on their lips, and he could happily go weeks without ever touching the stuff (even if he’d prefer not to – but life on the road with a Witcher didn’t always bring with it anything other than slightly-muddy water).
It was just that when he did drink, he tended to steal things.
He couldn’t help it! He’d tried to help it. But no matter how much he thought he could recount the nights they spent in taverns, he’d wake up in the morning to find some small thing in his pack; cleaning supplies for his lute, a tiny bottle of the whiskey he liked, a new fine silk shirt. He couldn’t remember taking them, but there was no other possible explanation. They were too tailored to his own desires to be some passing fancy slipping them in with his things and checking his coin purse confirmed that he’d not spent anything near the amount he should have done for some of the things he’d found.

Or, five times Jaskier thought that he was a drunken thief, and one time he realised he wasn't.
