Summary
“Could you, maybe, tell us a bedtime story? You know.” Pete shrugged. “For old time’s sake.”
Stede huffed, smiling. A bedtime story. He couldn’t think of anything, he wasn’t sure he would anymore. His mind could barely focus on anything aside from his fuck-ups, he didn’t think he could pay attention to a story enough to retell it.
And the voices… he wouldn’t do them justice.
“Not tonight, no.” He sagged. “Maybe tomorrow.”
OR
In which the crew of the Revenge comes back to their ship only to be kept as prisoners. They try their best to cope (and so does Blackbeard)

Summary
Stede waits until he can hear the loud stomps of strangers coming down the steps to the lower decks. Then he opens the tiny metal door in the wall and leans forward to press his mouth to the circular opening.
“Who dares,” he coos, drawing out the vowels, “disturb my slumber?”
Someone shouts. Others follow. The noises all carry and echo throughout the ship without an identifiable source and distort until they’re unrecognizable, wordless howls in the walls.
“Get out!” Stede shouts. “Get out while you still can!”
And then Black Pete begins to giggle, so Stede has to replace the cover and halt the operation entirely. “Really, Pete,” he hisses, “please be professional.”
(A post-season one fix it, sort of, where Stede becomes the pirate captain he was always meant to be and Blackbeard isn't fond of having a rival.)

Summary
When you’re trying to come up with a plausible scenario for how they’ll resolve their issues, and your brain screams “PUT THEM IN A GET-ALONG SHIRT”.
Or: Stede has a perfectly good plan to win Ed back. The crew have a Plan B.

Edward Teach does in fact eat soap. Stede isn’t very keen on letting them.
