    Summary

    “Whatever happens I swear to all that is holy, I will never hate you,” Kent vowed. Then he kissed Alexei before the other man could promise the same thing—because Kent knew who he was, he knew what he was capable of drawing out in other people. He couldn’t allow Alexei to make a promise he couldn’t keep.

    The journey of Kent Parson and Alexei Mashkov from draft to retirement.

    Summary

    Slowly, a theory began to form in Ed's mind. If Mary had replaced Stede when he was away sailing, and then Stede had inconveniently reappeared... The solution was obvious. Really, Ed should have seen it before he even arrived. Afterall, he had nearly done the same thing himself. What really are the odds that a person would be mauled by a jungle cat, hit by a carriage, and struck by a piano all on the same day?

    So yes. Mary killed Stede, and now Ed was in the uncomfortable position of having to avenge that death himself.

    He can't think of any other option. He can't just let Mary walk away from this. Stede had come home for her. He had abandoned the sea - abandoned him - for her. Sure, this house has lots of other nice things in it, like paintings and dishes and silks, but they had those on the ship. No, Stede had come back to Mary, and she had killed him for it.

    And as Stede's former co-captain, Ed has an obligation to murder her in return.

    Or, Ed hears that Stede Bonnet is dead and decides to offer his condolences to the Widow Bonnet. If only Ed knew that Stede was still alive, and Mary knew that Ed was the notorious pirate Blackbeard.

    “I can’t — not in the bed. My knee.”

    “Can’t do what?”

    “What I want to do. Sit in the chair. Keep your hands where I can see them.”

    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.”
