    Summary

    Anne reaches for Mary’s hand then and threads their fingers, clammy palm pressed to clammy palm. Only yesterday, it seems, they were aboard the William together. Mary remembers the bright white dazzle of noon on the water; Jack bawling orders from the quarterdeck; the deck pitching beneath them while Anne cursed the men for hauling too slowly.

    That life feels impossibly distant now.

    Or: an AU in which Mary Read lives long enough to be rescued, her daughter does not, and Edward Kenway learns too late that the child was his.
