Summary
Stede Bonnet has just moved into Orange Crescent. There’s a house on the corner, opposite Stede’s own, with a garden full of flowers and a gleaming motorbike on the driveway. He’s forgotten to buy sugar.
Edward Teach has his morning disturbed by his new neighbour. Enamoured at first sight, he invites Stede round for a chat, and then another, and then another.
This is the story of them.

Summary
During a raid on a smuggler ship, Ed finds a merman named Stede locked in the hold. Inspired by art by feriowind.
Inside is a tub that looks like it was cobbled together from wooden boards. And inside the tub is a merman.
He sits on the bottom of the tub, his back slumped against its wooden side. His tail is curled beneath the water’s surface, nearly tucked into a perfect circle in the cramped space. He looks pale and haggard, and there’s a shackle around his neck attached to a heavy chain in the wall.
He’s the most magnificent and most pathetic thing Ed’s ever seen.

Summary
Stede turns once to wave on the stairs—then glances back again, red-faced, when he stumbles on the next step.
Ed waits until he hears the door upstairs open and close before going inside the apartment, in a bit of a daze.
His gaze falls on the kitchen clock: it’s only noon. He still needs to take the clothes out of the washing machine.
“What the fuck,” he whispers.

Summary
Stede can't see the shop he's inherited from his late father as anything other than a burden, another insult added to a life that's going nowhere fast. Then he meets the charismatic man who owns the tattoo studio next door, and Stede finds himself forced to consider the idea of home.
Edward is trying to escape a history of violence and settle into his art, but he keeps finding himself caught in old patterns. Then Stede moves in, and Edward starts to believe he might be deserving of something more.

Summary
There was a man unconscious at the edge of the property. His beard was matted with blood, hair a tangled knot, and he had a welt the size of a fist on his forehead.
Black Pete was skeptical. “What if he’s in league with Blackbeard’s Gang?”
Stede clapped his shoulder. “I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about. What would a notorious outlaw want with a ranch like ours?” He hopped back into the wagon and shook his head. “Besides, this guy working for Blackbeard? What are the odds of that?”
