Summary
They take it slow.
Nothing in Ed’s life has ever been slow, or easy, or gentle. Every moment’s been a fucking fight, his mind careening ahead at 30 knots, day in, day out.
But Stede is ease and gentleness, sweetness potent as marmalade. For him, every new day is a possibility, a wonder. And so, Ed thinks, watching the silhouette of their ship retreating into the sunset, he can take it easy with Stede. They can take it slow.

Summary
Izzy just watches for a moment. “What do you feel,” he asks, after a moment, “When you do this?”
John’s started on his eyes, using his fingers to dab blue, shimmering paint over his eyelids. “Feels like… being seen."

Summary
Blackbeard is sharp, and rough, and callous. And Ed is all of those things, too. But Ed was soft, too, once. He was delicate, and fragile, and fine. He thought—
You wear fine things well, he hears, an echo like a pistol shot.
He thought he could be that fine thing that Stede loved.

Summary
Aziraphale looks back for one moment that lasts an absolute age, and then he’s gone, the Heavenly elevator swallowing him up and disappearing as if it never even existed.
Crowley’s chest stutters. Funny old thing, this corporation of his. Acts of its own volition sometimes. He doesn’t need to breathe, but suddenly it feels like he’s drowning.
He waits a half second too long, and suddenly someone is there at his elbow, gazing off down the street in the same direction as him. There’s nothing to see.
“You alright?” Nina asks.
He doesn’t trust himself to speak just now. Swallows thickly—there goes his body doing human things again—and shakes his head.
“What’s happened?”
“He’s gone,” he manages, after a moment, and lowers himself into the car. Nina stops the door with her hand before it can close.
“Gone,” she says, like it’s silly, like it’s a mistake. “What d’you mean, gone?”

Across the country and on his way to work, Stede Bonnet hears on the radio that Blackbeard has offered $1 million to anyone who can prove their preternatural abilities.
He has to find Blackbeard immediately.

Summary
Ed’s used to visitors, though the novelty of his home has worn off in the last eighteen months or so, the uninvited guests becoming fewer and further between. He’s used to curiosity, and questions he rarely feels like answering. He’s used to people forgetting that this is, in fact, his home, and not some out of the way tourist attraction.
He’s used to strangers.
But he’s starting to think that perhaps, not all his visitors need to stay strangers.
or: Ed has a simple life. He has a self-built, off grid, mostly self-sustaining house tucked away in the middle of a forest. He has five chickens, and a partially feral cat. He lives alone, and he likes it that way. Until the appearance of an incredibly nosy, incredibly handsome stranger three weekends in a row has him questioning every self-imposed rule he's ever set himself.

Summary
“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
In 1718, Ed waited all night on the dock, but Stede never showed. And then to add insult to injury, he went and died. Drowning his grief in rum and violence, Ed finds himself pursued by monsters, ghosts, and the British Navy.
Aboard Ed's own ship, Jim Jimenez is waiting for their chance for revenge against the people who've hurt their family, Ed included.
A chance meeting with an old rival at Ocracoke Island shifts the trajectory of all of their lives, and sends them hurtling back toward past hurts. Now they'll have to work together to come through the other side of the storm, and to build a new future from the wreckage of all they have been.
This story is now COMPLETE
