Summary
A crew conducts a daring raid on the ship of the Mad Wizard Low, rescuing a man who's lost his memories. As Stede adjusts to his new life onboard a pirate ship, fleeing from the wrath of the wizard and trying to avoid the navy of the Immortal King, he tries to piece together what happened to him.
How long was he locked away? What did Mad Low want with him? And is he really just an average human mortal man?
Haunted by a recurring dream of a beautiful man in a raven mask and the burning conviction someone he loves very much is out there, Stede searches for answers, and begins to suspect he may have had a role in a failed magical ritual that plunged the world into chaos and flooding—held only at bay by the mysterious Blackbeard.

Summary
It had been weeks. Weeks of wondering if he'd just dreamt that night. Wondering whether he had actually met a merman, if he had connected with another person in a way he had never experienced before, if their parting kiss had been real.

Summary
Something changed when they had moved. Ed could feel it. See it in the way Stede's eyes were sunken with dark rings. Feel it in the way he looked at Ed, like he was scared of him. Touch it in the way Stede's skin felt cool and clammy. Something was different. Something was wrong.

Summary
Stede closed his eyes and steeled himself. He didn't want to give the navy, or Ricky, the satisfaction of a performance. He pulled his hands into tight fists and focused on the way the rough rope dug into his wrists. Maybe if he concentrated on that pain what was coming wouldn't feel quite so bad.

Summary

Summary
Stede was a fucking idiot. He was going to die, and it was all his own damn fault. He did everything he was told he shouldn't do. Hubris? Or maybe he just didn't care if he lived any more. Well he bloody well cared now. There was something to be said about confronting death head on to realise that he didn't actually want it. Fuck.

Summary
"I don't want to die!"
Ed couldn't hear anything else over the heaving of his chest and the thumping of his heart. All he could see was Stede standing blindfolded, hands tied behind his back, the guns of the English sailors pointed at him. He didn't have time to second guess himself, he just moved.

Summary
'He knew it was coming, of course he knew. It was inevitable. Written in the stars, probably. He was just hoping it would never come, and it would prove that he's not a massive disappointment, a plague, an unlovable loser.'

Summary
Stede’s on the sofa, bag of frozen peas wrapped in a dish towel placed on his ankle, cold half drunk cup of tea and macaron-less plate on the coffee table, used tissues scattered everywhere. He wants to cry at how pathetic the scene looks, how pathetic he is, but he holds it together. He’s not going to cry over something so minor. It’s his own stupid fault he’s in this situation anyway.

Summary
Stede was barely aware of what was happening through the fever, but he knew Ed was in trouble. Could hear the thumping and breaking and yelling. Blinked his eyes blearily as the door to the bedroom was presumably kicked in.
