Summary
“I have done some real, real weird shit, Caleb Widogast, but today has been a hell of a contender for the all-time leaderboard.” Captain Mollymauk Tealeaf - pirate, thief, and all-around rat bastard - has never objected to a respectable bit of trouble. But when the Imperial prison frigate his ship has been chasing turns out to be heavily guarded by the Cerberus Assembly and carrying a mysterious wizard as a prisoner, he quickly realizes there’s trouble on the horizon for the crew of the Suckerpunch. Welcome to the grimdark Caleb/Molly pirate AU nobody asked for.

Summary
"There are only two things you need to know about working with Caleb. One, the radius of Fireball is twenty feet, and two, if you hurt him, I'm not too small to kill you." With only his faithful friend Nott by his side, the so-called "Archmage of Nowhere" has found a place in the shadows of the Zadashi underworld in the company of the Gentleman’s group of ne'er-do-wells. But when a stranger with a familiar face appears in Zadash, Caleb Widogast knows he can no longer put off facing the memories of his time on the Suckerpunch with Mollymauk Tealeaf as his captain. The grimdark Molly/Caleb pirate AU makes its way inland to the Empire’s seedy underbelly and beyond.

Summary
"Gravity gets us all in the end." With Lucien in control of his body, Molly has been dragged away from the Nein. Desperation leaves Caleb, Essek and the rest of the crew with few safe or reasonable options for getting him back. Luckily, they've always specialized in unsafe and unreasonable options. Air piracy, fake slavery, a heist, kidnapping, assassination, being imprisoned by a beautiful psychopath, espionage, and a coup ensue. In the final part of this sprawling Exandrian criminal underworld AU, even the good guys are bad guys, and the only way out is through.
