Summary
This is how he does it, Charles realises abruptly. Flint finds the thing that other men crave most and then he tells them they can have it. Tells them how to have it, laying out a path to their desires that passes squarely through his hands. Flint might be a liar, but Charles no longer sees him as some grasping grifter pulling off a scam. Flint is bigger than that, and far more dangerous. He’s a self-proclaimed prophet, foretelling doom and judgement, promising salvation and redemption to anyone who follows him. And the worst part, the best part, the part that holds the power, is that Flint himself actually believes he can deliver it.
What really frightens Charles is that for once in his life, he doesn’t want to prove Flint wrong.
A.K.A. Everyone talks about how Silver helped create the myth of Flint in the aftermath of Charlestown. And maybe he did - but Charles Vane got there first.

Summary
The worst part is, James is so fucking gracious about it all. He never pressures Thomas, always waits for him to ask. And when he does, James always looks so happy. Like all the greatest pirate in the New World could wish for is the chance to play barber to an invalid. Again.

Summary
Charles knows he’s being paranoid, but a good captain is in tune with the needs of his crew, even the four-legged members. And the lack of an angry ginger furball in their midst is putting him distinctly ill-at-ease.

“We can’t go after her.”
“Fuck you,” he snarls, because fuck James Flint. Fuck him for suggesting he’d go chasing after Eleanor. Fuck him for thinking Charles would want to, after everything she did to him.
Fuck him for being right.

Summary
Flint's drunk. He's crying. He's looking for his book. And he's ready to shoot anyone who tries to interrupt him.
Enter Charles Vane, who's definitely doing this for Nassau and not for any other red-haired reasons.

Summary
“You know, kids,” Steve heard from the backyard, “one of the most common threats a superhero has to face is inside an active volcano! We’re going to have to work on your evasion skills, so for the next five minutes, the floor is lava!” This was met by a sudden spike in both volume and pitch from the small children as they scrambled onto every raised surface they could find and immediately launched themselves right back off.
“I’ve never seen actual lava in my entire life,” Steve said, vaguely offended.
“You got a superhero impersonator for The Falcon’s niece’s birthday party,” Sam said, incredulous. “The Falcon, who is an actual superhero.”

Summary
Clint Barton's Super Secret Snipers' Club. (Invitation and pending mental health evaluation required.)
"When Steve brings Bucky back to the tower for the first time, Clint’s first thought is that Tony Stark’s pride and joy is quickly becoming a less of a very tall and expensive ‘fuck you’ in the faces of investors who don’t believe in self-sustaining energy, and more of a superhero rehabilitation center."
Boyfriends, compromises and learning to like oneself.

Summary
“Maybe when this is over, I’ll buy you a beer.”
It feels like Bucky’s low laugh is echoing right into the skin below his earlobe.
“You think I’m that easy? You'll have to do more than be the one good man left to get in my pants, Rogers.”

Or, Bucky is an agent at S.H.I.E.L.D. during the fall, and Steve can’t help but trust a Brooklyn accent.

Summary
Jim Hawkins grew up on a small island in the Caribbean. His fathers are a farmer and a fisherman, so far as he is aware. So when news of the death of Captain Jack Rackham reaches his island, he does not understand why his father is required to rescue the pirate Anne Bonny from prison in Jamaica. When he stows away aboard the ship, he begins to understand that there is much he does not understand. Fleeing and fighting for his life on an island purported to hold a treasure hoard named for his father, Gemma Hawkins discovers that John Silver isn't entirely trustworthy, his father is not at all a fisherman, and there are some things he knew all along without realizing it.
