    Summary

    Cody was still staring at him. Fox wasn't sure what made him keep talking.

    "It's always the shinies who think they're invincible," he muttered, "who think they're above the rules."

    Cody nodded slowly.

    "Yeah," he said, voice a little hoarse, "that's usually how I lose them too."

    Fox watched as his little brother finished the rest of his drink and stared down into his empty cup.

    It wasn't the same, he wanted to say. That's a battlefield, this is the centre of the Republic, it's different. The truth is that it's not as different as it should be.

    Summary

    There was a man walking between the headstones, and he didn’t look like any man she had ever encountered. Tall, and dressed all in black leather. He must be sweltering, Mary thought. She was already overheated in her petticoats. The man had wild graying hair falling to his shoulders and a short salt-and-pepper beard. He looked dangerous. He looked like someone you didn’t want to cross. In a word, he looked like a pirate.

    Damn it, Stede, she thought again.

    Whoever this man was, she was certain that it was Stede’s fault that he was there. If he hadn’t run off playing pirate, she knew that a dangerous looking man who was almost certainly a pirate wouldn’t currently be wandering the Bonnet graveyard, no doubt looking for Stede’s “grave.”

    Another "Mary meets Ed and realizes he's Blackbeard" fic, or rather, "Mary meets Blackbeard and realizes he's Ed"

    Summary

    Izzy looks to Edward, mouth working helplessly.
    “Just let it happen, mate,” Ed suggests.
    “I was
    hoping,” Stede continues, a little irritated by the lack of support, “that you’d let me—and Ed—know if there’s anything we could be doing differently, to make you more comfortable.”

    (Or: How Izzy Hands learned to stop worrying and love his co-captains.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A terribly unhealthy relationship works it's way towards becoming something beautiful, with a lot of angst and violence along the way.
