The dance of nature forward far by Dorinda for fawatson
Fandoms: The Mask of Apollo - Mary Renault

Summary
No one drew attention to my increasing efforts and difficulties—not at performing Aigeus or Athene, which weren't going badly, but in the role of Nikeratos, son of Artemidoros. Perhaps I had them all fooled...or perhaps they were kind.

Summary
"Hang on, Duncan, I'm just coming in." Jimmy tucked the phone into his top pocket and nudged the boat alongside the mooring. She kissed the buoys with a gentle bump and he jumped onto the quayside to tie her off. He dug out the phone and pressed it to his ear, regretting wasting Duncan's thirty precious monthly minutes. "Sorry, sorry. You were saying?"
"About my release day, aye. I've been thinking it might be best if you weren't here, after all, to pick me up."
Jimmy swapped the phone to his other ear, the landward side, because Duncan suddenly sounded muffled and far away, despite the lack of wind coming off the sea. "Come again?"
"I said, it might be better if I make my own way after they let me out."

Summary
You love Izzy Hands like a boat on fire, and you suspect that’s how it will end one day.
You love Edward Teach like God, and you don’t think you have to explain that one.
Twin character studies on two men who love each other, badly.

Bookmarker's Notes
A deep, beautifully written, painful exploration of Ed and Izzy and what they are to each other. And what they can never be to each other.

Summary
The thing is, when you’re Blackbeard you’ve got kind of a reputation to uphold. When you captain a ship, when you lead a crew, when people look up to you, tell stories, build a legend – parts of that legend are always more accurate than others.
And maybe you just let it slide, some of the things people say. Some of the things they assume. Maybe you swagger around and wear black leather and are a handsy bastard and let the stories tell themselves.
Maybe you don't want to talk about it.

Summary
Sailors call them watermarks. A gift from the sea, a name or symbol written on your chest, meant to guide you to your own true love.
But Stede Bonnet's mark doesn't look like anything at all. Not really. And it certainly doesn't look like 'Edward' or 'Teach' or 'Blackbeard' or a black beard and that's fine. Completely fine.
Ed's absolutely fine with it.

Absolutely note-perfect Ed/Stede reunion fic that doesn't ignore the damage done, or make things too easy. Excellent Ed POV.

Summary
Maybe there was meant to be a love story here, one between a fearless lawyer and a selfless monk, two single-minded, do-gooder leader types. Instead this sad little clown house got them, two mistakes, two con artists from opposite ends of the country.
Welcome to the bottom of the barrel.
(Or: The reboot wherein Eleanor and Jason are matched as soul mates, and it isn't perfect but things go surprisingly sort of okay.)
