Every criminal, seafaring or not, knew the feeling.
The itching, almost sizzling feeling beneath their skin that often accompanied complacency.
It boiled, red-hot under the surface until they couldn’t take it anymore.
And Izzy was about to break. -

Summary
“What are you?”
Selkie. The word sounds like a bell’s chime in his head, and Lucius knows.
He’s heard the stories, the legends of seal women from the north that folks told back home. He’d never taken them for truth, not once—not even when Jenkins came back to town from the sea with a dark-eyed new wife in tow and the whispers had swirled throughout the autumn of the reticent new bride and how she lingered at the edge of town some nights, staring back towards the coast.
Slowly, Lucius’s mind catches up and he processes what the selkie first said.
“There’s a selkie on the ship?”~~~
The only reason Lucius survives when Edward throws him off the Revenge is the selkies who pull him back to the surface of the water and give him time to breathe. They bring him back to the ship with one piece of information: one of ours is on board.
Living in the passageways hidden in the walls, Lucius has to find out who it is; who's been a creature of legend hiding in plain sight the whole time and, more importantly, what they have to do with his survival. -

Summary
“You have got to be fucking with me,” Lucius says when he wakes up in an old, familiar clearing in front of an all-too-familiar wishing well. "I missed this place."
It is so comfortable here. (Too comfortable.) The hold of the Revenge feels like a bad dream.
Here, in this clearing, the air is quiet and still. Nothing can harm him here, where not even his father ever entered the premises.
"Welcome to the end of the world, dickhead," a voice Lucius hasn't heard in three years says. He whirls around to see his little sister, looking the same as she did the day he left her, her braids tucked up under a white lace cap, dressed in a close-bodied gown in a white-and-navy paisley.
(Mel is the very picture of the worst guilt that Lucius has ever experienced, and she is here to send him to his doom.)
"You're gone," Lucius says, the confession squeezing his lungs tighter than drowning did, "I left you behind."
"Well, you’re dying, dipshit,” Mel says, “And you've got a decision to make. Someone had to come ask you what you want."
(AU where Lucius does die down in the trunk in the hold. But as his crew kills a sea god abovedeck, the gravy basket gives him a chance to pull himself back.)

Summary
It is the nature of Lucius’ art form for it to go missing.
Lucius does not create permanent things. He creates things that are ethereal, in their ways, made of parchment that can easily fall into water or be stolen away or be smeared in blood.
Lucius puts a piece of himself into every sketch, layering the lines with love and care, showing how he sees these people. He is cutting out a part of his heart and willingly committing it to the page, knowing that his drawings are as fragile as he is, as destined to destruction as he is without his crewmates.
So why does he do it? Why does he keep sketching when his drawings are doomed to fall apart, the parchment dissolving away into salt water? Why does he give love in a form that will not last?
Well, why do his crewmates keep him around?
There is something to be said here, something about Lucius being the heart of the ship, something about Lucius being something precious himself.
(Lucius Spriggs, through the lens of his art.)

Summary
Canon era Ed/Stede reunion fic. Lots of sailing around the Caribbean, sea chases, navigation, and modern lyrics masquerading as 18th century poetry.
Warnings: Violence (no graphic depictions of injury). Mortal peril (quickly resolved).:::::
“Yes, alright, I need to make it better.” Stede glares at Roach, then looks around hopefully. “Any ideas how?”
“I reckon what we need most for that, cap’n,” says Buttons, thoughtfully, “is a ship.” -

Summary
Has your avoidant attachment style, crippling anxiety, and desire to “not be a bother” ever caused you to go on an intense spiritual journey where you contemplate the very nature of reality? That's what this fic is about.
---
As Stede nervously prepares for a week of alone time with Ed, the crew girds themselves for the prospect of being led by Captain Buttons. But when Stede accidentally drinks too much of a mysterious tea Buttons had prepared for an eclipse ritual, it leads to an intense, spiritual experience. While Stede is incapacitated, the Revenge comes under fire from an enemy vessel and Ed is forced to make a painful, life-altering decision.
----
THIS STORY IS FINISHED at 20,000 words but I'll be periodically adding little epilogues showing the experiences of different crew members as they process/evolve from the events that took place. Think of everything after 20k as dessert :)
-----
I added the names of the POV characters for each epilogue chapter so if you're just eager to read them as standalones (they work really well like that), click on "Chapter Index". -

Summary
Lucius Spriggs is an open book. Everyone on the ship knows everything there is to know about Lucius, about how everything on heaven and sea is in his sketches' purview, about how he loves easily and rashly and recklessly.
Yet when they take their bimonthly trip to the Republic of the Pirates, no one expects someone to ask for him by name.
Frenchie and Wee John reach the pier only to find a woman standing by the gangplank, a roll of paper in one satiny brown hand.
“Might we ask what you’re doing loitering by our ship, ma’am?” Frenchie asks, polite as can be.
The woman blinks, her brow furrowing. “I was told I needed to find the ship captained by Stede Bonnet. You wouldn’t know a Lucius Spriggs, would you?”
"We've really got to spread Captain Olu's reputation around better-" Frenchie says before her words process and his jaw drops. “What might a girl want with a ship's scribe?"
“Melanie Spriggs,” the girl says, sticking out a hand to shake. All of a sudden the girl’s nose, jaw, and sharp smile seem far too familiar for comfort. “I came to tell my brother that our parents finally kicked the bucket."
(An old face from Lucius' past returns, but might end up sticking around.)

Wouldn't that be crazy if I was suddenly, like, into Blackbeard? by YAYvid_Jenkins
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)

Tags
Summary
After Lucius survives being tossed overboard, Blackbeard confines him to a cage. Imprisoned and raging, Lucius' hatred proves difficult to maintain as he finds himself relating to Blackbeard's depressive episode. It would be problematic for Lucius to develop feelings right now, wouldn't it?
--
Don't worry: Ed/Stede are endgame here, but Lucius facilitates the process with sex for friendship reasons.
--
***If you're just here for the sex, it's Chapter 10.
--
Now that S2 dropped, this is now officially Canon Divergence. What if Lucius was the one to reunite Ed and Stede? Consider this the happier timeline for Lucius. It's still intense. He goes through some stuff. But in the end, Lucius gets all the comfort and happiness he deserves (and the dads end up back together). Also, I'm SUPER proud of the Lucius-Pete reunion in this.
--
THIS FIC IS NOW DONE! Ed/Stede Happy Ending Guaranteed. And Lucius gets all the things! Come for the feelings, stay for the emotional reunions! -

To make up for EVERYTHING Stede and Ed bestow endless pampering on Lucius. He gets his own room and luxurious furnishings. He doesn't have to work anymore. That should be great, right?

Summary
Instead of heat, Izzy feels desire of a different kind spread out from the centre of his chest like warm honey. He wants to be up there with him, wants to kiss the laugh from his mouth, and look out into the open sea together.
Fuck. This is exactly what Izzy doesn’t need.~
It's been six months since Ed and Stede kissed and made up, and everything is going great. Lucius is learning to sail. Izzy has everything under control; that's what he's telling himself, anyway. But a storm is on the horizon and, suddenly, the way Izzy has always dealt with his feelings will no longer cut it. Lucius, for his part, isn't sure when things became so complicated.

Summary
Edward Teach has felt like he’s been on a quest for balance his whole life- as a pirate, as a waterbender, and as a man. He thinks he has come close in his mantle as Blackbeard, but over the years the power and anonymity has run stale. Everything changes, however, when wayward earthbender Stede Bonnet- The Gentleman Pirate- crosses his path and turns his world upside down in every way imaginable, starting Ed on a journey of rage, greif, love, and finally confronting who he is and who he wants to be.

Summary
“Ugh.” Jim’s knife withdrew, and their knee lifted from Lucius’ diaphragm. “You’re wet.”
“Courtesy of everyone’s favourite unhinged pirate captain.”
“Fucking insane motherfucker’s lost his fucking mind.”
A dagger slammed into the panneling mere inches from Lucius’ left ear, and he drew a shaky breath. “Oooo-kay, so you’re, like, really upset about how he’s coping with his breakup, and I get that, I do, but would it really make you feel better to kill me?”
The measured calculation in Jim’s eyes made Lucius regret phrasing it that way.
“What I’m saying is, wouldn’t you rather save all the murder-y stuff for Blackbeard, hm?”
***
or, Lucius decides to haunt Blackbeard to the point of insanity as revenge, because why kill a guy when you can terrorise his every waking moment?
