Summary
A four part series, beginning with Never Meet Your Heroes, exploring events following season 1 with a focus on the minor characters- specifically, Black Pete, Lucius, Oluwande, Jim, Frenchie, and Izzy.
Blackbeard has done a lot of wrong in the months since Stede Bonnet's abrupt departure from Barbados- the most heinous wrong, of course, being the murder of Lucius Spriggs. When Stede Bonnet returns and reconciles with the man he loves, what happens to those Blackbeard has hurt the most?
Basically a bunch of character studies surrounding the effects of Ed's actions, trauma, healing, and finding peace and family in unexpected places.

Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
-----
“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?
