    Summary

    Stede waits until he can hear the loud stomps of strangers coming down the steps to the lower decks. Then he opens the tiny metal door in the wall and leans forward to press his mouth to the circular opening.

    “Who dares,” he coos, drawing out the vowels, “disturb my slumber?”

    Someone shouts. Others follow. The noises all carry and echo throughout the ship without an identifiable source and distort until they’re unrecognizable, wordless howls in the walls.

    “Get out!” Stede shouts. “Get out while you still can!”

    And then Black Pete begins to giggle, so Stede has to replace the cover and halt the operation entirely. “Really, Pete,” he hisses, “please be professional.”

    (A post-season one fix it, sort of, where Stede becomes the pirate captain he was always meant to be and Blackbeard isn't fond of having a rival.)

    Summary

    “You made your choice,” Edward insists. “You don’t get to unmake it, Stede. What’s done is done, don’t you know?”

    “Ah. I learned that lesson rather recently, yes,” Stede says, very softly.

    The expression on his face isn’t fair, Ed thinks. It hurts to look at, all soft and yearning and difficult to resist. The kind of look that makes him angry because of how it also makes him weak. Ed clears his throat, twitches again. Locks his knees tight and clamps his jaw shut, glaring at Stede. The ship keeps sinking beneath them.

    “What I also learned,” Stede murmurs, shifting his weight forward. His empty hand comes up, palm open and reaching. “Is that I can be brave. I can be stubborn. I can fight for the life that I want so very, very badly, Edward Teach.”

    Ed’s mouth dries. “Y-yeah? And what’s that?”

    Stede smiles crookedly. “You.”

    Summary

    Stede and Ed "Blackbeard" Teach have been fighting ever since Stede got back to sea, which would be fine and not totally unexpected after the "breakup", except their fighting now involves full-blown naval battles and their respective crews are thoroughly sick of it.

    Naturally, the only solution is to maroon the two of them on a desert island until they work it out or kill each other. Whichever comes first.
