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?

"...Into this buggering holy estate these two wankers came to be joined.”
(He thinks he’s finally getting under Blackbeard’s skin a little. Good. Here comes the only part of this he’s been looking forward to.)
“If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together—”
(unreasonable hope rises like bile in his throat)
“—let them speak now.”
He waits.
Not even the seagull makes a sound.
“Let them speak fucking now.”

Or, Ed and Stede force Izzy to officiate their wedding, and Izzy barely survives the ordeal. -

Another of Devotion's Casualties by Moreta1848

Summary
Spock knows what humans say about him. His ears are too keen to miss the whispers. He has been referred to as Kirk’s pet. As his servant. As his bodyguard. As his shadow.
A relationship does not exist among humans that corresponds to what Spock is to Kirk. In Earth’s past, perhaps, it did, but it has been lost. He has read enough Earth literature to have found it in Lancelot and Arthur, Sam and Frodo, Olivier and Roland. But there is no name for it, no reference to search for. And when humans recognize it for what it is, there is this trace of disgust. Because it is unequal. Because they feel it is shameful to be in the position that Spock is.
It is the deeply held loyalty of one man toward another. It need not be returned; most often it is not, or not in the same way. Spock felt some of that for Pike. But what he feels for Kirk staggers him with its strength. It speaks deeply to an instinct within him which he cannot deny. Not that he chooses to protect Kirk. Not that he wants to follow him. That he must. That he will. That, in the second between danger and thought, his body moves on its own.

Summary
The ISS Enterprise was perilous for a half-Vulcan.
The tenuous peace treaty between Vulcan and the Empire gave Spock his position as Lieutenant Commander of the Enterprise, but afforded him no protection beyond his own shrewdness. After years of service as a pawn in the Empire's game, his stumbling across one of Pike's concubines shreds his valued control in mere seconds, and begs the question - why did Pike leave him alive? How did James Kirk acquire his fearlessness and can he be utilised to facilitate the rebellion?
