Summary
This is a freestanding follow-up to the modern AU "Aces Of Spades And Hearts" series, that takes place about three years after Billy's and Ned's wedding in "At Ends Of Nights" (part 7 of "Aces..."). Ned is not the villain here! He and Billy are a happily married asexual couple since and now we're heading for angst and misery that non of them could prepare for...
I will use both 1st and 3rd person pov with both Billy and Ned. Each chapter will be named with the pov. I also want to point out that this is VERY canon divergent when it comes to the characters, especially Ned Low. Wipe out the image of him as a cruel sadist, because this is not the case in the AU at all.
If you're a fan of History Channel's "Vikings" and remember Tadhg Murphy's role Arne, or have seen this awesome actor in another role than Ned Low, "my" Ned will be far closer to those than the Ned Low character. And Billy is definately not a "Black Sails season 4 Billy".
The title is borrowed from Nightwish's "While Your Lips Are Still Red"
Gifts to Mad_Amethyst and AngryPirateHusbands for your addiction to angst and other reasons <3

Summary
This is part two of the freestanding follow-up to the modern AU "Aces Of Spades And Hearts" series, that takes place about three years after Billy's and Ned's wedding in "At Ends Of Nights" (part 7 of "Aces...").
Ned is not the villain here, but a victim of gang rape and is on the very shaky road to recovery and his husband Billy still doesn't know who did this to him. Ned knows, but can't make himself tell, since one of the rapists is Billy's ex boyfriend, Woodes Rogers...
"Banished From Sanctuary" is part two and continues a couple of weeks after the last chapter in "While Your Lips Are Still Red".
I will use both 1st and 3rd person pov with both Billy and Ned. Each chapter will be named with the pov. I also want to point out that this is VERY canon divergent when it comes to the characters, especially Ned Low.

Summary
This is part three of the freestanding follow-up to the modern AU "Aces Of Spades And Hearts" series, that takes place about three years after Billy's and Ned's wedding in "At Ends Of Nights" (part 7 of "Aces...").
Ned is not the villain here, but a victim of gang rape and is on the very shaky road to recovery and his husband Billy finally knows that his ex boyfriend Woodes Rogers was one of the rapists.
"On The Lap Of The Waves" is part three and continues a couple of days after the last chapter in "Banished From Sanctuary", where Ned's PTSD made him come to an extreme conclusion. The title is from Moonsorrow's "Sankaritarina".
I will use both 1st and 3rd person pov with both Billy and Ned. Each chapter will be named with the pov. I also want to point out that this is VERY canon divergent when it comes to the characters, especially Ned Low. Wipe out the image of him as a cruel sadist, because this is not the case in the AU at all.

Summary
This is part four of the freestanding follow-up to the modern AU "Aces Of Spades And Hearts" series, that takes place about three years after Billy's and Ned's wedding in "At Ends Of Nights" (part 7 of "Aces...").
Ned is not the villain here, but a victim of gang rape and is on the very shaky road to recovery and his husband Billy knows that his ex boyfriend Woodes Rogers was one of the rapists.
"Embrace The Darkest Night, Save Me From The Light" is part four and continues a couple of days after "On The Lap Of The Waves", where Ned is very slowly making progress towards recovery. The title is from Keep Of Kalessin's "Dark As Moonless Night".
I will use both 1st and 3rd person pov with both Billy and Ned. Each chapter will be named with the pov. I also want to point out that this is VERY canon divergent when it comes to the characters, especially Ned Low. Wipe out the image of him as a cruel sadist.
