    Summary

    Aaron doesn't register the first symptom.
    Or he does, but he doesn’t think much of it, his mind foggy with pleasure, his forehead pressed against the wall, nails scraping the raw timber. There’s just the slightest itchiness in the back of his throat, surely caused by the cold winter air and strained shouts Aaron has been trying to swallow down unsuccessfully, his voice echoing in a freezing space of the barn.

    aka

    It's 2015. Katie is alive, Robert is getting married, and Aaron is quietly dying.

    Summary

    There’s more people Robert recognises, now. Some of them come up to him and say hello – Bob, David, Tracy. Others just stare and retire to their tables to whisper unsubtly. Sam and Belle Dingle practically recoil when they see him, and hurry over for what Robert can only imagine is an Emergency Dingle Summit with Chas. By the time the pub’s half full, everyone in it seems to be whispering or texting, some doing both at once.

    Robert’s starting to feel like this was a bad idea.


    Robert's back from prison, only to find that Aaron's married to his long-lost brother - and that he's mysteriously and chronically ill.

    It's possible those two things are related.

    Summary

    Sailors call them watermarks. A gift from the sea, a name or symbol written on your chest, meant to guide you to your own true love.

    But Stede Bonnet's mark doesn't look like anything at all. Not really. And it certainly doesn't look like 'Edward' or 'Teach' or 'Blackbeard' or a black beard and that's fine. Completely fine.

    Ed's absolutely fine with it.

    Summary

    “Because I was born here!” Robert yells. The words seem to reverberate around the pub. “You don’t get to ask me to leave just because it’s easier for you if I was gone, or more convenient to not have a reminder I was here before John.”

     

    or you can only take so many people asking you to leave before you snap.
