Summary
This is the canon era with a single change: in this world, through skill and/or difficult circumstances, people can learn the magic of manipulating time and space by drawing maps. Colonial powers train their sea captains in cartography as science so they can claim territory, literally drawing over Indigenous geographies across the globe. Ed, aka Blackbeard, is the most skilled rogue cartographer in the Caribbean, famous for creating spaces on maps where sea creatures assist him in capturing and looting ships. One day, Ed hears about a new rogue cartographer - the Gentleman Pirate, whose piratical maps are full of whimsy and imagination that others lack. They meet and learn that, even across space and time, together they are stronger than any force that tries to tear them apart.

Summary
For day 26, Real Story, of Janu-au-ry.
Ed is a sailor with a broken rudder; the response to his distress call is nothing he expected.
He waits. The radio crackles into life.
“Pan-pan,” the voice on the other end says. Male. Kiwi. Bit odd, in this part of the world. A bit nervous, but then, maybe that’s not surprising. Not an everyday thing, even when it’s not a more urgent Mayday call.
“La Concorde QAR-1, La Concorde QAR-1, La Concorde QAR-1.
This is the sailboat Revenge SBT2, Revenge SBT2, Revenge SBT2.
Received, pan-pan.
Would you like a tug? Over.”
Ed grins. “Never been one to say no to that, Revenge, over,” he drawls down the radio.
