    Summary

    Lace is not a healer. Her life’s purpose up until very recently has been to be a perfectly poised doll and although she’s exploring what else she could be without those labels, she’s very certain ‘healer’ is not among her options.

    Lace considers what she could do next. She could leave Hornet, but that would be foolish and unwise. She doesn’t think she would want to, even if she could. For all Hornet’s many faults–being a brute, being an insufferable know-it-all, eternally looking for ways to help people— Lace likes being around her. She likes seeing how far she can push Hornet, she likes it when they fight, she likes it when Hornet pays attention to her. She likes how every day is different and new in a way it had never been with Mother. She likes how she can feel herself changing, for the first time in her long, long life.

    So, she has to help Hornet. But how?

    Hornet falls ill. Lace, for the first time in her life, has to care for another being.

    Summary

    When Stede put out the advertisement for a man, it was very late at night and he was very, very drunk.
    Seeking: intimidating man to conduct himself poorly at an elite dinner party this Christmas. Tattoos, piercings a plus. Must be comfortable speaking out of turn and using the wrong cutlery for at least one course. Rate of pay negotiable – role involves engaging with somewhat difficult personages and you will be compensated accordingly. Note that you will be posing as another man’s romantic partner; homophobes need not apply.

    ---
    Frustrated by his rich, bigoted family, Stede Bonnet advertises for a man to be his fake date when he faces them at Christmas. Tattooed biker Edward Teach responds. But somewhere between planning amazing pranks and teaching Ed about society, Stede begins to fall for him. Could Ed ever feel the same?

    Summary

    Slowly, a theory began to form in Ed's mind. If Mary had replaced Stede when he was away sailing, and then Stede had inconveniently reappeared... The solution was obvious. Really, Ed should have seen it before he even arrived. Afterall, he had nearly done the same thing himself. What really are the odds that a person would be mauled by a jungle cat, hit by a carriage, and struck by a piano all on the same day?

    So yes. Mary killed Stede, and now Ed was in the uncomfortable position of having to avenge that death himself.

    He can't think of any other option. He can't just let Mary walk away from this. Stede had come home for her. He had abandoned the sea - abandoned him - for her. Sure, this house has lots of other nice things in it, like paintings and dishes and silks, but they had those on the ship. No, Stede had come back to Mary, and she had killed him for it.

    And as Stede's former co-captain, Ed has an obligation to murder her in return.

    Or, Ed hears that Stede Bonnet is dead and decides to offer his condolences to the Widow Bonnet. If only Ed knew that Stede was still alive, and Mary knew that Ed was the notorious pirate Blackbeard.

    Summary

    It's been two weeks and things at the inn are going pretty good. Yeah, it needs a lot of repairs and, yeah, there are too many fucking bugs but, ultimately, things are good. They are together. Nobody's going anywhere. They kiss every morning, they work on the inn together all day and they fuck whenever they want.

    Or do they?
