Summary
After escaping the clutches of the English navy, Ed and Stede abandoned piracy to build a new life together, away from the danger and chaos of the world they’d left behind. But sailing off into the sunset could never be that simple. Not when you’ve scorned the most powerful empire on Earth. Not when you were once the most notorious pirate on the sea. And not when the Golden Age of piracy is finally reaching its inevitable and climactic end.

Summary
Ed and Stede are together again, and it's right and good. But Ed can't keep himself from daydreaming about the way things were during their first few weeks together on the revenge, before Stede left. Stede finds a way to take them back, just for a night.
_________________________Those memories have a golden hue. Every day had been something new. Every act of affection and care that Stede paid to Ed had been another unexpected pleasure. Ed used to steal the smallest, most innocent touch and savor it for the rest of the day like a candy on his tongue. He used to spend his nights remembering warm smiles and kind words from the day and imagining more. More. Everything.
“I just miss it sometimes,” Ed finally says, the confession escaping him in a heavy breath.

Summary
Bubbles shielded Ed’s modesty, a dense carpet of them covering the surface of the water so that all Stede could see was his face, the silver mass of his hair piled messily, fetchingly atop his head, and—just above the cloud line, peeking in and out of view—the slope of his bare shoulders, the suggestion of a clavicle. A smear of bubblebath clung to his jaw. A stray lock of hair, damp with steam, stuck to the side of his neck.
The sheer eroticism of the image nearly sent Stede to his knees; more devastating, perhaps, than if Ed had stood before him completely bare.
*
Ed's wearing the sack, and the bell. He's doing his best to make himself useful, to win back the crew's trust. He's just maybe not doing such a great job taking care of himself in the process, but luckily Stede has a solution: time for a bubble bath.
