    Summary

    In a lonely tower at the edge of the world, a young man has found a golden key, an aphorism, and a spell, but not yet a name nor the trick to enchanting a bag to hold all his supplies. One day he looks out his window and sees something odd on the beach.

    Summary


    “Anyway,” he continues, “then Ed — that is, Blackbeard, bent over me and said—”

    “Do the Blackbeard voice!” Wee John exclaims.

    “He does voices?” asks Finn, in an awed whisper.

    Wee John scoffs. “Of course he does voices. He’s our captain.”

    Well. Stede can hardly disappoint, then. He clears his throat and thinks of Ed’s voice: its lower pitch, roughened with a hint of rasp, the heavier tongue that drags his vowels and thickens his consonants. “The Gentleman Pirate, I presume.”

    In which Stede accidentally convinces the pirating world that Gentlebeard (or Blackbonnet or Stedward; there's a poll) is canon, reunites his crew, and gets his boyfriend back.

    Summary

    Ed had been interested in tracking down the so-called "Gentleman Pirate" for months. What sort of gentleman commissioned a ship and fled his life of luxury for one of bloodshed and backstabbing? And by all accounts, particularly Izzy’s, he was a terrible pirate. Completely incompetent. It made no sense … but it was compelling. And the thing was, Ed didn’t find much compelling these days.

    After being sold out to the Spanish, the Revenge was "rescued" by Charles Vane rather than Blackbeard - and unlike Edward, Vane doesn't see Stede as an equal. After weeks of captivity on Vane's ship, Ed and Stede meet, and something begins ...
