Summary
Archie loves her partners like a snake— that is to say, if she could unhinge her jaw and swallow them whole, keep them safe and warm in her own body until they became an inseparable part of her, she’d do it in a heartbeat.
Jim loves their partners like a martyr— that is to say, if they could sacrifice themself, body and soul, in some grand blaze of devotion to prove their love, they’d do it in a heartbeat.
Oluwande loves his partners like the sun— that is to say, if he could swear to spend the rest of his days shining warm and gentle on their leaves, nourishing them, helping them to grow, never hot enough to scorch, he would swear it in a heartbeat.
Snippets of a developing relationship between Archie, Jim, and Oluwande. Set throughout s2.

Summary
“Yeah, are you sure it’s a good idea to be telling people that story?” Jim says, eyeing Izzy a little warily. "About a shark biting your leg off?"
“It’s not a story,” Frenchie says at once, before Izzy has a chance to say anything at all. “Don’t you remember? That big old shark that took his leg off?”
Jim blinks, and exchanges a look with Archie. “Frenchie, what are you talking about?”
__
In which Frenchie supports and embellishes Izzy’s shark story, to the understanding of absolutely no one. Set in a vague in-between time after s2ep5 but before ep6.

Summary
In a weird and somewhat sick and definitely twisted way, it makes sense that Frenchie’s act as first mate would be to betray his captain.
Two acts of kindness, from one first mate to another. In which Frenchie and Izzy discover where their loyalties lie, and what they’re willing to do for the people they consider crew.

Summary
There’s a bit of love in death, and a bit of death in love. No wonder the two so often go hand-in-hand.
Lucius Spriggs is not at all enamored by the idea of his Names. Would it be useful to know the name of the person who will be responsible for his death? Sure, but it comes hand in hand with knowing the name of the love of his life, his soulmate, and Lucius has no interest in that. He’s a free spirit, free as they come, and the idea of being tied down by anyone- well, he’s not thrilled. So when Lucius’s Names appear on his wrists on his eighteenth birthday, it really doesn’t mean all that much.
Then he meets Black Pete.
Black Pete, or Peter, depending on who you ask, is not a sentimental man. At least, he tells himself he isn’t. He’s rough and mean and tough, and rough and mean and tough men don’t care about their Names. They especially don’t care about their Names when they can’t read them. So Pete, in the true spirit of his ideal self-image, tells himself he doesn’t give a shit about his soulmate or the person who will kill him.
Then he meets Lucius Spriggs.
AKA the soulmate au Pete and Lucius deserve. title from francesca by hozier

Blackbeard has done a lot of wrong in the months since Stede Bonnet's abrupt departure from Barbados- the most heinous wrong, of course, being the murder of Lucius Spriggs. When Stede Bonnet returns and reconciles with the man he loves, what happens to those Blackbeard has hurt the most?
Basically a bunch of character studies surrounding the effects of Ed's actions, trauma, healing, and finding peace and family in unexpected places.

Summary
Recovery is a bitch.
One does not simply walk off an amputated leg, several illnesses, dehydration, starvation, and a head full of a survival instinct so finely tuned that the person connected to the head does not know how to live.
The crew of The Revenge has been operating off of a fear of God and all of the physical consequences of such for so long that it is hard to become people again. It is hard to adjust back to being a normal pirate ship run by a bumbling captain who yes, has definitely improved since they last saw him, but is still connected to a man who was once a kraken.
Yes, Ed is alive. Stede brings Ed back from the dead. There is crying to be heard from under the deck. Many are happy for the two of them and that they don't have to let each other go, but there is definitely a wild amount of relief at the fact that Ed will not be emerging from the Captain's Quarters for several days, at least, as he recovers.
It is easier, and smarter, in the end, for the two crews to readjust to being one large crew without their captain and his long lost boyfriend (never to be captain again) in the mix.
(The Post-Revenge crew begins to recover. OT3s abound. Love is found in the whittling.)

Summary
It strikes Nebula, suddenly, that Mantis is a lot like the sun. Peaceful and warm and bright, but sometimes, too bright. Almost stiflingly so, like it’s difficult to look at her for too long.

Summary
The Fire Lord needs a new hairdresser, a grueling process of vetting and testing and background checking. Sokka might know just the person, though--if only he can find her in the city. And if only he can figure out how to make sure Zuko likes her without revealing the whole, you know. Fire Lord thing.
Or,
Sokka takes Zuko on a date in the city that does not go at all how Zuko expects it to. (At least not at first)
