Summary
The shape of Castiel’s Mark was a mirror opposite of the one Dean had borne. Instead of blood-red, it was a deep black, like the void itself etched into his skin and echoing through his grace.
“How does it feel?” Dean asked, turning Castiel’s wrist gently to study the Mark from every angle.
“Heavy.”
Dean’s eyes met his. “And how do you feel?”
Castiel shrugged. “I don’t feel angry, if that’s what you mean.”

Summary
Sir James is a knight of King Barrow's court looking to make his mark on the world. He spends his days adventuring, defending the villages of the kingdom from the brigands and magical beasts that threaten them. When he's seriously injured during a fight, his life is saved by a mysterious but powerful mage, Francis. As time passes, an odd friendship begins to grow between them. But their friendship is soon shaken—the king has had a vision of the Holy Grail, similar to one from seven years before that birthed a fatal quest. As a new quest begins and the dangers mount around them, everything James thought he knew about Francis-and himself-will be tested.

Summary
There was a man unconscious at the edge of the property. His beard was matted with blood, hair a tangled knot, and he had a welt the size of a fist on his forehead.
Black Pete was skeptical. “What if he’s in league with Blackbeard’s Gang?”
Stede clapped his shoulder. “I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about. What would a notorious outlaw want with a ranch like ours?” He hopped back into the wagon and shook his head. “Besides, this guy working for Blackbeard? What are the odds of that?”

Summary
Ed pauses for a moment, letting his arms rest, holding the oars loosely. He's trying to think of the right thing to say, the thing that will pacify Stede and bring him back from wherever he's gone.
Stede, sensing that they've stopped, snaps his head up. Takes a deep, shaky breath. "I'm so sorry, Ed.” He gulps, swallowing his words down like stones. “I… I ruined your life.”
Ed jerks, fumbles with an oar, almost drops it. "What are you talking about?"
___
Or, Stede does meet Ed at the dock, just as the sun is coming up. But Stede's not quite ready to accept his fairytale ending.

Summary
The downside to being stuck on a desert island is that Stede's not awfully good at adapting. The upside is that he and Ed can finally have some peace and quiet– that is, if Ed ever wakes up from the gunshot wound in his stomach.
Stranded in the middle of who-knows-where, Stede learns the art of reflection and how to embrace the man who looks back.

Summary
“I reckon you’ve got a bit of a reputation, mate.”
“Oh?” Stede isn’t sure whether to be pleased.
“Yeah. They say you’re pretty fucking good at showing lads a good time.” The man smiles in a way that softens his fearsome appearance.
“Is that so? I suppose I am,” Stede says, and now he is blushing a pleased shade of pink.
“I’ve heard all kinds of blokes say they’ll never forget the nights they had with you,” the man says. “Which is pretty fucking fascinating as most guys get around. Someone in every port, y’know? Which means,” the man says, fixing his eyes on Stede’s face, “you’ve gotta be something special.”
“Well,” Stede says modestly, “I’ve gotten rather good at making tea.”-----
