"Scourge of the Caribbean" has been Stede's favorite book series since he was 12 years old. Now, age 47, divorced, and an aspiring author, he turns back to the series to draw inspiration from the familiar story. But as he starts reading, he realizes that something is different. Blackbeard, the main character, is apathetic and depressed, and the story has changed. Even stranger still, Stede seems to be the only one aware that this change has occurred.

Desperate to understand what's going on, he returns to an old hobby of his, fanfiction, to try and understand what's going on in Blackbeard's mind. But he never expected for Blackbeard to actually start talking back.

There’s a lot Ed doesn’t know, lying exhausted and sweaty in a bed too small for two as the crew continues to celebrate above deck. He doesn’t know if this—him and Stede, doing this, right now—was smart. He doesn’t know, either, if he would take it back if he had a chance, or if he’ll even care about the circumstances of their first time after they’ve had their second, their third, their hundredth.

But what he does know—and it’s a real fucking kicker of a knowing, a months-old wound jammed under his ribs that aches and stings and wants with every breath he takes—that he loves Stede Bonnet.
