Last night, Stede Bonnet got very, very drunk, and quite possibly met the love of his life. The only problem is finding him again in a town with a surprising number of bars tended by a surprising number of Eds.

"Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals.

"Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!"

"What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"

Archie is a crime scene cleaner, which might be the best job she's ever had, even if it's a little morbid. The pay is great, and her coworker is even better. She's been at this job for over a year, which is a record for her, and has no intentions of moving on to something else.

But when she and Jim are cleaning up the aftermath of a murder, Jim begins to act strange after they discover a photograph on the scene.

Archie starts investigating. She immediately gets in over her head.

1 A Little Murder

Chapter 1: Neither Sea Nor Shore

Stede Bonnet escapes from a world where he’s never felt he fit in into a world where everyone has an animal companion, a daemon - everyone but him, of course, because he wasn't born here. He hears about the dread pirate Blackbeard and his kraken daemon, cursed to live at sea forever, and is fascinated by the legend.

Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, hears about the Gentleman Pirate, who doesn’t have a daemon, and sees an opportunity to escape the life that traps him.

What will happen when the two meet?

And it's not until they're leaving, an hour later than Stede thought he would be, talked out and yet with so much more to say, and they both grab their coats and they both stand in the street, that he thinks, oh no.

Because Ed is glancing down at Stede's lips, and he's rocking on his feet.

"So…" Ed starts. "I had a great time."

"Me too." That much is true. And now Ed is going to say something about the day not having to end just yet, or invite Stede back to his, or make a move, so Stede takes the reins. Steps forward, plants a dry kiss against the warmth of Ed's cheek, just above where his beard stops. "Safe journey home!" he says brightly, and turns on his heels.
