Summary
The inn does look like a pirate tourist trap; it's unmistakable. Their guests show up asking about Blackbeard or The Gentleman Pirate, paint the names they've been trying to leave behind on the signs. Their old crew shows up to do some pirate networking. It's all the things Ed wanted to leave behind, right there in their living room.
But despite it all, despite all the little annoyances, and their failed attempt to leave piracy behind completely… Ed seems happy. He really does seem happy.
“It's wonderful,” says Stede. He doesn't take his eyes off Ed's face, off the way the firelight shines in his eyes. “Everything we wanted.”
***
As time grows since the destruction of the Republic of Pirates, Zheng Yi Sao starts to rebuild her fleet in the hopes of revenge; Jim Jimenez confronts their lingering questions about the nature of revenge; retirement remains a popular topic of conversation; and Ed and Stede struggle to leave their past as pirates behind. But with Ricky Banes and the British determined to bring piracy to an end, the former and current crew of the Revenge find themselves in new danger... danger that may threaten their very existence itself. -

Summary
And then, a knife, slicing through the fog of his head, clean and sharp. The sound of a voice he never thought he'd hear again: “ED!”
Ed's head shoots up, almost automatically. Months-old instincts fighting to come through; the voice makes him want to smile, makes him want to call out in return.
But it's—but he can't, and it's fucking impossible, and he must still be asleep, or—hallucinating; Jim did get him over the head; or… just—something, because this can't be real. It can't be happening.
He's not here.
“Ed! I'm here!”
Fuuuuuck.
***
What if Ed had been awake when Stede and the Red Flag caught up with the Revenge?

Summary
“They’re fine, I guess,” Julie says. “Kinda weird.”
Weird as in: she gets a feeling like brain freeze if she looks at them for too long. Weird like: when they lean in to speak to each other, they make the conference room go still and November cold. She would need something far stronger than coffee before she’d admit it, but there have been moments where Julie could not tell them apart.

Summary
The best day of her life, she thinks: when Mulder comes back. She argues and argues to treat him and to save him, as though running slow, through water.
“Who are you?” he jokes when he wakes up, and she is so grateful. She wants to tell him Go easy, I am barely off the sauce, and Please only be exactly yourself.
