March 1978.
When Hollywood's favorite actor Stede Bonnet walks through the door of his little bookshop in Los Angeles, Ed Teach is stunned.

Except Stede does. And Stede is regretful.
Stede wants to revive their old friendship... and perhaps more.

Summary
Edward was a little bit of a stuffy, old fashioned name. And Teach, well, that made Stede think of a professor. And however silly that kind of assumption may be, when he had spotted this man’s name in the listings, he’d pictured a bespectacled man in a cardigan, not… Well.

Summary
Ed managed to even get through the normal pleasantries with Jackie before he blurted out, “have you any news on the gentleman pirate?”
“What, Bonnet?” Jackie shrugged, “yeah. Dead. Run over by a carriage or something.”
“Dead?” Ed’s heart stopped, “like, dead dead?”
“Did I stutter?” Jackie glared, “dead. Dead like not breathing, not walking, not pirating. Dead. Shouldn’t you already know this? You stole his ship.”

“Republic of Pirates then?”
“Seems likely,” Lucius shrugged, “why?”
“We’re going to go after him, naturally.”
“Why would you bother?”
“Because I love him," Stede said around bites of snake.
“Oh,” Lucius sighed, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, “well, shit.”
