Chapter 1 - The Anniversary

Ed has been recalled to the Republic of Pirates to stand trial for crimes against his own kind. The Revenge needs allies, as they've made many powerful enemies in the year they've been sailing together.

As much as they both try to convince themselves that pirates need unity more than they need to punish Ed, both are worried that he may be found guilty and sentenced to death - or worse, be separated from each other.

But the parley of pirate captains brings a surprising ask - one that will put strain on Ed and Stede's life together.
