Summary
Stede finds that being a convicted felon makes job searching near impossible when the owner of a flower shop takes pity on him and gives him a job. It starts as just Stede fulfilling the requirements of his parole. He certainly didn't agree to the offer with the thought the business and the people around it would change his life.

Summary
There’s something…off about The Gentleman Pirate. It takes Ed a little while to put it all together, longer than it would have if Stede weren’t so fascinating, so goddamn distracting. It’s little things, at first: how Stede is not a good enough pirate to be that blasé with his personal welfare, how confident he seems that things will work out in the end, the glimmer in his eye he gets when danger comes close and whispers in his ear. It’s maddening and familiar, too, because Ed swears he’s met Stede before. Maybe on a ship somewhere, or in town, a shared look before a shared bed; though, if the sex were as good then as it is now, Ed’s sure he would remember. As Ed watches and waits — and desperately tries not to fall in love — he grows more and more convinced that the truth is a terrifying third option; a monster parents tell their children about at night and all sailors dread. Stede Bonnet is The World Ender.

Summary
Her text from Ben tells her where to go and when to be there. It’s a nice hotel this time, and the text also tells her: Woman in her mid-forties. Liked your picture, but seemed skittish. Don’t scare her off.

Izzy expects that her last year before retirement will be unremarkable. She'll stay focused, won't draw Ben's attention, and soon have enough money saved that she can book a flight to Ed and never look back.
Things get interesting when she meets Stede.

Summary
Texting your Vulcan first officer in the middle of the night is never a good idea. Especially when you have an obsessive crush on said Vulcan.
The holidays are approaching and Jim is left entirely Spockless aboard the Enterprise when his First takes shore leave on New Vulcan. After some midnight pining, Jim sends a text he instantly regrets. That is, until Spock responds and willingly continues their textual communications to an inevitable conclusion.
