    Summary

    One day, in spring, he comes to the Inn.

    Hob looks up and he’s there, and the relief is blinding. He thinks tu m’as manqué, fuck, because you were missing from me feels more true than I missed you ever has. English missing was ruined for him the moment he learned the French way of it. Longing is meant to be a reflexive verb.

    It would be a bad faith translation, even for him. He tells himself this is why he doesn’t say it.

    He thinks at last, and that’s a doable one. So he smiles, says, “You’re late.”

    Summary

    “The Angel of Death, the ferryman of the Styx, the terror of the western seas. One of the most feared captains ever to sail, and yet, I have to wonder… how did a man like you end up all on his own? We searched the area where you were found—not another soul in sight. So,” He fixes him with a long look, allowing the silence to hover like a dark cloud, the words rolling off of his tongue with all the venom and smugness he can muster, “—tell me, Philza. Where is your crew?”

    OR: Technoblade is a naval captain, and Phil his unwilling prisoner. Somehow, they manage to come out of it as friends in the end.

    Summary

    “We can strike a deal.” Dream offers. “You can spare the town.” It’s almost a plea, in the way he says it. 

    “I could.” The pirate says, Dream staring straight ahead with clenched fists. “I could leave the rest alive. I could go back on my ship, return to my captain, and leave you as you are.” 

    Wilbur leans closer to the ledge of the window, straining his ears to catch their voices, trying to see every single detail, since he might be the only one left in this building to witness it.

    “But.” The Blood God stops in his pacing, a wide grin on his face. “You have something he wants.” 

    He then lifts his chin up, looking straight at Wilbur.

    “Or someone.” 

    Wilbur freezes, the air in his lungs feeling stuck as he sees red. 

    (Or, Wilbur was stolen from his family as a baby to be used as a threat so that The Angel of Death, the world's most infamous pirate, could be kept at bay. But Phil's learnt how to gather together loyal crew, and now they've finally come to get back what belongs to him.)

    No fucking shit.
