A/N: Most Poly!Marauders fics are oneshots, where the relationship between characters is already established, and they're all happy and pleased with it. No issues, no drama, but I WANTED the drama. Couldn't find it, so I set myself up to write the story behind the stablished relationship. I wanted to know how they started dating each other, the jealousy, the will they won't they, because getting into a poly relationship can't be an easy task, and I wanted to explore that story. If you're interested: Welcome to Gilded Constellations!

Through the Looking Glass

From fairytale in Season 1 to stark reality in Season 2 of Our Flag Means Death- meta ported across from this Twitter thread by popular demand!

This thread contains spoilers for the entirety of OFMD Season 2

First OFMD S1 rewatch since S2, and holy shit, if you haven't done that yet... do that. A thing that it made instantly clear: they told us *all along* where this was going, but there was a reason we didn't see it. Because we were living in Stede's world then. Now it's Ed's.

I know that a lot of us have felt that the tone shift at the end of S2 was... jarring, compared to what's come before. This felt like a show that wouldn't go there. One where being run through was a temporary hiccup. We've travelled all the way from this to this.

But we haven't jumped there without a journey in between. And from the minute we started hearing about Blackbeard, the show never tried to hide what Ed's world and his specific life was like. Not once. In fact they told us over and over and over.

But Season 1 told us a lot of those things through song and story and fuckery. It blended reality with fiction.

Stede met the Blackbeard he knew through books and tall tales, and the real man was even more wonderful than he'd imagined.

We, along with Stede, were comfortable thinking that all those other tales were exaggerations and misrepresentations, and a lot of them very likely were.

The Ed Stede got to know was a person who was capable of whimsy and silliness and loved soft things and doing something weird. Yep, he was also capable of violence and rage, but when he was with Stede, he didn't feel it so much.

This was a vacation from that life.

To Stede he was absolutely lovely... oh, and also a bloodthirsty killer. And Stede loved (and loves) everything about him, and both of those things can be true. This is a perfect example of a spot where (in watching Season 1 without the benefit of hindsight) I assumed that everyone else in that pub was wrong, and Stede was simply trying to protect Ed's fearsome reputation by agreeing on the bloodthirsty bits. And I think from Stede's perspective that was largely true. I think that's how they wanted us to see Ed, through his eyes. Now, after watching both seasons, I think it wasn't the whole picture.

They told us, we heard it, we saw glimpses of it. But we (and Ed) were in Stede's run-away-to-sea fairytale the whole time. It wasn't until Stede left that we saw the reality- the Ed we knew had been, to a degree, a fictional character all along. I always saw this scene as Ed putting a bit of distance between himself and reality; it always felt like the Blackbeard of Stede's storybooks was the fictional one. But now it feels like the softer Ed that Stede knew was much the same- neither of them the whole story of who Ed was and is.

The one person who refused to live in Stede's fairytale was Izzy. I've seen people say it before, but he always gave off that vibe of the only human in the Muppets movie, or the guy who was in Black Sails while everyone else was in Pirates of the Caribbean. He saw the real risks clearly.

And in that light, the end of S1 has shifted an inch to the left for me, and I'm seeing it at a slightly different angle.

Izzy ripped away the healing Ed was doing, but in some respects he did it by tearing away the fairytale we'd all been living in, shoving Ed back into the Blackbeard story.

And that's where we pick up again in Season 2.

The fairytale reference came back in S2 in two notable places, those being Jim carrying that legacy forward in the darkest times, and in Izzy invoking the wooden boy against Ricky's efforts. Stede's made himself into a real boy. Ricky, nope.

Now that I've watched both seasons together, the tone shift doesn't feel so jarring at all, actually.

It feels like sliding through the looking glass, out of Stede's world, and into Ed's- a world that existed all along; we were just seeing it, la vie en rose, through Stede's eyes.

At the beginning of S2, Stede's gone, and we're seeing it unfiltered through Ed's reality.

But Stede wasn't lying when he said he loved everything about Ed. He made a promise to come back and find him- he went down into Ed's darkest place and reminded him that no matter how bad things got, there WAS someone waiting for him, ready to love him.

The contrast between S1's fantasy and S2's reality (excluding mermaids and actual bird guys and cursed coats) is stark, but it really is that.

We have the same settings, the same people, and very different ideas and outcomes at different times.

But it was always there.

Things do come back to a state of (precarious) balance once they're all together. Apologies are made, whether they're spoken out loud or through actions. Things go right, things go wrong. Healing happens. Izzy continues to have the steadiest, most real through-line in the story as he tracks toward redemption, finds acceptance, and to an extent finds himself.

Once again, I hate that they went here with the ending and I wish they hadn't. But it got a fraction easier for me looking at it not as a continuation of Stede's fairytale, but of the grounded-in-pirate-reality arc Izzy was always on, even while we lived in Stede's world.

Where does that leave us? We're not going back to the fairytale, but we're not going to be living in Black Sails for S3, either. We've hit a fusion point where S1 ended with each of them going to separate, miserable homes, but S2 ended with them in the same place, ready and willing to make a go of it.

Season 3 is going to give us their world, together.

I LOVED the moments in this season where the deep emotions were in balance with the silliness I've always adored about this show. Eps4-6 were wonderful like that. Clearly we're not done with drama, either, but like Ed and Stede, I think we'll find a middle ground.

Anyway in conclusion, a rewatch of S1 after S2 somehow made me love the first season even more, which felt impossible? It's now gained /even more/ layers of depth than it had before. No matter how you feel about S2 I think it's worth that rewatch.

Adding one more bit of clarity for myself: I think we got a bit (intentionally) seduced in S1 by the idea that the Ed of the storybooks, the Vampire Viking Clown with the nine guns, was a version of him that others saw, when Stede saw the REAL person who 'worked' for Blackbeard.

In hindsight I think it's clear the Ed Stede go to know was also not the complete version of himself- the reality is, there's a whole spectrum between the two, and they've landed in the middle of it now. Ed intentionally leaned into the unlovable Kraken image to protect himself.

It very much didn't work, just like being just... Edward hadn't worked to protect himself, either. This season has been very much about pulling those two extremes together and finding all the parts that make up Ed overall (another thread on that here on Twitter, which I'll also shift across to Tumblr soon!)

And I think one of my favourite things in S2 has been seeing the way Stede SEES that- he knows what Ed's done, everyone's told him, but he still loves Ed. sees his trauma and how it affects him, and believes he's a good man regardless. He IS lovable; he's not forever broken.

And together, they can heal.

How Caribbean Yacht Charter Makes a Difference in Caribbean Sailing Vacation

The Caribbean is renowned for its stunning turquoise waters, idyllic islands, and vibrant culture. For those seeking an unparalleled way to explore this tropical paradise, a Caribbean yacht charter offers a unique and luxurious experience that sets it apart from traditional vacations. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a first-time visitor, a yacht charter can transform your Caribbean sailing vacation into an unforgettable adventure. Here's how:

1. Unmatched Flexibility and Freedom

Explore at Your Own Pace

One of the most significant advantages of a Caribbean yacht charter is the freedom it offers. Unlike scheduled cruises or resort stays, a yacht charter allows you to set your own itinerary. You can choose to spend more time at a favorite island, explore hidden coves, or sail off to a new destination whenever the mood strikes. This flexibility ensures that your Caribbean sailing vacation is tailored to your preferences and pace.

Access to Remote Locations

A yacht gives you access to remote and less-visited locations that are often inaccessible by larger cruise ships or ferries. You can discover secluded beaches, uninhabited islands, and pristine snorkeling spots far from the crowded tourist areas. This exclusive access ensures a more intimate and authentic Caribbean sailing vacation.

2. Personalized Luxury and Comfort

Customizable Experience

Caribbean yacht charters offer a level of personalization that is hard to match. You can choose the type of yacht that suits your style, from sleek motor yachts to classic sailing vessels. Additionally, many charter companies provide bespoke itineraries, gourmet meals prepared by onboard chefs, and a range of water sports equipment, allowing you to customize every aspect of your trip.

High-Quality Amenities

Yacht charters are equipped with luxurious amenities to ensure maximum comfort during your Caribbean sailing vacation. Spacious cabins, sun decks, hot tubs, and state-of-the-art entertainment systems are just a few of the features you can expect. The crew is dedicated to providing exceptional service, ensuring that all your needs are met with the highest standards of hospitality.

3. Unique Experiences and Activities

Diverse Water Activities

A Caribbean yacht charter opens up a world of water-based activities. From snorkeling and scuba diving in vibrant coral reefs to paddleboarding, kayaking, and jet skiing, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy the crystal-clear Caribbean waters. Many yachts come with their own equipment, so you can take part in these activities at your convenience.

Cultural Immersion

Sailing through the Caribbean gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich local culture. You can visit charming island villages, explore historical sites, and participate in local festivals. Your crew can arrange for unique cultural experiences, such as rum tastings, culinary tours, and guided excursions, providing a deeper connection to the region.

4. Privacy and Exclusivity

Escape the Crowds

One of the main draws of a Caribbean yacht charter is the privacy it offers. You can escape the crowded beaches and tourist hotspots, enjoying your own private slice of paradise. Whether you're sunbathing on the deck, enjoying a meal on a secluded beach, or exploring a deserted island, you can relish in the tranquility and exclusivity of your surroundings.

Intimate Gatherings

A yacht charter is perfect for intimate gatherings with family and friends. It provides a private setting where you can relax and create cherished memories together. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying quality time, the personal and secluded environment enhances the experience.

5. Expert Guidance and Safety

Professional Crew

Chartering a yacht typically includes a professional crew, consisting of a captain, chef, and additional staff as needed. The crew is experienced and knowledgeable about the local waters and destinations, ensuring a safe and smooth sailing experience. They handle all the logistics, from navigation to meal preparation, allowing you to focus on relaxation and enjoyment.

Local Knowledge

The crew's local knowledge is invaluable in maximizing your Caribbean adventure. They can recommend the best spots for snorkeling, suggest lesser-known islands to explore, and provide insights into local customs and traditions. Their expertise ensures that you get the most out of your Caribbean sailing vacation, discovering hidden gems and experiencing the Caribbean like a seasoned traveler.

A Caribbean yacht charter transforms a typical sailing vacation into an extraordinary adventure. The unparalleled flexibility, personalized luxury, unique experiences, privacy, and expert guidance make it a standout choice for exploring the Caribbean. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, a yacht charter offers a bespoke experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories of the Caribbean's stunning beauty and vibrant spirit.

@0ryza13 left this reblog in this idea

God I go feral over the concept of Sleepy Hollow x AC, purely because theres the possibility of Desmond wandering into town and seeing Ichabod and going "hey Shaun, Rebecca, am I hallucinating or is that the guy Connor knew during the revolution"

(I’m making this a Sleepy Hollow the TV show crossover because I’m hoping that what’s you mean XD)

Desmond is permitted to go rest for a ‘bit’ after saving the world with Shaun and Rebecca while Bill tries to get info about how the entire world is holding up. They were on their way to a safe location where Altaïr II is waiting for them so Desmond could have his ‘vacation in the Caribbean Sea’ (I don’t know why, Becs, but I kinda wanna go sailing there for some reasons) and they just happen to pass by Sleepy Hollow when Desmond sees Ichabod Crane.

He’s hit with Ratonhnhaké:ton’s Bleed because he looks exactly like the Ichabod Crane who worked for George Washington.

And he confronts him.

Ichabod didn’t recognize Desmond at all but he recognized the tone and the posture. He remembered Ratonhnhaké:ton. The way Washington’s relationship with the native man ended had always haunted Washington and Ichabod saw the aftermath.

Washington’s focus on the supernatural had been due to his final meeting with Ratonhnhaké:ton.

And Ichabod now believes that Desmond is possessed by Ratonhnhaké:ton’s ghost.

“You’re the one who wanted to go on vacation.”

“I know.”

“Yet here we are, stuck here in this god forsaken town-”

“Don’t be rude.”

“- investigating… what? An immortal who thinks you’re Connor?”

“… Sorta? There’s something in this town… it just… calls to me.”

“… you think it’s a POE?”

“Or something related to Minerva and her people.”

“…”

“… you’re not getting another vacation after this.”

“(sigh)”

RobStar Week 2024, Day 5 - Date

(My Florida Man Flying Graysons agenda continues, also I may have been inspired by my own 10-year anniversary vacation. Enjoy!)

---

"Not that I don't appreciate Bruce doing this for us," said Dick, stirring his straw in the glass of cool bourbon sitting on the table in front of him, "but I'm still not sure about leaving the kids with him. At least, not for a whole week."

Kory nudged her own drink—an orange fruity cocktail—to the side and reached to take his hand. "Alfred has assured me that Jake and Mar'i are already having a wonderful time. The last message we exchanged I believe they were making batches of cookies."

Still agitated, Dick leaned back in the pool deck chair, making it creak underneath him. He tried to relax and enjoy the warm sea air, wafting over the top of the cruise ship as it prepared to cast off—seven days in the Western Caribbean, a full-expenses-paid trip gifted to them for their tenth anniversary—but anxious what-ifs still chased themselves around inside his head.

What if something happened while they were on vacation? What if some villain decided to attack the Manor, or target the kids for their connection to Bruce? What if Mar'i convinced Jake to sneak out on patrol with her, and what if they got hurt? What if—?

Kory squeezed his hand tighter, pinching with her Tamaranian strength, breaking him out of his thoughts.

Eyes on her and deliberately taking a long deep breath, Dick forced his anxieties away.

"Sorry," he said. "I'll stop spiraling now, I promise."

"Mmm?" Starfire prompted, with a tilt of her head.

Dick took another breath and verbalized his mental counterarguments.

"Mar'i and Jake will be fine. Bruce promised us he would keep them safe. He is not taking them on any missions or patrols and has shelved most of his active cases so that he's not too occupied to spend time with them. There are emergency procedures in place arranged with Alfred if anything happens to him while he's out on patrol. The Titans are on hand for anything else."

Kory smiled. "Feel better?"

His lips quirked. "Yeah, actually."

She squeezed his hand again, gentler this time.

They sat in comfortable silence a moment, watching the upper deck fill up with more guests, eager to watch the ship sail away from a good vantage point.

"Should we move to to prow or is this still a good spot for you?" Kory asked at length.

He had a few more sips of the bourbon in him and it was starting to put him in a better mood. "Let's go to the stern," he decided, standing and pulling her along by the hand. "We can usually spot dolphins trailing after the ship's wake."

Her eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh!" she gasped. "Yes please, I would love to see them!"

He smiled and paused so she could grab her drink and then they ambled on leisurely towards the back of the ship. The breeze picked up, warm and refreshing, promising clear summer weather and a hint of salty spray. It rustled the hem of Kory's long white skirt around her ankles, caught strands of her vibrant red hair, and whistled through Dick's scalp like a gentle caress.

He had to admit it; this was really nice.

They found a spot at the rail at almost the very back of the ship. The engines rumbled to life shortly, stirring excited flutters from the other guests as the wake churned white and they began slowly drifting away from the dock.

"What are you looking forward to the most, on this trip?" Kory asked him.

He thought for a moment, then replied, "I think the shore excursion to the historical downtown, when we reach Jamaica."

"That is a good one," Kory agreed.

"You?"

She gave a coy smile that sent shivers through him, eyes glinting mischievously. "Let us just say I have illicit plans for us after dinner on formal night," she said, almost purring the words in his ear, leaning close.

Now he tingled with excitement, already imagining his wife wrapped in the slinky black number she'd brought along for the trip and then mentally undressing her.

"Are you ah..." he said, licking his dry lips, "...opposed to giving me a little preview? After we're fully away?"

"Indeed not," she murmured, lips nipping at his ear, skin so warm he forgot how to breathe for a second. "I for one am planning on thoroughly enjoying my time with my husband."

He tilted his head and captured her mouth in a searing kiss. Heat and passion flamed between them for a moment until Kory broke away with a happy gasp.

"Oh!" she cried, pointing off towards their wake. "There they are! Look!"

Dick couldn't even be mad about the interruption, grinning as he leaned arms on the railing, nursing his drink and watching dolphin fins break the surface of the water behind the ship.

He and Kory and the other guests oohed and aaahed appreciatively as the dolphins sent them off.

Hustlers Cruisin': Day 1 - Come Sail Away

Get ready for an entire 8 days of our newest episode, Hustlers: Cruisin'! After a life threatening adventure in the great white north, our trio of Hustlers set off to the Caribbean to seek out some much needed relaxation upon a 7 day cruise.

*Every day this week, we will post a new day of the cruise so make sure to check for an update daily!😊*

{Main Pairings:} Jeon Jungkook/Original Female Character, Park Jimin/Original Female Character, Kim Taehyung/Original Female Character(s)

{Rating:} 18+

{Genre:} Alternate Universe - Hustlers/ Con Artists

{Warning} Mild Sexual Content, References to Stealing, Mature Language, Manipulation, Angst, Sexual Harassment, Drowning, Alcohol, Smut, Emotional damage

The briny breeze off of Port Everglades had the female trio of Hustlers yearning for a vacation in the warmth of the Caribbean. After their frozen endeavors in the great white north and Emmy’s close call with death, the girls were eager for some much-needed relaxation and a break from their usual hustles.

The bright sunshine of South Florida fueled Ruby’s spirit as she boarded the large vessel, excited for an entire week out at sea on a cruise away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Compared to her tolerance of the brutal cold during their latest travels, this was her type of weather. Ruby had her body draped in a loose-fitting floral bodysuit to allow her skin to soak up as much sun as the narrow passageway opened up to expose the grand atrium of the vessel.

Jade followed close behind, a childlike glee radiating from her being as her pupils observed the large space, eager to set sail on their voyage. Emmy on the other hand stayed back, walking slowly as she processed with the idea of a vacation. Just a week ago, her body was frozen and fragile, coming to a near-death experience at the expense of a stranger who had it out for her. The reality was, she still had no idea who wanted her dead and for what reason. It was a haunting thought that still had her slightly on edge despite the promise of a soothing vacation.

Thankfully, the sound of steel drums echoing through the atrium pulled her away from her thoughts, reminding her that they would soon be setting sail into the vast ocean. Seoho was in jail and they were far away from whatever horrors occurred in Canada.

“Let’s go check out our cabin and put our stuff down.” Jade’s voice hummed as she bounced with each step, directing the girls towards the glass elevators. Thanks to previous scams, they still had some cash in reserve to afford an all-expense paid cruise in the sky suite, giving them plenty of space to enjoy themselves while indulging in their bouji tastes.

The journey upstairs was encompassed by Jade raving on about the endless gourmet cuisine available to her while Ruby excitedly enthused about the clubs and specialty cocktails on board. If they were here to let loose, they were surely prepared to splurge on their unique desires. Emmy on the other hand just seemed relieved to be laying low, eager for a week without having to flaunt her body for attention or the sake of another hustle.

Ruby led the way to one of the cabin doors on the 18th floor, quickly identifying that it was the sky suite as a large smile stretched across her lips. “This is it.” Thanks to updated technology on the boat, their cruise-given bracelets acted as a key to their room as their jewel names displayed across the small LED screen beside it.

They had their own private section of the boat except for a few owner’s suites closer to midship while they were nestled at the front of the vessel. Jade was the closest to the door as she gently pulled down on the handle, opening it to reveal a large luxurious space with a coffee bar and table set up in a living space just beyond a metallic art piece in the center of the room.

As Jade ventured further within, she noticed two rooms opposing each other, the one on the right consisting of two individual beds, perfect for herself and Ruby. Emmy on the other hand, ventured to the left, noticing a large queen bed with a beautiful walk-in bathroom with lots of vanity space and a deep garden tub for personal soaking. “This is perfect!” She beamed, setting her tote down on the bed as she let her body flip onto the plush sheets.

Ruby and Jade didn’t seem the least bit bothered that Emmy had a space for herself, especially after her near-death experience. They figured she deserved the peace and quiet since she was usually the one causing the biggest scene. The youngest plucked herself from the sheets, making her way over to find Ruby and Jade equally enjoying their share of the suite, also accompanied by a large bathroom with a walk-in shower.

“Our luggage should be delivered to the suite before our dinner reservation at 6,” Emmy commented as she sat on the edge of Jade’s chosen bed, a genuine smile gracing her lips for the first time since she left her hometown. “Want to head down to the sail away party?”

“Why?!” She heard Ruby calling out from the balcony that wrapped around the entity of the suite, causing Emmy and Jade to make their way out to join her. Their eyes widened once noticing that their balcony overlooked the main pool deck, the large LED screen perfectly placed across from them as vacation-goers prepared to celebrate the ship's departure. “We could just watch it from up here.”

Jade’s jaw practically hung open as she glanced over the selection of lounge chairs on their balcony, realizing that it was a perfect place to relax away from the crowds below. Emmy leaned her elbows against the rails, noticing a bar tucked on the far side of the pool deck. “Can’t get those from up here though.” Emmy hummed as she glanced over at Ruby whose eyes narrowed in on a large frozen alcoholic drink being served to a guest below.

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Ruby peeled back the straps of her jumpsuit, exposing her bikini underneath as she ripped the fabric from her torso. “Let’s sail away!” Emmy and Jade glanced at each other with a roll of their pupils as the trio changed into their swimsuits, ready to venture down to the pool deck for the castaway celebrations.

Across the hall, a familiar group of men searched for their owner’s suites, equally enthusiastic about taking a vacation in the warmth of the Caribbean. Jungkook and Jimin settled in front of the door leading into the owner's suite closest to the port side, while Taehyung made his way to the suite directly beside them closest to the starboard side of the ship.

Taehyung was the first to tap his band over the sensor of his door, watching the mechanism click open as he explored the room he’d call his own for the next week of luxury. He walked inside, seeing the coffee nook and living space with a decent-sized balcony at the far end, before noticing a separate space for a king-size bed.

Jungkook and Jimin’s suite had a similar layout to Taehyung’s as the more brazen man of the group joined his comrades next door. “How come you didn’t book the sky suite?” His tone was judgemental toward the eldest as he leaned against the doorway of the neighboring suite, and gestured down the hallway leading to the most expensive suite on the ship.

Jimin looked back towards Taehyung as he set his bag down on the coffee table. “It was already booked. These were the only two suites left.”

Taehyung shrugged his shoulders as he left the door closed behind him, walking into his teammate's suite and he made himself comfortable on one of the couches. His eyes found Jungkook who was admiring the view from the balcony as he propped his feet up on the same coffee table beside Jimin’s belongings. “How come you’re rooming with Chimmy here?”

Jimin’s features hardened at the nickname annoyed that it stuck with the two youngest in the first place. Jungkook let out a loud chuckle as he turned to face Taehyung. “Because I don’t want to hear you banging random chicks every night.”

Jimin let out a laugh alongside Jungkook, knowing that he was by far a much more enjoyable roommate than Taehyung given his extracurricular activities. “Let’s just hope the walls are thick enough.” He offered Jungkook a concerned glare as they both shot their judgment in Taehyung’s direction.

He simply grinned with another shrug of his shoulders as a prideful smile tugged against his lips. “What can I say? Gotta give the ladies what they want.”

Jungkook ignored his sexually charged partner as he settled his belongings, thankful for a vacation after the intensity of their trip to Canada. He figured this would be the perfect opportunity to get his mind off of his klepto Barbie, knowing his sentiments for her were definitely getting in the way of his better judgment. Heck, he jumped into a frozen lake to save her without even sparing a second thought. A week of no distractions would surely help get his mind back onto the reality that they were Hustlers; they didn’t have time for feelings.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m heading to check out the ship.” Jimin interrupted as he moved toward the cabin door in hopes of escaping the remainder of his trip for a moment of tranquility. “I’ll meet up with you later tonight.”

Jungkook agreed with Jimin’s plans, wanting to go check out the ship's extensive gym to work off some steam. “Sounds good. I’m heading to the gym anyway.”

Taehyung groaned at his friend’s energy, clicking his tongue as he pushed himself up. “While you do that, I’m going to find some ladies in need of a handsome stranger's attention.” The boys simply rolled their eyes at their different opinions of how to spend their time, separating for the afternoon until they planned to meet back up at one of the ship's lounges. At least they would each get to relax in their own desired ways before setting off into the vast ocean for a week of adventures.

As the evening ensued, the male and female trios respectively made the best of the ship's amenities and entertainment. Ruby was eager to step foot into the Skywalker nightclub located on the highest deck of the floating vessel. The large glass windows surrounding the club provided the best picturesque views of the ocean while bright light strobed through the lavish space. Deep reverberations echoed through the club, as a DJ hosted some of the best hits from a booth in the center of the space.

A large dance floor surrounded the DJ as the outer rim of the space had a lounge set up with chairs and tables bordering the floor-length windows. Some guests sought the comfort of alcohol as they enjoyed the scenic views, while others tore across the dance floor for some youthful fun.

Ruby was comfortably nestled on one of the stools near the bar, glancing over the menu of specialty cocktails. Taehyung had also made his way up to the adult-only section of the ship, eager to glance over his selection of women just waiting for his seduction. The male hustler’s hawk-like stare pierced through the crowd as he drank in the sight of women sporting their sexiest vacation attire. A crooked smirk tugged on his lips at the sight of various women, taking strides across the lounge as he looked over the cruisegoers.

It wasn’t until he ventured toward the bar that he noticed a gorgeous silhouette with her legs, one draped over the other. He hummed to himself as he leaned over to order himself a drink, knowing he didn’t need any self-restraint given he was stranded on a boat for a week. He didn’t need to drive home or be responsible by any means.

The bartender made quick work of pouring him a glass of bourbon as he honed in on the gorgeously dark-skinned woman not too far from him. To his surprise, the object of his attention turned her face to reveal her identity, shock invading his features. He almost choked back his surprise at the sight of the familiar features glancing in his direction, quickly turning away to make sure he was left unseen.

He laughed sarcastically to himself, stunned that since he finally went on a vacation without the intention of purposely following the girls, one of them happened to be sitting across from him at the bar. “Well, this is interesting.” He whispered to himself as he brought his cup to his lips to suck back a gulp of the poisonous liquor. He figured if Ruby was on the ship, her two comrades must not be too far away.

Taehyung glanced down at his watch, noticing it was rapidly approaching the time he agreed to meet back up with Jungkook and Jimin. He downed the rest of his bourbon, reaching back to place his glass on the bar top before making his way back out of the nightclub, utilizing the long hallway descending from the tallest point of the ship.

Meanwhile, Emmy and Jade ventured to a more lighthearted activity, enjoying some of the ship's planned entertainment at one of the many trivia games hosted across the vessel. One of the lounges located in the middle of the ship was currently engaging in a friendly game of love song music trivia. While Ruby was off to the clubs, the other girls were eager to test their knowledge for the opportunity to win a prize of their own.

The large, open-spaced lounge surrounded a stage with a drop-down projector screen, camouflaging the jazz instruments that usually occupied the space. Instead of the nightly band entertaining guests as they mingled and grabbed a drink from the bar, the lounge was transformed into a trivia game. Various groups of guests had their own trivia sheets as they wrote down the random selection of love songs as the hostess played 15-second sections of each melody.

Emmy tapped the edge of the minuscule pencil along the table of their cushioned booth, eyeing her siesta cocktail as she awaited the start of the next song. Jade was enjoying a coconut martini as she hummed happily to each tune, excitement beaming in her eyes as she noticed their trivia sheet was rapidly filling up with what she felt were correct answers.

Low synchronized beats began to thump around the lounge as familiar lyrics suddenly came across the speakers . “I’ve got sunshine, on a cloudy day.”

Emmy instantly looked at Jade, smiling triumphantly as she wrote the words “My girl by the temptations” on the form. She twisted the paper for Jade to see, smiling proudly as the eldest cheered at her correct answer.

“That’s it!” Jade grinned as she brought her glass up to her lips, taking a sip of her drink as she relished in their success. “At this rate, we might just win this thing.”

Emmy chuckled softly as she also took a sip of her cocktail, swirling it slightly as she savored the taste. This was the first moment since her near-death experience in Canada that her body seemed to finally release its built-up tension. She sunk into the comfort of the booth, glancing around at their competition which was a mixture of adults just wanting to participate in the lighthearted game while they indulged in a drink, and some who were oddly competitive on the matter.

The last song finally echoed over the sound system as Jade was taking another sip, a loud squeak escaping her as she motioned for Emmy to give her the pencil. The youngest laughed at Jade’s youthful tipsy glow as she willingly passed over the writing utensil, watching Jade place her drink down as she quickly wrote down her answer.

Emmy couldn’t help but glance at her words, smiling when she saw “Your song, Elton John.” She grabbed her drink, holding it up to offer a cheer as Jade joined her in celebration. “With that, there’s no way we won't win this.”

The two friends clinked their glasses together as they took a sizable gulp, grinning as the MC of the event began reviewing the answers. Emmy happily checked off each song as they announced the correct title and artist, her competitive side beaming at their hopeful victory. It did take much longer for them to announce the winners, Emmy and Jade happily standing up with a near-perfect score.

The cruise hostesses of entertainment brought over a bottle of champagne for them as they concluded the music trivia, a token of their triumph. Emmy’s eyes widened as Jade happily accepted the pricey bottle of luxurious alcohol, turning back to the youngest as she plopped back down in her seat.

“To us!” She announced proudly, holding the bottle up toward Emmy, displaying the prize. Emmy smiled brightly, finding herself more amused than she originally expected to be from the activity.

“Let’s just make sure Ruby doesn’t get a hold of it first.” Emmy giggled, knowing if the brawn of their group got ahold of their token, it would be gone before they could even enjoy it.

Jade’s smile dropped at the thought, contemplating Emmy’s words as she hugged the bottle to her chest. “Yeah, you’re right.” Her tone was laced with serious intent, however, she couldn’t help but crack a smile as she glanced at Emmy. She was thankful to have shared this rare moment to enjoy themselves away from the stress of their daily lives. A week ago, she feared the loss of what she considered to be a family member. She cherished another day and another memory with one of her favorite people.

—

The seductive atmosphere of the jazz lounge was graced by the alluring voice radiating from the small stage in the middle of the space. The beguiling singer had a vintage lace dress that displayed her frame nicely to the audience as her red lips crooned the lyrics of an old classic. Jungkook’s eyes feasted at her figure as her resemblance was uncanny to the woman he was desperately trying to get his mind off of. He shook his head, turning back in the velvet booth to see Jimin on his phone.

He fiddled with his glass of whiskey before bringing the rim to his lips for a scorching gulp. With the bite of alcohol fresh down his throat, he looked to his partner with a proposal. “You know, we should do some small hustles while we’re here.” While excursions would keep them busy during the day, he needed something to do during the night and drinking would only enhance his imagination to thoughts of Emmy.

Jimin pulled his focus away from the phone, looking at Jungkook curiously. “What? Like pickpockets?” He curled his eyebrow, wondering why the youngest seemed so keen for consolation prizes when they had been going for large catches in the last few years.

“Yeah, just like old times.” Jungkook smiled, reminiscing on the days when they would regularly steal from men right under their noses, taking everything from their watches to their women.

“As long as you’re not pulling moves like V. It’s a big boat, but not that big.” Jimin was referring to Taehyung’s old routine of taking women to bed before taking some of their valuables and leaving before morning. In any other circumstance, Jimin wouldn’t have cared about his comrade's ploys, but being on a boat for several days made it difficult to run off with stolen goods.

Jungkook only chuckled, taking another sip of his whiskey. He glanced back up at the stage, his eyes trailing down the legs of the singer before drifting back up and ogling her breasts. “I could use a distraction…” He mentioned.

Jimin went to speak but was interrupted by Taehyung sweeping in through the lounge. He was surprised by how determined he seemed to reach their booth, sliding in beside Jungkook with tension in his features. “What’s wrong with you?” Jimin asked.

Taehyung glanced at the two men at the table, “There’s a target on the ship.”

Jungkook and Jimin shared a look, turning back to Taehyung for further enlightenment. “What are you talking about?” Jungkook swirled the whiskey in his glass, impatient with the suspense.

He swiftly brought the whiskey back up to take another satisfying gulp when Taehyung said, “The girls are here.” Jungkook nearly choked on the alcohol, coughing up the burning liquid.

“No fucking way.” Jungkook barely managed to cough the phrase out as Jimin’s eyes became wide.

“You saw them? Here?” Jimin glanced around the room as if they were in the jazz lounge, but luckily found the area was free of the three tantalizing women.

Taehyung slapped a hand on Jungkook’s back, keeping his eyes fixed on Jimin. “I saw the lush so I can only assume if she’s here…”

“...the others are too.” jimin finished his sentence. He quickly opened his phone, scanning through the data for any unexpected files. “It can’t be a coincidence, right?”

Jungkook finally took a long exhale, feeling his breathing settle from the lingering droplets that were stuck in his system. “Do you think they followed us?”

Jimin finished running through his system but found nothing that would indicate they had hacked his phone. “Give me your phones.” He held out his hand for them to place their devices, hoping to quickly look through them for this circumstance to make sense and not be a twist of fate. After a few moments of Jungkook and Taehyung waiting for Jimin to speak up, the oldest finally sighed in exasperation. “Nothing.”

“Then they’ve gotta be targeting someone.” Taehyung reiterated. It only made sense that the girls just so happened to be there because they were after someone with deep pockets. “Maybe it’s whosever in the sky suite.”

Jimin bit his lip, thinking of the possibilities that brought all six of them in the same place again. “Possibly…” He handed the phones back to Taehyung and Jungkook. “We just need to keep our eyes open.”

Jungkook pressed his tongue against his cheek, groaning in the back of his throat as he leaned his head back against the cushion of the booth. He was aggravated by the spark he felt when he imagined running into Emmy again. He wanted to drop the butterflies in his stomach into the ocean and watch them sink to the bottom. He dreaded running into her again, and yet, every fiber of him craved to see her.
