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.

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.

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.

@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.

This is a piece ripping off a twitter post and I gotta say that twitter post is absolutely wrong, the big stupid cruise ship is not "late capitalism", the big stupid cruise ship is an ostentatious throwback to "high capitalism", this is a vacation for satisfying the hordes of middle-class people, this isn't some sort of stupid financial product or subscription service, get this shit right people.
