The House of Wind was unusually quiet. Cassian and Nesta were off on another training session in the mountains. Rhysand and Feyre had gone to Velaris for court business. Even Mor had disappeared on some mysterious errand. And that left Y/N—and Azriel. She shifted uneasily by the window, wings twitching behind her. They still felt strange, those powerful Illyrian wings the Cauldron had gifted—or cursed—her with. Another test subject. Another failed experiment before it had finally broken Elain and Nesta. She hated thinking of it that way. Hated how it made her skin feel too tight, too foreign. A shadow moved in the doorway. Azriel. He didn’t speak at first, simply leaned against the frame with a casualness that didn’t fool her for a second. His siphons glinted faintly in the fading sunlight, his shadows curling lazily around him. "You’re fidgeting," he said quietly. Y/N huffed a breath, crossing her arms over her chest. "It’s the wings. They itch." Azriel’s lips twitched—almost a smile, but not quite. "They do that. At first." He pushed away from the doorway and moved closer, each step slow and deliberate, giving her every chance to move away. She didn’t. "You don’t have to stay here with me," she said, more sharply than she meant to. "I know I’m not exactly—" She waved a hand, struggling for the word. "Pleasant company." Azriel stopped a few feet away, wings folding neatly behind him. He watched her for a long, still moment. The way only he could—without judgment. Without pity.

Lucien returned reluctantly to the Spring Court, sent by Rhysand to "check the situation"—to see if Tamlin was still a threat or merely a broken ghost of the High Lord he once was. But what he found was far more disturbing than silence and ruins. In an overgrown wing of the estate, he discovered signs of life—not Tamlin’s, but someone else’s. A young woman.

Tortuga, Midnight—Where Rum Flows Freely and Legends Are Born The air was thick with the scent of salt and spilled rum, the raucous laughter of pirates echoing off the warped wooden beams of The Siren’s Rest. Lanterns flickered, casting golden light over the debauchery—tankards clashed, dice rolled, and old sea shanties slurred their way through the smoke-filled air. At the heart of it all, perched at the finest table in the house, sat Tom Sparrow, a devil-may-care grin stretching across his face, a half-drained bottle of rum in one hand, and a gleaming golden idol in the other. His golden idol—the very prize his infamous father had been after for years. "Beat you to it, old man," Tom thought smugly, tipping his drink in an imaginary toast to Jack Sparrow’s absence. His crew roared with approval, the table rattling under the weight of their celebration. He had done what no one—especially his father—had managed. He had outplayed, outwitted, and outsailed every fool who dared chase the treasure. Tonight was his night. His victory. His legend. And yet… Just as he raised his bottle for another swig, something—or rather, someone—cut through the drunken haze of his triumph like the sharp edge of a cutlass. Across the room, in the shadows near the bar, she stood. Not a pirate, not a wench, not some forgettable face lost in the chaos of Tortuga’s nightly madness. No—she was something else entirely. Tom barely registered the way his fingers loosened around the bottle, nearly dropping it, nor the way his heart seemed to lurch in his chest like a ship caught in an unexpected storm. She was stealing something far more valuable than gold, more elusive than any map-marked treasure. She was stealing his attention. And Tom Sparrow, for all his swagger and cunning, suddenly found himself in the most dangerous predicament of his life—completely and utterly captivated.

Jack Sparrow was not one to turn down a disguise, especially when it involved sneaking into a high-society gathering where he absolutely did not belong. He had done his best—truly. His usual tattered coat had been replaced with one that almost fit, its gold embroidery slightly frayed but still giving the illusion of respectability. His boots were polished, though the left one still had an unfortunate tendency to squeak. His cravat was loosely tied in a way that suggested he had either dressed in a hurry or had no idea what he was doing. And atop his head sat a rather distinguished-looking hat—one he may or may not have borrowed from an unsuspecting nobleman earlier that morning. He strode through the lush garden with as much grace as a pirate could muster, resisting the urge to swagger. Before him, beneath the shade of a grand palm, a group of impeccably dressed women sat around a tea table, their laughter light, their eyes sharp. The Wisteria Society, if the rumors were true. Jack adjusted his cuffs, straightened his posture, and grabbed the silver tray he had stolen from a passing servant. With a flourish, he approached the table and, in his most refined tone, announced, “Ladies. I do believe your tea is in need of a… distinguished pourer.” Silence. The women turned to him in unison, their expressions unreadable. One arched a perfectly shaped brow. Jack grinned, pouring tea into the nearest cup—missing slightly but recovering quickly. “So,” he continued, unfazed, “who here might be in possession of a particularly interesting map?”

Bruce took another sip of champagne, but the taste was as bland as the evening itself. He was about to make his way toward the exit when something caught his eye—someone unusual. A woman stood alone in front of a painting, her gaze fixed on the details as if she actually cared. Unlike the rest of the guests, she wasn’t here for the networking, the empty conversations, or the spectacle. She was here for the art. For a brief moment, Bruce felt something rare—a spark of curiosity. Maybe, just maybe, the night wasn’t a complete waste after all.

The night hung heavy over the Port Royal harbor, lanterns casting flickering light across the dark waters. Captain Jack Sparrow moved with his usual mix of graceful clumsiness and improbable luck, his hat tilted at an angle and his sword drawn. Ahead of him, another pirate ran—one foolish enough to steal from him. With a nimble leap, Jack vaulted over a fishmonger’s table, casually tipping his hat to the startled merchant before continuing the chase. His quarry grabbed a rope, swinging over a low rooftop—Jack followed, but instead of using the rope, he kicked off a leaning barrel, launching himself over the obstacle with a flourish. Their swords met in a narrow alley, blades flashing in the moonlight. Steel clashed against steel in a dance of skill and cunning. Jack, ever playful, ducked and spun away from strikes, as if enjoying a game rather than a deadly duel. His opponent was quick, but Jack was quicker—or rather, he knew how to use his surroundings. The fight spilled out into the harbor, over barrels and crates, up rigging and across narrow beams, their weapons never ceasing. At last, they reached the end of the pier, the sea stretching dark and endless beneath them. The pirate glanced back, realizing there was nowhere left to run. Jack raised his sword with a broad grin. "Now we’ve got ourselves a bit of a predicament, haven’t we?" The pirate made a desperate move, but Jack was faster—one precise flick of his blade sent their sword flying into the water. Silence hung between them for a moment. Then, with the lightest nudge of his finger, Jack tipped the pirate off balance, sending them splashing into the sea below.
