It's marvelous idea! I love how you managed to decrease tonal shift between seasons and not throw away s2ep1-3 darkness, which I personally really like. Using Anne and Mary to both give crew time to heal and show OTP how they can be together while staying absolutely mad is really great and budget-friendly move. I don't really get why crew on Revenge has to hide before Hornigold is caught up with them,though.It's not like somebody on the ship already,or did I miss smth?

thank you! I didn't realize until you said it that "decreasing tonal shift between seasons" was something I wanted to do with this, actually, so thank you for the insight.

[pretend mid-season] "Using Anne and Mary [...] show OTP how they can be together while staying absolutely mad" – I loved canon 2x04 but the part that was weirdest to me wasn't when Buttons turned into a seagull; it was definitely when Anne was flicking the knife in Mary's back and Ed *wasn't* like "hell yeah." He's exactly that weird, lmao

[pretend 2x08] "I don't really get why crew on Revenge has to hide before Hornigold is caught up with them, though" – very fair! No, you didn't miss anything; there's not a spy on board or anything like that. I imagined it more like, first they're hanging out on deck all day, but then Hornigold's ship sees them and they get nervous and go down below. And then they keep getting more scared/more jumpy thinking that maybe Hornigold's ship can see them when they're in each place (the main cabin, the galley) – so they finally just pack into the smallest place they can think of, the deathbed room.

My idea was to make it both a silly retreat (like, you think Hornigold can see you in *there?* lol) and a symbolic one; they really think they're on their deathbed. They're really all packed in to where we saw two people die ("die") earlier in the season (Izzy, then Ed), so I get to foreshadow that whatever happens with Hornigold is going to be as serious as that.
