Jim reports to the Captain’s quarters. They are approaching the English fleet, as instructed. “Yeah, well, great, fantastic,” says Captain Frenchie. “Initiate plan A.”
The English fleet looks at the approaching ship. Surely it can’t be pirates. No pirate captain is dumb enough to approach warships. They spy a white flag on the ship. The bridge appears to be on fire. The occupants seem to be merchants in distress.
Once aboard an English ship, Black Pete confirms they were indeed attacked by pirates. A Christmas Day attack no less. Clearly these pirates were godless and had no regard for a holy day. Lucius says they were bringing food and clothing to the poor on behalf of a Dutch merchant.
The rest of the English fleet is dispatched to find and destroy the “pirate attackers.” The captain of the English fleet consoles our crew. Prince Richard has mostly cleared the seas of piracy. He’s parlayed the destruction of the Republic of Pirates into becoming Governor of nearby New York.
Jim says they’re huge fans of Prince Ricky. The captain tells them they’re headed to his Christmas festivity in New York City. Frenchie feigns surprise at this. He’d love to meet the Prince Governor. The captain laughs. His Highness doesn’t make a habit of granting average merchants an audience.
Best bed time story ever! Ed and Stede built their dream, they have now been together for two years. And there’s Ed, laying a formal table and caring about the beauty in it. Ed’s finally able to be ed, and has his love with him :) Thank you for this!!!
This is the best Christmas gift I got this year bar none! Even if it is just the story/script and it never gets made .. it will be enough. Well, not really but still .. thank you for sharing regardless. 💚💚 A glimmer of hope as we enter the second Dark Ages. Bless you 🙂
Thank you for the Christmas fanfic! (You can write fanfic of your own work, I'm like 99% sure the creator of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is on AO3)
david thank you so much for this pirate christmas eve bedtime story and for making all of our holidays so much brighter 🥰 sending love and cheer to you and your family! merry christmas 🎄
Just gonna point out that Archie, Fang, The Swede, Lucius, Black Pete and Roach would also be a great cast of characters for a sitcom set at a cheesesteak place in Philly.
I have only one request. The wedding at the inn should be another Badminton brother (cue Ed whispering "how could you forget him??" Stede "I forgot they were triplets!") and the whole family is played by Rory Kinnear. Groom? Rory. Bride? Rory. Grandma? Rory. And they'll attempt to murder Stede ofc.🎄
So much love back at you pirate dad (and real life tired new dad). Enjoy this special first Christmas with your wee one! We managed to keep it together (mostly) and enjoyed your gift very much! 🏴☠️🏳️🌈🍊🎄
Thank you always for creating this show & this community that still grows in spite of everything

I can’t scream in my room with my family watching The Holiday David!! But I am screaming inside my head. Cheering even, by way of clarification. And crying. So many tears.
