Was scrolling through my folders and I think I never posted this? Based on a really old scenario where Avarice loses Alice in a gamble with Lucius and she’s going full tiger mum on him to treat her well.
Listen, in season 2 of Our Flag Means Death I want Lucius’ ghost (KEEP READING) to be tormenting Blackbeard the same way Nigel’s ghost was tormenting Stede, EXCEPT I want it all to turn out to be a Fuckery Lucius was pulling off to survive— revealed at the time the OG crew reaches the Revenge.
I want Lucius to be living in the walls in all of Stede’s secret passages (Ed only saw one) and covering himself in seaweed, make up and water to seem dead, maybe by the end of it several of the crew are helping him pull it off by acting like they can’t see or hear him as he takes notes and teases Blackbeard around them (Fang, obviously, Frenchie and Jim, and maybe even Ivan).
Bonus points if we see a ridiculous sequence of how Lucius managed to cling to the ship.
Blackbeard finally hissing out he’s being tortured by The Boy’s ghost at some point makes Izzy annoyed as fuck that he’s going soft, after a while he thinks BB has finally lost it- we get a lovely romantic reunion between Black Pete and a seemingly dead Lucius, which we all deserve- BP 100% thinks Lucius is an actual ghost at first (and Buttons remains suspicious for the rest of the season) THE END.
