Summary: Herrie de Caut has a stroke of luck near the end of his first voyage as captain. The nature of the luck is all a matter of viewpoint.
Notes: Written for absolute_negation as my contribution to the sixth annual 7th Night Saiyuki Alternative Universe Gift!fic exchange. The prompt was "Suspiciously serene ship's captain meets suspiciously well-dressed pirate." That got me thinking about the corsairs as presented in the works of historical fiction author Dorothy Dunnett. Beta by smillaraaq, sine qua non.
