    Summary

    God, Ed was obsessed with that voice. Wanted to rub it all over himself, to drink it, to drown in it. To take it apart and see what it was made out of. He wondered if Izzy understood that when they sang together they were touching - voice to voice, from lungs to throat to air.

     

    In the run-up to Calypso's party, things are tense on the Revenge. Stede is still learning how to be a captain, and a pirate. The crew don't trust him, and they certainly don't trust Ed Teach. The relationship between Izzy and Edward is strained by what they've been through, for all that Izzy and Stede are growing friendlier the more time they spend training. Ed's doing his best to make amends - to Izzy, to the ship, to everyone - and to sort his head out, but it's not easy. Meanwhile Stede and Ed are taking things slow, finding their way on shaky new ground.

    While trying to work out how to fix all the things he's broken, Stede ends up asking about how Izzy and Ed met. Separately, the two of them tell him a story about pubs and pirates, about marriages and villains, shanties and sea battles, and of the Republic of Pirates itself. And for Stede, it changes everything.

    With original songs by Doll_After_Dark!

    Summary

    Mary is busy bathing Louis and Izzy wishes he had sails to mind for all that he hates standing idle. He sighs out a single breath and asks, “Do you want to learn how to navigate by the stars?”

    It’s an echo of the same offer he’d make to any boy on a ship that was scared at the prospect of a night on deck. Alma looks up at him, serious and attentive. “You’d teach me?”

    Summary

    "I don't have demands," Bonnet says. "This isn't a hostage negotiation. But to start, I think we should stop quarreling over him like a pair of hungry jackals."

    Summary

    It’s humiliating enough for his feelings for Edward to be called love. Love is soft and sentimental, all kittens and perfume, and what Izzy feels for Edward is more akin to the way a ship needs the wind and the waves, no matter how roughly they beat at its sails and hull.
    And don’t all sailors succumb to the sea eventually?
    His grip tightens on the oars. No. Fuck that. If Bonnet is what it takes for Edward to ride out whatever storm Blackbeard has become, Izzy will deliver Bonnet to him.

     

    After Ed, grieving and angry, banishes Izzy from the Revenge, there's only one thing Izzy can think of doing to earn his forgiveness. Unfortunately, it's going to involve spending a lot of time with Stede fuckin' Bonnet.
