    Summary

    No one left alive knows that Izzy isn’t strictly human, and he’s worked damn hard to keep it that way. He’s perfectly content to live the rest of his life without speaking the truth to anyone–Edward included–shoving any and all yearning for the sea and his true form down deep inside him where it belongs. He is, after all, good at denying himself what he wants most.

    It's all going smoothly right up until Stede throws his life into utter chaos. Again. In the aftermath of a storm and a captain gone overboard, Izzy has to contend with the consequences of a lifetime’s worth of secrets being suddenly brought to light.

    Hopefully he can do that before things go too disastrously off the rails.

    Summary

    Life with Blackbeard was simple as it could get when you were a pirate: do you job right or don't, get the shit beat out of you or don't. Izzy had loved how easy it was, just following the orders of his captain and knowing he didn't have to be anything other than First Mate Hands.

    But now Edward has them living on the idiot Bonnet's ship where it's all different and no one seems to feel that telling Izzy why he isn't needed the same way he was before important. It's driving him insane, ready to chew his damn hand off just to get a release from the tension brewing inside him.

    Unfortunately for Izzy, energy with no where to go will eventually force its way up, and the night Edward catches him trying to sneak off is the final straw for them both.

    AKA. Izzy being emotionally repressed and struggling to understand that people in his life care about him is an amazing concept so I just HAD to write a story about it

    Summary

    "He’s a pirate, he knows these things: the sun sets west, hardtack spoils last, and life is never fair. Fairness is for children and the dead. But these lessons, at the very least, were consistent."

    Nothing has gone right for Izzy Hands from the very second he set foot on Stede Bonnet's ship. His old life is gone, this vessel is a mess, and no one wants him around, least of all himself. It gets easier and easier to stop living in his life. Well, until he finds himself in pieces on Stede Bonnet's floor.

    That makes things a bit more difficult.

    OR

    Izzy is autistic. because he is.

    Summary

    “Captain?” The man asks instead. “This isn’t the Queen Anne’s Revenge?”

    “This is The Revenge.” Stede clarifies.

    The man closes his eyes, sucks a breath in through his teeth, the lights flare again.

    “Have you sacrificed any poultry recently?” A ridiculous question, asked completely seriously.

    “I did request Roach make up a canard a l’orange so I suppose someone in the vicinity may have.”

    In which Edward summons a demon, Izzy gets lost en route, and Stede finds himself one corner of a very complicated love triangle.

    Summary

    Israel Hands has done pretty well for himself all things considered. The war was rough, couldn't lie about that even if he wanted to. Not to mention how he lost the closest person he ever had to family to a rich asshole.
    Still, he had his work and he had Lucius. So he was doing pretty damn well for himself.
    That is until his past comes strolling right through his front door, bringing a whole mess of bullshit right along with it.

    Summary

    Post reunion where all is calm, all except for the every busy Izzy. Where the tension in his shoulders and irritation in his eyes never seem to soften. Except one day Roach accidently buys catnip when The Revenge reached harbor instead of oregano and in turn (catboy) Izzy gets high off his rocker while he ate his dinner in secret in Stede's library. Izzy knew that the captains should be gone all night along side the crew, they always are when they reach land. At least that is what he thought as reassurance as he indulged in his spiked dinner.

    Summary

    Now that Izzy is back home safe and sound, Isabella hopes life can go back to normal. But both she and Izzy have been left scarred by their encounters in more ways than one. Changes are coming, both good and bad, and she's found changes in herself as well that she doesn't know how to weather and even try to hide. What she can say for certainty is that the hardest thing in all this is accepting help. As much as she tries to hide, everyone around her can see through her like window glass; she's starting to fall apart.

    Summary

    Izzy took another, larger gulp of wine, and let it set into his stomach before he ventured, “Am I…being seduced?”
    “Would you like to be?”
    “He’s…” Izzy searched for a satisfactory way to define the unit of Edward-and-Stede that had formed in the whirlwind months since the once-and-for-all banishment of the Kraken. Finding all options deeply lacking, Izzy settled on, “Yours.”
    Edward showed his teeth, an easy and sly expression, and leaned very far forward to whisper, “And you’re mine.”
    “Still?”
    “Mm.” Edward pulled away. His eyes, some of that deep sadness creeping into them again, swept briefly down to the horsey-leg. “If you still want.”

    Izzy lets himself succumb to the wiles of Stede Bonnet, and in the process receives a lesson in the art of loving Edward Teach.

    Summary

    "If I'm being honest," Stede begins, letting Izzy go. The man stays where he is, leaning into his space. "I have no idea how I'd even begin talking you down." He says with a sigh. "I just knew that if you saw Lucius coming you'd have jumped before he could even try."
    "Yeah." Izzy huffs, laughing quietly. "You're probably right."

    After a fight with Ed, Izzy finds himself seeking the comforting embrace of death. Stede gets to him first.

    Summary

    Now, as he registered Edward looming at the top of the stairs, hair over his eyes, surrounded by darkness, Izzy was beginning to understand that there were worse things than death.

    ------

    After having his love yanked out of his grasp, Ed’s psyche snaps in half, leaving destruction and agony in its wake. Afraid and with nowhere left to turn, Izzy reflects on what love means to him, and how things went so wrong.

    Each paragraph inspired by a different verse of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. Best enjoyed while listening to Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. My thoughts are just an endless stream of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

    Summary

    Blackbeard is a world-renowned travel host, known for exploring dangerous places, old battlefields, and the sites that humanity would prefer to forget. He's finding it all a bit of a drain.

    New travel host the Gentleman Tourist prefers the uplifting sites, the temples, the art, the places of diplomacy, though he doesn't shy away from the dark side of things.

    They've both been sent to South Korea to explore the country, eat the food, meet the people, and package it up for their audiences back home.

    Summary

    "Sure. Two rooms for one then."
    "Oh no, no, surely not, room for one."
    The innkeeper does as asked, he is not paid to ask question, and if these two want to share a bed, it's not his problem.
    He charges for two people and the man pays for one, raising an eyebrow in his direction when he goes to complain.

    A twist on the One Bed trope.
