    Summary

    Those times when the Skandian national hockey team ran the world are long gone. But Erak, who used to be the captain of the unstoppable dream team and now is the coach of the juniors, feels like there is hope on the horizon, or more specifically, in the junior dressing room. He just needs to stop the young players from killing each other until the end of the championships, and explain to them that hockey is a team sport for a reason.

    But maybe, the solution for his problem may be easier to find than he initially thought. And maybe, it has a shape of a kid who was dragged into the team by one of his old teammates.

    or me, thinking putting herons, sharks and wolves into one hockey team was a good idea

    Summary

    “I don’t have a husband,” Izzy says. “You've got the wrong patient.”

    “No,” the nurse says, “It was the number listed as your emergency contact. He said he’ll be here in fifteen minutes. A Stede Bonnet?”

    Summary

    Excerpt:
    The entire crew was either extremely scared of the former Kraken (Lucius, Frenchie, and Fang) or murderous and on the verge of slicing his throat whenever they were alone with him (Jim, Archie, Pete, Ivan). The rest of the crew (Oluwande, Wee John, Roach) was more impartial, but didn’t hide their disdain for Edward in any way.
    "Edward and I are hoping that by spending time one-on-one, the crew get to have a personal apology and see that Edward can be the man the two of us know he can be."

    Or: the three most powerful men on the Revenge all had their individual mission: Edward wants the crew to forgive him for what he had done to them; Bonnet keeps pestering Izzy to teach him how to be a fucking pirate, and Izzy is here, struggling to teach the crew how to survive. Because in a a bit over a week, they’re going to reach their next port. And Izzy wants to fucking leave.

    (This fic takes off at during the events of s2ep5 and takes it from there. Up until this point, canon exists (except for Ivan’s death – he’s alive and kicking in this one!), but let’s see if the upcoming events are going to happen in this story.)

    Summary

    The Revenge sails forth. Ed and Stede try out retirement. Frenchie, Zheng, and Olu try out co-captaincy. All seems well—until it quickly isn’t.

    Meanwhile in the afterlife, Izzy finds some old friends, discovers a new one, and starts down an unexpected path.

    A post season 2 story about unfinished business, second chances, and life beginning again. Part one of three. Izzy-centric but everyone has a story and role to play.

    Summary

    For a minute all is dark and suffocating.

    Then with a strength not known to mortal bones, Izzy Hands begins to dig.

    Those first few moments are not anything. They exist not in the land of the living or the dead but will float forever in a limbo of half-real haze, impossible to recall. Here is what you need to know:

    The movement of his arms is excruciating.

    The pressure is unbearable.

    His hands break the surface and the first breath of air feels like another kind of death entirely.
    ------
    Three months after being buried by the inn, Izzy inexplicably comes back.
