Summary
He hesitates. “Do you know, I - I saw a photograph of you, in a magazine. You were standing in the ruins of a church. It must have been while you were stationed there.”
The blush that fills his cheeks tells Vincent, as clear and firm as the chime of a bell, that Thomas had not seen the photo a few days or even weeks ago but perhaps years, and that he had remembered it ever since. He had remembered Vincent, and he is ashamed to admit it although he does not quite know why.
Oh, Vincent thinks, oh – you? And – of course. For there can be no one else. Not for him.
(Vincent remembers, and Thomas forgets.)

Summary
Izzy Hands is fairly certain the flower shop across from his tattoo parlour is a money laundering front. There’s hardly any customers, and the owner, a flamboyant man named Stede, seems to have a very laissez faire approach to running a business, allowing his employees to lurk about Izzy’s shop instead of attending to their own affairs.
Izzy gets caught up in untangling the mystery and ends up getting caught in the man himself along the way.Series

Summary
“Uh, I…hey?” Ed tried.
Izzy and Stede stopped talking and turned to look at him. Stede smiled pleasantly, but Izzy’s expression was harder to read.
“Oh, Ed,” Stede said. “It’s nice to see you on deck. How are you feeling today?”
“Fine,” Ed said. “Fine, I just…uh.” He directed the next thing he said to Izzy. “I thought you might…this is for you.” He offered Izzy the tin mug.
Izzy stared at it without speaking. Hurt, surprise, longing, wariness, wistfulness flickered across his face before he clamped down on them, setting his jaw. He took the mug and dumped it out into the sea.
A fic where Izzy figures out his new place in the world through the love and care of the crew and Ed tries to patch up their marriage through food.

He checks the knot automatically, it’s fine. Snaps his neck up to do a headcount -
“Edward!”
The yell makes his stomach turn, he hasn’t heard Stede scream like that in a very long time. He wipes the rain out of his eyes and looks towards Stede, whose hands are on the ship’s rail, gazing horrified at the ocean. Ed’s gone overboard.

Or or: Not your usual rescue story.

Summary
If you asked Izzy Hands what it's like to manage Edward's drag bar (since the man does happen to also be his ex), he'd tell you to fuck off because he's too busy and too fucking tired to think about it. The truth is, he can't imagine himself doing anything else.
That is, until some prick named Stede Bonnet opens a queer-friendly cafe across the road - although you'd never know it, from the amount of time he spends hanging around watching their shows.
That is, until Edward starts... getting better. Being happier. Wanting to try getting on stage again, for the first time since his career-ending injury.
That is, until Roach, the weird baker from across the road starts stealing his cigarettes at four in the morning when he's clocking off, and he starts to remember what it's like to actually enjoy himself again.

Summary
Prompt fill:
Stede observing how Izzy always rubs his eyes, his temples, squinting, sighing. And just being grumpy. Which isn't anything new.But it's when he sees Izzy fidgeting with one of the ledgers, squinting, angling it, bringing it closer then moving it away, he has a realization. Izzy needs glasses.
And if Ed's heart grows three sizes larger when he sees Izzy relaxed and cooperative when Stede puts the new glasses on Izzy in the co-captains' quarters, Stede fixing his hair around the temple, well - all the better.

Summary
The automated voice calls out a semi-cheerful “Thank you! Please hold,” and the line begins to ring.
Once, twice and then;
“Well, howdy there.”
His voice feels like a sip of scotch, low and rumbling warmly through Izzy’s chest.
1996. Izzy follows Ed (because he always follows Ed) to sunny Los Angeles when he decides he wants to be a movie star. Lonelier than he's ever been, he calls a 900 number and meets Jack Rackham, who makes things interesting.
