Summary
“How do you always know what I’m thinking?”
“You’re easy to read, Edwin Paine,” he darts out a tongue to lap at the blood on his split lip and grins like he’s proven a point when Edwin follows the motion with interest. “You wear your heart on your sleeve, no matter how much you try not to.”
“I think,” Edwin tries, but the hand around his neck is tight. He closes his eyes, because he likes it and because he really shouldn’t. “I think you look too closely.”
“At you? Always.”

Summary
"What were you really doing?" Will asks him quietly. "This is mad, even for you."
"Not sure," Jack mutters, trying to recall some sense of purpose before things went slightly pear-shaped. "My damn compass doesn't work."
"Ah," says Will, as if this makes perfect sense to him. "So Captain Jack doesn't know what he wants."
"I just want some peace and quiet," Jack retorts petulantly, opening one eye to glare half-heartedly at Will's smirking face.
"Well, you've come to the right place."After Hector Barbossa makes off with the Pearl yet again, Jack takes some time to reevaluate the true meaning of freedom.

Summary
Izzy looks to Edward, mouth working helplessly.
“Just let it happen, mate,” Ed suggests.
“I was hoping,” Stede continues, a little irritated by the lack of support, “that you’d let me—and Ed—know if there’s anything we could be doing differently, to make you more comfortable.”(Or: How Izzy Hands learned to stop worrying and love his co-captains.)

It doesn't sink in until he's back on The Revenge, until he's staring aimlessly out at the dark seas with his hands on the wheel and Ivan asks him where Frenchie has gotten to, that they’d wanted to use him as a practice dummy for the new throwing axes they’d taken from a pirate ship that Izzy has already forgotten the name of.
“Threw him overboard,” Izzy grumbles. “We have our flag. Blackbeard has no use for him now.”
Ivan doesn’t question him.

Summary
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”
“Um- you know- crow’s nest things. Looking mostly.” Frenchie swallows, his mouth suddenly very very dry.
“And can you tell me exactly when you were told that was your duty today?” Izzy crosses his arms and glares up at Frenchie, he notices that the smaller man looks awfully tired.
“You know, in the morning, some time.”Or in which Frenchie saves the day in a rare moment of sanity and somehow manages to fall his way into seducing Izzy Hands of all people.

The core concepts had always seemed fairly simple to Stede: block like that, swing like this, try not to get stabbed. Izzy made it look infinitely more complicated and somehow, too easy. He moved like water, without hesitation.

Summary
Roach's shoulder is acting up, and as much as he insists he'll be fine on his own carrying a week's worth of the Bonnet household's groceries to and from the car, Izzy doesn't believe him.
The Bonnet kids have never been grocery shopping before, because rich people are just like that, apparently.
Either way, they're all piling into Izzy's car right now, so even if he did regret his decision to drive them all to the market, it's too late to back out now.
