    Summary

    Desperate to pull Ed back from the abyssal brink of the Kraken, Izzy makes a deeply guarded confession. Their long history together can’t open a path back in time to repair the damage, but it can help them chart a better course forward. That is, until Stede Bonnet returns from the grave with the marooned crew of the Revenge to interrupt and complicate their reconciliation.

    .

    “You should talk to him,” Izzy says in a low voice, resting a hand on Ed’s arm. “Privately.”
     
    “What?” Ed scowls and flicks his eyes over to Stede, who is pretending not to be able to hear them from where he is admiring Mary’s painting.

    Izzy sighs. “It’s unresolved, Edward. Trust me, this isn’t the kind of thing to let fester.” He squeezes Ed’s arm gently. “Talk to him. Get the answers you need.”
     
    Ed’s shoulders relax minutely, the hard set of his jaw loosening. Izzy crosses the cabin to Stede. He snaps his fingers and holds out his palm to Bonnet. “Knife.” He shoots a glance to Edward. “You, too.” Stede pulls his ornate dagger in its sheath from his belt and hands it over without a fuss. Ed does the same a bit more begrudgingly. “Don’t fucking kill each other.”

    This fic diverges from canon during The Art of Fuckery, when Stede interprets Izzy's challenge to a "fucking duel" considerably more literally than intended.

    Summary

    Not long after the night at the theater, with Guillermo de-caged and the household searching tenuously for a new normal, Nandor comes to him, metaphorical cursed hat in hand, and says, “Now that you are my bodyguard, Guillermo, we need to talk about how you will keep your fighting skills sharp.”

    Summary

    Soul marks disappear from the flesh of the dead — and the undead, too, as it turns out. But does that mean that the connection to their soul mate fades as well? And what does that mean for the soul itself?

    (These questions are all way above Guillermo’s pay grade.)
