Summary
"Izzy is left panting hard, still crouched over Stede's body, his teeth bared, and one arm clutching a dagger that faces outward, in case anyone gets any fucking ideas.
But when he blinks, the world around him has shifted. The entire crew is staring at him, Ed is staring at him, the fucking seagull is staring at him-
“Izzy,” Stede says very softly, from underneath him, “I'm quite alright. You protected me very well.”
Izzy's ears ring with whining he doesn't understand, and he shakes his head to clear the sound, his sight locking on Bonnet safe beneath him.
When he blinks again, arms are circling gently around his own. He growls, but a strong hand tweaks his wrist and he's forced to drop the knife. Those arms drag him backwards and he howls wildly, thrashing with his entire body to be set free.
“Shh, hon,” it's Spriggs's voice that comes to him, and Izzy can't bring himself to hate that he knows this voice so intimately, “he's safe. You're safe, too, but you're got to be hurting pretty bad, can't you feel it?”"
Or: Izzy learns that being taken care of when you're hurting can feel pretty good. Soft, more or less, with some blood.

Summary
It wasn't just jealousy. Calling it jealousy would have been like calling a cracked skull-- split-bone, brains to the floor bad-- a wee problem.
After Ed fucks off to become a fisherman, Izzy and Stede go back the ship together.
Meanwhile, Jim reconsiders their position on revenge.

Summary
They don’t discover the stowaway until they’re three days out from Saint Augustine. A moment later, Ivan stumbles onto the deck, and in his arms is a struggling, hissing bundle. Izzy recognizes the mantilla right away.
Inspired by Favfi's art of little Jim with Ed and Izzy!

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.
