    Summary

    Captain drags his hand across his face like he always does. Bonnet leans out from next to him with a frown.

    “He’s barely more than a child, Ed,” he says. “You can’t expect him to run a whole ship.”

    Izzy moves quickly and finds himself clotheslined by Captain’s giant fucking arm. He bares his teeth over it as he’s moved slowly back into position next to the bird helmsman.

    “I do, actually. Because he can, if he’d only put his mind to it,” Captain says.

    (AU where everything is the same but Izzy is 16 years old, and that changes oh, so much.)

    Summary

    “Are you asking, Mr. Hands, if you can leave us for a month or two to sail up north?” Stede clarifies.

    “Ah, you have no idea, Bonnet,” Izzy says. “Since I was a lad, there’s nothin’ I’ve wanted more than to get out there with those—those—” Izzy makes pinching gestures at the horizon, so utterly enraptured with the thought of whales that he’s apparently forgotten the name of them.

    It is, Stede hates to admit, unbelievably endearing.

    “Of course you may go, Izzy,” Stede says.

    “What?” Ed blurts out. “Wait. Didn’t we just talk about this?”

    (Izzy is desperate to go a-whaling. Stede is desperate for him and Ed to distance themselves from their rancid codependency. Ed wants his matelot's forgiveness and his boyfriend's devotion, but first and foremost he wants to maim a fucking whaler.)
