    Summary

    “English is his first language.”

    Ainosuke ceases his rambling.

    “I’ll take responsibility—”

    “Sir. He grew up in Canada”

    “I know that.”

    “They speak English in Canada.”

    Or: Langa fails an assignment. Ainosuke stages an intervention, and Reki follows after.

    Summary

    Izzy looks over at Stede, gingerly attempting to coo at a cat that hates him while she shreds his expensive, fancy slippers to pieces. His heart aches in a new and terrible way that has nothing to do with Ed, for once. ‘If you’re sure.’

    The smile Stede gives him is warm, a weighty significance to it that Izzy doesn’t know how to read. ‘I am.’


    Or, Izzy finds himself at the centre of the ocean's weirdest found family, and acquires two boyfriends along the way.

    The whole series is a gem. Start with the first fic and enjoy - Izzy's just perfect in this one and the humour is on point!

    Summary

    [EDIT: Written between season 1 and season 2.]

    The toe thing is not going well for Izzy. He has taken his usual attitude to self-care, and if Blackbeard doesn’t find someone to remove the leg, he will be down a first mate. Unfortunately, the nearest thing to a surgeon within 100 miles is Roach, so on top of everything else, an awkward reunion with Stede is on the cards.

    Izzy reacts to losing his leg with exactly the amount of patience and good grace you would expect, and it affects morale to the extent that the captains (yeah, the reunion went well) are forced to take desperate measures: an all-crew workshop on how to cheer him up. Izzy doesn’t do cheerful. But, forced to confront the fact that his usual methods of interacting with the world no longer work – and never did, really – he might just have to change to survive.

    (Also, there’s a magic potion from an otter witch.)

    Summary

    Written after watching 2x05 because I can't wait for the next episode (canon compliant until then). Also I want Izzy and Ed to talk things through, and I want them to fuck (but also want Stede to be more-than-fine with that.)

    Very cute. Love the writing style (might be a good translation exercise)
