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.)

Summary
An Omega’s emotional and material needs must be met before they can present. They must want for nothing, know no scarcity, and (most importantly of all) feel safe.
Perhaps Stede should have considered this before he reclaimed captaincy of the Revenge and helped Ed lay the Kraken to rest – especially since, six months later, one very bewildered Israel Hands goes into the first heat of his life.

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.)

Until a few weeks later, Ed kisses him.
Otherwise known as the fic where Stede assumes Ed and Izzy are married so he's now part of a throuple, and ends up saving a marriage that didn't actually exist in the first place.
