Shepard:
As part of my education, I think it would be appropriate if you and I participated in rituals found in all human cultures. Reply, and we can meet at the new apartment.
"Rituals?" Shepard wondered.

Summary
“You were slow today.” He murmurs, and Izzy flinches at the cold, metal edge tracing just above the leather. “Wasting time with those fuckin' guards when you could’ve been helping Ivan. Sloppy.”
“I was in a rush,” he says, or maybe gasps, because Ed is—
—sinking to his knees with his hands braced on Izzy’s thighs, his nose brushing the soft skin there, nuzzling like he’s missed it. Like he’s starved for it.
The price of staying.Series

Summary
Sure, maybe it’s not the norm for a pirate captain to leave as much to their first mate as Ed does to Izzy. Maybe it’s not the norm for a pirate captain to even have a first mate. But Ed is still sure that first mates aren’t meant to talk to their captains like this. He’s even more sure that nobody is meant to talk to Blackbeard like this. That’s the whole point of the old bastard, isn’t it? Otherwise, what’s he even doing?
Something black and slippery curls in Ed’s stomach. It’s an old, familiar feeling that he’s never been able to put a name to, but it’s always demanded the same thing: loyalty. Above all else, loyalty.
Ed's been captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge for too fucking long. He has half a dozen ships sailing in his fleet, more treasure than he knows what to do with, and he couldn’t care less about any of it. It’s all Blackbeard’s, anyway, not his. Even Izzy belongs to Blackbeard, really. And if the man wants reminding of that fact sometimes? Well, Ed can do that.

Summary
'“I just wanted to thank you for–” is all Izzy gets out before Bonnet turns and spears him with a look so odious it burns.
And still, it’s less than he deserves, less than he got from Ed so close to the end.
The crew, none the wiser, ham it up or go about their tasks with all the enthusiasm of a second chance at life. Unable to do either, Izzy upends his mop crutch and does his best to clear the deck of splintered wood and crusted salt and gunpowder.
“Hey, no, no, no.” Fang nags his efforts, dumping armfuls of rotten wood onto Izzy’s tiny pile of dust. “We’ve got this sorted, boss. You get some rest.”
Izzy doesn’t argue. Just limps without thinking and winds up in the same place as always, standing outside of that low door. No longer concealed, it hangs ajar and lit from within, Bonnet’s lantern flickering as he weeps.'

Or, I heard Archie say: "Can we talk about the fucked up sleeping arrangements?" and immediately wanted to explore how the two crews split rooms on the Revenge.

Then things escalate again.

Summary
“I see what you’re doing, love,” Anne says, a small smile playing at the edge of her mouth. She turns her attention to Izzy. “Fine, we’ll help you with your stupid heist.”
“What?!” Izzy and Mary say in unison, incredulity evident on both their faces.
“Heist?” Archie says, her ears perking up. Maybe she should’ve paid attention to why they were coming here after all.Anne holds up a finger, a lopsided grin breaking out. “If—” she looks at Archie, and oh, the smouldering gaze makes something warm pool in Archie’s guts. “This lovely thing wants to play with us.”

Summary
Noun. [Term originating from the Roman Empire] The pater familias was the oldest living male in a household, and could legally exercise autocratic authority over his extended family. The term is Latin for "father of the family" or the "owner of the family estate".
After their escape from the nautiloid vessel, Astarion joins the party of Lillen Anmactíre, a High Elf rogue like himself - much older but no less compelling, and with a storied past of his own behind him. Astarion finds in due course that this priest of Oghma, a grey-haired father-of-two, is by no means the dashing hero he might have worried about, nor as simple as he might have hoped.

Summary
Was it wishful to consider this man changed? Chagrined? Humbled by a rejection that seemed pretty damn final and the resulting scurvid slog across the barrenlands? Probably. But damn if it wouldn't be a hell of a lot easier to be puppetmastered by him again.
