    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    The room is not big, but it's not small either. It doesn't look much like an office except for the crammed in desks and typewriters. The floor is wood, stained dark. Light streams in through a barely-open window, lending all of the brown a forgiving sheen of gold. The rain must have stopped.

    Several of the desks are overfilled with knick-knacks and books, definitely not in a suitable state to work at. Behind one of these, a man sits with his feet on top of the table and its contents, ankles crossed. If Eddie had to make a guess he'd say he's around Eddie's own age. White, with dark hair. He's wearing glasses.

    Bingo. This is his man.

    Summary

    God, Ed was obsessed with that voice. Wanted to rub it all over himself, to drink it, to drown in it. To take it apart and see what it was made out of. He wondered if Izzy understood that when they sang together they were touching - voice to voice, from lungs to throat to air.

     

    In the run-up to Calypso's party, things are tense on the Revenge. Stede is still learning how to be a captain, and a pirate. The crew don't trust him, and they certainly don't trust Ed Teach. The relationship between Izzy and Edward is strained by what they've been through, for all that Izzy and Stede are growing friendlier the more time they spend training. Ed's doing his best to make amends - to Izzy, to the ship, to everyone - and to sort his head out, but it's not easy. Meanwhile Stede and Ed are taking things slow, finding their way on shaky new ground.

    While trying to work out how to fix all the things he's broken, Stede ends up asking about how Izzy and Ed met. Separately, the two of them tell him a story about pubs and pirates, about marriages and villains, shanties and sea battles, and of the Republic of Pirates itself. And for Stede, it changes everything.

    Summary

    Mary is busy bathing Louis and Izzy wishes he had sails to mind for all that he hates standing idle. He sighs out a single breath and asks, “Do you want to learn how to navigate by the stars?”

    It’s an echo of the same offer he’d make to any boy on a ship that was scared at the prospect of a night on deck. Alma looks up at him, serious and attentive. “You’d teach me?”

    Summary

    It’s humiliating enough for his feelings for Edward to be called love. Love is soft and sentimental, all kittens and perfume, and what Izzy feels for Edward is more akin to the way a ship needs the wind and the waves, no matter how roughly they beat at its sails and hull.
    And don’t all sailors succumb to the sea eventually?
    His grip tightens on the oars. No. Fuck that. If Bonnet is what it takes for Edward to ride out whatever storm Blackbeard has become, Izzy will deliver Bonnet to him.

     

    After Ed, grieving and angry, banishes Izzy from the Revenge, there's only one thing Izzy can think of doing to earn his forgiveness. Unfortunately, it's going to involve spending a lot of time with Stede fuckin' Bonnet.

    Summary

    After coming across a perfect, horrendous gift for his captain, Izzy decides to do something nice for once in his life. Unfortunately, what he fails to account for is that nobody who resides within the captains' cabin of the Revenge has ever been capable of being normal about anything. Things escalate.

    Then things escalate again.

    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.)

    "No," Ed agrees. "I loved you, too. Don't know if you knew that. I loved you, so I tore you apart and fed you bits of yourself. What's eating you, Iz?"

    Izzy understands, finally. "I am."

    But you fed me, he wants to say. You fed that starving thing, my heart. Fed my affliction. My affection. So when you fed me myself, I thanked you.

    "That's right. And aren't you hungry, Izzy? Doesn't it hurt?"

    "Ouroboros," Izzy says.

    "Yeah. Stop chasing your tail, Iz."

    "You don't need me."

    "No. Could live without you. Wouldn't like it, but I could."

    "I thought you were supposed to be convincing me to live." He's suddenly, violently, angry. "Doing a fucking shit job, Eddie. Did you come to rub my nose in it? Is that what this is?"

    "You're missing the point, Izzy. I'm not the point."

    But then, in the midst of his life becoming a nightmare, he starts dreaming the death of the person he blames for it all. But he's given a glimpse of that man's humanity, and faces a problem. Every time he stops the death he dreams, it's followed by a new version.

    Why can't he stop Izzy Hands from dying?
