Summary
What is unusual is the following:
Firstly, he is in the Captain's Cabin (Co-Captain’s cabin? The fucking honeymoon suite? Whatever the fuck they’re calling it these days)
Secondly, the room is - at least by Bonnet’s standards - a mess.
Thirdly, Izzy might be waking up alone, but he did not go to sleep alone. He went to sleep warm and heavy and snuggled.
Israel Hands – first mate of the legendary Blackbeard - doesn’t fucking snuggle. That’s fucking ridiculous.
And yet.
-///-
Or, the morning after Stede sleeps with Izzy for the first time, Izzy reminisces on the night before. He's interrupted by Stede who worries that he hurt him.

Summary
Stede Bonnet is forty-seven years old when he realises he has too many things.
They get everywhere, these little knickknacks he collects. He finds precious rocks lodged between the mattress and the window, poetry books they picked up from raids stacked haphazardly on the desk. His clothes are folded, waiting to be put on proper hangers and hooks. There are forks and spoons and special little cups.
They all have their places, but their places are everywhere.
He has too many things.
Because how is he supposed to untangle them now from Edward and Izzy’s possessions?
-///-
Or, Stede has never been in a loving relationship before. His fight or flight reflex is all 'flight' and he assumes that a big argument has ended everything. Ed and Izzy reassure him.

Summary
The Eridians don't have love words. Love is assumed -- structural, built into everything. But they do have a word for the specific feeling of being relieved someone exists. Not for what they give you. For what they are.
Rocky has been trying to translate it for three years.

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
I shift, untucking my chest and arms so I can sit up in bed. "Earlier, when you asked for a laptop as a gift—I know this is probably just, uh, homophones—but it kind of sounded like you said my name?"
He sets his tools down so that he can stomp his feet and turn in a circle—something I've started to understand is a gesture of mild embarrassment.
«…is stupid.»
OR: Rocky, Grace, and the art of reacting to your best friend telling you that you're the literal answer to his prayers

Summary
"You know that the astrophage eat sunlight, but you don't know what sunlight really is."
"It's… light and heat. What else could possibly be in there?"
"Are you familiar with Rusakov particles?" Stratt asked him.
"Are you telling me…"
"Stars are full of Dust, and the astrophage is eating it. So if we don't fix this, we'll have an even bigger problem than the temperature and crop failure."

Summary
“Word Grace no understand is ♪♪♫?” Grace gave a frustrated huff and looked down at the computer. The translator software picked up everything but the last word perfectly, flashing an <UNKNOWN> on the screen.
“It’s a new word! What’s this one mean?”
Rocky stopped working on the suit, and put his tools down. He shifted his carapace toward Grace fully, and walked toward the xenonite barrier.
“Rocky has not discussed ♪♪♫ before?”
On the journey back to Erid, Grace and Rocky discuss what mundane things they miss about home. Rocky realises he hasn't told Grace about his siblings.
