Summary
Desperate to pull Ed back from the abyssal brink of the Kraken, Izzy makes a deeply guarded confession. Their long history together can’t open a path back in time to repair the damage, but it can help them chart a better course forward. That is, until Stede Bonnet returns from the grave with the marooned crew of the Revenge to interrupt and complicate their reconciliation.
.
“You should talk to him,” Izzy says in a low voice, resting a hand on Ed’s arm. “Privately.”
“What?” Ed scowls and flicks his eyes over to Stede, who is pretending not to be able to hear them from where he is admiring Mary’s painting.Izzy sighs. “It’s unresolved, Edward. Trust me, this isn’t the kind of thing to let fester.” He squeezes Ed’s arm gently. “Talk to him. Get the answers you need.”
Ed’s shoulders relax minutely, the hard set of his jaw loosening. Izzy crosses the cabin to Stede. He snaps his fingers and holds out his palm to Bonnet. “Knife.” He shoots a glance to Edward. “You, too.” Stede pulls his ornate dagger in its sheath from his belt and hands it over without a fuss. Ed does the same a bit more begrudgingly. “Don’t fucking kill each other.”Series

Summary
In which:
Izzy struggles to come to terms with his new limitations after having his tongue amputated. He tries to resign, but the crew and captains are having none of it.
Ed and Stede try to explain to Izzy, with help from Lucius, that they don’t want him getting hurt to protect them again. Izzy does not understand.
Feelings and relationships are finally discussed. The hands will be steadied so help me
-
The words echo eerily inside Ed’s skull. “Resign”. He feels disconnected from his body, and everything blurs.Ed staggers forward, as if dragged by invisible strings.
Ed clutches Izzy to his chest, hauling him up into his arms. Izzy squaks in indignant surprise.
He finds himself kneeling on the deck, rocking himself and Izzy back and forth. His face is pressed into Izzy's hair, tears soaking into it. “You can’t leave me, mate, you can’t” He hears himself sob.
Izzy’s always been there, by Ed’s side. That’s where he belongs. Izzy’s important to Ed. Izzy’s… Oh.
Oh.
How had Ed not seen how he felt before?

Summary
Lucius knows that Ed is cheating on Stede with Izzy. Unfortunately he's known for a while now. But he couldn't possibly tell Stede. It would break his sad, naïve, middle-aged heart. But he has to tell him right? It's the good, noble thing to do. And Lucius is a good person. At least that’s what he tells himself.
His train of thought stops as Stede walks past with a big smile on his face. He waves at him to cover his involuntary grimace.He'll tell him tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow. He'll definitely tell him tomorrow.
Or: Stede’s in a loving committed relationship with both Edward and Izzy. But someone should have probably told the crew because they’ve got the wrong idea.
NOW COMPLETE!!

Summary
Izzy is fifteen years old and he’s used to the sound of children crying. He could never quite escape it in the workhouse, even after they threatened kids with a switch to the back if they were caught at it often enough.
But the boy he finds tucked into the base of an oak tree isn’t an orphan or a child from the streets. He’s a little boy in men’s clothing, tailored silk and linen, pale with ruddy cheeks and red marks around his wrists.
“Are you hurt?” He asks.
