    Summary

    “What do you mean,” Olu says, silencing everyone else as the room erupted in noise the moment Lucius told them what the fuck just went down in the captain’s cabin, “you told him we hug it out as a crew?”

    “Listen,” Lucius says, “I just – he looked miserable, and I thought that he really seemed to need a hug or ten, and then – the poor sod never got hugged before, or in a very long time, or something!”

    “That’s sad,” Roach remarks, everyone else nodding along – except for Jim, who’s just rolling their eyes at the ceiling.

    “Aw, really?” Wee John asks. “That’s – wow. No wonder he’s this moody.”

     

    Or: in which Lucius (who absolutely needs a raise or ten) and the rest of the crew make sure the one captain that's still on the ship gets enough TLC to tide him over until the other captain comes back from wherever he's run off to.

    Summary

    Ed had thought so many times about this meeting. About what he would say to Stede Bonnet. About all the angry things he would tell him. All the pain he would hurl at Stede.

    What he hadn’t expected was the cold look on Stede’s face, or for Stede to draw his sword and hold it out toward Ed.

    He definitely hadn’t expected the sheer fury in Stede Bonnet’s voice as he said, voice strong and unwavering, “Edward Teach. Draw your weapon.”

    .

    Or, Stede and crew retake the Revenge after weeks of chasing it. The boys have some shit to work through. And Ed has a lot of apologizing to do. So does Stede, but he didn't throw anyone overboard or abandon the crew on a deserted islet. So mostly Ed has to apologize.

    Summary

    In which the crew opens up their floating restaurant/pirate ship, Stede opens up a floating pirate school so they can all learn to read and write, and Izzy is forcibly adopted by the crew like a hissing cat surrounded by a group of overeager dogs (and a few unfazed cats). Hijinks, shenanigans, and even some mushy feelings ensue while Izzy slowly loses the little sanity he had left.

    (Part 5 in a series but should be easy to catch on)

    Summary

    For the prompt:

    The Stede + Izzy duel never happens, but tensions are still high between Izzy, Stede, and the crew of the Revenge. Calico Jack still shows up (though not at Izzy's behest, and not to lead Ed away so that the British can take Stede) and he and Ed still have a grand old time unleashing their inner frat boy.

    It all comes to a head when, onboard the Revenge, Jack catches Izzy with his whip instead of Karl. The resulting injury is pretty severe and causes quite the commotion... shortly after Stede arrives on deck, Jack blurts that he doesn't know why everyone's so upset all of a sudden--it's not like this is the first time he's whipped Izzy. Turns out, he used to brutalize Izzy while they were aboard Hornigold's ship. Izzy covers up like he does because his entire back is a cacophony of scars he'd received by Jack's hand.

    Izzy would very much like the ground to open and swallow him whole. Ed is horrified. Stede is already drawing down on Jack... because sometimes, you need a weapon a bit more tangible than kindness.
