Summary
"So, yeah, now we're trying to look after him. Please give him a little patience, he's earned it, I think."
After the kraken is seemingly killed, the ship drifts aimlessly for a week before the Gentleman Pirate makes his triumphant return. Nobody can believe what has been happening aboard The Revenge in their absence; but more unbelievable is the way that their old friends have rallied around the insufferable Izzy Hands.
While the crew are at odds over whether their tyrannical first mate is deserving of sympathy or blame, Izzy retreats to his cabin and stays there. In pain, desperately unhappy and broken down by Blackbeard, Izzy just can't bring himself to try to return to pirate life.
After all, Izzy knows what becomes of old dogs who have lost their bite.
A deep dive & reimagining of post-kraken life aboard The Revenge.

Summary
When one left their wife and declared that they were gay, certain expectations tended to follow. Expectations that said person would get a boyfriend rather than show up to every party alone, for example.
So Stede had fibbed a little. For the last two months, he’d had an extremely handsome and kind boyfriend who was also extremely busy. The lie worked well, until he ran into Mary in the grocery store and accidentally said he was shopping with his boyfriend. Stede grabbed the first guy he saw by his leather-clad arm.
“I’ll buy your groceries for a month if you pretend to be my boyfriend,” Stede whispered in the guy's ear. He hauled the guy around to face Mary and Doug.
“What the fu—“ Grocery Store Guy started to say, but Stede stomped on his foot to shut him up.
(In which Stede needs a fake boyfriend, and Izzy gets dragged into the chaos)

Summary
“Don’t try to stand up, you faint every time you do that.”
“I don’t faint!”
“Yes, you’ve already said that,” Stede replied, flatly. “Several times in fact. And I still have had to catch you in my arms before you hit the ground. Every. Single. Time.”OR: Stede and Izzy's first meeting on the island goes a bit differently when the soldiers appear and they have to run away together. Then Stede gets stuck with a concussed Izzy and things get quite confusing before they get better.
