Summary
“I need to…” He faltered, and Ed shifted towards the edge of the sofa, like he was ready to gather Izzy in his arms any second. He was. He always was. “Brains fucked. Nightmares are back… random fucking anxiety attacks. I don’t know, it’s… it’s coming up to a year and it’s like…” Ed was on his feet then, moving carefully towards Izzy, but still giving him space to finish. “I’m being stupid, I’m hiding it from you. And I don’t want to. I shouldn’t and I don’t want to.” It was the steadiest sentence he’d said, defiant, solid.
Healing wasn’t linear. Sometimes it was two steps forward and ten steps back. But the fact he was stood there now, ready to admit he was hiding, and that he didn’t want that anymore was… huge.
It's been almost a year since Izzy arrived on Ed and Stede's doorstep, beaten, bruised, and almost broken. He's started to settle into this new chapter, but it doesn't mean it all just goes away - he still trips sometimes. But with Ed, Stede and Ivan at his side, his found family surrounding him, and a new baby in his life, there's enough people to always pick him back up again.

Summary
Ed has receded into the persona of The Kraken, using it like a drug to dissociate from his anguish. During a raid on a merchant ship, The Kraken prowls the cabins, uninterested in what he finds, until a broken wail rises from the pram in the darkness. The cry seems to echo what Ed has heard from his own abandoned heart.

Summary
“When I was a child,” Stede says slowly, faraway and nostalgic. “My mother - she never really spent much time in the kitchen, of course; we had dedicated household staff that handled all the cooking, but there was one thing she used to make herself. She’d melt brown sugar until it bubbled, and it was just on this side of burnt, but not quite? And she’d pour it out and let it harden in these big sheets of transparent, amber-coloured toffee. I used to break off shards and suck it into razor-sharp points; would run around pretending I had a knife, or a prison shank. They made excellent props when playing at being a pirate.”
Stede is sort of lost in the tangent. He’s good at telling stories, even real-life ones, and Ed finds himself getting a bit lost in it, too.
“Your eyes are like that,” says Stede.
“When the sunlight gets them. Like the taste of it. Smoky and sweet,” says Stede.
“Like melty, burnt toffee. They’re so lovely, Ed,” says Stede.
These are the things that Ed collects.

Summary
When Stede first got invited to a party for 'work', not once had he thought he'd be meeting his crush - the legendary voice actor Edward Teach - there, let alone falling directly into the man's arms. Even less so meeting up with him in the toilets and going home with him after...

Summary
Twenty years ago Edward Teach was captured and faced the noose before being offered an the King's Act of Grace. In exchange for ten years of service to the crown he'd be given freedom, all he had to do was join the Aerial Corps and allow his body to be twisted into a machine of war complete with taloned feet and wings. Feared and disdained, he's lived his life in endless battles with no end in sight. What does a monster do? What life is left for him?
When he injures his wing in battle he finds himself at the doorstep of a man who he's been told can help repair damaged feathers. What he finds is a lunatic living in an airship and promises of something Ed had thought had been lost to him for twenty years.
Hope. And a future.
Things do not go as planned.

Summary
So much for having it all together. He didn’t dare let Ed see him like this. The way everything slips by the wayside when he is too busy or focused elsewhere, that he can’t even do the goddamn dishes.

Sometimes, an act of true love is someone else doing the washing up.

Summary
Five years after her father is killed first by a jungle cat, then by a carriage, and then by a falling piano, Alma Bonnet decides that his absence in her life is, quite frankly, complete horse shit. Obviously the only way to find him is to run away and become a pirate. Because that makes complete and total sense.
Somehow, it doesn't end with her dead.

Summary
"Izzy."
He hears it like it's coming through the depths of the ocean. Blurred around the edges. Familiar but soft. His spine's too stiff to turn. His neck aches…everything aches.
"Izzy," they call again, closer. Gentler. "Come to bed, darling."
Bonnet.
He has the urge to say something. Snarl, maybe. Snap back with you're not my captain, Bonnet. But the words feel like gravel in his throat. Dry and grating.
There's another set of footsteps behind him. They are heavier, hard soled boots. Larger. Something he would know in his sleep.
A hand lands on his shoulder—solid, but not heavy.
"Go on, mate," Edward murmurs. "Do as you're told. He is your captain after all."
-
Or: Izzy's sick, stubborn, and his captains won't let him do it alone.

Summary
“Do you think it’ll happen?” he said softly, to no one in particular. In the two nights they’d been there, there had been hints of the auroras, but not a full display. The staff at the hotel had been saying at breakfast that tonight was going to be perfect conditions, that they’d just been warming up before. Izzy only dared to hope.
Arms were wrapping slowly around him from behind, a soft kiss placed on the back of his head, then his ear, then his neck. “I think they’ll dance for us, Izzy,” Stede whispered in his ear.
Last year, Ed and Stede bought Izzy the once in a life time trip to Iceland, to spend this Christmas there, and to try and fulfil his lifelong dream of seeing the auroras. Join them on their adventure, filled with snow and huskies, and the most magical Christmas Eve.

Summary
Ed and Izzy are best friends, sure, but Ed's actually the older one-- just by a little bit. He's the one who taught Izzy how to navigate social situations and how to make friends (even though Izzy taught Ed how to be a pirate). Most crews assume that Ed is a bit like Izzy's older brother, or maybe an old love.
Neither of them quite knew that he was more like Izzy's father, but they certainly acted like it.
(Or: in which Ed is Izzy's dad and nobody knows it. Not even them. Kinda)
featuring: Parental!Ed, Little!Izzy, and fluff ;33
Edit: As of right now, this work has at least 6 chapters in the making. My writing schedule sucks but this is continuing!
