Summary
It was safe to keep Izzy at arms-length, enjoying a harmless little look and maybe a curious surface-level flirtation, a lingering touch when handing a coffee over or a pat on the arm, that kind of thing. He’d learnt before the dark mysterious types were not always worth the heartache.
Even if they did make themselves a new regular. And always offer Roach a small smile when they seem incredibly grumpy at the rest of the world. Even if every brief glance they shared sent a little ripple of warmth through Roach’s chest.

Summary
Roach doesn’t fall asleep easily after sex. His mind whirs. It flashes between thoughts like light glints off his cooking knives. It bubbles like sourdough starter testing the boundaries of its container.
Kevin knows this. Because Roach told him. He let him in. Because they were shipmates first, then friends, then best friends.
And now, well.

Summary
Now he's seen it, it's hard not to see it.
The hunch of the shoulders. The way that he's not looking directly into the sun. The way that he pauses, looks away. The way that now Roach thinks about it, he's looked like that since he came back with Stede.
When Blackbeard thinks no-one is looking, he puts his hand to his head, presses his fingers into his temple.
And it makes sense, after what's happened. After what his crew did to him. Blows to the head linger. Sometimes they go bad long after the injury.
Roach observes Blackbeard after the fact, and perhaps the healing begins
