    Summary

    Frenchie has always known he’s special.

    He has always been able to see a little more than ordinary people can. See not just the shadows, but what lies within them. He’ll be the first to admit that his gifts are not as strong as his Great Aunt’s were, the gifts usually being passed down through the female line. Mind you, he’s been as queer as a nine bob note since his balls dropped so that might explain why they passed to him, watered down though they are.

    Life can be... difficult, when you’re different.

    Summary

    The Revenge sails forth. Ed and Stede try out retirement. Frenchie, Zheng, and Olu try out co-captaincy. All seems well—until it quickly isn’t.

    Meanwhile in the afterlife, Izzy finds some old friends, discovers a new one, and starts down an unexpected path.

    A post season 2 story about unfinished business, second chances, and life beginning again. Part one of three. Izzy-centric but everyone has a story and role to play.

    Summary

    In which Stede Bonnet discovers his inner sadist, Izzy Hands discovers care & love as it fits him, and Ed gets to be as soft as he's ever wanted to be. Just not without a few scars along the way.

    Post season 1 reunion fic with a focus on Stizzy/Gentlehands as a leadup to eventual Steddy Hands. Accuracy around history, piracy, and medicine are on the backburner. It's eventually very hopeful and loving, I think, but it takes a little while to get there. Check the notes at the beginning (and beginnings of each chapter) for more trigger/content warnings.

    Summary

    If you asked Izzy Hands what it's like to manage Edward's drag bar (since the man does happen to also be his ex), he'd tell you to fuck off because he's too busy and too fucking tired to think about it. The truth is, he can't imagine himself doing anything else.

    That is, until some prick named Stede Bonnet opens a queer-friendly cafe across the road - although you'd never know it, from the amount of time he spends hanging around watching their shows.

    That is, until Edward starts... getting better. Being happier. Wanting to try getting on stage again, for the first time since his career-ending injury.

    That is, until Roach, the weird baker from across the road starts stealing his cigarettes at four in the morning when he's clocking off, and he starts to remember what it's like to actually enjoy himself again.

    Summary

    It’s strange and awkward, the three of them navigating the same space like this. Stede can’t help thinking glumly to himself on more than one occasion over the next several days that everything is much easier when sex is involved, even though the sex is, in fact, more than tricky enough on its own. Being near Izzy in public feels like walking a tightrope, dizzying and dangerous and like one faltering step will be Stede’s downfall. He keeps thinking about what Izzy said, and he says to Ed one night almost a week out from Izzy’s whipping:

    “He really loves you, doesn’t he?”

    “Whaaaat,” Ed says, nestled up against Stede’s side before the crackling fire on a thick, fur rug they’ve only recently acquired. “That’s not what the next part says, is it?”
