    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.

    Summary

    ‘Just so I understand,’ Izzy says, voice steely in a way that would have most men quaking with fear, but only earns him an indulgent smile from Stede, ‘you’re going to enforce mandatory bonding time for me with the rest of the crew so that I can… learn to get along with them?’


    Or, Stede organises a sleepover to try and get to know Izzy better. Somewhere in between wearing Stede's clothes and getting his nails painted, Izzy loses his mind.

    Summary

    Stede ignores Ivan’s comment and reads out the list. ‘Now, I’ve called them habits rather than rules because being kind is a habit. It’s a muscle that you have to train, and it may be strange or uncomfortable at first, but the more you do it, the easier it will become. Does anyone have any immediate questions, before we begin?’

    Buttons raises his hand. ‘Ye said there’s seven habits, Cap’n. That’s only five.’

     If Izzy had a dollar for every time someone pointed that out, he’d have enough money to buy his own ship and finally get the fuck away from Stede Bonnet and his merry band of lunatics.


    Or, Izzy has a meltdown, Stede gets a reality check, and Ed learns to stop being such an absent father captain.
