Summary
“We have a unicorn problem,” Lucius announced, plonking himself down next to Pete.
“What’s that, babe?”
“Izzy needs an intervention.”
Lucius is doing fine after being pushed overboard. Absolutely, one hundred percent, totally fine. If he has some concerns when he discovers Izzy spent the time he was meant to be using to heal from his bullet wound hooking up with the man who pushed him over, well, who wouldn't? Izzy clearly can't be trusted to make the correct decisions when it comes to Blackbeard. It's time to gather the crew and stage an intervention for their first mate before somebody gets hurt. Again.

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
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
“What’s it matter?” Izzy says. “School holidays. I assume you’re doing,” he waves his hand. “Child things.”
“Well,” Stede says. “Yes. But it matters because I want to know.”
Of course he does. “Normally,” Izzy says, “I volunteer. Pretty big uptick of goodwill around Christmas. Everyone suddenly remembers the poor exist.”
“For the whole week?”
Izzy squints over at him, suspicious. “For as long as they need me,” he retorts. Of course, the uptick of goodwill also includes an uptick of volunteers. In recent years his presence hasn’t been as necessary.
“Right,” Stede nods, and levers himself into a sitting position. “So, the thing is–“
“Oh, here it comes.” Izzy glares at him. “Ulterior Motives Bonnet.”
Stede has a plan for Christmas. Izzy and Ed go along with it.

Summary
Ed and Izzy used to be a team once, taking Victorian London by storm, but Ed’s abilities as a medium aren’t what they used to be. He’s haunted by the tragedy that befell them, and his abilities have suffered for it. When Stede Bonnet, a researcher from the Psychical Society, comes to him with a proposition to study his energy, he wonders if this is a way to fix things.
Ed agrees to be studied, and travels to an isolated island estate for the research. He trusts Stede. He just wishes that Stede was the one in charge, and not Ned Low.
And Ed is keeping a secret. A secret about why he's so much weaker than he used to be.

Summary
Stabbed by the Kraken to protect Stede at his return to the Revenge, Izzy is brought to the Bonnet Estate to recover under Mary’s supervision. He bides his time, waiting for Edward to return – but when he learns of Blackbeard’s death at Ocracoke, he has to choose what to make out of the wreckage that his life has turned into.
Luckily, Mary is very good at keeping Izzy busy – there is always some work to do on an estate this size, after all – and with the Bonnets and their circle of friends (and more), Izzy might just get a new chance at finding a place to call home… and a family.

The Wooing of Israel Hands by fantasticallyobscure, jeminisms

Summary
"Fine, maybe after their first few meetings Stede might have described Izzy Hands as full of nothing but piss and vinegar, but he had come to realise more and more that he had been wrong. The man was infuriating, true. Angry, disillusioned. Practical to a fault. But also more loyal than any knight from a story book. Observant, dedicated, with a kindness that asked none in return. Oddly (irritatingly) funny, and breathtaking with a sword. Even down a leg, the man had managed to awe Stede with his skill and flair. It seemed to Stede an utter injustice in the world that such a man should sit resigned to not being worth the effort of romancing."
***
In the aftermath of Calypso's celebration, things still aren't quite right aboard The Revenge, and Stede is determined to fix it, with his new First Mate at his side. However, when he overhears Izzy talking about his experience (or lack thereof) of romance, Stede finds himself determined not only to make things better for the crew but to show Izzy how much he is appreciated. He sets off on a mission to woo Israel Hands and finds himself feeling things he hadn't anticipated.

Summary
kinkmeme prompt: Izzy, truth serum:
Izzy dosed with truth serum or equivalent and forced to talk about his feelings. Talk it through as a crew. He is angry and hates it. Feelings can be of whatever verity filler likes, and any ships. or friendships, rivalry, whatever are welcome.
-Izzy bristles. (I feel like I’ve been fucking stabbed, you idiot!) “Feel bad,” Izzy frowns, his tongue seeming to betray him.
Roach rolls his eyes. “No shit genius. Bad how? I need to identify what poison they used."
(Fuck off, I’m fine.) “Everyone’s fussing over me, pretending to care. I don’t like it.” Izzy tries to sit up as the words leave his lips, confused and alarmed.
...
Roach nods, as if that confirmed some theory. “Truth serum.”
(Well Fuck.) “Well Fuck.”

Summary
God, Ed was obsessed with that voice. Wanted to rub it all over himself, to drink it, to drown in it. To take it apart and see what it was made out of. He wondered if Izzy understood that when they sang together they were touching - voice to voice, from lungs to throat to air.
In the run-up to Calypso's party, things are tense on the Revenge. Stede is still learning how to be a captain, and a pirate. The crew don't trust him, and they certainly don't trust Ed Teach. The relationship between Izzy and Edward is strained by what they've been through, for all that Izzy and Stede are growing friendlier the more time they spend training. Ed's doing his best to make amends - to Izzy, to the ship, to everyone - and to sort his head out, but it's not easy. Meanwhile Stede and Ed are taking things slow, finding their way on shaky new ground.
While trying to work out how to fix all the things he's broken, Stede ends up asking about how Izzy and Ed met. Separately, the two of them tell him a story about pubs and pirates, about marriages and villains, shanties and sea battles, and of the Republic of Pirates itself. And for Stede, it changes everything.
