    Summary

    “Sometimes though, cuckoo chicks will push out other eggs and even newborn chicks out of the nest, so the parent will have to focus entirely on them instead.”

    Wyll frowned. There was something unpleasant going on in his chest. “Why?”

    Ianfir shrugged. “We don’t know. It’s not taught behavior. Cuckoos aren’t raised by their parents after all. It’s likely something innate. Something so primal, that even as a newborn chick, a cuckoo can’t help but knock the other eggs out.”

    Summary

    Izzy and Fang do several laps of the ship, with Fang giving Izzy little bits of things off a plate while he’s distracted. Izzy barks at him for it but forgets himself and has a good bite of the egg Fang casually slips into his hand while he is mumbling at the dinghies’ pulleys.

    He freezes once he’s realizes what he’s done.

    Stede leaps out from the pile of rope he and Lucius were hiding in with a cry of triumph.

    “NO,” Izzy says.

    “YES,” Stede says, “You’ve been spoiled, Mr. Hands. Put your hands where I can see them.”

    (Izzy works himself to the bone through every one of his heats. Stede can't tolerate even the thought, and so sets out to set things to rights by teaching Izzy how to be a good little omega.)

    Summary

    "I was a pirate, once," he says. Al perks up. She fucking knew it.

    "Oh? What was it like?" she asks, trying to keep her tone casual. She sits down next to him, legs crossed.

    "It killed me," the man tells her.

    Al Bonnet visits the empty inn haunting what used to be The Republic of Pirates, and meets a strange man with a wooden leg.

    Summary

    '“I just wanted to thank you for–” is all Izzy gets out before Bonnet turns and spears him with a look so odious it burns.

    And still, it’s less than he deserves, less than he got from Ed so close to the end.

    The crew, none the wiser, ham it up or go about their tasks with all the enthusiasm of a second chance at life. Unable to do either, Izzy upends his mop crutch and does his best to clear the deck of splintered wood and crusted salt and gunpowder.

    “Hey, no, no, no.” Fang nags his efforts, dumping armfuls of rotten wood onto Izzy’s tiny pile of dust. “We’ve got this sorted, boss. You get some rest.”

    Izzy doesn’t argue. Just limps without thinking and winds up in the same place as always, standing outside of that low door. No longer concealed, it hangs ajar and lit from within, Bonnet’s lantern flickering as he weeps.'

    ---

    Or, I heard Archie say: "Can we talk about the fucked up sleeping arrangements?" and immediately wanted to explore how the two crews split rooms on the Revenge.

    Summary

    After coming across a perfect, horrendous gift for his captain, Izzy decides to do something nice for once in his life. Unfortunately, what he fails to account for is that nobody who resides within the captains' cabin of the Revenge has ever been capable of being normal about anything. Things escalate.

    Then things escalate again.
