    Summary

    “Do you remember me?” There’s a gloating quality to this man’s voice, and Steven decidedly hates it. “Two years ago. Amsterdam. You ruined my entire operation in one night, but you made one mistake, Spector, you know that? You know what it was?”

    “This is a rhetorical question, isn’t it?”

    “It was fucking me—”

    “Absolutely not,” Steven interrupts. “Marc’s standards are higher than that.”

    His head gets snapped back for that, a swift punch to his jaw sending hot jolts of pain down his face. He is definitely going to bruise. It’s still kind of worth it.

    ———

    Or: One time Marc saves Steven, one time Jake saves Marc, and one time Steven saves Jake. (And so forth.)

    Summary

    Why does everyone think Marc has slept with Frenchie?

    Marc sighed and said, still visibly bewildered, “Layla says we can't sleep together.” His expression begged Jean-Paul to make sense of the situation.

    Summary

    Steven and Jake finally made their big reappearance in Marc's life. Next question is, how should they fit into Tigra's?

    Or: three conversations where Greer had to ask who she was talking to. (And the headmates were happy to answer.)

    Summary

    Izzy has always been able to manage his condition just fine. Smoker’s cough is a common ailment to men of their profession and Izzy indulges in the occasional offered pipe enough to keep up the ruse. The fact that Edward smokes like a chimney is almost enough to keep the facade by itself.
    If the crew notices Izzy coughing a little harder in the winter, they chalk it up to cold weather and think nothing else of it.
    When he growls and spits over the side of the ship, they hurry to their tasks a little quicker, wondering whose negligence caught the first mate’s ire.
    When he’s violently sick in a bad storm, they whisper the moniker Izzy the Spewer amongst themselves and silently thank their patron stars for strong, solid stomachs.
    Izzy doesn’t pay it any more heed than he has to. He’s still the most feared sword in the Caribbean, as infamous a pirate as Blackbeard himself. His reputation precedes and protects him.
    A reputation he won't keep for long if the true nature of his affliction became widely known.

    ~~~

    When Izzy loses to Stede in the duel, it's not just his sword that breaks.
