Summary
EDIT: chapter 2 is out!!
In Montreuil sur Mer, it happens to be that the mayor is a vampire. It’s a fairly well-kept secret amongst city officials so long as the mayor chooses to uphold his virtuous lifestyle and resist the urge to feed on his constituents…or at least not the unwilling.
When the mayor finds himself in desperate need of a volunteer, Javert becomes the willing.

Summary
Izzy Hands does not hate Stede Bonnet.
Well, at least not as much as he had months before. Not as much as he had in the moments that Edward wailed his name into his shaking arms and Izzy took all his strength to peel him off the floor. It’s a bitter taste on his tongue. He’s never been good at holding his tongue. It’s earned Izzy plenty of lashings in his youth, though he suspects this man in his captain's skin is too soft now to raise a cord to him like he would have weeks earlier. He tests it. -

Summary
Sometimes Edward Teach should stop listening to Jack Rackham. Sure, he’s a funny guy, smart enough to get them into all kinds of trouble, but dumb enough to get them caught. At the end of the day Jack is his friend, that is if pirates were allowed friends.

Summary
"All right, then, Edward." Izzy turns to face him, crosses his arms. "When we get back to the ship, you're going to tell everyone that I'm going ashore at the next port. You have to let me go, or I can't go at all. Can you do that?"
"Izzy." His voice sounds strange to his own ears; alien. "Iz, you can't – don't say that."
A sigh. "Yeah, that's what I thought."
"You'd come back. Right? You would. You did before. With Stede. You'd have to come back."
"Edward–"
"Iz, you know I- I need…" but he trails off when he realises Izzy isn't looking at him.
His eyes are unfocused, concentrating on something else. Izzy frowns, looks unsettled; lifts a hand to touch his face. It comes away wet, and that's when Edward sees the slow ooze of blood leaking from his nose.
"Shit," Izzy remarks. And then his eyes roll back in his head, and he collapses.
***
A curse replaces Izzy with a version of himself who's thirty years younger, far less crotchety, and with no memories of Edward at all. Izzy's been sort of a bastard lately, so Ed's grateful for the reprieve. Until he really, really isn't.
