Summary
Maybe it's later still, drunk on relief and victory and overproof rum, the stink of it on his breath when he leans in and murmurs, you're mine now, you know, and your own breath catches and a rush of something sweeter than any liquor courses through your blood, and all you can do is nod. Edward grins at you like the worst fucking bad idea you've ever had and says, let's do something about that.

Summary
It's not that Edward is doing anything particularly novel. He looks like they always do, with the roll of his shoulder just so and the flick of his wrist as the switch comes down; the reddening crisscross welts flaring to life on Wilson's tanned skin, punctuated with a scattering of moles. And that's what Izzy should be watching - the precarious position of the crew relies on him bearing witness not just to the Captain's actions but also their effects. As far as he can, he does track Wilson's reactions, how he flinches and mutters between strikes.
Mostly, though, he's looking at Edward.

Summary
The word's gotten out. Unfortunately, the Revenge is slow, so the faster merchant ships are beginning to run at the first sight of them, and picking satisfying targets is getting harder and harder. Izzy can't help worrying that if their momentum slows, Edward will regress - his instincts are telling him he has to keep the man occupied, avoid idle time at any cost.
As far as Izzy's concerned, that makes it the perfect time to push for something he's never really been able to get Edward to consider seriously before; a raid on a proper treasure fleet. As Blackbeard he was always cautious about avoiding them - taking on a significant target of course invites a significant response - but it feels like the capstone of re-establishing Blackbeard's reputation, and it will also hopefully win them enough money to get another ship. Izzy cannot wait to get off the fucking Revenge.
--
Bonnet's gone, Blackbeard's back - mostly - and there's a Spanish treasure fleet begging to be robbed. Life looks good for Israel Hands. Until they make port to spend some winnings and everything goes directly to hell.

Summary
He hears booted feet on the deck behind him. Ed folds into place next to Izzy, hiding the grunt of exertion, proferring a tin cup.
"Fuck's this?" He regrets opening his mouth as soon as it's out; something about movement, any sort of movement, makes the nausea worse. He grits his teeth, tips his head back, but the cup finds its way to his hands and he curls his fingers around it. It's warm.
"Ginger tea," Ed says. "Apparently. Good for," he gestures. "This."
"Oh," Izzy says; can't keep the edge from his voice. "Wonderful. When'd you become a fucking apothecary?"
"Roach sent it."
"You the cook's boy, now?"
Izzy has been helping Bonnet with the project of 'new Edward' for a number of weeks now. It's working better than he'd like.

Summary
Bonnet reappears out of his stupid little clothes room. "Strip," he says, distracted by the frippery over his arm. Izzy hesitates, and gets an irritated noise. "You can't possibly be feeling modest."
Izzy's gaze is drawn, inexorably, to Edward; who smiles, slow and small. "I've seen it all, too, Iz."
