Summary
"C'mon," Jack says. "You're telling me Blackie threw you over?"
Izzy says, "No," then grabs the rum, wipes the lip of the bottle with his sleeve, and has a drink. "I left."
Jack stares at him for a moment—his mouth open, his greasy hair hanging in his face. Then: "Well, God damn. I always figured you two'd sail the distance."

Summary
He grins, giggles softly without opening his mouth, drums his fingers on the flat slate of his chest. “I know right? Fuck you. You remember my guy.”
“Your guy?”
And then she does remember Roman’s guy.

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.

Summary
“Are you fucking with me right now?” He asks, belatedly.
Kirishima’s face crumples. “No! No, what—I’m—I’m trying to be serious, here, Bakugou, because this actually—you actually matter to me, okay? You’re really, really important to me. And you just—you don’t even—” His voice breaks. Because he’s crying.
Katsuki made him cry.
“I like you,” Kirishima says, in a small, heartbreaking voice.

In which Bakugou messes up, and then he fixes it.
