Summary
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

Summary
Michael Zhang makes his palms itchy, the back of his neck clammy and cold. The world’s going to be hard on you, he thinks, and watches the kid watch the floor, his mouth flooding with the bitter metallic taste of blood before he realizes he’s bitten down. Learn to take a hit already. He feels a kind of repulsion that he doesn’t want to be feeling, a part of him that instinctually wants to flinch away, like you would from something old, or sick.
This is what it's like, seeing your reflection.

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.
