    Summary

    "You sounded a bit like a professor I had back in college," he says, and Izzy swears he sees a vague hint of blush on Lucius' exposed face. Then again, it is early December, and they are outside. "She had this old tin thermos full of soup with her at literally all times, like a—"

    "Security blanket," Izzy finishes for him. How often had Ed accused him of just that. He tries not to think about the last time he saw it, saw Ed, saw the anger… "Like a bit of home wherever you go," he says instead.

    "Don't tell me you know Dr. Teach!" Izzy does his best not to wince. "I think her first name was Val?" Lucius asks in earnest, finally pulling off his mask.

    "Fucking hell," Izzy says. "It's you."

    ***

    Izzy Hands is still healing from the wounds of his old life, dealing with poor self-esteem and vicious bouts of anxiety. At the suggestion of his therapist, he volunteers to be a life drawing model for a local artist's class. Dr. Boodhari failed to mention what to do if Izzy developed feelings for the artist, however, let alone how to handle a love eagerly reciprocated by a former student.

    Summary

    He gives it a few days, watching the golden hairs grow on Stede’s face, and watching Stede frown and scratch his chin more often. But Stede doesn’t act any different. There’s no secret plans Ed can detect.

    Ed confronts Stede over it one afternoon in Stede’s quarters. He’s given the matter a lot of thought, and he’s considered how best to bring it up. Stede is a gentleman, so Ed will broach the subject delicately.

    “What the fuck are you doing with your face?”

    Summary

    In total, Julia Trojan is introduced to Johnny Simpson five times.

    After the fifth time, he slides the nearest paper napkin across the table, and pulls a pen out of his back pocket. Julia watches as he painstakingly inscribes something. When he straightens up again, he appears satisfied with himself. A curious look from Julia prompts him to pass the napkin to her.

    Julia, it reads. Joined our band. Singer. Brown hair, blue eyes. Nice.
