From "A Wishbone Compass" (Our Flag Means Death, Fang/Izzy, a canon divergence AU where Fang and Izzy wash up on a desert island together a year before s1):

Fang was having a nice dream. It was today, sort of, but it was also years and years ago, back when they were still sailing on the Fortune. The ship had made land at one of the Berry Islands for refitting and shore leave, and the weather and the mood was fine. That was the first and only time he and Izzy got up to something outside—really outside, not just out back of a tavern or under a pier, but down in the cool grass under the stars.

It was a nervy, hot-blooded sort of thing, dressed up in the excuse of squaring away a dice game. Awake, Fang could probably pin it to a year by that alone: back before getting off with Izzy became a habit, and well before the habit petered out.
