    Summary

    WIP. Starts toward the end of s01e10.

    An Izzy-centric fic, exploring his darkly fucked up relationship with Ed and his new and very different relationship with Lucius. Ostensibly, it's a story about pirates fucking. But in truth, I'm writing about Izzy's trauma and his release from it. If that sounds a bit heavy, don't be put off: I promise it's mostly porn.

    There will be a few surprises.

    Izzy *will* get his happy ending.

    Please check tabs and notes for cw/tws for each chapter before you read. Some have graphic violence.

    Very big thanks to beta readers

    AgentMal, you are the alphabeta ;) Also many thanks to Vex, Jillian, Julie, Kizzy, Alyss, DJ, Willow, Jacky, Rebecca, Remy, Abel, Dai, Red... You're all awesome.

    Summary

    For a long time, he thought that it was Bonnet who would be the death of Blackbeard, but it turned out that it was both of them. Neither gave Ed what he needed and, too focused on their own insecurities, they both failed him in the end. Bonnet by abandoning him, and Izzy by trying to force him out of his despair.
    Maybe neither of them could have helped Ed before resolving their own problems. Each of them had their own demons to deal with, and they were all destined to collide at this critical moment in time. Maybe one broken man just cannot help another.

    Summary

    After Ed and Stede’s reunion, Izzy could leave. But part of the reason why he stays is to punish Ed by making him watch as his former lover grows more bitter and miserable every day. He knows it’s spiteful and petty, but then again, Bonnet named his boat the Revenge.

    Summary

    Everything was how it should be, and yet, something was missing. What he was searching for he could not tell you, but he continued to look through the kelp forest and coral reefs. He flicked his tail, and it sent him shooting across the waves to next destination.

    Izzy is changed into a merperson.

    Summary

    Stede looked over and saw an older man speaking to Izzy, but something was terribly wrong. Stede had never seen Izzy be so still, like a startled deer frozen in the hopes you wouldn't see them.

    At a party, Izzy runs into a man from his past. This is not a good thing.

    Summary

    After Edward returns to the Revenge, Izzy tries his best to be patient and take care of him. Unfortunately his best isn't very good.

    "There’s a small snuffle from the direction of the sleeping nook; it too has been closed up, hidden behind thick drapes. Izzy's stomach sinks and he sighs, twisting his gloved hand over his beard. He hadn't thought of it this morning, when adrenaline was running wild through him, but he recognizes this now. This is how it goes. He knows Edward’s mercurial moods like he knows the tides, the currents around the islands, the motions of the stars. After the wildness, the excitement, the obsession, comes the drop."

    Summary

    Next thing he know he was slammed up against the nearest wall. So it was going to be one of those types of days. Izzy prided himself on being able to take what his captain dished out, but he wasn't as young as he used to be, plus this was starting to get bloody tedious. Izzy felt Blackbeard's hand on his throat, and he prepared himself for what came next, but instead of the near fatal squeezing he was expecting, Blackbeard leaned forward and kissed him.

    Ed turns to Izzy after Stede's abandonment, and Izzy tries to cope with doing things he's not good at.

    Summary

    Izzy loves the stars. He always has (ever since Ed sat him down and put an arm around his shoulder and pointed out Polaris, their third night on Hornigold's ship). But it's been a very long time since he got to talk about them. After a Bad night, Stede's crew sets out to change that.

    Summary

    “Put it on,” Edward says firmly, and there is no part of Izzy that considers disobeying the order. His arms slip into the robe, the fine fabric weighty but soft, gliding over his skin smoothly, momentarily distracting him from Edward sinking to his knees in front of him.

    Summary

    Stede squared his jaw and asked, “How do we choose who to kill?”

    “Oh, that’s easy,” Ed said with a relieved smile. “Izzy always does that.”

    “That is not at all surprising,” Lucius muttered under his breath, sketching a small icon of the angry man in the corner of the open page.

    Five times Lucius hears the words "Izzy always does that," and one time Lucius does something for him.
