Lines of Lightning on Your Skull by LivingInATimeOf_Ships
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
11 Oct 2025

Summary
"He's staring again. He can't help it. Lucius knows it's rude, knows that it makes Izzy uncomfortable these days, but he can't help it.
The thin red line that marks a jagged edge on Izzy's forehead is a mystery that's just too good to ignore. From where he sits, turned ever so slightly to the side, it’s very visible to Lucius’s curious eyes. Sure, the missing leg and haunted expression to match the rest of the Leather Crew from Ed's Kraken Era are interesting enough-if disturbing-but Lucius knows about those things.
He thinks.
Admittedly, nobody's really gotten Jim, Archie (who Lucius is a little intimidated by), Fang, Frenchie, or Izzy to talk about their time under Blackbeard's sole employment, but Lucius thinks he can imagine. Ivan is gone, to where nobody will tell him. When he’d asked, Fang had burst into tears."
Listen, I know this sounds super dramatic, but in truth it's pretty damn soft. I wrote it for my brain to take a break from being stressed, so hopefully it'll do that for yours, too.

It's Fine. It's Always Fine. (Even When It's Not) by LivingInATimeOf_Ships

Summary
"That's fine, too. He ignores it when his hands begin to shake and his fingertips grow cold. He nearly falls from the rigging one day after stretching too far, black dots scattering across his vision, and Izzy catches himself just in time. No one sees. He stares down at the deck below, where everyone is resting in the warm sun, and wonders if it would really have been so bad to let himself fall. To break into a thousand tiny shards across the surface of the deck he swabs multiple times a day.
The deck would be so easy a death, he decides, staring down at it longingly. So simple, to just let his fingers slip. They would all think it was an accident. He doubts they'd even wait for his body to cool before dumping him over the side.
His fingers twitch on the ropes. He sighs heavily, tucking his face into them, breathing in the scent of salt air and tar."
Izzy experiences the piratical version of rejection sensitive dysphoria. It will be ok. Heavy on the angst.

Summary
Stede stares at Ed, whose expression is eager. “Why do you want to know all this?”
Ed shrugs and grins. “Stede, c’mon.” He raises his eyebrows. “Of course I wanna know how often you dreamed about penetrating Izzy with your sword.”
When Stede tells Ed and Izzy he's had dreams about killing Izzy, Ed doesn't react like Stede thought it would.
For some reason, Ed thinks the dream means Stede wants to have sex with Izzy.
Stede is less convinced, but agrees to give it some thought. -

Summary
"Ed realized, standing there in a lavender robe, with sunlight on his face, that Izzy hadn’t said his name in weeks. Not Ed, not Edward, not even Blackbeard, spat like a reproach. Just… captain, and not the kind that means anything. The kind that lacked the capital “C”. And somehow, that hollowed something in his chest that the sunlight beam couldn’t break through."
Captain, Sir, Edward, Ed, Eddie. Blackbeard. He was all of them. None of them. And Izzy had once carried every one of those names in his mouth like weapons, or prayers, or both. Had flung them at him to wound, to remind, to beg.
But now he had put them all down, left Ed stranded. Why did it hurt ? It was just names. -

Summary
...spending the remainder of his life as a dog seems as good an idea as any. His bright idea was to get caught by the dog warden and tossed into a shelter. They’d look after him, keep him fed and watered and dry, even if it was probably inevitable they’d put him down in a few weeks. Maybe he’d turn back into a human briefly enough to escape and then repeat the process.
Izzy can shapeshift into a dog. He uses it to avoid his problems, but winds up creating a whole bunch more.

Summary
"Try to move," Ed whispers.
Izzy does—stubborn pride won’t let him not—but it’s nothing. A half-shift, a hiss of breath, the burn of fever making the world swim. He lets it go, chest heaving.
"See?" Ed’s voice is soft now, almost kind, which makes it worse. "You couldn’t stop me even if you wanted to." He leans in, breath hot at Izzy’s ear. "But you don’t want to."Izzy, fevered and half-delirious after losing his leg, is confronted by Ed with a gun and the one thing he’s always wanted.
Written to cross the '"Try to move"' square.Series

Summary
“Don’t try to stand up, you faint every time you do that.”

Time.”OR: Stede and Izzy's first meeting on the island goes a bit differently when the soldiers appear and they have to run away together. Then Stede gets stuck with a concussed Izzy and things get quite confusing before they get better.

Summary
'The door is locked and though with Stede he’d knock, Ed spares Izzy the effort of getting up by letting himself in.
“Just me,” he announces, not too loudly. “Thought you might need a drink—“
“Just you…” Izzy steps out of the bathroom, hands scrubbed clean, face still made up. “No need. Plenty of liquor in here.”
The contrast of glittering eyelids and painted lips against Izzy’s usual outfit – the rose at his lapel a new addition – perfumes the room with a dreamlike strangeness. Lit only by low burning candles, darkness clings to the corners, soft light erasing the years. Shadows drape long and lazy over dog-eared furniture as Izzy drums his way over to lean at the door.
The rum exchanges hands, thrown back in one, the rim of the tin cup left pink.
Ed wets his lips, gulps. “You okay?”'
---
A rewrite of Calypso's birthday.
Or, Ed doesn't think Ned Low is worth the poison of killing him. Stede doesn't get the chance to lose his 'amateur status'. But Izzy stops bottling it up. Though he should give him a minute, Ed still goes the Captain's cabin. And there's still more than a kiss.
