Summary
“Hide it, Israel,” His mother whispered to him one day, her own ears drooping under a filthy scarf, as her gentle fingers traced his face. “The world ain’t kind to us, it won’t be kind to you either, Israel. You do whatever it takes so they don’t take you instead.”
-
Israel Hands was a Felis. In a world were his kind are slaughtered, collared and forced into a life of servitude, Israel locked this part of himself away forever to escape this life and make a name of himself on the sea. Nobody would ever know, not since Hornigold had taught him the consequences of trusting someone.This was until Stede Fucking Bonnet and his band of merry idiots ruined his life, again.

Summary
"Ed turned the bottle in his hands. It had a smear on the glass, and he could see his thumbprint inside it. How had it gotten inside? He shook his head, not unlike a dog, and drank. It came with the old warmth, the cheap blanket warmth, and the way it climbed into his veins felt so achingly familiar that he couldn't help but shiver with it."
Or how Ed and Izzy manage to get through the darker times, when Edward is the worst version of himself, and when Izzy has to claw him out of his self inflicted misery.
Title from Sober To Death by Car Seat Headrest, a truly edizzy song

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. -

Lines of Lightning on Your Skull by LivingInATimeOf_Ships

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.

As The Wolf Waits Below, So Hungry and Lonely, He Cries to The Moon; "If Only, If Only" by LivingInATimeOf_Ships

Summary
Werewolf Izzy Hands.
The wolf staggers back, and it looks around the clearing. Ten men lay dead or dying, some with gruesome wounds, guts piled outside their bodies, steaming in the cooling air.
For some reason, it looks to Ed, whose face is pale. He's shoved Stede half behind him and has withdrawn a dagger of polished silver. His expression is grim and resolute.
The wolf tucks its tail between its legs, whines, almost like it's frightened. It continues to stand guard over Lucius, protecting him from an attack that will never come. Its sides heave.
“Hey puppy,” Lucius says stupidly, uneasily trying to scoot himself back, “easy there.”
The wolf snaps his head around and stares at Lucius. His eyes are wide and wild, but there's a glimmer of something familiar there. Lucius can't figure out why. There's a tiny speck of black high on the wolf's face, under his eye. It almost looks like an x. Next to the spot is blood, and Lucius isn't sure whether it's from someone else, or from the deep scratches across the wolf's muzzle. Some of them are jagged and have torn bits of flesh around the edges.
The wolf flinches when Lucius moves."

Summary
"Figures I'd have to do this for you, even now." Izzy says, hand going to the dagger on his hip, even as he drops his sword. Throws it down, which sends shivers down Lucius's spine. Izzy takes pride in his weapons.
Lucius remembers Roach joking that they're the only things Izzy Hands cares about, save for Ed. It's not as funny now.
"What're you doing, Iz?" Edward is eyeing the dagger warily, hands held out in front of him.
"I'm tired, Edward. So fucking tired." Izzy chokes out behind tears, shoulders shaking. "I can't be what you need, now. Loyalty's only useful if someone wants it, after all. I'm an old attack dog that's outgrown its use and is just terrorising the pups."
"You want a fucking lap dog," he gestures to Bonnet, though he doesn't seem angry, "and I can't be that for you."
Ed has been using Izzy as a punching bag, and Izzy has been all too happy to help him. They never talk, though, so both men assume they're in the right.
I think Ed gets the benefit of the doubt whereas Izzy is set on fire for the most minor of grievances. Both of them gotta figure their shit out. In the meantime, Izzy will get love from new people, who see his worth. Won't let him self-destruct.- Language:
