Summary
Castiel's spent most of his adult life keeping his head down and staying out of trouble. This is a deliberate choice on his part, because as a cousin of the King, he'd rather stay unimportant and forgotten. This changes abruptly when King Michael decides that he has a better use for Castiel: he is to be wed to a noble member of the neighboring Republic, as part of an agreement between their two nations.
Castiel knows he has to obey, but that doesn't mean he won't rebel in what small ways he can. Unexpectedly, his actions end up having far-reaching consequences.

But at The Bou-Peek, anything is possible.

Summary
Jackie zeroes in on Lucius the moment she rounds the corner again. “You. You were with that man who broke my nose jar.”
Fuck. Lucius thought she’d forgotten him. “Ugh, yeah, but I don’t-“
“I didn’t ask you to speak.” She levels a finger at him. “That’s Captain Roberts’ quartermaster over there.” Was. Jackie motions towards the man now lying face down in a pool of blood, flies already gathering on his outstretched arms. “You think I want to have to answer for that? Izzy Hands never acted up like this before. The way I see it, this is your man’s fault. I don’t know how, but it is, and if I can’t find him, I’m gonna find you. So you better find a way to fix it. Understand?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Lucius and Izzy have separately washed up and gotten stuck in Nassau, Lucius aimless and having fallen in with another group of theatre kids, Izzy losing his goddamn mind. What's the harm in a little distraction?

Summary
Ed, Izzy, Fang, and Ivan make up the London-based rock band Kraken, which rocketed to fame in the 1990s. When ballad singer Stede Bonnet reaches out about a collaboration, Izzy has to work with Bonnet's songwriter, an overeager composer named Lucius, to write something that aging rockstar Ed and new-on-the-scene Stede can perform together.
What's worse is that Lucius is utterly obsessed with a mysterious songwriter called Basilica, a faceless, genderless musician—and he has no idea that Izzy and Basilica are the same person.

Summary
The last person Lucius expected to save him from uncertain death was Blackbeard's obnoxious, repressed, inexplicably hot little gremlin of a first mate. Now, trapped inside the cabin of a man who hates him, with a crazy captain running around, half a crew trying desperately to keep the ship afloat, and not even a change of pants...
Yeah, getting out of this situation is going to take every bit of ingenuity he has left.

Summary
Once upon a time, Izzy Hands had a steamy weekend with a pirate called Francis Spriggs. A few years later, he boards the Revenge and meets Spriggs' younger brother, Lucius.
-0-
“I love my brother,” Spriggs says, “but he's a dick and I don't want people being scared of me. So if you keep your mouth shut about it, I’ll keep my mouth shut about you, because I could do a rather detailed sketch of your dick just from his description.”
Izzy bites on the inside of his mouth. Again, he has the urge to carve Francis’ tongue out—it would stop him from gossiping so fucking much.

Jacob Wrestles With Comedy Tropes by DictionaryWrites
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
23 Apr 2022

Summary
Israel: From the Hebrew name יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el) meaning "God contends", from the roots שָׂרָה (sarah) meaning "to contend, to fight" and אֵל ('el) meaning "God". In the Old Testament, Israel (who was formerly named Jacob; see Genesis 32:28) wrestles with an angel.
I see your "Izzy Hands is the only human in an all-Muppet TV show" and your "Izzy Hands is trapped in the wrong genre" and I raise you: Izzy Hands is the unwitting victim of a cosmic shift of the very rules of reality, now applying sitcom rules to his life instead of the real life ones that had governed him beforehand. This is, for him, horrifying in the manner of anything Eldritch and incomprehensible.For the rest of the crew, it just seems like First Mate Hands is having a bit of a breakdown, and they really wish he'd stop.
For Izzy, this is existential horror at its worst - for the reader, dark comedy. I just love to make him suffer.

What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor? by Internerdionality

Summary
A fluffy, feel-good Izzy-centric fic, in which the crew takes the matter of their problematic, pent-up first mate into their own hands. The weapon of choice is seduction. The goal, to watch Izzy squirm.
(There will be significant GentleBeard in the background, because I can't leave any of our precious pirates out in the cold!)
Based on this tumblr thread (and fanart, go check it out!) suggesting that the crew make a wager on who could seduce Izzy the fastest.

Summary
Fic Discontinued. My apologies.
Izzy can't sleep since Blackbeard has returned. He stares at his door, night after night, ears straining to hear past the groan of the ship.
"“Fucking... come on, Hands. Get it together,” he growled, scrubbing a hand down his face. After a breath, he forced his body into motion, overriding the quivering animal inside that paralyzed him. It was just a cabin—his cabin, in fact. What was there to be scared of?"
A thank you to the discord for enabling this madness. Title is of course from The Night We Met.

Summary
Izzy could handle being captured. He could handle punishment. He could handle being locked up in the brig.
What he couldn't be expected to handle is having Lucius Spriggs locked up only five feet away.Or, absence surely does make the heart grow fonder, because if Lucius has to spend another night stuck next to Izzy, he's going to kill him.
Post Season 1. Izzy/Lucius Slow Burn, Eventual Smut. Eventual BlackBonnet.

Summary
Izzy supposes he gets used to having the assistant around. That doesn’t mean Izzy likes him. He’s rude, for one thing, completely fucking bitchy. He talks back, rolls his eyes, treats Izzy—treats him the way he treats authority. Dismissively, without a care in the world, as if he could take it or leave it.
The most fucking annoying thing about the stupid fucking assistant is his stupid fucking dating life.
-0-
When he starts sleeping with Lucius, Izzy has to process a lot of feelings about monogamy, about Edward, and about what he deserves.
A follow-up to "fine dining" in which Izzy finds his own way.
