    Summary

    It doesn't sink in until he's back on The Revenge, until he's staring aimlessly out at the dark seas with his hands on the wheel and Ivan asks him where Frenchie has gotten to, that they’d wanted to use him as a practice dummy for the new throwing axes they’d taken from a pirate ship that Izzy has already forgotten the name of.

    “Threw him overboard,” Izzy grumbles. “We have our flag. Blackbeard has no use for him now.”

    Ivan doesn’t question him.

    Izzy refusing them for the sake of their collective survival MY BELOVED YES YES! Excellent, amazing. Love how harsh Izzy's inner voice is when it comes to himself, oh the self punishment. Love how practical he is. Love this.

    Summary

    After Izzy reunites Stede and Ed, he leaves the Revenge - he thinks for good, nursing his own broken heart, trying to find out who he is without Blackbeard.
    Ed, however, is not ready to let him go. With Stede's and the crew's help, Ed works out what Izzy means to him and fights to get his First Mate back to his side once more.

    Navigating By The Light Of Your Stars is an Izzy Redemption / SteadyHands love story in three parts.

    Shooting Star covers the romance between Izzy and Edward, after Izzy leaves the Revenge.
    Supernova is simply some SteadyHands smut, which follows after the happenings of Shooting Star and
    Morningstar, which picks up directly where Supernova ends, is Stede and Izzy figuring out their own changing relationship.

    Heart full of love. This series fills me with joy for Israel Hands. Beautiful, sad in some parts, sexy sometimes, great voices all around. Izzy risking himself for Stede is so rewarding here. Re read forever.

    Summary

    Stede checks the injuries quickly and tries not to let his touch linger.

    Izzy lets him, his face still framed by Ed’s hands. They stand like breathing statues, oddly quiet and absorbed in each other.

    Stede feels a sudden surge of want at their display of devotion and trust, the silent rapport Ed and Izzy share that comes from years upon years of learning each other and being each other’s closest confidant.

    How a single touch, a single word from Ed is enough to enrapture Izzy so entirely that he lets a stranger, a man he barely seems to tolerate half of the time, touch him so intimately, let himself be seen so vulnerable around.

     

    Stede realizes he might be more invested in Izzy than he thought. He just is not sure if Izzy is similarly invested in him.

    Summary

    Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie
    John Milton, Arcades, 1633

    Someone’s singing aboard the Revenge, and the crew are determined to find out who.

    It’s probably not sirens. It’s definitely not Izzy Hands.

    Part siren Izzy my beloved! One of the cutest and softest Izzy centric fics here. Love all the implications of izzy's past with the siren call and the possibilities now that the whole crew knows. Ivan was a real gentleman in this. Frenchie is damn lucky.

    Summary

    ‘Remember,' Stede says, 'people like rewards. Instead of threatening someone to clean the deck, offer them a reward. A reason to want to do the work you’re asking them to do. Give it a try.’

    ‘If you mop properly, your reward will be to continue being alive.’ Izzy tries.

    ‘That’s a pretty compelling reward,’ Ed says. ‘I’d probably mop the deck if someone said that to me.’


    Or, Izzy terrorises the crew of the Revenge in order to process his emotions. Stede accidentally invents HR.

    Gosh gracious! Best best best! Izzy Nation Rising! Love everyone in this bar. Izzy so freaking mentally spiraling, but so loyal and efficient, I love him. The intervention, yes, let him be mean to keep everyone working well. This is perfect. Mooooooore.
