   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
