the way i play with Izzyverse is with every Izzy forming from a branching timeline- that they were all the same at some point, only one thing sent them off on the path to be "someones". some are obvious; Sam, Ed, Jack & Hornigold branch from the mutiny- a split second decision on who to go with, a miss timed hit leaving him in Hornigolds grasp- but the others are less so. how would he become Jackie's, or Ned's, or Anne and Mary's? what happens to make an Izzy Stede's? how do they even meet?

#for me; a stedes izzy has to form Early #before any relationships to ed or sam or anyone suited to his 'hard' life #because i think once hes caught in their orbit its pretty much game over. earth and moon #i dont think stede would stand a chance #i think. theyre kids. izzys been sailing for a few months. hes becoming a hardened pirate. but hes still really only 14/15 #and theyre in port one day. and he runs into this 9/10 year old kid. its stede #hes lost; he was running from some bullies but now hes turned around and the suns going down #hes this scared little rich kid in a rough part of town and thats where izzy comes across him; hiding in an alley #behind some crates. now izzys not exactly tender of heart but he does have a particular soft spot for children #he remembers being that child. cowering behind crates. running for safety. maybe its not the same but he cant help but feel this kinship #with stede. so rather than walking by; he speaks to this child #where it goes from there? who knows. i dont think izzy would let baby stede run away to be a pirate #(even if he wants to) but maybe they figure out something else #something happens that drags izzy into his orbit. that makes him be owned by him #nyxtalks #ofmd #izzyverse #(i think it probably works better pre hornigold izzy but. in my set up thats the first time he sees the sea so. fuck me i guess)#made my own bed n all #ill probably rewrite up this tag bit. at some point #sorry this was on the mind #probably not interesting to anyone but meeeee
