#also the only thing ive ever written where izzy and ed dont end up together lmao

[dogmatik]

modern au in which ed convinces iz to go to Vegas for booze n gamblin(theyre both very good at it), they get married trashed as hell(i know you cant actually legally get married drunk, suspension of disbelief pls). Neither one remembers but izzy finds a blurry video in his camera roll taken by a witness. He does not tell ed, because it's embarrassing and also stupid. fast forward 3 yrs ed and stede are madly in love, turns out they're BOTH legally married still(neither one knew this about the other, ed was entirely clueless). This causes a bit of strain, edward bein like "you have a fucking wife, and Two Children, and you didnt feel like that was important information to share BEFORE we started fucking???" to which stede responds along the lines of "well i asked you if you and izzy had something together, suppose that was a lie?" etc. they get through it eventually. cue Mary and Izzy meeting upon their respective divorces, bonding over dumb men in their lives and wine(izzy will not admit he enjoys wine, but he does finish one of her fancier bottles of white wines on his own). Anyway shenanigans in which Marys children now have 3 dads and an "uncle"(?) izzy. Their family dinners are a fucking mess Every Time, especially since stede insists upon inviting all of his rando queer friends. Lucius has still somehow managed to be dubbed the "gay uncle" by the bonnet children and he is Ecstatic.
