 âWhat kind of a moron gets shotâŚâ
Izzy x Reader
words: 1970
google docs pages: 3,5
warnings: blood, a gunshot wound, slight alcohol use
opening: A medic, you get shot in a crossfire. Itâs only after things have settled a little that anyone has time to notice you. No one but you are used to removing bullets, so obviously the crew chose the next most experienced pirate to help you with your instructions. Izzy.Â
AN// Reader can be any gender! I finally started watching this series, after putting it off for so long and oh my god do I love this man more than life itself. I would die for him. Anyway, sorry if this is a little ooc, Iâm learning how to write for him ! Requests for him would also be lovely, I have so many ideas that I donât even know what to write :D
 âWhat kind of a moron gets shotâŚâ
The feeling of rain hitting your face kept you to your senses, additional moisture to the already wet wooden deck you were laying on. At least you had made it back, but that did not remove the fact that someone from the other ship had gotten a good shot at your thigh. For that reason, you didn't mind the wet fabric sticking to your skin. The waves of pain radiating from your thigh were enough to keep your mind from thinking of anything else.Â
Your body curled up a little, hands going to hold the place of the wound on their own, or at least thatâs what it had felt like. Like your body was moving on its own. There wasnât much of a thought process happening in your mind, though it felt like you should have known what to do. Youâd removed more than one bullet in your time, and it wasnât a rare procedure to perform for you. But never could have you guessed the amount of pain a bullet wound caused. Youâd only ever helped someone else and seen them try their best to stay still for your sake. As much as you had hoped these thoughts would have distracted you from the pain, they didnât. The pain was still raging, making you groan and grunt silently against the deck. Or at least what you thought had been quietly up until voices became audible around you. Theyâd been there before as well, but theyâd become somehow louder by now. Like the people that sounded further away were now closer. The crew must have noticed something was wrong.
You opened your eyes, still curled up on the deck. Most of the crew were there, standing near you. From your perspective and what was left of your vision, they seemed concerned. But probably rightly so. Most of them had become quiet, only light chatter among them. âWell, fucking someone help me.â You growled, allowing the words to come out and going back to gritting your teeth straight after. The chatter got louder for a moment before someone was pushed out from the group. By the sound of his voice, you identified him quite easily. The first mate of Blackbeardâs, Izzy. He did not sound keen on doing this, insisting for someone else to do it before accepting his fate. But you and mostly everyone else in the crew seemed to agree on him being the most experienced for this, after you.Â
You knew their first idea would have been to just cut off the whole leg, but for the amount of times youâd helped them you were hoping theyâd see this as owing it to you and actually helping.
Your vision was getting a little more blurry, not badly but enough to make things a lot more confusing. You tried to keep a straight head, knowing youâd have to assist Izzy while he got the bullet out. While these thoughts were running through your mind, two of the crew members of which you hadnât seen who carried your form to the lower decks. No more of the rain, you thought. They cleared a table, and by the sound of it they must have just sweeped the items on it to the floor and placed you on the smooth surface instead.Â
There was a moment of silence before through your haze you could hear Izzyâs voice clearly. âWell, fuck off? No need for an audience.â He said, and by the sound of it the people previously there made their way back up. âCut theâŚthe pant leg.â You said, not wanting to waste any more time. Izzy looked at you, doing as you said but with slight hesitation. âHow does a medic manage to get shot?â The first man asked in a voice you wanted to believe was annoyance, trying not to find a hint of worry from his voice. You didnât want to imagine a man worried for your life trying to save it. âGuess the bullets couldnât resist aâŚa checkup.â You took a quick breath, gritting your teeth as the fabric was pulled off from over the wound. Izzy didnât say anything to that, perhaps it had been a bad time to joke either way. You didnât have time to waste, for anything from the bullet could leak to your bloodstream if you kept stalling. âT-take off yer belt-â You had to take a breather before continuing, but that was enough for Izzy to give you a dirty look, which you were glad you couldnât see properly through the slight blur. âAnd wrap it a little higher from the woundâŚâ You finished the sentence, trying to stay still on the table. âGathered that much.â He said, voice still stern as he undid his belt and wrapped it tightly around your thigh. âGet yer knifeâŚand dig..dig the bastard out.â You breathed out, closing your eyes for a moment as you braced yourself for what was about to come.Â
The sound of Izzy taking out a knife from his belt opened your eyes once more. You took a weak hold of his wrist before the first mate was able to start the process. âIf I lose consciousness afterâŚtake the fabric you removed and..and use it to close up the wound after cleaning with rumâŚâ You instructed him before your hand let loose from his wrist. His eyes were on you, you could feel it. Yet, he did not say a word. It worried you, but you didnât want to tell him that. You wanted to think that he didnât care. As many times as you had spent time with him, he did not care for you. Maybe, just maybe, he enjoyed talking to you from time to time.Â
You took a hold of the edge of the table, which was worth it. Because as soon as Izzy had dug the knife into the wound you screeched. Using the palm of your hand to cover the rest of the horrendous noises leaving you, feeling hot tears push their way through and fall down the sides of your face. The gritting of your teeth helped, somewhat. The feeling of the blade hitting the bullet sent a mix of shivers along with waves of pain through your body.
You tolerated it for a while, in a way proud of yourself for that, this being the first time a bullet was being removed from you. Though, that did not last long.
The dim lights in the lower deck began to seem darker, and your body wasnât contorting itself the same way as before. In a way you felt more relaxed this way, though the darkness that had started to slowly surround you was something you didnât look forward to. A faint sound of the bullet hitting the wooden flooring as the knife left your body was the last thing you heard. Your consciousness faded away, leaving Izzy alone with bloodied hands and a mess on the table.Â
His gaze shook a little, but he stood still at the table. Thanking whoever had left a bottle of rum in the lower deck. Izzy took a hold of the brown bottle and took a swig from it himself. With a second to think, he poured the liquid from the bottle straight onto the wound. It felt odd not to hear you instruct him, not that he needed it anymore. But you being so silent, seemingly dead to anyone else's eye who might have walked past, it shook him a little. As many people as he had killed and seen dead, none of them had affected him this way. The thoughts of your death filled his mind for a brief second, before the first mate shook them away. He wasnât sure how much to pour, stopping eventually. He thought you might like the rest of it once you woke up. In his experience, rum was good at numbing feelings. Just what pain was, only a feeling.Â
Izzy wrapped the wound best he could, leaving the belt on. You hadnât told him what to do with it after, and that had only now occurred to him. As much as his duties would have commanded for him to leave you with the rest of the crew, he did not want for you to wake up in the noise and smell that was the crewâs quarters. Was what he told himself, not being able to ask for your opinion.Â
He might have not been the tallest man on deck, but that did not mean he was weak in any way. He picked you up easily, carrying you to his quarters. Barely a spot for sleeping fit there, but he managed.Â
The first mate laid your still form onto the small bed, seating himself onto a box next to it. His eyes stayed on the bed for some time before a sigh left his lungs, turning his eyes to his hands. He placed them over his face for a while, the burning feeling of tears trying to push through all too familiar at this point. They never truly fell down, so it did not count as crying for him. A pirate didn't cry.
So he sat there, the held-back tears reddening his eyes a little as he leaned on the wall behind him and stared at the other in front of him, keeping his gaze up. He felt conflicted, more so than usual. He hadnât thought of you, not of how much he seemed to care. Sure, the two of you had spent an odd amount of time together, but you preferred to be alone or at least at the sidelines, so did he. So, for long it had been a coincidence that you bumped in together. And during those times you spent together were almost enough to make him feel alive again. But when you didnât, was when he truly felt lonely. And so he did now, now when you were unconscious. A sharp breath drawn by you caught his attention back. The end of it started sounding more like a hiss than anything else. Your eyes tried to open slowly, but the sheering pain forced them to snap open with yet another hiss. You curled up on the bed before your eyes landed on Izzy. His mouth was slightly agape, but soon realised to hand you the bottle from earlier which you gladly accepted. After a long swig you handed it back to him, hand shaking ever so slightly. Eyes focusing on him now, vision back to what you remembered as normal. Even with Izzy keeping his gaze quite low, you could see the slight tint of red in his eyes. The first mate hadnât said anything yet, so you decided to break the silence. âHave you been crying?â Came out rustier than intended, but the teasing tone of voice was still clear somewhere in there. Izzyâs jaw tightened, but he must have backed away from what he wanted to say. âSod off.â He looked away for a moment, expression much softer after from what you could tell. Though, he seemed stiff. Like he was shaken in a way youâd never seen him before. âIzzy-â You sighed, not sure what to say to him, so instead you thought of something else. His other hand was resting on the edge of the bed. Expecting him to pull away at the very least, you placed your hand on his, but he didnât. He allowed your slightly warmer, shaky palm to warm his colder hand, badly wiped away blood dried on it. âThank you.â You said silently, not to disturb the oddly peaceful silence that had formed from the slightest of connections. Izzy turned to you, moving his hand further on the bed, not adding anything to that. The touch was a thank you enough, more than enough to him.Â

izzy hands sfw headcanons part 2
a/n: part 1 here. part 3 here HAHAHAHA im going lulu (also if you see any mistakes feel free to tell me so
after the loss of his leg, sometimes he might pretend to forget his cane just so he has to lean on you for support. truth is, he hid it under his bed so you would have a harder time finding it and he could spend more time with your arms around him
speaking of leaning, he leans a lot to get a look at you from a lower perspective (not that it's hard, he's not very tall), he leans on your body, on your arms and on your shoulders because he likes your warmth and loves to feel you near him
holds your hand to move around as well, displaying it proudly to the crew and puffing his chest out like a peacock so they know you're together
also tends to get very flushed if you lean on him and hold his hand, looking around expecting a joke, until you distract him with kisses on his cheek
lives for moments where you need comfort. it's not that he likes it when you're feeling bad, but he likes to feel needed for emotional suport, like he's good enough to make you feel better
he loves to feel useful when it comes to you, and so he learns to anticipate your needs and wants. he leaves something light for you to eat on a table on his cabin beside a cup of water, when on land always buys you new clothing pieces that he knows you might need, gets extra blankets in the middle of the night because he knows you might get cold, all that cheesy stuff
he's a romantic at heart
he is very particular about his hair, and has learned how to keep it tidy and practical for his day to day like. however, if you ever ask him to run your hands through it in the middle of the day or to style it in a different way, he'll move like lightning to sit on the ground, head at your hand's level so you can do as you please
his 'disheveled hair' look is probably his hottest too, strands framing his face beautifully, making him look disgruntled and mysterious at the same time. your fingers ache to touch it whenever he's like that
after a while he starts wearing his hair loose (without gel or pomade) more often while on the job, relaxing more and more with his own image
(he still loves his puffy fancy hair though
it's also the softest hair ever. you don't mention it when you notice the many hair care products hidden behind his bathtub, or the different things he uses to keep his hair in place, just as he won't mention it when he notices that you started using them too to smell like him
his favorite thing to do is having his hair taken care of by you. just mark him as yours in as many ways as you can
the curls on the nape of his neck are so endearing and charming it's hard for you to pay attention on anything he's saying. if he notices, he swears at you and walks off, fighting a goofy smile
one day, he decides he's gonna cut his hair short. you are supportive about it, obviously, even if a part of you is dying inside. so he goes out, cuts it and comes back with a glint on his eyes that is so obvious and endearing, as if he's begging you to praise him and call him pretty
and he just looks so nice and tidy and hot (so fucking hot) that you can't help but spend the next hour or so messing with his hair until his legs are wobbly and his mouth is hanging open
his hair ends up being spiked up very often, which makes him look younger and more relaxed. it brings warmth to your heart, and a shy smile to his lips
taking care of him is a tricky job, reserved to you (and fang) on the rare occasions he's too sick to fight back. still, he whines and struggles and cusses the both of you out until he gets too tired to complain anymore and just allows it to happen
feels extremely embarassed and self conscious whenever you feed him soup, but secretely he's vibrating with joy from your attention and care. he can't help but notice how much love is present from your touches and actions, and it makes him feel almost worthy of it
his favorite foods are the ones you cook for him when he's sick. you manage to put so much flavor and affection in it those that sometimes he yearns for a cold or a headache just so you'll cooks him something without him having to ask
he doesn't notice how much better you treat him in comparison to past lovers until jim or fang mention it to him, and he starts watching the things you do for him
it's the little things for him, like the way you neatly fold his clothes after he takes them off, the way there's always a cup of water on the side of his bed in the morning, or how sometimes you'll just remember things that he's mentioned in passing once and buy him a related trinket when you're both on land
he's over the moon and proud of having earned your affections, and will even grin in that manic way that sometimes gets to him

Izzy x (Genderneutral)Reader
Ed reveals the reason Izzy is always so grumpy and short tempered is because he got separated from you.
Warnings: Mentions of blood, knives/swords. Word count: 4655
Izzy stomps away from yet another shouting match muttering under his breath as he goes the rest of the crew staring after him in a state of shock. He had never yelled that much for something so little. Lucius had kissed Pete on the cheek and next thing Izzy was yelling and cursing about everything. âWell, that was intense.â Lucius nods agreeing with his partner just as Stede and Ed emerge onto deck âWhat the blazes was that all about?â Ed glances over at his first mate and Roach speaks up âIzzy snapped.â
Ed nods slightly âWe heard that. Why?â Lucius glances at Pete âI kissed Pete on the cheek.â Stede looks shocked âSomething so small? Really? We thought someone had broken the ship.â Ed looks confused a moment before looking up speaking quickly âWhatâs the date?â
âSorry?â
âThe date. Today. What is it?â
Lucius looks at the diary tucked under his arm âJune 2nd possibly 3rd.â Ed, Ivan and Fang all exchange a look of understanding âJune 3rd. Iâll go check on him.â Ed leaves the rest of the crew gathering around Ivan and Fang who clearly have the rest of the story. Stede pipes up âWhat happened June 3rd?" Ivan sighs shrugging âIt was just over two years ago. We raided a merchant vessel, turned out to have a lot more weapons on board than we intended and was actually full of trained soldiers. We managed to set the ship a light and get back to the Queen Anne when the flames hit a gunpowder storage. Lucky our ship wasnât damaged, but it caused a big confusion.â
He stops and Fang takes over the story âthose that were on the main deck didnât get injured, but it did confuse us enough that the merchant crew managed to take charge. Two of our crew where captured which did allow the rest to escape but Ed forbid us from going back. We now know one was killed but the second we donât know. Their name was Y/N, they were Izzyâs. Partner? Lover? Companion? Actually, Iâm not sure what they were but they were incredibly close, always had each otherâs backs. God, forbid you threatened one of them the other was always close by. They were the only one who could best Izzy at swordplay,â he grins âPart from Stede.â
Ivan sighs âBefore we lost Y/N, Izzy was actually pretty tolerable. Heâs always had a temper and a tendency to threaten people, but Y/N could always calm them. Couldnât help but like Y/N, donât get me wrong they were a ruthless pirate, loyal to Ed and Izzy. Forgot to mention Y/N was Edâs younger sibling, least we think so. Fiercely protective of each other.â
The whole crew remains silent taking the information in. Ed leans on the railing next to Izzy crossing his arms out over the water âI miss âem too Iz.â
âFuck off Edward.â
âI just thought⌠Actually, donât know what I thought.â
Izzy sighs shoulders sagging âWhy couldnât we go back?â Ed frowns staring out over the sea âI had to think of the crew. If we had gone back, you know none of us would of come away.â Ed clasps Izzyâs shoulder âY/N probably would have some stupid motivational crap to say to ya but fraid all I got is theyâre gone mate, not anything we can do about it. Just have to move on.â Ed walks away Stede falling into step beside him âYou never mentioned you had a brother/sister?â
Ed shrugs slightly walking back into their cabin âNot something I like to talk about. Theyâre dead not anything can do about it.â
âStill, you must miss them. Where you close?â Ed sighs falling onto the sofa âSuppose we weâre close yea. Them and Izzy where the only two I ever trusted.â Stede sits on the edge of the sofa by Edâs feet frowning âIâm sorry.â Ed shrugs ââis alright. Sometimes feel guilty for it though. You know? I was captain, I ordered the raid and the burning of the ship.â
âItâs not your fault Ed,â Stede tries to sound reassuring patting his leg âIâm sure there was nothing you could have done.â Ed flips himself around, so his head is in Stedes lap letting him play with his hair âItâs not your fault.â
Izzy is still standing over the railing the ring usually safe around his neck scarf clasped between thumb and finger.
âIzzy.â Y/N hisses from the shadows pulling the first mate away from the crowds âWhat the fuck are you doing?â Y/N rolls their eyes âPlaying crochet. What do you fucking think Iâm doing. Captain Vance just turned up.â
âShit.â Y/N snorts in response âMy thoughts exactly. Come on.â The two make their way towards the docks using the back alleys both freezing when a deep gravelly voice echoes down the confined space making it seem louder âWell, well, well what do we have here? Israel Hands and Y/N Teach.â The two-freeze swearing colourfully before turning Izzy raising his sword and Y/N gripping a pistol tightly âWhat do you want Vance?â
Vance a large bulky man with scars decorating most of his skin the remainder coated in ink. âThatâs Captain Vance to you dog.â Y/N scowls their grip on the pistol tightening as the flick the hammer ready to fire âWhat do you want Captain Vance?â
âI want to kill you two worthless lumps. You torched my ship.â Izzy smiles slightly âOnly a little.â Vance seethes âA little. A little? You destroyed it.â Vance takes out two pistols readying them to fire âI would like to draw this out, make it painful and slow. Then watch as Black Beard finds your mutilated bodies. But unfortunately, I do not have that luxury. Still, you will at least be dead.â Y/N shoots first three shots echoing around the alley. Vance falls to the ground blood blossoming from his shoulder while his shots hit the wall sending bits of rock flying.
âTime to go.â Y/N grabs Izzyâs arm the two of them running full pelt from the alley as Vance swearing and spluttering lumbers back to his feet to give chase. Flying out into the busy street where a market is being held the two dodge between stalls skidding down another alley as Vanceâs crew appear with their captain in the lead a bloodied cloth to his shoulder âFIND THEM.â
âWeâve got to get back to the ship!â Y/N turns to Izzy pausing when they both realise how close they have gotten in the small space. Izzyâs cheek heat while Y/N smirks âAm I making you uncomfortable Iz?â he shakes his head slightly making the latter chuckle pressing a soft kiss to his cheek before shooting him a wink âIâll cause a distraction. You get Ed.â
Before Izzy can protest Y/N has leapt onto the closest stool selling jewellery grabbed a fistful of brightly coloured gems and started yelling at the top of their lungs âCaptain Vance, I believe these colours would draw the attention away from that ass of a face you have. Although anyone would have to be blind before they even considered you attractive. Least you can fight⌠oh wait no you canât. Youâre just crap at everything arenât you.â
Jumping from stall to stall and causing utter chaos in the midst Y/N runs deeper into town while Izzy runs back to the ship to get backup. The two of them may be the best swords on the Queen Anne but theyâre also smart enough to know Captain Vance and his crew are not to be messed with. As Izzy reaches the ship as a large explosion shakes the docks a cloud of dust rising from deep inside the town. âWhat the fuck was that.â Ed appears on the gangplank while Izzy sighs shaking his head slightly âWho do you think?â they both say the same thing in unison âY/N.â
As if they have been summoned Y/N comes skidding over the rooftopâs tiles falling to the floor before they topple to the ground in a heap when they jump on a barrel that is not secure âWhat the fuck did you do?â Izzy helps them to their feet âCaused a distraction. Captain Vance will no longer be a problem.â Ed snorts supporting Y/Nâs other side as they walk onto the ship âOur worst enemy gone for good. Excellent work. Iz help âem get cleaned up gotta make sure weâre ready to go.â
Izzy helps Y/N limp to their cabin âDo I even want to know?â Y/N shrugs âProbably not. Got you something.â Out their pocket they take a simple diamond ring smiling proudly âItâs not real, and pretty sure itâs not even gold but for you.â Izzy takes it slipping it on the handkerchief around his neck âWhere did you get it?â
Y/N starts removing their outer layers poking at a wound on their side while talking âStole it. Its only temporary before I get you something better. Canât have my man wearing second rate jewellery. But thought you needed something to show you were taken. Not that pirates care for such things. You donât have to wear it; just thought I donât know.â Izzy rolls his eyes clamping a hand over Y/Ns mouth to stop their rambling âIâll wear it. Though weâve already got tattoos canât get much more permanent than that.â Y/N shrugs starting to clean their cut before Izzy takes over kneeling between their legs on the floor âDo you think weâll be okay? With our profession and everything.â
The two stare into each otherâs eyes a moment before Y/N closes the gap cupping Izzyâs face gently âWeâre gonna be just fine.â
Izzy returns the ring to its rightful place. Y/N did in fact gift him much more most of it stolen but some of it actually bought, including the sword hanging at his side. He glances at the pale band of skin on his ring finger still visible despite two years, the ring that use to sit their long gone. Where he had no idea, but it felt like a stab to the chest every time he saw it was gone. Returning his gaze out over the sea he ignores the whispering crew behind him wishing he could go back and change the past and return Y/N Teach to his side.
Your P/O/V:
Shit. I duck into the nearest alley tugging my hood further forward as a group of navy officerâs marches past in perfect form. Breathing a sigh of relief when they pass, I push back my hood leaning against the wall. Finally free of that cramped cell and tattered clothing. Two years, eight months and three weeks spent in an British prison, itâs a relief to be free. Though wanted posters have started appearing around the docks with a reasonable reward.
Keeping to the shadows I head closer to the docks inspecting the ships currently docked. Taverns are the best place for gossip, and I have heard varying tales of my brother, which ones I believe I am not sure. Most people give me wary looks the heavy hood, leather and two swords crossed across my back and pistol holstered on my thigh donât exactly scream friendly.
Finding a dingy tavern any member of the navy would avoid like the plague I step inside tossing a few coins on the counter âRum.â The bartender an elderly man with multiple missing teeth and stringy hair pushes a glass across the counter âAnd information I imagine?â I smile into my drink âWhat do you know of Blackbeard?â
âBlackbeard? Queen Anne is under new captainage they was here last week. Not sure where Blackbeard ended up. Word is heâs gone soft sailing with some gentlemen pirate, though few believe those rumours.â I nod finishing my drink he refills it without my asking before moving along the bar to serve someone else. I sip this one leaning back against the bar, gentlemen pirate never heard of him before.
Finishing my second drink I stalk out the bar all I need is a ship. A small vessel catches my eye definitely pirate from the crew loading up supplies I watch from the shadows as they stumble about on deck. Not the most experienced of crew but they will have to all I need is the captain. Someone clears their throat behind me, and I turn âShit.â The officer grins âY/N Teach you are under arrest.â I sigh putting my hands in the air âFine you caught me.â turning away for a second, I form a fist before spinning back catching the officer across the jaw sending him sprawling to the ground.
Taking of I run towards the tree line more shouts echoing behind, so much for a low profile. Several shots ring out as I start zig-zagging closer to the trees jumping over a stack of barrels and a wall before finally reaching the trees. âYou are ordered to stop.â I grin speeding up as I enter the trees following a worn path deeper in land before taking a sharp turn back to the coast. Swinging myself up into the low branches I jump from tree to tree watching the navy officers below following my footprints âWhere did they go?â
âThey canât be far.â
âDo we kill them?â
I jump to the next tree slowly making my way back to town. Jumping back to the ground I turn quickly when two men yelp. Drawing my sword, I turn lowering it when it is not soldiers. âYou never saw me.â they both nod and I take off again reaching a small beach already inhabited. A group of pirates lounging around on the sand. âCaptain?â I take a step back ready to run again when two men turn to answer the question: one an elaborately dressed blond who looks more gentleman than pirate the other. âEdward!?â
I would recognise that beard anywhere. I push back my hood taking several steps forward, his eyes widen in recognition âYouâre not dead.â I snort âNot last I checked.â He runs over poking my chest then my cheek âYouâre really not dead.â I roll my eyes punching him in the stomach making him grunt âPoint taken.â I grin âThatâs for leaving me behind.â He laughs the two of us colliding in a hug âCanât believe youâre not dead.â I laugh âSorry to disappoint.â
He shakes his head âWhat? No. Not what I meant. Shit. Izzy. Whereâs Izzy? Stede whereâs Izzy?â Stede the fancy blonde looks confused âBack on the ship. Why?â Ed grins grabbing my arm âCome on.â I dig my heels into the sand âNavy kinda after my head. Town is not a good idea.â Ed frowns only pausing a moment before resuming dragging me across the beach âNope. Come on.â I manage to tug up my hood as we practically sprint to the ship I spotted earlier and up onto the deck.
âIzzy! Get your butt out here. Iz. Iz. Izzy.â Fang, Ivan, and Izzy all come running onto deck swords drawn âEdward what the hell is going⌠on?â I push back my hood Izzyâs sword falling to the ground âLook whoâs not dead.â
âY/N?â I smile slightly the rest of the crew disappearing my sole focus on Izzy. âI missed you Iz.â He steps forward still looking a little shell shocked âWe thought you were dead.â I shrug slightly âHad a couple close calls but still here.â I smile my stomach tying in knots as I step closer âI can leave ifâŚâ I donât get the chance to finish his body colliding with mine âDonât. Donât even.â I chuckle wrapping my arms around him âYou really think I would leave Iz? Spent the last two years trying to get back to you.â
His grip tightens but I gently ease his face away from my neck cupping his face in one hand smiling softly âMissed you Iz.â He returns my smile the corners of his eyes crinkling slightly âYouâre really here.â I nod leaning my forehead against his âIâm here.â I grin tracing the ring around his neck âCanât believe you still have this. Which reminds me, this belongs to you.â I tug on the cord around my neck two identical silver bands with waves pressed into the metal. I take one of putting it back where it belongs on Izzyâs ring finger âI thought I lost it.â I shake my head âYou left it on the side in our cabin when you helped with my stitches. I was going to return it after the raid and well you know the rest.â
My brother clears his throat the two of us pulling apart âWait hang on. Izzy is capable of smiling?â I bite my lip leaning down to kiss Izzyâs cheek neither of us had ever been big on PDA, but I want to remind myself heâs real. Izzy scowls at the pirate who spoke making him laugh Ed steps forward before anything else can be said âEverybody. This is my little brother/sister Y/N.â Stede smiles brightly âStede Bonnet its lovely to meet you.â I shake his hand tentatively shocked when Ed throws an arm around his shoulders smiling lovingly at the strange man âReunion can wait we really need to get out here.â
We all turn our attention back to the docks where a large number of navy officers have gathered combing the docks from top to bottom. Stede nods âRight. Come along everyone, get the rest of those stores below pronto.â The ship is a flurry of activity as the gang plank is raised and the sails unfurled. I remain tense till we are well out into the open sea, Izzy joins me at the prow, and I move so I can wrap my arms around his waist head resting on his shoulder âSo how long has Ed been like this?â
Izzy chuckles leaning forward against the railing my arms atop his âFair while.â I close my eyes breathing in the sea air enjoying the light breeze that ruffles Izzyâs hair âIâm sorry.â I open my eyes confused. âI thought you were behind us. I should have checked, should have been there for you.â I move my arms so they are wrapped around his chest and waist âIz there is nothing you could have done. I donât blame you for what happened.â
âYou should.â His voice sounds so small it breaks my heart âI donât, and neither should you. none of us knew what would happen, pirating ainât a career known for its safety. The only thing I couldnât stand was the fact I never got to say goodbye or tell you how much I love you or how much you mean to me.â he turns so we are face to face tears staining his cheeks which I brush away gently âBecause I do love you Israel hands. Time has not changed that.â
âI love you too.â His lips are hesitant at first as they brush against mine before I draw him closer with a hand cupping his cheek. âSwear we wonât leave each otherâs side ever again.â I grin âTill death do us part right?â he nods lips twitching into a small smile âTill death do us part.â I kiss him again deeper this time running my fingers through his hair while his dig into the front of my shirt pulling the two of us closer together. âThis better not be a dream.â I chuckle tracing the star then the swallow tattooed on his neck âI promise its real.â
We remain together ignoring the rest of the crew who stare and whisper while we return to our previous position watching the water lapping the front of the boat while catching up on two years of tales more so from him than me catching me up on the strange crew, he has found himself with. Finally, we exhaust most topics and Izzy sighs heavily âThey will want to talk to you.â I smile âI won you over, reckon I can deal with this lot.â His smile grows slightly before returning to his neutral expression âLetâs get this over with then.â We turn making our way to the centre deck the crew trying and failing to hide their curiosity. Ed saunters over grinning âYou both look insanely happy. Hey, you got your ring back.â Izzy nods slightly tracing the silver band while Ed throws an arm around my shoulders âEveryone this is Y/N. Y/N this is my new crew, well our crew.â He grins at Stede âLucius, Pete, John, Jim, Frenchie, Olowande, Roach, Swede, and Frenchie. You already know Ivan and Fang.â I nod slightly in greeting.
Olo waves while Swede looks confused âI thought they were dead.â I smile slightly âNope.â Ivan grins âGood to have ya back.â Ed chuckles while Stede clumsily walks over stuttering over his words âWell then, how about you tell us a bit about yourself. We talk things through as a crew on this vessel. And I know I would like to know a bit more about you.â I frown âWhatâs there to know? Iâm good with a sword, spent the last two years in a British jail cell, anyone hurts Izzy or my brother, and they get a knife in the gut.â Stede nods looking slightly alarmed âRight well I was thinking more along the lines of your favourite colour? Or perhaps hobbies?â
Izzy makes a sort of choked cough noise while I bite back a laugh âYour new to this aren't you?.â Stede beams âYes, realatively. Now Roach is our resident cook and doctor, Izzy is first mate, Buttons is normally at the helm and Lucius is my scribe. Iâm sure you will find your place soon enough; do you have any particular skills you feel may benefit the group?â Ed laughs âYou kidding? Theyâre strong, fast, agile. Excellent with a sword and daggers, spent half their time up in the bloody rigging. Though two years out of action may have effected that.â
I grin reaching for one of my swords âWant to test that theory, Edward?â he draws his own sword spinning it artistically âAlright N/N.â Izzy sighs grumbling âYou wonât beat them Ed.â I block every blow I may have been locked up for two years but that didnât stop me from training in any way I could keeping up arm strength and agility. My muscles strain slightly but I grin putting more weight into my blows before knocking my brother to the ground sword pointed to his chest âFuck. Really thought I could win that.â Grinning I haul him back to his feet âDonât feel too bad about its Eddy.â
He groans rolling his eyes âNot that fucking name again.â I laugh clapping him on the back âOnly if you piss me off, I promise.â The rest of the crew are grinning broadly while Ed claps me on the shoulder âSo two years in prison ay?â I shrug eyes darkening âDonât want to talk about it.â
âWhen did you get out?â I sigh running my thumb over my blade before sheathing it âThree days ago. I got to the coast this morning. Then you know the rest.â His face softens slightly âIâm sorry N/N.â I shrug brushing him off âItâs in the past, nothing you could have done. Just drop it.â he nods returning to his usual self âWell you catch up on some rest. Iz?â he nods motioning with his head, I follow into a small cabin immaculately tidy. A bunk along one wall just big enough for two, a writing desk, two storage chests and a small window âI kept all your stuff. Never could bring myself to getting rid of it.â
I turn pulling him into a tight hug the both of us dropping our shields âThought of you every day.â He chuckles kissing me gently âI didnât handle you leaving well.â I smile tugging of my jacket and laying it over the chair also removing my swords and boots âLet me guess you returned to your grouchy side.â He rolls his eyes âIâm always grouchy.â Laughing I sit on the bed pulling him down on top âYea, but you have a grouchy side and then your super grouchy side. I know you Iz and I would have acted the same way.â
He sighs the two of us laying comfortably on the bed. He starts tracing the tattoos on my arms stopping at the largest on my bicep. An anchor with rope wrapped around it and a compass behind. âI remember when you got that.â I grin âEd was acting all high and mighty that he got a tattoo so I had to get one that was bigger.â Izzy chuckles continuing up to my shoulder before moving to my other arm focusing on the inside of my wrist an anchor with roses wrapped around it âI regretted not getting mine more visible.â
I grin tracing the back of his shoulder blade where his own tattoo is etched. âWe could get another one?â he laughs âHmm maybe.â I shift slightly my shirt riding up âWhatâs that?â I freeze tugging my shirt back down âItâs nothing.â Sitting up he pushes my shirt back eyes turning cold as he examines the lines wrapping around my sides scars left from all the times the navy tried to get information out of me âTurn over.â
âIz, I donât think.â âTurn over.â slowly I turn almost glad I canât see his expression as his fingers ghost over the skin. âIâm going to fucking kill them.â I turn back grabbing his hands âIâm okay Iz. I was worth more alive than dead, but they gave up trying to get information after eight months. â I try and smile failing when Izzy looks so broken âIs your entire backâŚâ I shrug âI have no idea. Probably. Could only see a small portion in the mirror.â Sighing I turn and pull of my shirt Izzy he traces up along the back âFucking hell Y/N.â
âHowâs my tattoo?â his hands freeze a chocked laugh coming from him âSorry, just trying to make light of this.â His arms wrap tightly around my waist âI should have been there to protect you.â I relax into his warmth turning around so we are face to face. âOkay hereâs whatâs going to happen. We are going to move on from this, you are going to stop beating yourself up. I donât blame you for anything. Look at me Iz,â he meets my eyes and I smile âNow pull yourself together. Neither of us are good with this sappy crap we can leave that to Ed and whatever him and the weird blonde have going on.â
A grin slowly spreads across his face âI donât know what I did to deserve you Y/N Teach.â I grin rolling my eyes playfully âI love you Izzy Hands.â His mouth collides with mine the two of us falling back into the bed âWe ever bump into the navy Iâm slaughtering them all.â I grin kissing him again âIf it makes you feel better, I already killed the two who did it.â He snorts kissing my cheek âHelps a little.â He flops onto my chest while I run my fingers through his hair.
3rd person P/O/V:
Ed walks out onto deck frowning âAnyone seen Iz?â the rest of the crew look around confused. Where is the angry man of a first mate? âPete, Ivan? No one has seen him?â
âNope.â âNo.â
âFrenchie go check his cabin.â Frenchie nods and disappears below deck knocking gently on the door before peeking inside. Y/N and Izzy are sprawled on the bed in a tangle of limbs both sleeping soundly. Hastily Frenchie shuts the door and makes his way back to the deck âBoth asleep captain.â Ed laughs âSleeping? Really?â Stede smiles warmly âWell they have both been through rather a lot. Letâs leave them rest for a bit.â

Rotten Work | Izzy Hands x Reader
Summary: You never break a promise
Warnings: Swearing, angst, hurt/comfort, mentions of blood and injuries, established relationship, reader is gender neutral, not proofread!! first time writing for the olâ wet rat man, i love him
Izzy didnât want to be seen.
Scratch that, he just didnât want to be seen by you.
After the âincidentâ with Blackbeard and losing his toe, there was a shift. A major one. You could see it, the pain on his face and in his soul. Though he hid his emotions well, you could still read him like the back of your hand. You two were married, after all.
That wasnât all though, course it wasnât. Even after all these years spent together, going to literal hell and back you still managed to pull through every time. This time, however, it felt like Izzy was giving up. Not just on you and your relationship, but himself, as well.
It pained you greatly, knowing that the man you loved more than life itself was going through the unimaginable and you couldnât do a damn thing about it. Because Blackbeard wouldnât allow it.
Because Izzy wouldnât accept it.
Time after time you tried to get him to let you in, to let you help him, countless nights spent outside his door - the cabin you once shared, before Blackbeard decided to ruin that. He forbid you from even being near Izzy. The closest you could get to him now was to sleep in the hallway, and having to put up with hearing as his soft snores turned into hushed cries when he woke up from yet another nightmare.
You couldnât do this any longer. He, couldnât do this any longer. Your time with Izzy had already been cut short due to being forced away from one another, and now you were worried it was going to happen permanently.
Izzy was strong, you knew that, course you did. But what would be the straw that broke the camels back? One person can only endure so much before it all becomes too much, so what would that be?
And when?
After another near sleepless night, you had to fight tooth and nail to make sure you were on deck before Blackbeard decided to make himself present for the day. And god, when he did, well⌠you just wished he hadnât. Apparently the last few days you and the crew spent raiding and slaughtering any ship you could find wasnât enough, because Blackbeard wanted more.
Hasnât he taken enough?
To mark the matters of the day worse, the ship you raided just so happened to be a wedding. The already impossibly tight knots in your stomach worsened, as you were forced to play a pawn in his little game and tear apart what shouldâve been a special day for the newlyweds. Soon, white became splattered with red as you cruelly and savagely sliced apart the bride.
And even when it was all over, you could still hear her soul shattering screams as she cried out for her lover.
You felt sick, not being able to stomach the thought of eating right now. Blackbeard decided to take the cake, now seemingly kind enough to divvy out some for the crew. No one ate any, all too tired and burnt out from the countless other slaughters from the day before. This just seemed like over kill. Heh. Literally.
The others tried making idle conversation, wanting to lighten up the atmosphere, but what could be said right now? It was all so, so⌠poisonous. At least, thatâs how Jim put it. Yeah, was a good word for it. Man, if only you knew how badly those words would bite you in the ass later on.
Word got back to Blackbeard, as it always did.
He wasnât too happy in what was said. Now, as you all stood before him on the deck, desperately trying not to break when he waved his gun around at the crew when he made them all go around and state that the atmosphere wasnât poison, it was your turn.
âAnd you, dear little y/n Handsssss,â he dragged on your last name teasingly. So much malice, so much madness in his eyes. âDo you think the atmosphere on this ship is poison?â Gun pointed at your head, a man you once trusted behind it, the man you loved standing behind him. Izzy. Your eyes, tearful and pained, found his pleading ones. âNo,â you let out a gasp, closing your eyes and letting a stray tear fall.
It felt like ages before Blackbeard got through the whole crew, but he wasnât done yet. When you opened your eyes again, you were met with the sight of him now holding the gun up to his own chin. You looked at Izzy, who refused to look back at you.
Until he did, a fire inside of them that you hadnât seen in a while. âFucking end!â he yelled, and thatâs when all hell broke loose. The gun went off, so loud and so deafening. Damning. Haunting. Red, a color you began to hate so deeply, starting to stain the wooden floor beneath you. And Izzy⌠oh, Izzy.
Oh god, you couldnât breathe. Izzy, now laying on the deck, screaming in pain and bleeding, so close and yet so far from you. The next few moments of your life went by in a blur, and yet you felt like you were moving in slow motion.
Youâre not sure who helped you down below deck, you just remembered someone gently scooping you up into their arms as they followed where Izzy was taken to.
And thatâs where you where now, where you have been for what felt like days now. His hand was tightly clutched in yours, the grip you had never wavering, even when Izzy was in and out of consciousness, muttering widely and thrashing about.
Your presence and loyalty never wavered, either. Not even when he finally came to, for real, and wouldnât look you in the eye. Too afraid to find judgement or resentment in your eyes, but those are feelings you would never know how to feel towards him, anyways.
âIz, please,â you tried to plea. Over and over. You needed him to talk to you, needed to hear his voice. But he just⌠wouldnât. He couldnât. It was bad enough that you had to see him like this, so how the hell was he supposed to keep himself composed and not break into pieces if he trusted himself to talk?
âIzzy, please, just⌠talk to me.â your voice was so quiet, so gentle, but the pain was there. He couldnât just hear it, he could feel it too. Your pain was his pain, and his pain yours. The both of you were hurting, for reasons both the same and not.
Hell, Izzy realizes. Heâs putting you through hell.
âMy love, please. Please,â you cried. The grip you had was beginning to falter, showing him just how tired you really were. He kept his eyes down, off and away from you. His chest rose up and down, tense with the words he wanted to say but didnât know how. Maybe youâll get so fed and and just leave him there to rot, as he deserved. He put you all through this mess, you didnât need to be the one cleaning it upâŚ
But you, being you, stubborn and hardheaded as always, werenât going to give up so easily. He thought maybe you were, when you released your hand from his, standing up in the meantime. He closed his eyes, thinking this is it. You were going to walk out that door, where youâd never enter from again, leaving him alone to hide in the guilt and shame he felt.
Instead, gentle but firm hands cupped his cheeks, the warmth of them making Izzy open his eyes and meet yours. Finally. You looked down at your, with love and worry and⌠fire. âNow, you listen here, Izzy Hands. I know, okay, I know it hurts. But itâs me, you can trust me. You have to trust me, Iz. Iâm here, Iâm here and I love you and Iâm not going to leave, even if you want me to. I am here, and so are you⌠and god damn it, itâs been forever since itâs been just the two of us. Weâre safe, weâre okay. Youâre okay. Youâre safe, I promise. Iâll take care of you, I just⌠I need you to let me. Let me take care of you, please.â
Izzy lets out a shuddering breath, his eyes never once leaving yours as he replays the words, âyouâre safe,â and âiâll take care of you.â that was supposed to be his job, he was supposed to say that to you. Yes, you were married and yes it was a promise you both made, but he was Izzy fucking Hands, he was supposed to be the protector.
âIzzy,â you stated again, your voice still gentle but firm. Izzyâs tired, teary eyes met yours. He looked so fragile, even more so as you placed your hand on his. âIâll take care of you,â you promised. Izzy whimpered, âyou shouldnât have to, its rotten work.â he all but whimpered, his face heavy and scrunched in pain. A part of your heart cracked upon hearing the words, because he sounded so defeated.
You shook your head, stroking his hand with your thumb. âNot to me,â you said with finality in your voice. ânot if itâs youâŚâ
Izzyâs eyes found yours once more, hating the way your voice cracked when you said that. The walls Izzy began to build up high were slowly but surely coming down, his reluctancy to let you aid him diminishing by the second. âokay,â he said softly, a ghost of a smile on his lips. A smile meet yours as well, âokay.â you nod, hand still in his as you raise it to your lips in a gentle kiss.
âWe will get through this, Izzy. I promise. I meant it when I said in sickness and health.â
âI know.â Izzy replied, âand you never break a promise.â

Would love to see your hcs for being in a relationship with Ed! PDA or ideas on how he and reader would spend time together, your choice!
(yessssss I love Ed so much and the OFMD brainrot is real! gonna do PDA headcanons if that's alright, hope you enjoy!)
(Ed/Blackbeard x gender neutral reader - no warnings, just fluff)
Ed is pretty affectionate with the people he cares about, especially when he's on the Revenge.
After all, who's going to protest? He's the most feared pirate on the seas so nobody has the guts to say anything (except maybe Izzy but Ed puts a stop to that fairly quick).
It seems like he always has a hand on you somewhere, normally just wherever is most convenient.
He's rarely seen with you without having a hand on your lower back, or an arm around your shoulders, or a hand on your thigh when you're sat together.
If you're holding hands, he likes to fidget with your fingers a lot and intersperses it with soft kisses pressed to your knuckles (he's a romantic after all).
He will also randomly pick you up when you're not expecting it just to hear your squeak of surprise, he thinks it's adorable.
(It's mostly to express his love for you but he'd be lying if he said he didn't like to show you off a bit.)
One of the things that brings you both the most comfort, however, is touching foreheads before one of you leaves. It started when Ed was about to go on a raid, and when you expressed your worry he gently pressed his forehead to yours in a silent promise that he'd come back safe. It's now become part of your routine, and neither of you will leave without it.
I will say this once, loudly for the people in the back: EDWARD TEACH LOVES HUGS FROM BEHIND. Both giving and receiving.
He loves wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his head on your shoulder, and he loves it even more if you're busy doing things because then he can watch you work. But he equally enjoys when you surprise him with hugs - it takes his mind off of the stress of being captain for a moment and makes him feel so genuinely wanted.
(basically Ed loves you more than life itself and wants to be near you all the time ok bye)

Noceur (n.) - to find comfort in the dark
Pairing: Izzy Hands x Reader
Summary: You'd reached the genius conclusion that you couldn't have nightmares if you simply didn't sleep. Izzy isn't a fan of your logic.
Word Count: 1.6k
a/n: Stede may be Edward's lighthouse but Izzy is Reader's anchor. Because I'm a sucker for symbolism.
You stood on the quarterdeck, arms crossed carefully over the rail. It wasn't often you experienced nights like this, quiet and peaceful; nights where you could look out over the water and feel certain that nothing was hiding under the waves or lurking in the fog.
The clouds that had rolled in from the east had swallowed up the moon and sent Buttons away in turn. Once he'd disappeared below deck it was just you and the sea. You could hear the waves kissing the hull beneath you, the wind occasionally rippling the sails. Each subtle creek and groan of the ship steadied your mind.
You matched your breathing with the coming and going of the waves, the salt of the sea air filling your lungs. You'd almost mastered it, using the sounds of the ocean and the way of water to ground yourself.
You were so focused, in fact, that you failed to hear the splintering of the deck beneath heavy footsteps until a hand had already reached out and brushed your shoulder.
The stranger may have found your yelp of fear somewhat amusing if it weren't immediately followed by the cocking of a loaded pistol.
You turned and were met by the bemused first mate.
âFuck, Izzyââ You lowered your weapon. âI told you I'd take the watch tonight.â
"Since when did I take orders from you?" the slight intimidation in his tone was discredited by the fond nudge of his shoulder against your own. He settled beside you, glancing out over the waves. He stood so close that your knees brushed and the floorboards groaned beneath your shared weight. You smiled despite yourself.
Only in the dark would Israel Hands allow himself be so soft. It was an odd sort of honor, you thought, to see him like this. You had shared enough night watches with the first mate to have been offered a glance beneath the sullen stares and stern hand. Spent enough hours in the dark together sitting in the crow's nest to have caught sight of his smile and see how it made him look ten years younger. On nights like those you could only be glad that the waters around Tortuga were generally quiet as you would have failed to see the entire Spanish armada if it were lined up in front of you. Izzy kept you steady, an anchor preventing you from cracking up on rocks of your own making.
You wished the crew knew him as you did but you were not one to tempt faith, especially not when it had already been so generous.
âWhat's going on with you?â Izzy asked eventually. The breathy tone of his voice seemed at one with the wind.
You shifted your weight. Behind you, the foresail beat faintly against the mast.
None of the crew had noticed yet. And if they had, they'd decided against saying anything. They stayed quiet as you agreed to the night watch night after night. And you were happy with that system, it was the easiest way to keep the nightmares at bay.
âI'm tired,â you said. It wasn't a lie.
Izzy hummed, an unconvincing sound that hung in the air between you. He glanced your way and when you still said nothing he reached for his pocket. The orange he produced was small, jagged scars running along its skin and already adopting a green hue.
You made a small noise of amusement.
Wordlessly, Izzy began to peel the fruit. He dug his thumb into its center and tore it in two clean halves before offering one to you.
It was somewhat of a tradition, Roach had prepared you rations for your night shifts but upon realizing that you were asking for larger portions solely to share with the first mate he'd stopped the service altogether. The chef's pettiness truly knew no bounds.
Izzy decided the next course of action was to just steal food from the kitchen instead. It was something he got oddly excited about; a feared pirate that pillaged dozens of merchant ships in his lifetime smiling like a young lad as he showed you the stale biscuits and ailing fruits he'd stolen from under the nose of your chef.
You accepted the orange with a small smile.
Izzy cleaned the citrus juice from his fingers with his tongue before tearing the fruit into segments, examining each before pushing one past his lips. Just like when running the ship, Izzy had a particular way of doing things. Vaguely or half-arsed wasn't his style.
As he ate, you traced the groves of the wood in front of you. The orange sat untouched in your palm.
âNightmares,â you said eventually. âThey keep me up most nights. Sometimes they're so bad I don't want to close my eyes so I figured if I just didn't sleep then...â
It was quiet for a moment, your confession growing stale the longer it hung in the air. You already wished you'd said nothing.
Izzy tossed the last of his fruit overboard.
âFor someone so clever, you can be a right fucking twat.â
You couldn't help but laugh. âAnd you're a pioneer in self-care all of a sudden? Being Blackbeard's lapdogââ
âWatch it.â Izzy's tone readopted a sharp edge. You stood with a resigned sigh, an undeserving crate earning a sharp clip of your boot as you turned.
âJust leave it, Iz. Forget I mentioned it,â you said. âI don't need you of all people lecturing me on how to look after myself.â
You made your way down the steps that led onto the main deck, ignoring how Izzy called after you. In your haste and frustration, and certainly no thanks to your lack of sleep, your boot missed the next step and you began a sudden descent toward the ground.
A hand grasped your shoulder and a harsh yank backward recentered your point of gravity.
âYou're a fucking wreck,â Izzy said, moving his hold to your forearm.
âI'm fine.â
âBullshit.â
You didn't look at him as you steadied yourself. Instead you aimed your focus on the splintered wood beneath your boots.
You missed Izzy's expression soften, as if he were finally seeing the true extent of your exhaustion. The dimness in your eyes, the poorly hidden fatigue, and the way you swayed on your feet when you didn't have a wooden rail to support you. You were coming apart at the seams.
âFuck,â Izzy cursed. âHow long has it been since you've slept?â
âThree days.â
âFuck,â Izzy cursed, again. This time with slightly more anger.
You waited for his ranting to begin, to be scorned like the rest of the crew and sent away like a misbehaved child. You wouldn't be surprised if he went to the captains first thing tomorrow and had your duties changed.
âCome on,â he said instead. His words were surprisingly faint. You let him lead you below deck, the dim glow of the ship's oil lamps doing little to light the way. The hand still hesitantly pressed to the small of your back was very possibly the only thing stopping you from keeling over.
Silently you walked through the gallery, past the sleeping crew and the hammock you left empty every night. When you didn't stop you offered the first mate a confused glance.
âIzzy, what-â
âJust-â he sighed. âKeep going.â
You eventually stopped in front of his own cabin and said nothing as he steered you inside and shut the door behind him.
âWhat are we doing?â The irritation was clear in your tone. The seventy odd hours without rest making your voice heavy.
Izzy loosened the handkerchief around his neck and kicked off his boots. âYou are going to lie down,â he said plainly. He grasped the small stool that sat idle in the corner and pulled it towards the bedside. âAnd I'm going to make sure you get some fucking rest.â
He sat down and crossed his arms. When you didn't move, he sighed again. âYou're not the only one. You don't live this life for so long and then get to sleep easy at night. It... it's just not how it works.â
At Izzy's words and what they implied, you caved. Wordlessly, you kicked off your boots, undid your belt, and removed your coat. It was as comfortable as you could get without undressing further. When you lay down on the mattress, you couldn't help the noise of contentment that escaped you. It was by no means the laps of luxury but having a somewhat soft base pillowed against your aching muscles was much nicer than what you were used to.
The fatigue washed over you in heavy waves and you were reminded of just how tired you were.
âIf I think it's a nightmare I'll wake you,â Izzy promised, his words were genuine.
âWhy are you doing all this, Izzy?â you asked. âI'm fairly certain if Lucius or Roach was having bad dreams you wouldn't invite them into your cabin and offer to play night guard.â
He shrugged. âYou're neither of those twats.â
Izzy's words were transparent. 'You're not them. You're you, and you're different.' You laid back in the bed.
The quaint silence that filled Izzy's cabin was similar to the deck during watch, the same safety net there, the same guarantee that nothing said or done would go any further than you, him, and the waves.
You parted your lips to speak. Izzy reached over and dimmed the oil lamp and the dark swallowed your words before they came.
âThank you, Iz.â You settled for instead. âI mean it.â
Izzy nodded. A quiet 'of course' accompanied the hesitant brush of his fingers against the back of your hand. In the dim light, Izzy was grateful you couldn't see how he looked at you as though you were the reason the sun rose every day.
Thank you for reading <3

Show Business (OFMD Drabble)
Stede Bonnet x GN!Reader / requests are open
Summary: Stede is teaching you a thing or two about piracy.
Fic type: fluff, semi-crack
OFMD: @catlynharper (send an ask to be added to a tag list!)
___ ___ ___ ___ ___
âItâs all in the wrist, see?â Stede says, demonstrating a rather dangerous-looking flick of the pistol in his hand. Heâs teaching you about the flare of dramatics needed when engaging in piracy.Â
Apparently, itâs mostly show business. Youâre not too sure about how true that actually is, but Stede is your captain, and youâve found itâs usually best to go along with whatever it is he has to say. Itâs not like heâs a ruthless bastard, anyway, so thereâs no harm in it if he wants to show you how to wave a gun around fancily.Â
âThe trick is to keep them looking where you want them to look,â Stede said conspiratorially. That much you agreed with. And it was true too, because with the way Stede was waving the gun about, it was hard to focus on anything else.Â
Particularly when various parts of your body passed through the sights of the barrel every few seconds as Stede prattled on.
Then, Stede shot the gun straight up into the air, narrowly missing the mast of the ship.Â
âPay attention,â he barked, and for a split second, you could understand from the other side what it felt like to be raided. Then his face softened again into a grin. âSee? All about the show of it.âÂ
You swallowed thickly, nodding. Sure, yeah, you were beginning to see the point he was making.Â
âRight, so a bit like this, then?â You asked, getting a better grip on your own pistol and flicking it to the side haphazardly. Stede tapped the muzzle of his loaded gun against his lip and you sucked in a horrified breath.Â
âYes, like that- maybe try it one more time with a little more pizzaz, what do you reckon?â Stede replied, thankfully removing the gun away from the general vicinity of his face.
âSure, if I donât have a heart attack first,â you muttered to yourself.Â
âEh?â Stede asked innocently, positioning your hand where he wanted it for your next attempt.Â
âNothing,â you sighed.

Iz Hands x a reader with sensory issues. Mostly with voice though, not much with texture and other things. Reader is a good fighter and shit, much like Blackbeard, but just can't stand the constant yelling and noise. I just feel like it'd be interesting to explore that. Izzy noticing reader flinching or covering their ears when he yells and feeling bad. He wants to help but doesn't know how. Maybe they talk and Izzy realizes how much the noise effects them and is sort of like "How the fuck did you captain a ship before then" but later tries to make them or get the crew to make them something to block out noise. Sort of the 1700s equivalent to noise cancelling headphones.
Quiet
Ship: Izzy Hands x Reader (implied romantic but vague enough to be platonic) Notes: Youâre a well known pirate and friend of Edâs, eager to be along for the ride with this strange new world of his. You're skilled enough that when you suddenly react strangely to Izzy yelling at you. He decides to investigate and then help. Warnings: some descriptions of sensory overload, Izzy being bad at comfort (heâs trying)
Honesty, youâd been doomed to this fate the moment you were on a ship with Izzy yells-as-a-hobby Hands. The only reason it hadnât happened already was purely luck. But your luck could only last so long. Â
Youâd had sensitive hearing your whole life. In all honesty, it was an asset as much as it was a hindrance. After all, no one had been able to sneak up on you. But most times it was a problem. You never knew why but occasionally sound just became unbearable. Voices in particular. Sometimes hearing someone yell felt like taking a point blank cannon blast to the head. Usually you could pretend that none of it bothered you. You had developed an art to hiding your flinches and holding back your reactions during your long and successful pirating career.Â
But you couldnât always manage that. And currently, you were having an incredibly hard time.
It probably wasnât actually Izzy that pushed you over the edge. Well, at least not only Izzy. The crewâd had a party the night before to celebrate a really good raid. That alone was a lot.Â
And now Izzy was yelling as usual. Your brain was so busy screaming about how loud it was you actually had no idea what he was actually complaining about. Each syllable grated on your mind. You were as tense as a bowstring trying incredibly hard to focus on anything but the sound to no avail. Your hands almost trembled so you let go of the rigging you were trying to redo to try and calm the shaking.Â
Everything was so damn loud.
You closed your eyes and tried to focus. No dice. You had to get out of here.Â
LoudâŚ
Maybe you could make up a reason? Maybe you could say you were hungover from last night's party? Or maybe you just werenât feeling well? Though, both of those excuses were liable to get you yelled at by Izzy Hands for slacking off⌠Shit.
Loud.
Maybe you could escape to the stores? When had anyone done inventory last? Or you could climb up to the crows nest? That might be quieter? Maybe-
If you were not as overwhelmed as you were, you would have definitely heard someone getting closer but now, you only realized when a hand grabbed your arm and spun you around. The suddenness of the action did not help your racing mind. Neither did the fact that Izzy Fucking Hands was currently yelling in your face. Your long suffering composure finally broke and you flinched back, clasping your hands over your ears and pulling away. You felt your back hit the railing and your shoulders shaking from gasping.Â
Quiet.
Everything was suddenly quiet.
More so than it would be if you had properly covered your ears. Something was up. You peeked your eyes open and saw the whole crew staring at you, dead quiet. Even Izzy, shockingly, had backed up, looking confused at you.
Shit.
âI-â You managed. âUh.â You fumbled for words, hands still clasped over your ears. âIâm gonna just go⌠Yeah.â While everyone was still stunned you booked it, pulling one hand off one of your ears just long enough to open a door and disappear below decks, found a quiet corner and curled up in it. You tried to steady your breathing, hands still covering your ears.
Slowly but surely your mind calmed down. You kept your hands where they were but you were feeling a little less like your head was being ripped in half and your brain finally managed to reboot. You groaned. It had been ages since the last time you slipped up this badly in front of people. At least that time you'd been able to write it off as a symptom of blood loss on account of the hole in your side. This time? This time, you had no excuse. (Maybe you could go with the âpretend to be hungoverâ plan and just deal with Izzyâs lecture laterâŚ)
Izzy wasnât able to sneak up on you this time since you werenât completely out of it. The moment the storeroom door opened you looked over. The moment you noticed him you dropped one of your hands into your lap, trying to play it off like you were leaning your head on the other one. âWhat do you want?â You tried to imbue your voice with some âIâm the captain and you have to listen to meâ energy you usually managed to have but not this time. Your voice came as an exhausted whisper.
Izzy looked very odd, lingering at the door like a nervous shadow. âI-â He started at a slightly louder than speaking noise and you jumped ( your body having apparently completely given up on the fight to stay unnoticed). âIâm sorry⌠I think.â He finished in a stage whisper.
You raised a brow, both from the strangeness of Izzy being so considerate and the strange phrasing. âYou think youâre sorry?â You echoed.
âThe boy, Spriggs, said I should apologize.â Izzy elaborated. âThough Iâm not sure what for.â A pause. Izzy glanced around and gently closed the door behind him. âI didnât mean to upset you.â
Your confusion only intensified. This was very odd for him. Sure the apology was stilted and awkward but it seemed genuine. Izzy Hands genuinely apologizing to you⌠You never thought youâd see the day⌠He visibly fumbled for more words so you decided to put him out of his misery. âYou donât need to apologize. You didnât do anything wrong.âÂ
âLook, Iâll tell everyone that you apologized and everythingâs all fine. You don't have to do this. I officially accept your not-really-apology for whatever you said.â You commented, chuckling weakly. âYouâre free to ditch me.â
âYou donât know what I said?â Izzy looked genuinely baffled.
You shook your head, pulling both hands away from your ears and letting them fall into your lap. âNot a clue. I couldnât hear you.â
Izzy tilted his head. The gesture looked so odd on him. âIs there something wrong with your ears? Should I get the doctor?â
âNo, no. Nothingâs wrong⌠Well, if there is something wrong itâs been like that my whole lifeâŚâ Izzy only looked more confused. You considered for a moment. Eh, fuck it. Might as well⌠âItâs just a thing that happens with me. Sometimes sounds are justâŚâ You motioned vaguely with your hands. âToo loud. Just the yelling and all the noise makes it hard to think.â
âYou canât handle noise?â Izzy asked, still looking disbelieving. You nodded. âThen how the fuck did you captain a ship?â He was clearly still making an attempt to be quiet so his words came out as more of a hiss than a yell.
You shrugged. âI got good at pretending it didnât bother me. When I was a captain, I could stay in my cabin and avoid most of the noise. Canât exactly do that anymore, can I?â
âPretending? So it always bothers you?âÂ
You nodded. âYup. Sometimes itâs just too much. With yesterdayâs raid and the party⌠I guess it was a bit much for me. Everything was just too loud. Pretty pathetic huh?â You laughed lightly at yourself. Of course Izzy was going to have a fit over you ditching work for something so stupid.
âImpressive actually.â Izzy stated bluntlyÂ
You did a double take. âWhat?â If it was supposed to be sarcastic then it was delivered wrong.Â
Izzy seemed surprised at your surprise. âWhat? You work through all that.â You werenât convinced. Izzy sighed. âYou work on a ship full of idiots who wonât do their damn jobs even if you served it to them on one of Bonnetâs stupid fancy plates, and you work through all that shit?â
You couldnât help the smile. âWas that a compliment you just gave me?â You chuckled. âWho are you and what have you done with Izzy?â
The man rolled his eyes. âOh fuck off.â His voice was still soft. âDoes anyone know?â
You shook your head. âNope. Itâs too easy to exploit in a fight. Don't want to risk it.â
âNot even Ed?â
âNo, I think he knows thereâs something with me and sound. Heâs observant enough but I never told him.â Sure you and Ed had been kind of friends before, for a long time too but before the Revenge, the idea of being allowed to be that vulnerable (even around someone you trusted with your life) felt wrong. Izzy seemed weirdly stoic for a moment. You wondered how he felt, knowing a secret his captain didnât. âYou can tell him if youâd like. Iâm not going to ask you to keep a secret from your captain.â You knew how Izzyâs loyalties lied between you and Ed, but you still didnât want to put Izzy in an uncomfortable situation because of your screw up.
A moment passed in comfortable silence and you stretched and stood. âWell, back to itâŚâ Izzy held up a hand to stop you from leaving. âWhat?â
âYouâre taking the rest of the day off.â You could tell he meant it as an order even though his voice was still soft.Â
âNo, no. I can get back to work.â He stared. âSeriously Iâm fine. Iâve worked through this sort of thing before.â
Izzy huffed and for a moment you thought he was going to back down but instead. âTake the day off. Thatâs an order from your first mate.â
You sighed. You werenât winning this. âYou got it, first mate Hands. Donât hesitate to get me if anything comes up.â He nodded curtly but you doubted heâd get you for anything short of an emergency. You walked out into the hall towards your cabin. âAlso, thank you.â You called over your shoulder. âIt was nice of you to come by to check on me, even if it was under duress.âÂ
âI will take your break back.â Izzy grumbled but you knew it was an empty threat. Heâd had to convince you to take the break after all.Â
You chuckled. âSee you around!â
The day after what you were mentally calling âthe incident â you came on deck to find nothing unusual. It was quiet, as it usually was. Even back when you were a captain, you always came up on deck early. It was calm and you could get a lot of work done. You waved at Izzy when you came on deck. He returned the wave (after looking behind himself as if he assumed you were waving to someone else).
As the day continued the crew slowly trickled awake. Quite a few people asked if you were âfeeling betterâ. Apparently, Izzy had told everyone youâd had a headache (Sans Ed of course, you caught the slightly concerned looks he gave so, you gave him a thumbs up in return). As soon as the crew was on deck you were already bracing yourself for more yelling. It didnât take long for someone to piss Izzy off enough. You could see Izzy gearing up for a yelling match while Wee John and Frenchie seemed unimpressed and you were already mentally preparing for the sound.Â
It didnât come.
You heard Izzy instead hiss out a cold âWait.â at barely above a whisper. Whether it was the unusualness of it all or the serious tone of his voice, they listened. Izzy quickly made his way across the deck to stand at your side. You raised a brow in silent confusion. âCover your ears.â He mumbled, clearly making an attempt to be quiet. It was strange but you humored him, curious as to what was going on.
As soon as your hands were covering your ears Izzy went back to where he was standing and (after confirming one last time that you had your ears covered) went straight into yelling.Â
Huh.
You assumed he'd drop it after a bit. He was just giving you time to recover. That didnât happen. Instead it became a part of Izzyâs usual routine. When he was going to start yelling, he'd always let you know, at first he had to run up to you, then later all it took was a glance. The heads up did help quite a bit.Â
Of course you couldnât always cover your ears. Whenever you had your hands full and couldnât do what the two of you usually did, Izzy would instead switch to whispering his threats, grabbing whoever he was talking to and pulling them close.
âThey respond better to it as well.â Izzy confided to you one morning, both of you leaning against the railing, drinking coffee and relaxing after a successful raid..Â
You grinned. âIâve used that strategy for ages. Youâd be surprised how intimidating whispering can be.â
Izzy chuckled lightly. After that he stayed quiet for a long moment. You raised a brow. You could tell he was trying to figure out how to bring something up. You decided to stay quiet and let him organize his thoughts.
You were rewarded for your patience by a jumpscare as Izzy just awkwardly shoved something into your arms. You looked down to see you were holding a box? You looked back at him and raised a brow. âItâs a very nice boxâŚâ You commented somewhat cheekily.
Izzy was doing a really good job at not looking at you. His face even looked a little flushed. âPiss off. Just open the damn box before I toss it into the damn ocean.â He mumbled. His tone was nowhere near as harsh as usual.Â
You smiled, gently opening the box. Inside were a bunch of small pieces of⌠You picked one up. It was malleable in your hand. Wax. It was some kind of wax.Â
âThey're earplugs. Apparently theyâre for your ears.â Izzy stated bluntly, answering your unasked question.
âIn what way?â
Izzy sighed, seemingly unsure of himself. âYou put them in your ears. Got them on the raid. Had a very well stocked clinic.â You nodded, you remembered Roach being excited about it all. âWilling to bet half of that shit was some kind of experimental treatment. Not even Bonnet knew all of them so itâs not just fancy. Saw the surgeonâs log. Apparently theyâre designed to protect a soldier's ears when theyâre fighting.â
âAnd you grabbed these for me?â You asked, already smiling, you pulled two pieces out and pocketed the box.
Izzy flushed more. âI- WellâŚI thought theyâd be most useful to you. SoâŚâ
âThank you.â You placed a hand on his shoulder, you felt the flinch even as he tried to play it off. You immediately moved to pull away but Izzy moved his arm slightly as if to follow so you left your hand there. Youâd been working the wax in your hand so it was already soft enough to try. You gently placed one into your ear, switching the hand on Izzyâs shoulder to put in the other.Â
It actually⌠Kind of worked.
âI think they work⌠Izzy, could you yell for a bit.â Izzy chuckled at the request but he did step back a bit and shout. You could hear him well enough that you knew he was calling your name but the sound wasnât overpowering like it normally was.
âHoly shit.â You whispered.Â
Izzy was quick to rush to your side. âAre you alright? Did it work? I-â
You cut him off by placing a hand on both his shoulders and pulling him into a hug. He fumbled for a moment then shivered but clung to you almost desperately.
âThank you Izzy. Seriously. It means a lot to me.â You whispered.
As close as you were, you could hear Izzyâs soft, âOf course. Iâm glad they help you.âÂ
You had a few minutes before the crew would come on deck. So you closed your eyes, enjoyed the quiet and stayed where you were until then.

Waking Up Beside The Two Of You
Edward Teach x Reader x Stede Bonnet
Summary - The Reader wakes up in the arms of their boyfriends.
Warnings - nothing, I think, just fluff
Word Count - 439
A/n - Gender Neutral Reader. Not Requested.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A calming purple cloud swam around your head as you rode on the back of a dolphin through the sky. You were dreaming, you knew that, but you didnât want this fantastical fiction to end. Though, you did wonder what was going on around your sleep-ridden form.Â
A few voices drifted in and out of your ears. It was Ed and Stede. You could tell that it was them even in your dreamy state. Conversations about pirates and plans were being had by the voices, causing the dreamworld you were in to shift to a fanciful version of the pirate life. Just you, Stede and Ed sailing a flying ship through the purple clouds. Occasionally, one of you would pull the other into each other's arms and dance and kiss on the deck while sailing to your next adventure.Â
Some sunspots began to shine through your dream and some of your partnerâs conversations began to echo in your mind more clearly. You knew that you were beginning to wake up now.Â
âWhat if we created a multi-barrel cannon? Multiple barrels for multiple shots meaning more damage.â Ed gestured.Â
âRevolutionary!â Stede whisper-shouted slightly louder than he and Ed had wished.
âShush! Donât wake them up, man!â
Despite Edâs statement, you stirred. Most of your dream world disappeared into the darkness, but the images of your boyfriends remained in your mind. With your eyes still closed, your arms stretched out into the air, and you felt a hand on each arm caressing your skin.
âGood morning, dear.â Stede welcomed you as soon as you opened your eyes.
âMorninâ, love!â Ed winked at you before continuing to speak.
âFinally joined us in the world of the awakened, I see.â
âGood morning Blackbeard and The Gentleman Pirate.â You often teased them with their pirate names, especially as cheeky morning hellos and nighttime goodnights.
âDid you sleep well?â Stede asked genuinely.
âI had very interesting and pleasant dreams. What about you two?â
âWe were just planning out some brand new weapons.â Stede was very excited, more than usual one might argue.
âWell ⌠I donât know if itâs new, but it will scare the life outta our enemies, Iâd say!âÂ
âYou must tell me what you are planning!âÂ
âAfter breakfast you two. We have to be all ship shape ⌠ahhhh ⌠before we get to the pirating.â Stede lept out of bed excitedly while you and Ed shared a jokingly-annoyed look about Stedeâs horrible pun. The three of you, once fully out of bed, then ventured over to Stedeâs secret wardrobe in order to get dressed before enjoying your breakfast and morning together.Â

Izzy Hands x reader fanfic where the reader courts him by sending anonymous love letters.
Izzy Hands x Reader
words: 2760
google docs pages: 4,5
warnings: Oddly enough for something Iâve written, none! Is this lowkey corny though? Yes, maybe that needs a warning of its own.Â
opening: Your desperate earlier attempts at courting the first mate of Blackbeardâs had gone unnoticed, so you resort to writing love letters. Maybe heâd realise if it was laid flat in front of his eyes.Â
AN// Reader can be any gender! Itâs been a good while since Iâve written anything fluff-like, so apologies if that affected the quality of this :âD! Requests are still open <3! (please someone request something sword-fight related, or Iâll have to think of something myself)
 âNot worth your timeâ
How many attempts would it take for him to realise what you were trying to say? How did he not notice even when you thought you couldnât get any more obvious? Or was he just on purpose ignoring you? Were thoughts that had been on your mind for a long time now.
Izzy Hands, the first mate of Blackbeard's, was either too focused on his work and just didnât realise or was ignoring your confessions on purpose. Of which you hoped wasn't the latter. For the past few weeks you had tried almost everything you could have thought of, not counting in just telling him how you felt. The only reason why that card hadnât been used yet was because you didnât know if he cared for you in the same way. You wouldnât be able to bear the heartbreak of confessing to him and being rejected would cause. Not to even mention having to be on the same ship with him after, youâd rather take a jolly boat and leave at that point. So you had resorted to hinting your feelings for him through actions, which had proven to be unsuccessful.Â
As long as youâd known the man, he had never been too good at expressing his feelings. If he was upset, he might have said something about it to you and then disappear for a moment to resolve whatever was going on in his mind. Never had you seen him cry, but you expected he was just the kind of person to cry whenever he was alone. But even when he was happy, heâd show it through very small actions, sometimes not even his expression changing. You werenât even sure if the man had ever been in love. Maybe he just didnât know how to express that either? Or perhaps that was you hoping the earlier attempts of getting him to realise how you felt hadnât been for nothing.Â
Either way, it was clear youâd chosen a man who was harder to read than a map drawn by a toddler. He hadnât and seemingly wasnât going to notice you flirting with him, but maybe something else would work. Flirting had never been your strong suit anyway, youâd always been much more skilled with written down words. It was easier to think of what to say and carefully choose the right words, which you couldnât do while spending time with the first mate. And perhaps you could blame yourself even for the bad success, knowing your flirting and how it usually played out. So your plan was clear. To start writing anonymous love letters to him, and slowly make it as obvious as possible.Â
To be quite honest, you werenât so sure if the man even knew how to read. Though, surely for one to become a first mate they had to know how to read, right? Or maybe that was just your last hope speaking. Youâd seen first mates get chosen and there wasnât a job application that came first. The person who was thought out to be the most experienced with piracy was chosen ultimately over the skill of literacy. Though, Stede appreciated the skill understandably more than the seadogs youâd sailed with for most of the time.Â
Literacy had been the reason why you and Lucius started talking as well. Youâd started to take turns writing notes for Stede after you had gained his trust. Due to this new formed relationship with the man, you would sometimes talk to him about Izzy. From what you collected, Lucius wasnât the biggest fan of him, understandably. But Lucius hadnât been against you trying to court the man either, heâd even encouraged you to write the letters. Perhaps he was hoping youâd succeed and manage to change Izzy for the better somehow. But that was thinking too far ahead.Â
Firstly you had to figure out what to write in the first letter. It ended up not being anything too obvious, but you made sure to put an emphasis on the parts where you mentioned admiring his seamanship skills. Not leaving a signature or anything that could retrace the letter back to you, you folded it nicely and sneaked it to his quarters by sliding it under his door. It was only at that point that you truly realised how silly this was for an adult to do. Though, you forgave yourself for the sake of this being the last trick you had up your sleeve.Â
The evening passed quickly, night cooling down the air and bringing a slight fog with it to hug the vessel sailing across the water gently. Youâd taken the lookout shift for tonight, knowing you wouldn't have been able to sleep. It also gave you time to write the second letter, knowing there was almost never any activity on the sea in a weather like this. It was going to be a calm night.
You sat down in the crowsnest, leaning over slightly as your pencil danced on the small piece of paper. The contents of the letter may have been more flirty than intended because of your sleep deprived mind, but you scrapped none of it. Letting your thoughts run as they pleased, the second letter was finished with a small heart as a signature at the bottom. You folded it nicely like the first letter, using a drop of wax from the candle you had up in the crowsnest to seal the paper.Â
The sky began to change colour when the sun decided to make its return. You climbed down, back on the main deck. Youâd walk by Izzyâs door before going to sleep and slip the letter under his door like before. Most of the crew was still asleep, it only being the very early hours of the morning. Pure luck for you, since no one would notice you sneaking around like this.Â
Izzy was one to wake up rather early, so you didnât dare to make any noise. At times it felt like you were holding your breath just in case that would alert him, though thinking about it after, it sounded silly. But nevertheless, youâd gotten the letter delivered and made an escape for it. All the way to one of the free hammocks where you got comfy and fell asleep rather quickly.Â
After that you took a break from writing the letters. Not a long one, but you had to think the third letter through more thoroughly. Youâd sat down with Lucius, and chatted with him about it. As far as Izzy knew, the two of you were the only ones who could write and practised it actively. So the first mate didnât have many options on who could have been writing the letters. âLucius, I need to ask something from you.â You started, knowing he might just do this for you. The âmhm?â he gave was all you needed as a sign to explain further. âGive the third letter to him.â You said quickly, biting your inner lip. The plan was to ask Lucius to give the letter, and when Izzy would eventually realise it wasnât written by Lucius, he wouldnât have many options left. Lucius stared at you for a moment before a faint smirk formed on his face. âAlright.â He said, raising his eyebrows in a knowing manner. It seemed he didnât need a further explanation, the plan being clear to him.
After the conversation, you got to writing. This letter was more bold, more straight forward. You allowed your handwriting to differ more clearly from Luciusâ, making it more obvious it wasnât from the other man. Half way through writing, you leaned back on the chair. Was this even going to work? You had continued talking to Izzy after the first two, but he didnât seem like he was even trying to figure out who was sending the letters. Or maybe youâd just missed his eyes wandering across the deck when he thought no one was looking, desperate to find whoâd written words like that of him. Who in the crew would ever think of such things of someone like him?
You shook your head, resuming back to the letter. Writing the third one took the longest, only because it had all your thoughts in it. A proper confession with an âI love youâ at the end. You thought of signing this one, but then decided against it. He was witty enough to figure out it was you based on the letter, and if he felt the same heâd come looking for you. Hopefully.
That same evening you delivered the letter to Lucius, almost scared to let go of it. With a swift wink Lucius took it, and promised to give it to the first mate just before the crew usually went to rest. That way youâd be up in the crowsnest, the look-out shift taken by you yet again, and you could get some fresh air before having to face the first mate.Â
Time passed, the tension within your body building up. With stiff steps you got up to the crowsnest and slid against the mast to sit down. A deep breath. Lucius would have given Izzy the letter around this time. There was no turning back now, but there was also still that part of you that didnât even want to. Youâd waited for long enough, and this was like ripping off a bandaid, only you didnât know what the damage under would be. If any.Â
Lucius had found Izzy, handing the letter to the man with that same amused grin on his face which he had tried to hide. âWhat is this?â Izzy asked, furrowing his brows slightly as he accepted the piece of paper. âHave you-?â He was about to add, but Lucius was already turning away to leave. âThat is for you to figure out.â He said, before leaving Izzy alone with his thoughts and the letter. His eyes stared blankly at the folded paper, carefully opening it for reading.Â
The first mateâs eyes scanned through the words, his free hand going slightly over his mouth. This letter had far more passion in it than the other two mysterious letters heâd received. But yet it was written tenderly with care, still anonymous. Lucius had been such an asshole about revealing who it was. Of course he had thought it must have been Lucius playing with him from the start, but after the second letter it had gotten far too advanced to be just a crude joke anymore, he hoped. But there werenât many literate men on the ship.
Izzy took the time to find Stedeâs diary in his hands, scrolling through it just enough to be able to compare the two handwritings together. He knew you and Lucus took turns writing notes for Stede, and to his luck he was able to match the styles. Luciusâ handwriting looked different from the one used in the letter, but the other style in the diary matched the one in the letterâs almost perfectly. It was you, had been this whole time.
Izzy slammed the book shut, folding the letter into his pocket and making his way to the main deck where he knew you were. Just today heâd told you to skip and leave the shift for him, but you'd strongly insisted against it, saying you didnât feel tired due to the full moon. Heâd wanted to ask what you were talking about, the time of the moon being full still at minimum a week away, but you had left before he was able to. But now he knew why youâd left so abruptly.Â
Izzy appeared on the main deck, gaze searching for you. The deck itself was empty, it wasnât yet so dark that he couldnât see as much. The sky was clear of clouds, no fog in sight. No lookout in this weather would be on deck, you must have been in the crowsnest. His gaze travelled up, seeing the faint light of a candle up in the mast. âAye!â He called out, voice keyed up. He hadnât even thought of what to say, just wanting to know why you thought such things of him, still in the belief it must have been a bad joke being played on him.Â
Izzyâs voice made your heart skip a beat, making you tense. Heâd figured it out, of course he had. You swallowed, finding your mouth dry and jaw tense. âYeah?â You called back, frozen in place. It didnât take long for the man to reply. âCome on down here!â Another hard swallow. You should have just jumped over the gunwale earlier or left on a jolly boat, this was terrifying. âIn a moment!â Your voice wavered as you got up and started climbing down, through the lubberâs hole, towards the main deck.Â
It felt like the wooden flooring was lava as you stepped on it, finding Izzy standing there. The faint light of a singular lantern giving some light in the otherwise dark environment. You felt like running away as Izzy pulled the latest letter from his pocket. âDid you..write these?â He asked, breaking the silence which had been creeping its way between the two of you. You hadnât even realised the force youâd been biting your inner lip at, before now. âI- Yes.â Your voice betrayed you yet again, the words coming out shaky. Almost like you thought you were in trouble? âSo Lucius is off the hook.â Izzy said, the words not making you feel any better. âSo Iâm still- on the hook?â You asked, a light joke in an attempt to make the nervous sweat back down. âYou could say so.â He put the letter back into his pocket. âSurely you donât fucking think of me in that way?â The first mate added, the tone of his voice giving you the impression of him thinking you were tricking him.Â
You wanted to reach out to him, to somehow tell him that you were speaking the truth, but your mouth was still dry. All words that were so beautifully written on the paper, now somehow gone, disappeared into thin air. Or in this case thick air, you felt like you couldnât bloody breathe. âIzzy, I meant every word.â You said, voice almost so silent you feared it might have gotten lost in the light wind. Though, in truth there only being a catâs paw on the water. Izzyâs eyes snapped on you, almost dropping the cigarette heâd been about to light. âYou-â He started, but you wanted not to hear the things the man thought of himself. âYes, I love you, you moron.â You allowed yourself to say, taking an awkward step closer to him. âDear, Iâm not worth your timeâŚâ He started yet again, which you wanted so desperately to end. He did not see the things you saw in him. âShut up, please.â You took the cigarette from his hand, daring to look into his eyes, your gaze searching for his answer. Did he feel the same?Â
Izzy must have seen the question marks in your eyes, as his expression softened to one of slight worry. âPlease, donât do this to me.â He said, his hand rising but not quite sure what he should do. âSay it.â You pleaded, eyes glued on his. âI do, more than I should. I love youâ You bit back a relieved smile, gently placing your free hand on his collar. He didnât pull away, rather leaned in which you took as a yes to kissing him. It didnât last long, the tension of it making you pull away slowly, but not far. His face left with a mix of emotions, of which most he didnât know how to express. You smiled, turning to light the cigarette with the flame of the lantern. You took a quick drag from it before placing it near the manâs lips. He raised his hand enough to take a hold of the cigarette, mouth left softly agape. âI love you-â He said, voice lost, like he had to repeat the phrase just to make it sound real to himself. You wanted to reply, but a wave hit the bow of the ship. You wouldn't have otherwise reacted, but the moment had caught you off guard, just like the wave. It swayed the ship softly, pushing you against him. There was no real danger of tumbling over, but the first mate still placed his free hand swiftly behind your back, looking rather awkward after. âI know.â You smiled, now knowing saying that was true. Finally you knew he cared for you too, knew that heâd realised how you felt.
AN// It's yet again 4am when I proof read this, so if there are any mistakes I apologise for that!

izzy hands sfw headcanons part 1
a/n: i was gonna make one post with all the headcanons, then i was gonna split nsfw from sfw, and now i had to split the sfw because it's too big. part 2 here. part 3 here. im losing it
repressed little angry man with his repressed little feelings
his loyalty is yours. privately, yes, but yours. he'd put himself between anything and anyone for you
he carves wooden things for you, sea animals, boats and anything else you mention you like. he might give it to you directly or just leave it in your things
when you thank him, he either calls you twat and tells you to fuck off or just nods his head with a little smile on his face
if you ask him to, he'll sing for you, and blush while doing it
it also becomes a habit between the two of you to sing together in the privacy of his cabin, slowdancing with the melody
he also sings sometimes to wake you up because he knows you like his raspy voice
fuuuuuuck his raspy voice. gets raspier in the mornings, and it never fails to make your knees buckle. because he knows that, it's not unusual for him to sneak behind you to whisper nonsense in your ear
praises you for anything you do, even things unrelated to piracy. you make a good knot? "that's very good". you manage to cook a half decent egg? "it's perfect, love". you style his hair in a different way for fun? "i've never looked so good. that's all you, dear"
he starts wearing fingerless gloves to feel your skin against his at all times
physical touch is mandatory and something he craves constantly, specially when you're in his line of sight
sometimes you think he's purring when you give him any kind of physical affection, but that's only a theory that you keep private
his pda evolves around kissing your hand while being flirty
big attatchment issues. as in he'll freak out a little if he doesn't know where you are
he's always worrying about you, in what he believes is a subtle manner. in front of the crew, he pretends he's going to chastise you in private, when in reality he's just asking you if you need anything or if you're tired
likes to boss you around for funsies, but if you'd rather sit still and look pretty for him, he's happy to ignore the rest of the crew's protests at your special treatment
likes to teach you things around the ship just to be close to you and feel pride at how fast you're learning (praise him for being a good teacher, you might make him blush).
might slap you in the ass if you do a good job and no one is around to tease him
he's always baffled by how much you want him, and not just in the physical sense. when he sees how much you're working for the relationship to function, how much effort you put into making him happy, he's at a loss of words
he's worried that you were going to be put-off by his violence, but when you welcome it as just another lovable part of him, he knows you're the one
if you use violence for him (to protect or defend), he'll have to use every fiber of his being to hold back tears. having people care for him is a new experience, and it becomes overwhelming
he's incredibly funny when he wants to, and not just when he's bitching about the crew. just funny
will do anything to make you smile or laugh at him. it's not uncommon to see him joining in on the crew's shenanigans just to see you happy
when he's sad he'll go quiet, sad puppy eyes looking defeated, and it's very likely he'll lash out on the crew
he cries a lot, violently, his sobs go through his whole body and he shakes so much you thought he had a cold the first time it happened
when you wipe away his tears and just hold him close, he almost believes he deserves to be loved
he fusses a lot when you try to comfort him, wiggling away from your grasp and telling you to fuck off, before melting into you and breaking down in your arms
it's very difficult for him to accept these kinds of things, so praise him while you're at it, give him positive reinforcement and he'll get used to the comfort you provide him
his smiles light up the world, but you can't tell him that otherwise he'll hold himself back. unless you're both alone, in his cabin, huddled together and he smiles at you, you trace the wrinkles around his eyes and mouth and just whisper "you're fucking beautiful", he'll blush and bury his face on your hands, a low rumble on his chest

ASMR | Our Flag Means Death - Izzy Hands x Listener - Teasing Izzy Until He Snaps
[M4A] [Romantic confessions] [Teasing] [Flirting] [Izzy being the arsehole that he is] [Kissing] [Getting together]
I TRIED WITH THE VOICE OKAY, HIS VOICE IS SO SPECIFIC AND HARD TO DO. So okay I know the voice isn't perfect but it's the best I can do. Ages ago when I made the Ed Teach audio a few people asked for Izzy and I'd thought his voice is too specific and distinctive for me to attempt it... Then last night I remembered I made the Ed audio, thought okay let's try and attempt the voice as a short test like I'll just try a couple lines... Which um... Well I sort of kept talking and now this audio is here. Anyone want more of this baby girl? .
Custom audio commissions are open! Full spicy audios on sound gasm and Patreon. Downloadable versions, exclusive  spicy audios and Discord on Patreon. I also stream on Twitch 3 times a week @ dervampireprince . [minors + ageless blogs dni. this blog is for 18+ only.] [do not repost/reupload/edit my audios and videos]

Two Sides of the Same Coin | Lucius Spriggs
MASTERLISTÂ |Â AO3Â | KO-FI
Requested by: @sherazyjadeâ
Hello! First, I want to say I love your personality. I read your introduction, and I just think you're great. :p
If you don't mind writing it, I'd love to read an one-shot with Lucius x Nonbinary!Reader. I imagined they could have a best friend kind of relationship, which would slip into a romantic one - with Lucius staying poly, of course! ^.^
Thank you in advance, and thank you for your writing, I love your style and art! ^^
Relationship(s): Lucius Spriggs x nonbinary!reader (romantic), Lucius Spriggs x Black Pete (romantic), Black Pete x nonbinary!reader (platonic), Edward Teach/Blackbeard x Stede Bonnet (romantic; mentioned)
Summary:Â A series of vignettes that show the progression of your relationship with Lucius.
Warnings: Alcohol consumption, mentioned gambling, reference to nausea and vomiting. (Let me know if I need to add any)
Word count: 0.8k
(A/N: I wrote this in a similar style to my Frenchie fic âI Willâ, where it has a similar word count to a one-shot, but would be best described as a series of vignettes. Hopefully this is alright! Thank you for giving me a massive ego boost with that ask, by the way. You guys need to send me more asks that compliment my wonderful personality. Everyone bangs on about how great my writing is (youâre not wrong; keep those asks, comments and reblogs coming) but not enough people tell me how Iâm a(n) [insert flattering adjective] person. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this, @sherazyjadeâ!)
"Iâll admit theyâre incredibly cute together, but I canât say Iâm a big fan of spending most of my day third wheeling them.â
You glanced up at Lucius as he took a seat beside you on the steps leading to the quarterdeck. A smirk tugged at your lips.
âI take it youâve been relieved of your duties for the night?â
âNot exactly.â He rested his head on your shoulder. âIâm pretty sure they forgot I was there, so I sort of... slipped out.â
You chuckled and rested your head on top of his.
âAw, poor Luci.â you cooed teasingly, wrapping an arm around him. âHopefully Stedeâll become so invested in Ed that heâll forget you exist and you'll be able to retire for good.â
âI can only dream.â he sighed faux-wistfully. âSo, what did I miss?â
âIzzy sent Pete, Wee John and Roach to the brig for not doing their work.â
His brows knitted and he looked up at you, his head still on your shoulder.
âWe have a brig?â
âWe do now.â you answered. âIâm pretty sure itâs just one of the rooms below deck, with the added security measure of Ivan standing guard."
Snickering, he glanced around the deck.
âWhereâs The Spewer now, then?â
âSeething in his room, Iâm guessing.â you shrugged, eliciting a grin from Lucius. You glanced down at him. âFancy trying to rescue your boyfriend and his fellow inmates? No one can resist a knight in shining armour.â
âYou just want to get Roach out in case youâre the one who gets stuck with the cooking, donât you?â
âMaybe.â
âAlright.â Lucius agreed, rising to his feet. You did the same and seized his arm.
âLetâs go get your boyfriend, and Roach.â you declared enthusiastically, leading Lucius below deck. âAnd, Wee John if we can.â
Lucius chuckled and shook his head.
âââââââââ
It had been at least an hour since Captain Bonnet had finished reading to the crew, if Lucius (seemingly the only one on the main deck who was still awake) had to guess. For all he knew, it could have been 10 minutes. Sandwiched between you and Wee John, he stared up at the crescent moon that hung overhead. It would have been a nice, tranquil moment, were it not for the chorus of snores.
Lucius glanced over as you rolled over in your sleep. With a content hum, you wrapped your arms around his waist and rested your chin on his shoulder.
He smiled to himself and rested his head on top of yours. Careful not to wake you, he moved his arm and draped it around you, then reached up to play with your hair.
His eyelids became heavier. The final thought that popped into his mind before he drifted off to sleep was that he couldnât wait to tease you about cuddling up to him again.
âââââââââ
Much to the delight of most of the crew, the ship was docked at the port of a pirate-friendly area, and you were all given shore leave. Fortunately for Lucius, Stede and Ed wanted a day to themselves, meaning the scribe was temporarily freed of his duties.
The rest of you (bar a few) had decided to spend the day at a local tavern. Your boisterous party ignored the glares of fellow patrons and the bartender (who was only tolerating your presence because of the money you were pissing away on alcohol).
At some point, you and Lucius were left alone at your table while the others went to gamble over a game of cards with a group of strangers.
You callously placed your now-empty glass onto the table and slumped in your seat slightly, resting your head on Luciusâ shoulder. A quiet groan escaped your lips as nausea settled in your stomach.
âHas someone had a bit too much to drink?â Lucius teased.
Sensibly, heâd stopped drinking a while ago (and heâd advised you to do the same, but to no avail).
You hummed in response.
âWell, if youâre going to be sick, donât do it on me.â
âWouldnât dream of it, Luci.â you mumbled with a smile.
âThe last time you drank too much, you threw up all over my shoes.â
ââm sorry, Luci.â
Immediately, he realised you were being earnest. He supposed it had something to do with your drunken state. The sincerity in your voice caused him to grin.
âDo you want me to take you outside? Get some air?â
You nodded.
âCome on, then.â
He rose to his feet and helped you up, holding you by the waist as he steered you to the front entrance of the pub. As you stepped outside, you hissed, much to Luciusâ amusement. It must have been a difficult adjustment, going from the dim light of the tavern to the... slightly less dim light of the early evening.
Although you spent a good five minutes dry heaving, hands on your knees as you hunched over the cobbled ground, your urge to upchuck your innards didnât go beyond that. Lucius rubbed your back, keeping a foot outstretched behind him in case he needed to avoid a stream of vomit. Though, when you realised that- for the time being at least- you were safe, you turned to look at your companion through your heavy eyelids, while a lopsided smile graced your lips. He grinned back at you.
âI love you, Luci.â you slurred.
He chuckled.
âAw, babe,â he cooed, lifting your chin with his index finger. âI love you too.â

I see you're taking requests!! I'd like to request a Izzy hand x gn/male reader where the reader is oddly obsessed with Izzy's hands if that's okay? Could be sfw or NSFW, whatever your heart is more into :3
(I'm so deeply in love with Izzy you don't understand, littol rat man stole my heart so I am more than happy to write for him)
(Izzy Hands x gender neutral reader - set pre-season 2, some NSFW towards the end :P)
Izzy is an observant man, so sooner or later he will notice the unusual amount of attention you direct towards him.
How he reacts to it, though, will depend on how close you already are.
If you two are not close, he maintains his distance for a bit while he tries to figure out what's going on with you. He doesn't understand at first what your intentions are - he figures if anything that you're just intimidated by him - so he doesn't think much of it. However, after catching you staring a few times while he's working and seeing your flustered face turn away, he guesses that there's something more behind it.
As he starts finding excuses for you to help him with things, another thing he notes is that you seem most fixated on him when he's working with his hands. He catches you, just once, transfixed by the way his hands move when he shows you how to tie a particular knot for the second time.
Izzy curses himself when he finds himself making an effort to get your attention like that more, and he maybe even initiates some casual affection, like putting a hand on your shoulder or your lower back while he's talking to you.
If you two are in a relationship when he begins to notice, the teasing will start fast.
"See something you like, darlin'?"
And once he sees just how flustered it gets you, he'll find any excuse to rile you up.
He absolutely does that thing where he cups your jaw with his fingers and traces his thumb over your lips.
He'll beckon you over on deck with a crook of his fingers, and from the smirk on his face he knows the filthy thoughts that motion sparks.
If Izzy's sat next to you, there's a hand placed firmly on your thigh and, if you don't protest, his fingers will trace upwards until you're squirming in your seat.
(Sidenote: if you ask him very nicely he will absolutely wear the glove in bed.)
