Izzy Hands Fic Recs (Oct 15-31st)

My favorite of the Izzy fics that I read between October 15-31st 2023. See other recs here.

Ochre, Resin, and Light by onlyoneday (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

Pygmalion inspired Steddyhands in which Ed and Izzy, top conservation artists at London's National Portrait Gallery, restore an antique portrait of an unknown man for an upcoming show. Strange, then, when Ed starts seeing the guy for real. He is real…right?

Cruel Seas by sourassin (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

Edward doesn't realise how much Izzy has changed until they're faced with his younger self. Unfortunately, Izzy himself knows exactly why he's changed.

Love is a Battlefield by conjurewithlies (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

Izzy's not sure where the curse came from. It's been nearly four months of life on the wing, tiny body angled to catch the air currents that ebb and flow around the Revenge, glossy blue-black and white feathers replacing his leathers...

A Splash of Red by lucelafonde (Ed/Izzy)

Ed spends half his life hiding who he is. That is, until Izzy and his daemon Baz turn his whole world upside down (and Bimp happens).

Forte by Roberta Seaport (Izzy/Lucius)

"That a wooden shark in your pocket, twatty?" Izzy asks, softly taunting...

live long enough by shiphitsthefan (Izzy/Lucius)

Izzy's only option for survival is both his and Earth's greatest enemy. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

His Look by house_afire (Izzy & Wee John)

Wee John helps Izzy with his makeup.

ARO/ACE/DEMI WEEK MASTERLIST

Now that our aro/ace/demi week is finished, we've created a masterlist of all the posts so it's easier to navigate. In total, we shared 8 posts with 55 fics, including several fics we haven't reviewed on the blog before. You can check them all out here:

[Part 1][Part 2][Part 3][Part 4][Part 5][Part 6][Part 7][Part 8]

But, dear mods, you might say, what if I'm specifically looking for an Aro!Dean fic? Do I have to go through all eight parts?

In that case, you can read below the cut of this post to find all the fics sorted by tags (without summaries, unfortunately).

Next week we'll be going back to our regular schedule with daily reviews. Our mods, @casblackfeathers @casloveshisfreckles @dothwrites @kitmistry @peanutbutterjelly-pie @valandrawrites and @wednesdayadddms, hope you enjoyed this special event and hopefully found a new favorite fic.

**Please note that due to the size of this list and Tumblr's link limitations, we were unable to include links to the authors on this post. All links are on the original posts we shared over the past several days, and for this list, every fic has both the name of its author and which part it was included in. We're very sorry to have to do this, but the list would be too big for a single post otherwise.**

Okay I've now been tagged twice in this so I guess I'll play, thanks @emi--rose and @mxmollusca for tagging me (and sorry Emi it's not actually letting me tag you for some reason).

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

So this is ridiculous probably because I have. Way too many WIPs. Like. This probably isn't even all of them. And this doesn't include the ideas in my ideas file.

OFMD WIPs

Shawberry play

Boyfriend Experience

Meeting Stede

Play

Ep 3

Tow Truck Sequel

Good Omens WIPs

School AU

Lockdown

Probably these won't all get finished. Anyway, ask me about them if you like.

Tagging @ghostalservice @chocolatepot @veeagainsttheday @fuckyeahisawthat @dragonmuse @internerdionality @gentleranium @normal-goatboy @darkdancer72 @shiphitsthefan and anybody else who wants to play!

live long enough

by shiphitsthefan

The Seer lowers the hood of his robe. "Lucky Hands? You look different without the eye mask."

Izzy can't do more than nod as his legs give out and he drops to his knees. He flinches instinctively when the Seer’s gloved hands touch his face moments later, cool satin feeling like a balm against the injuries on Izzy’s face.

“Ugh, you humans sure bleed a lot.” The Seer’s fingertips alight on the hand Izzy’s holding to his side—he gasps, looking at the gash beneath Izzy’s palm, immediately pressing it back over top, adding the pressure of his own. “Who hurt you?” he asks Izzy, tone indecipherable.

The corner of Izzy’s mouth twitches up as he fights a wry smile. “Take a wild fucking guess.”

“Oh blessed First Sight," the Seer whispers. There's a quiet kind of fury lurking behind his words. "I hate to ask, but how do I know this isn't a trap?"

"You don't," Izzy says, resigning himself to bleeding out beside an earthmover. "It would hardly be the first time my Captain used me as bait. But he's dating the fucking mayor; I've nowhere and no one else to turn to."

***

Izzy's only option for survival is both his and Earth's greatest enemy. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

[consistantly-changing]

[Image descriptions in order: a twitter thread by @/shiphitsthefan "ship | #spnborders | see pinned" which says "Swim class: "He's silly!" the little girl says, pointing at my kid. "I want to play with him."

"Be gentle," says her grandmother.

"I saw on Sesame Street," and she jumps beside my spinning son.

There's an autistic, nonverbal Muppet. Don't tell me representation doesn't matter.]

["It's kind of funny, because I was pissed at Sesame Street's portrayal of an autistic child, because it hit so many tropes, and every autistic kid is different. (It's not a spectrum; it's a sundae bar.) And then I realized I was looking at it like an adult.]

["Preschoolers look at Julia, and they see some of the most "readable" traits. It helps them to not only recognize an autistic play/classmate, but to learn how to be a good friend with them. To not be afraid of them.]

["When you're four or five years or six years old, the sundae bar concept is too much to grasp. The inaccurate spectrum model isn't much better, because then they think in terms of the kid being "good" or "bad". But saying, "Hey, you may have a friend like or kind of like this."]

["That's huge. That sets the foundation for learning more and discovering how to interact. That everyone has something that makes them unique, or things that are sometimes hard. AK has trouble talking, but he's great with computers already. Disabled people aren't scary.]

["It's a platform for them learning there's nothing wrong with using sign language, or having a wheelchair, or wearing an insulin pump, or any other disability under the sun. And we fucking need that.]

["Looking at it as an autistic adult, I see the underpinnings of ableism. Looking at it like an abled child, I see a path to acceptance. And that's a good thing.]

["I've seen some questions about sundae bar theory as opposed to spectrum. There was a graphic I saw on facebook, and it goes like this: imagine every person as a bowl of ice cream. There's a wide array of toppings (traits) that each sundae can have. Okay? Break it down further.]

["So now let's see the ice cream as a specific person; someone with autism. All the toppings are the myriad of traits and "signs" an autistic person might have. For instance, I'm superverbal and sensitive to touch, and my son is nonverbal and physically sensory- seeking.]

["Any autistic person can have any number of traits, or just one, or maybe thirty. But in the end, there's nothing that makes someone more higher functioning than another. A sundae's a sundae's. It's just different. You can't make one exactly the same way twice.]

["When it comes down to it, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to be autistic. If you are, then you are. And you can't make a bad sundae.

(I mean, you might not like one, but someone else would. Because we're all delicious! No cannibalism intended.)"

“ Jaime only knows her as, “Flat white; sub heavy whipping cream; two extra ristretto shots.” She always comes to Winterfell Coffee during the slowest parts of the day, so there’s never been a real need to ask for her name. Flat White is tall, strong and imposing; Jaime wonders, when he’s utterly bored, if the drink was named after her. ”

Another day, another list of aro/ace/demi fics for you to enjoy!

Part 3

Aces by Flatcoke [Teen, 32K, Ace!Cas]

The first time he comes into the shop Dean is pretty sure he is a hallucination brought on by his dry spell and accompanying month-long porn fest. He has seen this guy’s whole profile. He’s seen the whole profile so maybe his brain automatically imagines his face on every dark-haired guy he sees now. Or in which Dean's newest patron also happens to be his favorite porn star, and how is going to get through grad school when all his blood has headed down south?

Like An Old Fashioned Song by MayQueen517 [General 2,2K, Aro!Dean, Ace!Cas]

Dean wishes he could have said more; but what can you say when you feel at odds with everything? === If pressed, Dean thinks he’d say that Cas is everything from partners to family to a best friend, and everything in between.

like january by sharkfish [Explicit, 8K, Ace!Cas]

“I told you that I’m asexual,” Cas says, “and that’s true, but I’ve always understood myself to be more gray-asexual than purely asexual. That means --” “I know what it means,” Dean says, letting out the breath he was holding. “I haven’t been attracted to someone in so long, the distinction no longer seemed to be relevant.” “Nothing can change the way I feel about you,” Dean says. “Nothing.” Cas looks down at his hands. “Sometimes I think I may be attracted to you.”

Grooming Instincts by jemariel [Explicit, 26K, Demi!Cas]

There's something going on with Cas. Dean is determined to help him through it, in whatever way he can. He might end up with more than he bargained for. OR: Dean helps Cas scratch an itch. As it were.

spinning verse by sharkfish [Mature, 5K, Ace!Cas]

“Listen up!” Dean hollers, louder than necessary in the small space. “We are spinnin’ this bottle, and then we’re going to do some kissin’! Happy New Year!”

Intangible by tiamatv [Explicit, 13,9K, Demi!Cas]

“Hey, Cas,” Dean called out. He dropped his keys into the bowl by the doorway, pushed up both sleeves of his shirt, and let the door swing closed behind him. It’d no sooner clicked closed than he felt something cool brush the side of his cheek and a slip of wind around his waist, a hint of pressure against his back that he could barely feel through his flannel and his jeans. Hello, Dean, Castiel wrote, with the delicate scratch of an invisible fingernail across the flat of Dean’s palm.

For Science by shiphitsthefan [Explicit, 6K, Demi!Cas]

“Think of it like an experiment," says Dean. "You’re testing a hypothesis as to whether or not a desirable response can be achieved through the stimulation of the anus via the application of a willing volunteer’s muscular hydrostat.” Cas raises an eyebrow. “Are you actually trying to use the scientific method to talk me into letting you lick my asshole?”

[desperatelyseekingcannibals]

This question viscerally threw me back in time to @shiphitsthefan 's Priority One

https://archiveofourown.org/works/10445265/chapters/23059317

Do you guys think Hannibal would like xenomorphs? You know because they're smart, animalistic and the whole being the perfect organism thing. Or would he hate them because he has a god complex and there can only be one intelligent perfect organism and humanity=him because he thinks he's the only human (and beloved Will of course)?

[murder-husbands-big-bang]

Title: Pressure Points

Author: @shiphitsthefan

Artist: @embulalia

Rating: Explicit

Length: 28,000 words

Pairings: Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter, background Chiyoh/Abigail Hobbs

Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Rape/Non-Con

Tags: Episode: s02e11 Ko No Mono, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Dark Will, Hannibal is Hannibal, Rape Aftermath, Rape Recovery, Hurt/Comfort, Caretaking, Revenge, Murder Family, Happy Ending

Summary:

Though Hannibal had imagined many paths toward winning Will over and awakening his hidden monster, facilitating his recovery from a brutal abduction and hours-long gang rape never once entered his manipulative equations. Mason’s revenge for the impregnation of his sister was exacting, and Hannibal knows Will’s suffering was nothing more than a dig at himself, no matter what Will believes. Nevertheless, the games between he and Will continue, a wound that festers as much as it heals.

Neither of them have earned each other’s trust, but Will has certainly earned his pound of flesh, and Hannibal will see him have it, no matter the personal cost.
