#the way stede smiles at izzy has me MELTING Tumblr posts

[avastyetwats]

The way Stede looks at Izzy when he comes out dressed and singing is everything to me.

[raggedy-dxctor]

Aaaaaahhh, I absolutely adore your Izzy Hands headcanons!!! Do you have any hcs about the rest or the crew finding out about the relationship?

The crew finding out about your relationship with izzy

pairing(s): izzy hands x gn!reader, black pete x lucius, ed x stede, jim x olu

warnings: none at all, the crew are just being a supportive found family :]

ok so i think we all know that the biggest supporter is ed. he's absolutely overjoyed that there's someone that can help izzy understand the joys of love and how much better it can make your life to have someone you adore in it. after stede came back, ed couldn't help but fall right back to square one and fall for him again, much to izzy's anger, so he felt like he was disappointing izzy, but when the relationship between you and izzy became public he was overjoyed because maybe izzy would finally understand why he ran back to stede so fast

i feel like the second most supportive behind ed is olu?? olu is legit over the moon for the two of you, he wraps you both up in a giant hug, much to izzy's dicomfort, and congratulates you, wishing you a long and happy relationship

jim just kinda mutters a sarcastic "congratulations", which earns them a small shove from olu, but they do genuinely mean well, they're happy that you've found someone, and slightly concerned that it's izzy because in their eyes you could probable do much better

stede just kinda judges you. a lot. he's happy for you but so so confused on your choices, he supports the relationship nonetheless though because he's hoping it will lighten up izzy

lucius is definitely the nosiest, but in the friendly kinda mum friend way. "omg y/n, so tell me, does je treat you right and give you all the affection you deserve" "god help your worm of a boyfriend if he ever breaks your he-" "LUCIUS! i'm fine! honestly! he's perfect- we're perfect" and he just melts and pulls you into a hug, congratulating you

honestly i think frenchie is the least suprised. he's been telling everyone that the two of you would make a GREAT couple for MONTHS now, mainly because he can very clearly see the two of you pining after eachother and somehow nobody else can. so when you finally get together he just has to act shocked. "wow! you two?! i never would've- wow! never could've predicted this!"

wee john just claps you both on the back and congratulates you both, giving you a slight look of pity as a joke

black pete just smiles fondly at the two of you, congratulating you and pulling you in for a small hug, he doesn't dare hug izzy, he knows hetyer than that, instead he walks back into lucius' embrace and gives you a thumbs up to show he's proud of you, he whispersl "you finally did it" and does a small, silent cheer as he jabs his fist up in subtle celebration

Hello! I was wondering if you’d be willing to keep this anonymous…could I request a Blackbeard x Male or Masculine presenting reader who is like some super feared pirate that worked with Ed for years before branching off by himself for a bit? Maybe he runs into Ed and is super flirty and sweet to everyone despite his reputation? Ed just wants to be held by reader and is like “uh yeah he’s a close friend” and Stede is like “are you dumb? Ur clearly gay for that man”. Idk LMAO I’m just starved for OFMD x reader content.

Ed x Stede x Male!Reader

☆ Hope you like it! First time writing for the gays ☆

-> Summary: You are an old friend of Edward and come back to the crew after some years. Ed and Stede realize they have fallen in love with you so, two gay messes.

-> Tags: Male Reader, Headcanons, Fluff, SFW. Izzy likes reader too [platonically]

-> Warnings: This work is intended for male/male presenting readers. Don't tag this as yaoi or fetishize mlm relationships.

Please tell me if you find any mistake

Stede and Ed had been together for a long time now, and they surely made the perfect couple. They had heard everything about their respective lifes, ans that included you in Ed's apportation.

Stede had been told by both Ed and Izzy (mostly Izzy) that you were a fierce pirate, the fiercest he had met in fact, and that it was no clever choice to mess with you. Rumours (Izzy again) said that you had the strenght of an entire army and your eyes were said to reflect hell itself.

But, when Stede and his crew met you, their expectations were quickly throwed off as they met the most charming and kind pirate they have ever met. You joked with the crew and kindly greeted Stede the first time before shouting "Ed!" and hugging him tightly. You even gave Olivia a few pats and complimented her feathers! The whole crew was delighted with your presence.

▪︎Ed is very happy to see you again! He missed you and your work together as a team. He missed the good old days were you would terrorize the rival ships together, the good old days where you would drink whole bottles of rum along by the deck or when you would hug and sleep together on cold nights.

Yep, a completly platonic friendship. Absolutely...

▪︎Ed couldn't be happier to introduce you to Stede. At first he is very tense around you due to your reputation but as soon as he sees that you're inoffensive, he chills a bit.

▪︎Stede admires you and wants to learn about everything you did and do as a pirate! Don't forget any detail, he'll watch you closely just like an excited kid, with those brown eyes shining brightly all through.

▪︎He also melts when he sees how close you and Ed are and how cute Ed looks when he's with you. He laughs wholeheartly, he smiles sweetly and his eyes light up when you're joking. It's very different from his relationship with Jack and he can see why.

▪︎But Stede doesn't feel jealous and loves having you around! The way you cheer up the crew, your funny anecdotes and stories that manage to make smile Izzy himself and your kind eyes whenever you listen to him talk... He is so dreamy about you lately that even Ed has to pinch his arm from time to time to bring him back to reality.

▪︎The funny part here is how both of them are developing feeling towards you and, somehow, they can only notice it in the other, not themselves.

▪︎So, eventually, when Ed starts talking about you dreamily, Stede confronts him.

"My God, Ed. It's obvious that you love that man, get over it!"

"What ya' mean it's obvious I love him? It's ya' the one who is all head over heels with him since he came!"

▪︎Their both realization faces were such a masterpiece as two little "Oh..." left their mouths

▪︎Now with a little hop let's head straight to the relationship part

▪︎Ed is completely amazed by for fighting abilities. The way your face and behavior changes drastically as soon as you are face to face to your enemies... Enough to make his mouth drool. On the other hand, Stede has his heart beating loudly the moment he sees his two soulmates doing and absolute, bloody mess when you're doing a raid.

▪︎And don't let me get started when you get all flirty around them. Ed's knees turning jelly when you throw him compliments with zero shame or push behind his ear a loose hair strand, and a dark red blush creeping around Stede's face the moment you praise his clothes or behavior.

AU Where Stede Is Just Inexplicably Yolked, Dude: Part 7; Feats Of Strength When There's No Ghost Haunting Your Ass

Izzy feels like the world is almost right again whenever Bonnet does something outrageously stupid.

So when the ship runs aground for the second time (as far as Izzy knows), he's almost glad.

"Well!" Bonnet claps his hands, and Izzy knows that damn tone far too well now. It makes Ed perk up in a way that make Izzy almost throw up. And Bonnet continues, because he never shuts the fuck up. "As you may have noticed, we've run aground!"

"Again," more than of the sorry crew mumble. Izzy smirks a little.

"Yes. Again. I admit, maybe mandatory midnight jam sessions weren't my finest idea, but! This just means another vacation! This time without hostages, or unpleasant encounters!"

"Hey man." Ivan gestures at him and Fang. "We're right here, mate."

"Ah, I didn't you mean you. You two are a delight." Bonnet smiles at them, and throws a pointed glance at Izzy, and it's only the still-healing ache in his nose that prevents him from retaliating. Much. He does throw a scowl that curdles most men's blood Bonnet's way. But Bonnet shrugs those glares off with the same ease Izzy has ending a man's life.

If he didn't hate him so much, it'd be impressive. But Bonnet's only got guts when they're least needed. Or least helpful. Or most irritating.

Really, he's only got guts when it'll make things worse for Izzy.

"Point is, we've got time for ourselves! So let's get down to the beach, enjoy some sand, some sun!"

"It's midnight."

"Some moon, then! You know, some scholars even believe that moonlight is just, light from the sun that the moon somehow reflects!"

"That's nonsense." "Fuckin' dumb." "Sounds like witchcraft." "Moon's not a mirror, Cap'n."

"Alright, alright, I get it." Bonnet flaps those stupid flouncy sleeves of his to get them to shut up. It doesn't work.

Izzy slips off of the boat while they all argue.

"Hey, Izzy!" He looks up at Ed.

"Yes, Captain?"

"Where're you goin', man? We're gonna make a little fire on the beach. Tell campfire stories and shit."

"I don't wanna do that, Edward. Not with this lot, especially."

"You're such a fuckin' stick in the mud, man! We're not on the fuckin' Queen Anne anymore, you can cut loose. Chill out a little."

"That's what I'm doing. Away from those twats."

Ed sighs. "Suit yourself, man."

"I am."

And he does, quite happily, by finding a nice tree to lay under and sleeping far, far away from the idiots (one idiot in particular) who melted his boss's brain.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm not carrying him!"

"Why not, Captain? My back been botherin' me."

"Then ice it later, John! I'm not picking him up just for him to stab me! In the heart!"

"Fine."

It's only after he's scooped up and thrown over the maybe-Irish one's shoulder that Izzy's mostly-asleep brain realizes, yes, he is the one being picked up.

At least it wasn't by Bonnet. And at least Bonnet's still aware Izzy can and will stab him. Some fuckin' silver lining to this fuckin' stormcloud of a life he's gotten stuck in. Like he sailed right into one of those damn sausage clouds.

"Put me down, you fuckwit," Izzy growls, and is unceremoniously dropped into the sand head-first. He scrambles to his feet, furiously spluttering. "Fuckin'- shitbags- sand in my- fuck!"

"Sand in your what?" He gets to his feet and glares at Ed.

"Have we got the fuckin' boat back in the water or not? ... Captain?"

"Nah, man. Stuck as hell," Ed says, sucking in a breath. "But we've got plenty of provisions, watch this. STEDE!"

"Yeah?"

"FEELING LIKE A COCONUT, MATE!"

"Alright!"

And Bonnet walks over to a coconut tree. And shakes it. And barely leaps out of the way of one falling on his head. And cracks the fucking thing open with his bare hands.

"Oh, this one's a bit slimy." Bonnet looks at Ed with a grimace, but Ed may as well have fuckin' stars in his eyes.

"Fuck this." Izzy storms over to the boat and pushes. Not a budge. He grits his teeth and turns to the rest of the dogs he's stuck with. "Why aren't any of you lot trying to push it back in?!"

"We can do that?" the not-very-Swedish one asks.

"Oh, god." The last word comes out more of a hacking choke of rage than an actual word. "Fuckin' useless, bunch of-"

"Now now!" Bonnet struts up to him, struts, tripping over himself the whole way because he is wearing dress shoes on a beach and Ed is still looking at-

Izzy looks away, because Ed is looking at Bonnet's ass. This is getting unbearable.

"Now, Izzy, I know tensions are a little heightened, but, there's no need to cast blame here."

"Says the guy who ran us aground," Izzy hears Jim mutter.

"No laying blame!" Bonnet repeats in a raised sing-song tone. "Anyway, it'd take a small army to get her back in the water. The last time this happened I tried for hours, just like this-"

One push.

Creak.

No. No, this isn't happening.

"-and she wouldn't budge. Because she is a sturdy ship-"

Another push, more like an affectionate pat really.

Creak.

"-made of high-quality materials and loaded with valuable goods. Granted, I was a bit... distressed at the time-"

Another push, for emphasis probably because this is Bonnet, and-

And the ship slides out from Bonnet's hands and into the fucking waves. Bobbing, just barely, in the shallows.

"Oh!" Bonnet puts his hands on his hips. "Well, either this sand is a bit firmer, or I've improved my form!"

"You got the boat back in the fuckin' water, man!" Ed races past them, clapping an arm around Bonnet's shoulders and pulling him out too as the rest of the crew rush out to push the ship back out of the shallows. And Izzy is pretty sure Ed is squeezing Bonnet's shoulder, and also pretty sure he sees Bonnet grinning. And Ed's hand moving lower-

"Maybe if I go back they'll just maroon me," he mutters.
