Izzy Hands in Our Flag Means Death, season 2 episode 3

[izzy-fic-recs]

I realized I never made any sort of formal announcement of this, but I'm done with this blog. I started it because I noticed a persistent issue in the fandom when it comes to tagging stuff about Izzy, and I wanted to create a safe space for people to find Izzy-centric fics and be assured that he wouldn't be unceremoniously killed off, or sexually assaulted without warning, or any of the other things that have made trying to find fics about Izzy into a minefield. Unfortunately, I'm not in a place to be the one to do that, and I've actually given up on reading ofmd fics entirely.

If anyone is interested in taking over, you can message me @arborescentarecaceae and we can talk about it. Otherwise, you can consider this blog abandoned for now.

Every Day Izzy Gets Emails

Written by trinityofone. Word count: 1,390.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

Ye olde emails are enough to drive the strongest man to the brink. And Izzy Hands is already teetering.

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

No big warnings, aside from Izzy suffering by having to deal with emails.

[izzy-fic-recs]

do you have any recs for izzy/oc fics?

We have a whole tag for it! (although there are currently only three fics in there)

There's also the izzy/oc fic I wrote a long time ago but I felt weird about recommending my own fic on here

[izzy-fic-recs]

I'm looking for a fic where Edward and Izzy are married but Edward is gay and doesn't know Izzy is transgender. He thinks he's married to a woman and then Izzy tells him the truth and Ed is glad. Does anyone happen to know. I found it on Ao3 but can't find it anymore.

This one seems like it's what you're looking for:

[izzy-fic-recs]

Could you recommend any modern AU Steddyhands, doesn't have to be entirely pwp, but not more than a few chapters and not too heavy plot-wise?

rare and sweet as cherry wine seems like what you're looking for. And if anyone has any more suggestions, you're of course free to submit those!

rare and sweet as cherry wine

Written by wishingonalightningbolt. Word count: 10532.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

When Ed meets Stede Bonnet, his first impression is that the guy is interesting—handsome, wealthy, lots of opinions about grapes. So Ed keeps nodding and smiling and asking questions, and Stede keeps talking and gesturing and even leaning into the little touches Ed risks after a few glasses of delicious, extravagant wine. Pretty quickly, Ed realizes that the guy is too charming for his own good, full of compliments and always ready to pour another taste.

Later, when Ed presses him against a wall of barrels, swallows his moans while he gets his hands all over him, Ed knows—Izzy is gonna fucking love this guy.

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

No big warnings for this particular fic, but later fics in the series (also written by sugarybowl) vary; read the tags on those.

[izzy-fic-recs]

Hi! Can we ask for recommendations or only submit them?

You can ask for recommendations! No promises we'll be able to find anything that fits, but one of our followers might.

The Last Voyage

Written by reina_randwulf. Word count: 116,820.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

Izzy Hands thought his life was ending when Blackbeard banished him. With no ship and no captain to serve, he was ready to just drink his misery away. Then he met with Sam Bellamy who offered him a chance to sail with The Last Voyage as his first mate.

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

Overall it's a sweet, romantic fic with some moments of angst; Izzy gets kidnapped twice but Sam saves him both times, and they end up happy together. Ed and Stede appear as villains in the final chapters and things don't work out so well for them (there's a fair amount of violence towards them and it's implied but not explicitly stated that they're going to be executed).

My Favourite Ghost

Written by unopposablethumbs. Word count: 38127.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

After Stede returns, Izzy bears the brunt of the blame for what happened in his absence--when Jack finds him in port, traumatized and cowed, he decides once and for all that Izzy Hands will never set foot on the Revenge again. Can he protect Izzy from two captains determined to drag him back into their service, and help him heal from the damage they've already inflicted?

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

Ed and Stede raped Izzy before the fic, and the effects of that are discussed heavily, along with some flashbacks. Everything between Jack and Izzy is fully consensual. Ed and Stede are the villains, and as such they're portrayed fairly negatively.

Just a taste

Written by bongbingbong. Word count: 3465.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

Buttons helps Izzy clean up after a raid gone wrong.

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

There's violence and death of unnamed characters in the beginning, a lot of blood throughout, and some light cannibalism kink (but no actual sex) towards the end.

White Flags and Patchwork Quilts

Written by c_c_cherry. Word count: 20860.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

Izzy battles with the biggest, most fearsome monster since The Kraken: acute insomnia.

Despite the name, it is not a very cute thing. Not at all.

(Featuring terrible coping mechanisms, every sleep remedy on the planet, and the crew of the Revenge being a nice, completely functional family.)

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

This fic gets pretty angsty at some places, it's a hurt/comfort. It contains some non-graphic descriptions of injury and vomiting. Insomnia and sleep deprivation are described in details. A few mentions of alcohol. There are some hints on Ed/Izzy, but Izzy doesn't end up with anyone, Stede/Ed in the background. The whole crew makes an appearance. The ending is happy.

Only Port in a Storm

Written by jamierose1228. Word count: 4992.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

A hurricane forces the crew of the Revenge to spend the night on land at an inn. Izzy and Lucius are forced to share a single room. The former thinks he isn't a cuddler. The latter has a much better time than he anticipated.

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

There isn't any explicit sex, but it is referenced heavily. Izzy having unrequited feelings for Ed is briefly implied, and Lucius and Pete's relationship is mentioned several times.

Salt and Seafoam

Written by bongbingbong. Word count: 4359.

AO3 Link

Author's summary:

There's a creature in the bay where Izzy lives and fishes and tries not to let himself be haunted by his ex's boyfriend's new private yacht. It might be interesting to meet a mermaid, if Izzy was into the sort of activities that allowed him to break his own carefully constructed routines. One day, Izzy finds himself without a choice in the matter.

Mod notes/warnings (contains spoilers):

Minor depictions of blood, injury, and dead fish, and brief references to past Ed/Izzy.
