Community Recs Post!
Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.
This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)
(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)
So what cool fancrafts/fanvids/fics/fanarts/podfics/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (there is some suicidal ideation in there, with Izzy thinking it might be better to let the sea claim him)
Relationships: Izzy/Ed/Stede
Summary: Bonnet opens his mouth to say something, thinks better, closes it again, and, in one very visible sign of defeat, his shoulders drop just so. His hand moves, slow like approaching a dangerous animal, but Izzy doesn’t look away from the tired gaze of the rich fop. He can’t. He feels that hand fall on his hair - greasy and unwashed and thick with salt -, feels Bonnet’s nails scrape pleasantly at his scalp, and in the silence, they look at each other. The hand on his hair feels good, so good Izzy could go right back to sleep, but Bonnet…Bonnet isn’t done. Bonnet is never done.
“Edward loves you. You know that, right?”
The world spins on its axis.

Israel Hands has one more horrible no good day, and it changes his life.
Reccer's Note: Izzy almost drowns and it opens up some feelings. This has the popular Steddyhands trope that Ed and Izzy were once in a relationship, and I like how it was done here. I like a lot of things about this fic, recognizing Ed and Izzy's screwed up relationship, Izzy's softening towards Stede, the flushing out of Izzy's back story and how it incorporates Jack, as well as other classic pirates Anne Bonney, Mary Reid, Sam Bellamy, etc., Izzy's unspoken friendship with Ivan and Fang (they bring him canes from they find on whatever ship they raid!), and the aftermath of the toe incident. I wish there had been more dialogue and discussion between characters at some points, but the fact that there isn't also feels very Izzy.
