What's in a name? by Biweatherman Word Count: 4748 words Fandom: Our Flag Means Death Rating: Not Rated Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ed/Stede/Izzy Summary: Dying on the deck of an enemy ship, while serving his Captain, that was the way to go. That was how First Mate Hands should have died. It was clear he was of no use to Blackbeard, if Blackbeard even existed anymore. And if there was no Blackbeard, then there should also be no First Mate to Blackbeard. They should have just left him there, to drown in blood on the deck of that Dutch ship. Or: Izzy has spent his adult life defining himself as Blackbeard's right hand man. So, what happens when Blackbeard no longer exists? Reccer's Note: Izzy saves Stede's life, but gets stabbed in the process. He then has to be taken care of by Stede and Ed, although he fights that. Izzy's introspection is well written, and I liked the slow progression of their relationship.
Luck of the Devil by ItsClydeBitches Word Count: 6380 words Fandom: Our Flag Means Death Rating: T Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ed/Stede/Izzy Summary: I'm dying, Izzy thought with sudden, brutal clarity. Right on the heels of that came: Finally. And then: Edward. Reccer's Note: Izzy nearly drowns, but is saved by Stede. He is really sick after and has to be cared for by Stede and Ed (I know, I have a soft spot for hurt/comfort stories). At one point they bundle Izzy up in a blanket, and have to support him, I loved that.
stede's super fun sleepover adventure (ft. a mildly traumatised izzy hands) by natilieal Word Count: 4170 words Fandom: Our Flag Means Death Rating: G Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ed/Stede/Izzy Summary: ‘Just so I understand,’ Izzy says, voice steely in a way that would have most men quaking with fear, but only earns him an indulgent smile from Stede, ‘you’re going to enforce mandatory bonding time for me with the rest of the crew so that I can… learn to get along with them?’ Or, Stede organises a sleepover to try and get to know Izzy better. Somewhere in between wearing Stede's clothes and getting his nails painted, Izzy loses his mind. Reccer's Note: This fic is very funny, Stede has a mandatory sleepover for him, Ed and Izzy, and poor Izzy just doesn't know how to handle it. Plus, Ed and Stede are like giddy schoolgirls, who won't let Izzy sleep. I also recommend the second fic in this series, 7 habits of highly effective first mates, where Izzy tries to implement some of Stede's management techniques, and he freaks the crew out, hilarious!
