I really enjoy the concept of edizzy having a 24/7 D/s relationship, that of course they never talked about and maybe Ed never really understood what it was, hell maybe even Izzy didn't consciouslly know that it was the role he had placed himself in, and of course it all goes to shit - because how do you provide care for a person that you own, when you don't fully understand just how much you own them. How do you rely on a man to be a master to you, when he doesn't know that's the role you've assigned him.
Then maybe, down the line post S2 (were pretending like half of S2 didn't happen, I'm picking and choosing from what I liked lol), they finally do talk about It™. And of course, Stede plays a part in helping them create a healthy (or at least healthier) version of that dynamic, but it's not just Stede. I want it to also just be Edward and Izzy having grown as people. Edward having realized he had become his father and then working to getting better, developing more self control and allowing himself to experience the desire to control in a health(ier) and controlled fashion, where he can prove to himself (and Izzy) that he's capable of compassion along side cruelity and admitting to himself that he's allowed to have that duality and that it doesn't make him evil. Izzy realizing he has to communicate and ask for things he wants, the he has to endure the mortifying ordeal of being known. Izzy accepting that he can be owned but still own himself just as well, that he can demand respect from his captain while still being loyal to and dedicating himself to his captain.
