My turn today. So what if...
Stede and Izzy eventually start fucking, but despite Stede's repeated attempts at romance, Izzy ignores him and keeps it casual. He never stays the night, never kisses him in front of the crew, doesn't even let Stede hold his hand. And Stede doesn't know why (maybe he really doesn't like me like that?) until one day when a raid goes badly and Stede almost gets killed, a drunk Izzy spills the beans to Jim:
"Never get attached, it's not worth it, nobody lives long in this business. Especially good people, they always go first."
And Stede overhears it, of course. And the next day he starts working harder in his captain lessons with Izzy, asks Jim to teach him to use knives, asks Wee John to teach him everything about gunpowder and the rest of the crew helps him with guns, cannons and yes, even fist fights, and he gets so much better at fighting that eventually he is the one who saves Izzy's life in a raid.
And Izzy has to fight the urge to fuck him right then and there in front of the crew and the hostages, because that was the hotest thing he has seen in a long time.
(he resists until they are back on the Revenge, that's all, they leave the crew with the loot and block the door and don't get out until the next day)
(and Stede is sort of badass now, but he is still a gentleman and insist on being soft and romantic to Izzy and the man simply blushes and lets him)

On today's episode of Stizzy flavors I enjoy I give you: severely sick/injured Izzy, delirious with fever, softly and brokenly calling out for Stede.
