SwevThinking bout Ed and Stede inviting Izzy to their quarters one night... They sit him down on a chair, they wine and dine him. He's not really sure what's happening, not really sure why Stede’s eyes are narrowed, why he's sitting a bit more upright than he usually does.
He's not *complaining*, the food is better than what he usually gets to eat and the wine is strong and sweet.
He pushes the confusion to the side, let's himself enjoy the dinner. He snorts at Ed's jokes,
It's not till dessert, when Ed leans over to Izzy and cocks his head at him that Izzy feels the shiver of something - something not quite like fear, but not quite unlike it either - and he swallow a bite of pastry.
"Izzy," Ed says and there's velvet in his voice.
"yeah?" Izzy replies.
He scans Ed's face for a hint of what's to come, but finds nothing but the careful blank expression there he'd worn so frequently during his stint as the Kraken.
Izzy's leg aches and he casts a quick glance at Stede - surely with him here, Ed won't...
Won't what? Ed's been better lately, hasn't laid a hand on Izzy since Stede’s return.
The sound of sharp scissors still ring through Izzy's memory, but then Ed speaks, drowns it out.

The sound of sharp scissors still ring through Izzy's memory, but then Ed speaks, drowns it out.
"I was wondering if you could do me a favour," he says, and Stede clicks his tongue. "You good, Stede? Ed asks.
In Stede’s jaw, a muscle is working. "Would anyone like a brandy?" he asks and rises abruptly.
"Stede?" Ed leans away from Izzy. "Stede, you said-"
"I know what I said, give me a moment!" Stede snaps and clinks with a bottle.
Izzy can hear him breathing heavily from across the room, frowns. "Edward, what-"
With three glasses in hand, Stede returns to the table. His hand is trembling as he sets them down, pours a generous portion of amber liquid into each of them.
Stede takes a deep gulp of his own glass before pushing the two glasses to the other men.
"Izzy," Stede says, a small smile on his face as he looks at him. "Ed had a request to make of us."
Thing is, Izzy and Stede aren't close. They trained together for a while. Stede’s becoming somewhat tolerable, between learning to be a bit less of a terrible pirate and the way he makes Ed laugh more often, keeps the bouts of the black moods of violence and cold anger at bay
But Ed asking a favour of both of them - Izzy raises an eyebrow.
Ed clears his throat and Izzy's attention snaps to him. "Stede’s right," he says with a sideways glance at Stede. "if he's okay with it, that is."
With a loose gesture, Stede waves the words away and Ed shrugs, leans towards Izzy.
"I want to watch-" Ed's eyes are fixed on Izzy now, the brown depths sparkling and glinting in the candlelight and Izzy can barely breathe. "-while you fuck him."
Izzy's mind screeches to a halt.
Surely... He's misunderstanding. He must be. There's no way -
Stede knocks back the rest of his glass and pours himself another brandy, and Izzy follows the motion.
"What?" Izzy says as his brain struggles to catch up.
Ed's hand is suddenly warm and heavy on Izzy's thigh, and his mind zeroes in on the sensation. Izzy's mouth is running dry and he breathes in heavily, not sure if he trust himself to speak.
Izzy's always wanted Ed. Since the first moment he laid eyes on him, years and years ago. They'd tumbled a few times in their youth and Izzy had never dared to hope that it might happen again, except now -
Except that's not what's happening here, is it?
Ed moves fluidly, as lightly as a cat, his hand trailing up Izzy's thigh, up his stomach which spasms under the leather, up the chest until he tips Izzy's face upwards.
"Izzy, Izzy, Izzy," he says and swings a leg over Izzy's thighs, straddles him. "Always so *dour* - d'you ever think you're gonna lighten up, Iz?"
Izzy swallows, opens his mouth to reply, but Ed shushes him, his fingers pushing into Izzy's mouth before he can say a word. "Shh, shh, shh. I think fucking Stede would cheer you up, wouldn't it?"
At the mention of Stede, Izzy's eyes flick to the other captain. He's watching them carefully, his face unreadable as he swirls his brandy in its glass.
"Don't you think so, love?" Ed asks Stede who rolls his eyes and rises. He's wearing a thick robe which swishes around his ankles as he pads over, peers down on Izzy and Ed.
"Maybe." Stede swirls his glass again but spills a bit. He narrows his eyes at it. "Maybe it will," he says and pushes the liquor-wet fingers into Izzy's mouth as well, next to Ed's.
Izzy can't help the little moan that escapes him at it, at the rough intrusion, at the sudden stretch of his jaw. The sound makes Ed bark out a short laugh. "I think it will. 'sides, it'd make *me* pretty fucking lighthearted, yeah?"
Ed has to feel the hardness against his thigh as he shifts over Izzy's lap, he *has* to, but he doesn't say a word, just shifts back and forth a few times, pretending to make room for Stede to step closer. The press of fingers against his tongue, the roof of his mouth - Izzy resists grinding into the feel of Ed's weight on his lap.
Stede withdraws his fingers and pushes them in again a few times, a slow pump of his fingers, and his eyes narrow, the blank expression still in place.
After a few moments he pulls his fingers out, pulls a face at the sight of the spittle there. He wipes them on the thick linen napkins he still favours, starched and ironed. A ridiculous frivolity.

"As long as it'll make you happy, darling," Stede replies to Ed. He's looking at Izzy as he speaks the words, but Izzy gets the sense that he's looking through him, only seeing the part of him where Ed's fingers are buried in him.
"D-gh-" Izzy manages and Ed pulls his fingers out, an amused twist to his mouth.
"Yeah, Iz?" Ed asks. He holds up his fingers and they glisten in the light.
Izzy clears his throat, wipes the worst of the spit from his mouth with his sleeve. "Do I not get a say in this?"
The smile on Ed's face grows wider. "Sure you do." He leans forward, his mouth next to Izzy's ear. "Do you not want to fuck Stede?" Ed, curse his blood, sits down a little heavier, making Izzy's cock twitch and his hands fly to Ed's waist.
"Fuck-" he grunts and grinds his teeth tightly together.
"I'm not-"
"Look at him, Iz," Ed murmurs and grinds against Izzy. "I've seen you looking, you know, I've seen how closely you stand to him when you're fencing."
Izzy's eyes snap to Stede despite himself. "That's not-"
A hand grips his hair, pulls him back tightly. "Tell me I'm wrong," Ed says, and it's a dare and a threat, and Izzy swallows.
"You-you're not." Izzy bites out and Ed's responding smile is brilliant and glowing.
For a moment the hand in his hair tightens more, a pained twisting sensation, before it slackens again, becomes a caress instead.
Ed's eyes flick to Stede. "Told you, love."
"You did," comes the answering sigh and Izzy's cheeks are warming, a flash of heat shooting through him at the humiliation, at Ed and Stede having *discussed* this, having *seen* Izzy.
At Stede *knowing*.
It's not that Izzy *likes* Stede, not exactly.
There's just something compelling about him - his stupid floppy hair, his sturdy frame that Izzy's been having difficulty beating in their fencing lessons lately-
Attraction. That's all.
There's something disdainful in Stede's eyes, something like *pity* and Izzy's insides squirm, the redhot burn of humiliation making him grind against Ed again, telling on himself more than his
words ever could.
"So?" Stede's voice rings through the room and Izzy's so hard he can barely see straight. "What'll it be, then? Will you hm. fuck me?"
Izzy catches a whiff of Ed's scent as he leans closer, clutching at Ed's thighs, working his hips against him, overtly. "Fuck-yes-y-yes, I'll-" he manages before Ed pushes off him, slipping out of Izzy's grasp in an instant.
"Knew it," Ed wraps his arms around Stede's neck.
"Oh, get off it," Stede says, his mouth against Ed's. There's a scoff there, a chuckle.
Ed snorts in response. "Oh, I plan to. How do you want him?"
The look in Stede's gaze is dark and Izzy can't tell if he *does*.
He pushes the idea from his mind when his dick throbs again.
Stede sighs. "Clothes off, Izzy."
He shouldn't. He shouldn't want to, not when Stede looks at him like he's bored, like he's doing this as a *favour*-
But he does. How could he not, when Ed is smouldering at him from behind just Stede, when Stede is *offering* -
Izzy scrambles up, almost tripping as he steps on his leg wrong, forgetting about it for a moment, and he flushes at the thought, even as he tugs his cravat off, his vest, his shirt.
At his trousers, he falters, looks to Stede. "How?" he rasps, tries to bury the hunger in his voice.
Stede considers for a moment before frowning. "Ed? Any preferences?"
Ed's already unbuttoning his own clothes, albeit at a slower pace than Izzy, "Oh, I have a preference, alright."

@IzzyCanyon "Get naked, love," Ed says. "Turn around, hands on the table."
Stede rolls his eyes before acquiescing. "I indulge you too much, don't I?" His robe slides from his shoulders and he places it on a chair before deftly unbuttoning his shirt. "Of all your wretched ideas..."
"It's a great idea," Ed snorts and drops onto the settee, his legs spread wide, his cock visibly straining against the leather.
@IzzyCanyon "Should never have agreed to this." Stede opens his shirt, the broad expanse of skin there making Izzy inhale deeply. Stede narrows his eyes. "You know, I never agreed to be naked." He shoves his trousers down and turns around places his palms on the lacquered surface of the table. "Come on, then, Izzy. I don't have all day."
"Aw, Stede," Ed whines. "I wanna see - "
"You'll see enough," Stede snaps and fixes his eyes on Izzy again.
@IzzyCanyon "Izzy," he says again, slowly, his voice a drawl. "Are you a bit slower today than usual?"
Izzy's behind him in a few strides, and he wastes no time pushing the dress-shirt out of the way, bunching it on Stede's back. He runs his gloved hand over the light fuzz on Stede's ass, caresses it.
Under his hand, he feels the muscle trembling. Izzy grins. "How'd he wrangle you into this?" he asks and pushes Stede's pants down further.
@IzzyCanyon Stede huffs, squirms under his touch. "Why do you care? You're getting plenty out of this, wouldn't you say?"
Izzy's ears are burning. "Sure," he says blithely, tries to ignore the knot in his guts. "You just don't seem particularly *keen*, is all."
With a snort, Ed gets up and tosses a jar of oil to Izzy before he sits down again, one leg slung over the armrest.. "Stede and I were just having a chat and well... you came up, is all."
@IzzyCanyon "*A chat*," Stede echoes, a high-pitched imitation. "You're a filthy liar. You got me blackout drunk, didn't you." Izzy unscrews the jar, dips his ungloved fingers in the half-solid mass, and lets it melt between his fingers.
Ed grins, his eyes hooded and smug. "Well, it worked didn't it."
"You're-" before Stede can say more, Izzy pulls his asscheeks apart and touches the pad of his finger to Stede's hole, and Stede *shrieks*.
@IzzyCanyon "Oh, you miserable little man---would a *warning *have been too much to ask for?" he turns to glare at Izzy, and Izzy just shrugs.
"Thought you were ready," he says and presses against the furl of muscle, feels it twitching under his finger.
"C'mon Iz, I opened him up earlier, you don't have to-"
Stede snorts, just as Izzy pushes his finger into him. "He's been pining for so long, Ed, let the poor man-*ah*-"
@IzzyCanyon Listening to Stede talk about this-this ridiculous attraction in this way makes Izzy's nostrils flare, makes his heart beat faster. He twists his finger to fuck it into Stede shallowly.
Stede, of course, doesn't know when to shut up. "Did-did you not think that I *saw* you?"
"Thought Edward had to point it out to you," Izzy says through gritted teeth and pushes another finger into Stede.
@IzzyCanyon
The motion makes Stede gasp and there's something gratifying about the sharp intake of breath, about the way that the muscle tenses and loosens around Izzy's fingers.
"He - ah-, yes, I didn't known for sure till he did, didn't think that you would be quite so ridiculous -" Stede stutters through the words. "Thought-thought you were interested i-in Lucius, fuck-" Izzy jams the fingers deeply into Stede at Lucius' name.
"Who says I'm not?" Izzy snarls, his face turning hot. Better to embrace a weakness than let your enemy realise what he's got on you.
"Enough," Ed snaps from the settee and Izzy swallows thickly, pauses the slow pump of his fingers. He'd almost forgotten that Ed was *there*, so wrapped up in the infuriating man opening up underneath him. "Stop talking."
Beneath him, Stede whines. Izzy's fingers are buried in his ass and he keeps them still,
let's the man squirm for a moment.
"oh, get *on* with it," Stede finally snaps. "Didn't take you for the sort of man who would hesitate when offered his hearts desire."
Izzy leans forward, slides his gloves hand into Stede’s hair. "You presume too much," he says, a strained note in his voice. He grips Stede’s hair tightly, gratification trickling down his spine when Stede moans, fights the pull backwards before arching his back beautifully.
His fingers in Stede graze over a soft spot, and Stede's back tenses.
"You're - *oh*- stop t-that and just g-get on with it-" he tries to twists his head, but the strands of hair caught in Izzy's fist tighten and a pained whimper escapes him, just as Izzy rubs over the soft spot again. "E-Ed, p-please-"
From the side, Ed snorts. "Ease up a bit, Iz, he can be a bit sensitive," he says and Izzy twists his fingers to hit the spot better, repeats
the action until Stede lets out a grunt, and Ed tuts.
"Izzy."
"Thought you wanted me to fuck him?" Izzy asks, his cock painfully hard.
"Sure do," Ed drawls. "Didn't ask you to torture him yet."
*Yet*.
Izzy withdraws his fingers, let's go of Stede's hair. More than a few wavy blond strands come away in Izzy's hand when Stede slumps forward onto the table, breathing hard.
"So?" Stede grits out when he's caught his breath a bit.
He cracks open an eye to look at Izzy, a thin smirk on his face. "Go on, then. Do your worst."
It's a challenge, Izzy sees the glint in Stede's eyes, not unlike the look he gets when they're training and Izzy's bested him too many times, the look of Stede setting his spine with steel in order to prove Izzy wrong.
It makes Izzy's balls ache, the infuriating disdain on Stede's face. He gets his cock out with trembling fingers, suddenly desperate.
He thrusts in, his dick catching on Stede's rim, buries himself in the heat, the muscle of Stede's hole clamping down on him tightly, the moan spilling from Stede's lips setting Izzy's blood on fire.
He wants more, he *needs* more, and his hips snap jaggedly, less coordinated with every moan from Stede's lips.
"O-oh, *Ed*," Stede whimpers, and Ed laughs.
Izzy's eyes snap to him, sees the dick in his hand, feels lightheaded with it all.
"Not my name you should be moaning, love," Ed chuckles, and Stede tenses at that, his back curving in on himself. Izzy catches a glimpse of Stede's eyes as he looks backwards for a moment before hiding his face in his arms, bent over properly, letting Izzy tug him backwards onto his cock.
"Don't *remind* me," Stede snaps to Ed, and Izzy narrows his eyes.

(Y'all are a bunch of saps, no unrequited love here 😘💗 removing the dubcon tag)
Izzy tunes them out, the sound of Ed and Stede bickering fades into the background. He thrusts forward, harsher now, buries himself in Stede again and again.
It's imperfect. The height difference means that Izzy has to stand on his tip-toes, and balancing on the hoof with the other leg makes him waver and catch himself on Stede's ass.
His hands grasp on the warm skin, keeps hold and squeezes the muscle tightly. He thrusts in jagged little thrusts that make his vision go white, makes him-
"-zy. Izzy." Ed's voice cuts through the haze of pleasure and Izzy's gaze lifts, slowly, uncertainly, as his hips continue working of their own volition.
"Boss?" he rasps and stills, buried to the hilt in Stede's ass. In the quiet he can suddenly hear Stede's stuttering gasps, his own heavy breathing.
"I asked," Ed drawls, a smirk plastered on his face. "-how does he feel?"
The muscle of Stede's ass clenches at the words and Izzy staggers forward, leans over the broad expanse of pale skin beneath him, halfway hidden beneath the silken shirt. "Unh-" Izzy starts, and presses a hand to Stede's back, feels the sheen of sweat against his palm. "F-fuckin' amazing b-boss-"
Beneath him, Stede shudders and Izzy swallows thickly.
"Good," Ed purrs. Izzy lifts his eyes to see him pinching at the head of his dick. He looks a vision, hooded eyes and strands of hair falling around his face - Izzy grinds into Stede again, slower, and relishes the moan that falls from Stede's lips. "And you, love?" Ed asks, looking at Stede. "How do you feel?"
Stede shudders again and Izzy sees him clench his fist. "Like this-this is dragging on," he bites out.
His hair is falling into his eyes, his cheeks are reddening, and Izzy tightens the hold he has on Stede's ass cheek, watches as Stede's mouth falls open in a gasp. Izzy wonders what is going through Stede's mind, if this whole thing is ever going to happen again.
If it won't... He'll enjoy what he gets to have.
"Want me to finish it?" Izzy asks. His eyes are fixed on a string of spittle between Stede's lips, but the question is directed at Ed.
The chair creaks as Ed shifts. "Hmm," he says. "Sure. Pull his hair again though."
"Ed!" Stede snaps at Ed's words. "Don't let him-"
Izzy chuckles darkly as he slides his hand from Stede's shoulder into his hair. "What, Bonnet, afraid that you'll like it?"
"I am most certainly *not*-ah!" Stede's voice breaks when Izzy tightens his grip again, punctuates the hold with a snap of his hips. "Fuck-"
"As you wish," Izzy grins and fucks into him properly.
He uses his grip on Stede's hair and hip as leverage and thrusts blindly, urgently into the warm body stretched out beneath him. Izzy breathes in sharply through his nose, strained as he keeps pace, chases his orgasm, inching closer and closer, bit by bit.
He doesn't remember when he last had a fuck this good.
The fact that it's *Stede* writhing underneath him, scrabbling at the desk, only makes it that much sweeter, the noises that he makes -
Izzy grinds into him again, feels him clenching, the moan against the desk reverberating down into Izzy's dick, and that does it-
With another couple of thrusts, Izzy tips over the edge, feels his balls tighten. An electric spark of pleasure winds it's way into his extremities, and he spends, drawn out and with a too-loud moan. He feels Stede tighten around him, clenching, and it makes him stutter out another few thrusts before collapsing on Stede's back.
tikli@sweveris I think Stede does have some romantic feelings for Izzy, but they are buried so deep that he thinks he has none. I’m not sure if Ed’s picked it up either, because Stede’s been covering it with all his other issues with Izzy.
But I’m sure it’s nothing Izzy can’t dislodge by fucking him. It’ll float up to the surface eventually. It’ll be embarrassing for them both, too.
@tikli Oh that's absolutely how I'd usually write it! I'm curious how this vote will pan out
