    Summary

    Izzy looks over at Stede, gingerly attempting to coo at a cat that hates him while she shreds his expensive, fancy slippers to pieces. His heart aches in a new and terrible way that has nothing to do with Ed, for once. ‘If you’re sure.’

    The smile Stede gives him is warm, a weighty significance to it that Izzy doesn’t know how to read. ‘I am.’

    Or, Izzy finds himself at the centre of the ocean's weirdest found family, and acquires two boyfriends along the way.

    Summary

    Stede peers over the top of his glasses when Izzy shuffles into the living room, eyes still scrunched up with sleep and absolutely swimming in Stede’s old college hoodie. It’s torn at the collar and has paint splattered across the chest from when they’d decided to redecorate the bedroom after moving into the new house together, but Izzy likes to sleep in it and Stede certainly isn’t about to complain.

    Summary

    This essay is a formal organization of thoughts that have been percolating in my mind after over a year of musing on Izzy’s character. Izzy fans seem to find him relatable for many of the same reasons; we gravitated to the character because we see something of him in ourselves. I hope this essay inspires empathy and compassion for the character and makes anyone else who can relate feel seen. [Originally written for the zine Above All Else: an Appreciation of Izzy Hands]
