Summary
“I need to…” He faltered, and Ed shifted towards the edge of the sofa, like he was ready to gather Izzy in his arms any second. He was. He always was. “Brains fucked. Nightmares are back… random fucking anxiety attacks. I don’t know, it’s… it’s coming up to a year and it’s like…” Ed was on his feet then, moving carefully towards Izzy, but still giving him space to finish. “I’m being stupid, I’m hiding it from you. And I don’t want to. I shouldn’t and I don’t want to.” It was the steadiest sentence he’d said, defiant, solid.
Healing wasn’t linear. Sometimes it was two steps forward and ten steps back. But the fact he was stood there now, ready to admit he was hiding, and that he didn’t want that anymore was… huge.
It's been almost a year since Izzy arrived on Ed and Stede's doorstep, beaten, bruised, and almost broken. He's started to settle into this new chapter, but it doesn't mean it all just goes away - he still trips sometimes. But with Ed, Stede and Ivan at his side, his found family surrounding him, and a new baby in his life, there's enough people to always pick him back up again.
