God, I love BellHands. This ship does not exist. Sam is not in this show. He will probably never be in this show. If he is, he probably won’t look like Jemaine Clement or Matt Berry or Rahul Kohli or any of our fanart. He almost definitely won’t be Izzy’s long-lost husband or newfound love or childhood friend or old rival. There is absolutely no basis for any of this. There are novel-length fanfics. There are common tropes and shared fanon. There are three pages on AO3. That’s more than there are for Izzy with some canon characters. This ship does not exist. This is a shared fever dream. This is our OTP.

I just want Izzy to feel safe with someone. I want him to be held, to be loved, to be appreciated. I want someone to tell him he makes them happy. I want him to be chosen, just him, specifically him, just like he is, again and again and again. I want him to have what he’s given so freely for years. I want someone to see him, see all the places where he’s torn off pieces of himself for someone else’s sake and fill them up with little pieces of their own.

Sam coming back into Izzy's life after so many years, and Izzy doesn't laugh anymore, he doesn't sing anymore, he barely smiles. and it breaks Sam's heart, but he loves the Izzy that scowls and yells and storms around, too. and he'll help him remember how to do the other stuff if he wants

My kink is when Izzy Hands is loved and cherished and treated gently.
