[ewelinakl]

you had me at 'you fucking twat!' 1/7

You'd think months of arguing with his ex-boyfriend/business partner would teach Izzy not to get romantically involved with people he works with. No such luck, though. He's still dumb as rocks. In his defence — have you seen Sam Bellamy???

a fic by yours truly and art by wonderful @reinarandraw created for @ofmd-reverse-bang

[medievill]

I saw this incredible art by googoogojob and blacked out, and then I had written 75k of a 1940s blackbonnet noir!au. go check it out!

[denizbevan]

Story by me!

Art by @whatthefoucault!

IZZY HANDS FIC RECS! (I want em', I've got em')

What is everyone reading in OFMD fandom right now?

I am currently mostly caught up on my 'to read list' and YALL. I'd love more recomendations!! I will take ANYTHING! I will read ANYTHING!

I'd love to start a chat, so I'd love y'all to leave something you've read recently down below!

I've also added some tasty ones I've read recently down below separated by ship! THEY ARE AMAZING!

Frenchie/Izzy:

The Poetry of Flowers: By Aletea [Rated:Teen. Complete]

Frenchie falls hard and fast. It takes Izzy a little while longer to catch up. This is the slow courtship of Izzy Hands, using flowers.

This fic was written for OFMD Aro/Ace Week 2024.

[Personal notes: OMG-It's so *GOOD*. This has a bit of S2, but mostly takes place post S2, if that tempts you, READ IT. This got me back into the hobby Frenchie does in the fic and AHHH]

you steal my breath away: By ChangeTheCircumstances [Rated: Mature. Complete]

Something is clearly off about Izzy, but when Frenchie sees him petting a cat, it finally clicks. Izzy is a fucking witch! In order to protect the crew, Frenchie makes the next obvious step in logic: he has to kill him.

[Personal notes: I feel this one is just 'if you like Frenchie/Izzy, you've READ THIS- but it's so earnest! SOLID fic the 'realizations' on both ends are really amazing and well written, reread it if you have]

Warnings from the Bottom of My Heart: By scrunglebungus [Rated: Teen. Complete]

Izzy likes Frenchie's voice. He appreciates his music and his long pretty fingers as they move across his Lute. He doesn't have a crush. He DOESN'T.

...and if he did, it's not like he's obvious about it.

(Spoiler: He is) AKA: 5 times Izzy is given the shovel talk + 1 time it's given on his behalf

[An alternate S2 fic written before S2! It leans a bit more 'Izzy needs to redeem himself' than I usually read, but all the Izzy & Crew interactions are SO in character it's scary. That and the Captains are so well realized on top of Izzy and Frenchie being great. LOVE IT]

Roach/Izzy:

Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk: bongbingbong [Rated:Mature. Complete]

Of Roach, the scientist - although, that those ghoulish practices he carries out should be called science is a subject on which some might disagree - I feel like I should speak with extreme terror. In laying down those events which transpired during that winter in the turning over of our century, it seems as though on paper they create an impression of little more than a tawdry tale, a freak show in writing for the morbidly curious. It’s no question that I spent a great deal of that time afraid for my life, and for my soul. And yet, I tell you - I have never felt quite so alive as I did during the days I have spent living in the graveyard.

I wonder what this might say about me. What a pair we make.

Izzy Hands dies. Roach brings him back to life. This is the easiest part of the process.

Written for the OFMD Reverse Big Bang 2023, with art from Tarouofthesea!

[Omg. OMFG. I love this fic. I love this Frankenstein'ian/Reanimator fic SO MUCH. It is just SOOOOOOO-! AMAZING characterization, stunning art, the way everything pays off plot/reference-wise! LOVE IT!]

Blackbeard's Roach: bongbingbong [Rated: Teen. Unfinished. 4/6]

What if Roach had ended up on the Queen Anne's Revenge before the events of the show?

(A alternative universe Roach who wears leather and cooks for Blackbeard's crew, and flirts outrageously with their first mate)

[ANOTHER bongbingbong Roach/Izzy fic!!! I love the way bongbingbong writes Roach/Izzy. It's not finished, but I am SO excited to see how it goes! In this one, even though it's unfinished, I feel it GETS the pre-Bonnet life Izzy lived on the Queen Anne. If you like probably autistic Izzy, READ THIS! That, and Roach and Izzy's relationship is SO GOOD. I won't spoil it, but the mutual trust is really strong!]

Stede/Izzy:

The Mount: rainingrenee [Explicit. Complete (WLW smut<3)]

Stede Bonnet enters the Revenge self defence class expecting to learn something.

She meets instructor Butch Dyke Supreme Izzy Hands and gets more than she bargained for.

[God. I love women. This smutty 8k fic is AMAZING and honestly any WLW in this fandom needs some love!]

When It Takes Hold: krill collins (krillcollins)[Explicit: 5/12]

Izzy Hands, a 90s heartthrob turned casting director with an impressively average back catalogue, never foresaw his career trajectory bringing him back to television. He certainly never would've guessed that his big return would be on Strictly Come Dancing. At least it breaks the monotony, even if he's paired with the insufferable twat, the Gentleman of the Ballroom.

It's the kind of fast-paced environment that Izzy was sure he'd long-since grown out of, and he's sure he's not going to make it past the first few weeks. Still, the more he finds himself enjoying it, the more he hopes he'll stay, and he finds himself more in love with life than he's been in years.

Still, the talk of the curse puts Izzy on edge. Bonnet is strangely captivating and seems more interested in Izzy than Edward has in years. Izzy may not believe in them, but that's the thing about curses: once they take hold...

[OMG. OMFG?!?!? Do you know how much I love 'Dancing with the Stars' AU? NO? Well. For every fandom I enter, my first tags I search are 'time loop' 'time travel' and 'dancing'. This fic is EVERYTHING I love about the trope. I have been following this fic from Day 1 and OMG. I love it. Can't recommend it enough]

The Island: triedunture [Explicit: 10/? Updates every Friday-SteddyHands but Izzy/Stede focused]

Stede Bonnet wakes up in the little cottage he and Ed share—except Ed's not there. Izzy is. Stede is somehow stuck in a world where Ed died and Izzy lived. As he struggles to get back to his real life, it becomes clear that things on the island are very different from what he first assumed....

Updates every Friday.

[A fic that, if the premise sounds cool-READ IT! It's a bit out there concept wise, but SO fun, and a great look at how Stede and Izzy interact in a 'do I want him' type of relationship. This fic has been my weekly bed time story, and I can't wait to see how the drama UNFOLDS!]

Notes and tags below the cut

I started counting my words written in March, so my figures from January and February are a rough calculation and I’m probably being too harsh on the final count.

I also had a really stressful few months during a team restructure, so I’ve not been great at keeping an accurate record the whole year, which I regret because it took a lot more time to pull this together because of that.

Read all this and have questions for me? Feel free to send me an ask.

Now I’ve bored you with all my stats, here's the deal for those I’ve tagged below.

Rules: Feel free to show whatever stats you have. Only want to show Ao3 stats? Rock on. Want to include some quantitative info instead of stats? Please do this. Want to change how yours is presented? Absolutely do that. Would rather eat glass than do this? Please don’t eat glass but don’t feel like you have to do this either.

Now for the tags: @dancingwiththefae @ptork66 @artaxlivs @mojowitchcraft @mimisempai @rins-love-wins @insert-witty-user-name-here @lgwilt @dewdropreader @starport-seven-five @cha-melodius @dreamycloud @waterhorseyblues-ao3 @chaos-monkeyy @mirilyawrites @inwantofamuse @dapandapod @dapperwerewolf @gleamingsilence @flootzavut @flordefandom @kell-be-belle @limerental @iwillbringyouruin @flawney @karolincki @jayofolympus @naumaxia-art @rauchendesgnu @pherryt @bravelittlenippa

End of Year Vidding Meme 2023

It's time for the annual round up. I’ve starred co-vids with @periru3!

Love Today (Peau d'âne) [Festivids]

Beverly Hills (Columbo) [Festivids]

Celebrity Skin (Chucky) [Festivids] *

I Can Cook Too (Big Eden) [Festivids]

Your Woman (Ted Lasso)

INHUMAN ILLUSORY SOUL FUSION MAGIC ~ Earth as a Character Gallery ~ (Steven Universe) [Vid Big Bang] *

And So It Goes (Persuasion) [Woman's Place Vid Exchange]

Revolution Rock (Star Wars) [VidUKon]

Odds Are (Sirens) *

Masochism Tango (Star Trek)

Lovely Day (Good as Hell) (Wicker Man) *

Ghost (multifandom) *

Cassandra (Yellowjackets) [Woman's Place Vid Auction]

Golden Boy (Our Flag Means Death)

Destroying Angels (Yellowjackets) [FanWorks]

Favourite Vid of the Year: I think I have to go with the whole vid big bang as my favorite. 3 vids in one (plus extended credits)! It combines two of my favorite things, Steven Universe and Revolutionary Girl Utena and pushed me in a lot of different directions. Really love "Celebrity Skin," too.

Least Favourite: I'm happy with all of them! There are ones I like more or less than others but none I'm really dissatisfied with.

Vid Most Unappreciated By The Universe: I'd love if more people watched "Golden Boy." I'm really happy with it and it's a follow up to a vid that is very well-appreciated by the universe — I wish it were more appreciated. I probably should have saved it for a premiere and not been so impatient to get it out!

Most Fun Vid: I made a lot of silly fun ones with Periru — "Ghost" is probably the silliest.

Vid With The Single Sexiest Moment: Hmmmmm, once again I'm not sure "sexy" is my main vibe. I don't think I even used the moment I found sexiest in this season of OFMD in my vid, lol. I guess I'll have to go with "everything Jennifer Tilly does" in "Celebrity Skin."

Most Successful: Far and away "Beverly Hills." Love how much love there is for Columbo.

Biggest Vid Fail: Mostly just not having a lot of juice midyear! I have a lot of ideas on the back burner that I haven't pulled together yet.

Hardest Vid To Make: "Truth" (the Steven segment of our VBB) was probably the hardest to piece together narratively. There was a lot of back and forth about what we wanted our focus to be. "Cassandra" took a lot of trying things out to get a song that clicked for me, but once I did it went more easily.

Most Unintentionally Telling Vid: I think "Masochism Tango" reveals a lot about how much I like seeing Kirk topless, but so does my bedroom wall. Thematically that vid is not unintentionally telling about me, though, lol — it's about how unintentionally telling Star Trek is about Kirk.

Last Year’s Goals:

- Finish the big Buffy wip I’ve had on the backburner for awhile

I didn't even touch it uggggggggh. Goal for 2024!

- Make something for the None English Fest in February and the Vid Big Bang in March

Done and done! Yay!

- Make a character study vid for a side character

Yes, I had a Nate vid really come out of nowhere and demand to be made.

- This is really up to the vagaries of fate, but I’d like to attend FanWorks in person

This was VERY up to the vagaries of fate. Maybe next year?

Goals For Next Year:

- Finish the damn Buffy vid!

- Continue a vid series

- Attend VidUKon in person (yay!)

My OFMD fic list

Series:

how the west was won and where it got us (a.k.a. the revenge ranch) - ongoing modern AU set at a horse ranch/B&B in rural New Mexico with mostly the whole crew; mainly switching between Oluwande and Jim POV with one-offs for other folks in between. Slice of life stuff, some hurt/comfort, some fluff, one soft smutty story. 21 entries and counting, >150k words(!)

Kitchen Mistakes & How To Avoid Them - 14 chapters/87k words, also known as the "test kitchen AU." Ed/Stede enemies-ish-to-lovers focus with several other pairs/trios featuring. M rated for a little spice. Main work complete as of April 3, 2023. Now a series with one-shots!

We're Gonna Live In The Trees - modern AU in which Stede's a custom treehouse builder in a failing marriage and Ed's a new client who makes him surprisingly flustered. The closest I've gotten to a nice, cozy romance with minimal angst (like, there's SOME angst). 6 chapters, 35k words, complete as of June 16, 2023. There's also a podfic (linked in the notes)! Sequel Rock On To The Oceanside started July 25!

One-shots/single multichapter fics:

the unauthorized biography of ed & stede - in which i work against all my writerly instincts and attempt angst, smut, and messy messy shit for fun. complete with 11 chapters/62.7k words.

the secret middle-aged sad-sack mostly bad vibes I can sing along to playlist - ongoing wip with daily-ish short updates, modern au in which stede gets all my problems, slow fucking burn, baby, rated M. actual playlists and a podfic linked in notes. 60k as of 4/18 and on hiatus.

in a cosmic dress - 2024 Reverse Bang entry based on a gorgeously moody piece of artwork by zaletwisted on twitter. Ed Teach character study in three timelines, all vibes little plot, 9k, rated M.

Gutterballs For Days - The Big Lebowski AU with a twist. Collaboration with art! Rated M, 4 chapters/22k complete as of May 10, 2024!

all that i need is you and the sea - the accidental time travel amnesiac five-part Stede/Ed love story I somehow cranked out over five days. Starts in a post-apocalyptic future and goes way, way back. Rated T, 14k.

an atypical emotional response to common sounds - 6.6k oneshot i dubbed "the misophonia fic." Also my first (maybe only) foray into writing Stede/Ed smut. Also a T-rated sequel due to a controllable irregularity (5k)

Turning Tides 1/11

The death of Calico Jack has shaken the Demon Slayer Corps to its core. It has been a long time since one of the top six demons has been spotted, and even longer since the last time a Slayer ranking as high as Jack has fallen in battle. With part of the Corps going rogue to avenge Jack, the rest struggles to protect their vulnerable core against Prince Ricky's strongest demons. Because if the Republic of Pirate falls, everything will be lost. A co-developed @ofmd-reverse-bang story with words by ewelinakl and art by lustig.
