[andillwriteyouatragedy]

yeah i wrote another fic in the EVERLASTING SUMMER universe in a fevered haze!! what of it babes!!

behold, queer pirates on their howl's moving castle ship, loving each other & forming a found family & raising a new generation of pirates!!

look. if you're still here at this point you know what this series is about. you know what i'm about. let's not pretend here. i want them to have a ship full of babies and that's what they're going to have.

seriously though, i wrote in the notes on sickly sweet that if you had anything you wanted to see, let me know, and i got like half a dozen responses saying "give them more babies." so......... what was i meant to do???

also i was asked for more fluff, and the twins' first birthday party, and also a very specific request that i did end up using, which is also a warning for this section. if you don't want to be spoiled, don't read the notes, but i put the warnings in the notes at the beginning of the fic on ao3. make sure to read to warn yourself!! i'm just covering my bases in warning on that.

also also like i said. if you're still here. you're probably like me. i am writing this extremely indulgently and i hope everyone enjoys this because i am enjoying it very much. i don't care how indulgent it is. every time i think "is this too self-indulgent?" i am going to make it MORE self-indulgent. just watch me. i swear i will

thank you for supporting me and going on this journey with me, i got lots of fun comments last time and also lots of fun ideas so i'm looking forward to continuing to add to this series!! obviously i'm mildly addicted so!! i'm glad you're all here with me in my madness!!

anyways, enjoy my fic where i really just want to cover pirates in babies for a few thousand more words!! another fic in the 'romanticize a quiet life' (aka 'an everlasting summer') universe!!!!!

read 'now and forever more' on ao3!!

crew of the revenge halloween party where everyone goes as a different flavor of captain bonnet:

wee john goes as stede’s fancy party powdered wig 1.05 look (but with more glitter)

frenchie replicates the cursed red suit (it’s only a replica tho so it’s fine, it’s not cursed, don’t worry you guys)

jim goes as all-white gut-stabbed 1.03 stede complete with a loosely tied piece of rope around their neck. remember in 1.06 when they fake tortured a dummy during the fuckery? imagine that much gusto being put into pretending to be stede getting hanged to death at random intervals throughout the party

olu goes as leather pants + slutty blue shirt stede and honestly? he kinda wears it better than stede does

zheng goes as the same stede but with a wooden board tied to the back of her pants to commemorate the time she publicly spanked planked him

fang goes as stede wearing ed’s leathers. this costume involves putting flour on his face to simulate how stede was suffering from severe blood loss in that episode

the swede goes as classic pilot episode teal suit stede and does a dead-on stede impression (picture stede in the background huffing “i don’t sound like that!” and ed kissing his cheek and lovingly saying “yes you do, babe”)

roach goes as 2.01 broke era stede. this costume also involves a pillow and a blanket and occasionally moaning “ed, oh ed” out loud

lucius goes as 1.08 stede pulling an all-nighter to stare at ed and jack through a telescope. nightgown, pink robe, makeup to emulate the bags under stede’s eyes, gripping a telescope for dear life (stede tries to argue “it wasn’t all night” but olu is like “no i was there, it was literally the entire night”)

black pete goes as 1.02 stede with his shirt all ripped up (ed voice: man it’s a good thing he’s already dead bc i could literally kill izzy for not telling me about this)

ed goes shirtless and wears an orange skirt. the crew is like “that’s not a stede costume” and ed’s like “no listen ok. one time i had a dream where stede was a mermaid.” the crew is understandably confused and ed’s just like “had to be there ig” and they’re like “had to be there… in your dream?” and he’s like “yeah.”

archie panics bc she hasn’t known stede for long and everyone took all the good ones that she was actually there for. jim offers suggestions but it’s all s1 stuff and archie’s like “i can’t do the treasure hunt look, i wasn’t there.” eventually she gives up and just shows up fully nude and is like “im stede on the night of calypso’s birthday”

about halfway through the halloween party buttons shows up and de-birds himself, at which point archie sees that buttons is there and is also naked and is like “bro no fair, i called dibs on this stede costume!”

[poison-into-positivity]

gypsy taylor confirmed that the teal morning after robe was the one piece of clothing of Stede’s that Ed didn’t burn and kept as “some little memory of Stede” i am going to be SICK

My Whippoorwill boys happy and together again! Stede is feeding Ed cheezits, and they are absolutely, desperately, blissfully in love 🧡

Artwork by the amazing, incredible, wonderful, delightful @smolbus!!! Thank you!! This makes my heart so happy!

Moonstone Mage Championship [350k+]

[Magic/Fantasy AU, Slow Burn] [E, COMPLETE]

When Ed gets heckled by Stede during a magical performance, his plans are to shout at the guy and never see him again. Turns out, Stede is as insane as Ed, and a surprising turn of events leads to Ed teaching the hot ding dong how to get better at magic. Can they get through the deadly Moonstone Mage Championship? Three Challenges - there can only be one winner!

[read it here on ao3]

[jaskierx]

also we agree stede and ed kept the uniforms to have absolutely nasty roleplay sex in right

[lumiilys]

Love reading fic from before s2 aired when it was largely believed that Ed would be furious with Stede when he saw him again and either attack him or avoid him like the plague etc etc. meanwhile in canon Ed couldn’t stay angry with Stede for even a day and folded the moment Stede said one nice thing to him!

[naranjapetrificada]

if you plan to talk about Ed and Stede's bodies in fic look at this image first

so that I never have to read someone describe Ed as "several inches taller than [Stede] and at least a stone heavier" or anything like it again.

now where is that post about how with interracial couples fan artists twinkify white characters and depict their nonwhite partners as taller and larger than they are

I recently won a fic commission in the "Our Flag Means Pride" charity raffle by @adoptourcrew

Thank you to the hugely talented @ferventrabbit for donating her time and skills to writing this gorgeous piece for me 👏🔥 Go read it!

Thank you to Fidi @fidisart as well for the art that inspired it 💕 (give that some love too, linked below!)

Rating: E Summary: Ed notices Stede looking at him more than usual, leaving them both a bit hot and bothered. He proposes a failsafe plan to give them both a reset. What could go wrong? Set sometime between 2x05 and 2x06

my wife asked what tailor ed’s tats might look like ✂️✨👀

Looking for a fake dating AU in a modern setting? This is the story for you! This explicit 15K word, 5 chapter (plus a sweet epilogue!) story features a classic friends-to-lovers tale starring notable lovable idiots, Edward Teach and Stede Bonnet, and is filled with shenanigans, intrigue, and maybe even a ghost or two! Story presented as-is, but a happy ending (both literally and figuratively) is guaranteed.

Or, Ed and Stede decide to crash open houses together to partake in three of their favorite activities: being together, being judgey, and being annoying theater gays. But while they may be having a great time playing pretend, they come to discover that their emotions are very, very real.

Written for the AUgust 2024 Day 17 prompt "realtor."

This story is complete and will be updated daily.

Read chapter one here.

🌅 love, i see you now 🌅

💕 part 8 of romanticize a quiet life!! 💕

this is a soft, sweet lil emotional h/c fic that got away from me!! stede has a little crisis, ed comforts him, and their kids are ���🥹🥹🥹🥹 the best little support squad!!

like!! whew!! okay!! look i had a thought and then that thought made me open a document and then i wrote this entire fic into that document at once. i read it through once and did some editing but really. this comes from the heart.

this is where stede has a lot of emotions about being a dad and who he is and what he's up to!! and ed taking care of him and the two of them communicating!!!! and they hug a bunch and the kids are there!!!!!! it's really just a sweet little thing i don't know how it ended up over nine thousand words. but. here we are!!!!

enjoy enjoy enjoy!!! i love you!!!!!!

read 'love, i see you now' on ao3!!

[saltpepperbeard]

so you know how ed wore his hair like this:

and we all took severe damage over how jaw-droppingly gorgeous he is?

and you know how stede never got to see him like that (in a healthy, happy way)?

may or may not have rectified that in a fic, and then some.

GUYS I MADE THE CAKE

The cake topper caused some sliding But 🥹

[crownspeaksblog]

"He went mad, he tortured the crew, he took my fucking leg, cause i dared to mention your fucking name!"

Goddamn! This line! This line scratches a part of my brain in way that makes me sorta wish we had gotten a full season of angst (I'm glad we didn't though, i wouldn't be able to handle it) but my GOD it's just so good!

Con O'Neills acting and delivery in this scene is just amazing! The way he says "he took my fucking leg, cause i dared to mention your fucking name!" Like the words are seething out of him, he slams the bottle in his hand on the desk, like he can't fucking believe it, can't believe that ed, the man he's probably known from DECADES, would just shoot him, so easily, just for daring to utter fucking stede bonnets, fucking NAME out of his mouth!!

And it's not just cons delivery, it's the ed and stede angst of it all! It's the way ed is caught of guard with izzys audacity to even say "talk it through" the way stede used to say it. It's the way ed wouldn't accept hearing izzy say stedes name or mention eds feelings for stede, let alone infront of the crew. It's the look on eds face and the way he nodes his head like this is what you get, the second he shots izzy!

But yeah, that line is the epitome of brain scratching for me! Go listen to it again. I'm not giving this line the justice it deserves, go listen to it again!! It's glorious!

Hello! I was wondering if you had any Gentlebeard fanfic you would recommend on ao3? Ideally a nice slow-burn with a few chapters but honestly anything you like would be great - just on the search for more fics to digest. Thank you!

I'd recommend everything by @xoxoemynn and @darcylindbergh if you're looking for some very soft and in character, kinda awkward but also canon compliant, ed and stede ❤️ they've both got a ton of shorter works too. My favourite ofmd fics are:

Witness Marks (unhinged smut, horny clock boys)

Where the Daylight Begins (long but so so good, slow burn, I've read this one 4 to 5 times by now, magical realism and lovable crew on top of lovable ed and stede)

Roll for Charisma (so fluffy and some top quality pining, the plot of the show is their D&D campaign)

The Devil's Panties by @adickaboutspoons (sex pollen but make it so fluffy and earnest that my skin melted off my bones)

Separating Salt from Water by @nonagethimus (one of the tags is homoerotic shark hunting, enough said)

You Belong in that Home By and By (everyone wants Stede, but Stede only wants Ed)

Two Birds @red-sky-in-mourning (very gentle romance tinged with good angst but happy endings)

Grounded (fluffy smut, stede is something else in darcy's hands, no one gets him this right trust me)

Your Name Like a Boat (the angst oh my god this one still hurts, another one I've read a bunch of times and a very fulfilling ending)

The Kraken's Sacrifice @trinityofone (actual kraken ed and they're so soft and in love, this one is a bit out there but it's so interesting, i finished it in one sitting)

From Gloom to Grace @bizarrelittlemew (pollen but it makes them cuddle is there anything better)

Stealing Romance by @skrifores (I prayed for a realistic jealous ed fic and this one is it)

Little Wonder @ofmd-alsaurus (stede has a tiny dick, ed is really into it, it's funny and sweet)

Only by the Grace of the Sea @palavapeite (hot priest stede, incredible writing, slow burn)

Leggy Blonde You Got in Goin' On by @palavapeite (stede joins a gym, most in character stede I've read in this fandom)

And I'd 100% recommend my own fic 😬 Moonstone Mage Championship (slow burn, fantasy, idiots to lovers)
