Hey guess what? My 1st submission to the Our Flag Means Death 2023 Reverse Big Bang is finally live!! I've posted the full giant piece over on my ao3 (@ VillainousThoughts) along with a big image description. These two close ups are of our lovely leading boys, in full magical AU glory! I had so much fun designing and detailing this piece, and I hope you can enjoy all of it!

by me, Ash, your friendly neighbourhood villain (@aha-my-villainous-thoughts and @eye-scream-girls)

Without being too much, I really appreciate all of my amazing mutuals and supporters through the last few months of working on this project and being in this fandom! I've never been as accepted and celebrated as I have for my own work, and it's been so magical to share with so many of you wonderful and insane people! Truly the best found-family crew one could hope for, whether it's screaming in the tags, sending me the *best* prompts for lingerie Ed possible, or just being the super sweetest, kindest, most uplifting moots in the messages possible.

Thank you all so so much, this is my love letter to every one of you who I have had a chance to bond with through this madcap journey to S2 (and beyond!)

Sorry I'm gonna keep plugging my big blackbonnet wytch AU until you're all sick of it 🪷

As familiars, I cast Lucius as a fancy pigeon with the fabulous foot feathers and Izzy as a pissed off street cat with a stump for a tail.

Although I'm regretting not giving Lucius a little neckerchief to match Stede, missed opportunity!
