Blackbeard giving me hella hair envy

booping his prostate

Just realized it's been a bit over a month since I first posted my favorite fic I've ever written. "A Timeless Thing" is a reincarnation AU (and a pretty quick read at 5k words) where Ed and Stede's happy ending in the 1700s gets cut heartbreakingly short and they reunite in their next life. It's deceptively sweet, I promise, with a heartbreaking start but a very loving finish.

Little preview of the soulmate-y goodness:

I love how big Ed's emotions are.

I love that he feels things so intensely. When he's excited, his whole body is bouncy and wiggly, his gestures big and his entire face lighting up. When Stede agreed to run away with him in s1e9, the way he has to squirm around and look over his shoulder because he just can't contain the excitement breaks my heart. When he's upset, his pursed lips and his crinkly eyebrows make him look the most pitiful anyone has ever looked ever. You can tell why he had to have the beard - the guy's face is an open book!

I love that he has such a big, vulnerable, loving heart. I love that he'll do anything for love, and he gets tears in his eyes when he argues with his boyfriend, and he knew he had to go make sure Stede was okay after Calypso's Birthday. I can just imagine him as a new captain, having to carefully hide his facial expressions so he could only let out his joy or fear or heartbreak where no one could see him, because he just feels everything so much.

And, most of all, I love that now he's safe to feel things, and show his emotions with all their intensity, and he never has to worry about being judged for it again.

Sleepy morning Ed has Stede Tunnel Vision until he has his seven sugars.

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. Full body shot of Stede sitting on the couch in the captains quarters, dressed in a waistcoat, cravat, and breeches. He smiles, leaning forward to set down his tea cup on the coffee table as Ed staggers in at the edge of the frame. Stede says, “Oh! Good morning, Ed!”

2a. Reverse shot shoulders up of Ed in a nightshirt, hair messy and still looking half asleep. Stede continues off screen: “Come take a seat!” Ed thinks to himself, “Seat?” 2b. Second smaller shot of Ed looking down, noticing something. 2c. A close up of Stede’s lap from panel 1, colors inverted and all the lines gone liquid and wobbly as Ed’s sleepy eyes zoom in. He thinks triumphantly, “Seat!” With a pink heart.

3. Full body shot of Stede on the couch, rearing back in surprise as Ed, exclaiming “Don’t mind if I do!” plops directly down onto his lap. Ed is wearing small cloth shorts under his hiked-up nightshirt and has both bare legs folded on either side of Stede and both arms wrapped around his neck, face buried in the crook of his shoulder opposite the viewer. Stede’s pink and panicked expression is in the forefront, hands raised as if trying to avoid touching Ed’s legs.

4. Zoom out to reveal Olu, Lucius, and Buttons sitting on the other couches around the coffee table, which holds Stede’s cup and a teapot. Olu is lounging on the left, turned sideways with one leg folded up and one elbow on the backrest. His other hand is holding a cup of tea and he is grinning teasingly at Stede and Ed. Lucius is on the right, one leg folded over the other, and continues writing in Stede’s journal as he smirks over at his captains. Buttons sits beside him stock-still and staring. Ed, still slumped over Stede in a loose embrace, begins to snore. Stede’s face continues to get redder and his hands fly around nervously as he stutters “Ed, Ed! Um, wake up, darling! Ed!”

5. The same comic, all together in one image. /end ID

Gettin this out before tomorrows eps - still thinking about that wall slam

(continued on Patreon hehehehe)

ID: 1a. Close up on Stede in his new red shirt, holding a quill in his right hand. He looks up from his work with a furrowed brow as there is a loud crash and clattering of scattered objects offscreen. Stede asks, "Ed? What are you doing?" 1b. Reverse shot, full body of Ed, dressed down in his black undershirt, leather trousers, and boots, posed awkwardly against a standing wardrobe. He is leaning back against it, legs too far out and shaking with the effort from his core, one arm splayed against the surface and one arm above his head. On the floor next to him, an ornate golden candelabra has fallen over, holders snapped off and candles rolling away. Ed looks over at Stede, embarrassed, and replies, "Uhh...seducing you? That wasn't expensive, was it?" 1c. Close up on Stede again, smiling at Ed with hooded eyes, quill feather trailing thoughtfully over his cheek. "Oh?" he purrs. 1d. Repeat. Stede startles, realizing the implications, and moves to stand from his seat, flustered, repeating, "Oh!!"

2a. Shot from behind Ed, the wardrobe close up in the foreground and Stede's desk beyond, the cubby bed in the wall between them with curtains half closed. Stede rounds the desk and hurries toward Ed, one hand held out as if to stop him from taking off, shouting "I'm seduced! I'm seduced!" In the foreground, Ed heaves himself off of the wardrobe, leaning forward slightly with one hand braced on the door and the other on his lower back. He says, "Oh, good. Ow." 2b. Shot of them both in profile, knees-up, as Stede reaches Ed, arms held out hesitantly as if waiting for permission to grip his waist. Stede asks, red-cheeked and concerned, "So you...are we ready for this?" Ed grins at him, replying, "I said slow, not glacial, babe." He braces both hands on his back and leans his upper body backwards with a loud 'crack!' Stede mumbles, "Alright?" Ed assures him, "Never better." 2c. Repeat. Ed leans back again against the wardrobe, more confidently this time, back arched, right hand braced above him and left hand at his hip, curling a single finger in a 'come hither' motion. He grins up at Stede through his eyelashes and teases, "Hop aboard, Captain." Stede immediately straightens up, eyes going wide and face burning red.

3a. Zoom in, waist up. A blur of motion as Stede rushes forward, gripping Ed by the front of his shirt with both fists and pushing him backwards past the wardrobe to slam into the adjacent wall. Ed reacts with wide-eyed surprise, cheeks flushed, stomach exposed, one hand flying up toward Stede's shoulder. 3b. Repeat. Stede crowds Ed against the wall to mash a passionate kiss against his mouth, fists gripping his shirt tightly beneath their chins. Ed immediately melts into it, eyes closing, right arm looping around Stede's neck and left hand pressed to the side of his throat. 3c. Zoom out slightly as they break the kiss, Stede moving his head back only enough to make eye contact, their noses still overlapping. Stede, looking a bit bashful, asks, "Too much?" Ed smiles giddily at him, flushed and pleased, right arm winding tighter and left hand moving to cup Stede's cheek. Ed replies, "No, no, not at all, mate. I'm into it." 3d. Repeat. Satisfied with the consent given, Stede pushes forward again to kiss at Ed's neck, hands releasing their death grip on his shirt to start moving underneath it, cupping Ed's pecs. Ed lets his head fall back against the wall and throws both of his arms around Stede's neck to keep him close, one leg hiking up against his hip. Ed giggles, still wearing the same silly, satisfied grin, and quips, "Not so much of a gentleman in the sheets, eh?" /end ID

[ID: 1. Ed as a modern day bikie in a full leather jacket with metal spikes and a kraken patch pulls open his jacket, revealing a black tee shirt and a sliver of hairy belly as he stares sensually at the viewer. In a reflection of the opening scene of episode 6, he says, “run me over”. 2. We zoom out to see Stede speed in on his custom teal motorcycle, screaming in fear, and hit Ed straight-on with the front wheel. Ed goes flying, a huge smile on his face. /end ID]

There's nothing in canon that doesn't translate perfectly into the bikie au

Saw this post and thought of Them. (drawn before s2 premiere lol)

ID: Full body of Black Pete sitting on an overturned crate, arms gesturing to one side as if in the middle of speaking. Lucius is laying on his stomach on the floor nearby, hands propped on his chin and feet kicking behind him as he gazes lustfully at Pete with a smile and a floating heart by his head. Pete pauses and looks over at him as Lucius says, in the form of a screenshotted tumblr post from hatesuneenjoyer, "Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt your infodump, but do you mind if I suck you off while you talk? I think you really deserve it. :)" /end ID

CUDDLE! 👏 POST! 👏 bc they deserve it. Zoom in!! ID in alt and under cut bc loooooong.

[ID: doodle dump of the OFMD couples canoodling. 1. Chest up of Ed and Stede laying in bed fast asleep, both wearing fancy nightgowns. Stede is on his back, one arm behind his head and the other resting on Ed’s waist where he is draped over Stede’s chest with his hand over his heart. Ed’s beard is just beginning to grow back in and Stede has some ginger scruff of a similar length. They look as though they are sleeping deeply for the first time in their lives. 2. Full body of Stede and Ed in bed, laying over the covers and giggling together. Stede is wearing a nightgown and has his back mostly turned toward the viewer, legs tossed over Ed’s hips and kicking happily. His arms are tucked between them and he is blushing with a grin, eyes closed, as they press their foreheads together. Ed, seemingly wearing nothing at all, has his knees tucked up under Stede’s and one hand laid over his arm. He is grinning happily, equally flushed, and staring at Stede’s face with loving eyes. His beard, though still rather short, has begun to take shape and Stede is clean shaven. 3. Chest up of Stede big-spooning a sleeping Ed in their bed, the state of their facial hair the same as #2. They are both under the covers, Ed shirtless and Stede in a nightgown, Ed’s hair and arms strewn comfortably over the right side of the bed. Stede has his face pressed closely to Ed’s neck and is smiling contentedly, squeezing a handful of Ed’s tit with his free hand. Text above him reads “titty grab” with a few hearts. 4. Full body of Lucius reclining on some supply bags with Pete laying against his side, head and right hand on Lucius’s chest. They are both dressed down, sans jacket vest and belt, but clothed. Lucius’s right arm is around Pete’s shoulder and Pete’s left arm is sneaking up to hold Lucius’s right over his stomach. Their legs are tangled together comfortably and Lucius is placing a kiss on Pete’s head. Pete, eyes closed in bliss, smiles. 5. Waist up of Ed and Stede laying facing each other in bed, both shirtless with the covers pulled up over them. Stede is asleep, eyes closed and lips slightly parted, his left arm draped over Ed’s waist and the other trapped beneath the pillow, hand laid just behind Ed’s head as if he had fallen asleep petting his hair. Ed is still awake and flushed with love, right arm laid over Stede’s to drape over his back, left arm squished in the negligible space between them as he extends his fingers slightly to nudge Stede’s chin. Ed is so close to Stede that their noses are overlapping and staring at him with heartbreaking tenderness and love, the tiniest and most content of smiles gracing his mouth. 6. Full body of Oluwande and Jim standing together fully clothed and kissing. Jim has their arms thrown around his neck, hands in fists, and is smiling into the kiss despite themselves. Olu is leaning hard into the contact, flushed and always a bit surprised, arms loosely fitted around Jim’s waist. /end ID]

going through my art files and found this months old thing abandoned on a huge white canvas its breaking my heart. what the fuck why did i do tht to him

with the way this show progressed, we'd have seen Ed's bare ass as the first scene of s3

Ed + 💜Giggles💜 For @snake-snack-stede 🎉💖. Happy Birthday, dear Olivia! All the sets I've gifted to you seem to have quite the ongoing theme to them, and with good reason; you make me laugh so, so much, and brighten my day whenever I stumble across your silliness. Your memes and musings have taken me out numerous times, and I'm so thankful to have a light like you within the fandom. I'm so glad you're here, love you, and hope you have a wonderful day!

I really think that if Stede had found Ed sooner in s2... before he got uh, beaten to "death"... their conversation wouldn't have been much worse than the one they had in fun & games. Ed would have probably locked himself in the captains quarters and sulked while Stede talked to him through the door. And eventually unlocked it to let Stede in... maybe to just let Stede sit with him a little and so he can scowl at him and let him know how angry he still is!!!! And he's not happy to see Stede again not at all!!! Ignore the little smile that forms on his face whenever Stede tells a joke! you're imagining it!!!
