Does anyone know of stories featuring Ed and Stede kissing in a wintry forest? Maybe in hiding posing as Croatian farmers with a cat?

(this is a sincere request; also I miss them and everything reminds me of them)

LOVE IN THE FOREST by Ivan Generalić

Two people kiss on a bench in a leafless winter forest. A startled white cat watches in the lower left corner. They have a woven basket and bottle, and the bench is covered with a blanket

This is my favorite time of year. I am not fall's favorite human though. Low sunlight sads got me hard today. Needed to draw a tiny comfy Ed about it.

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Small digital drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing an off-white robe and pants combo. The robe is decorated with tiny gold flowers and vines around the hem and shoulders. He's wearing big brown slippers. His hair is down, falling around his face and down his back. He looks cozy, happy. Could be happier, if he had a hot cocoa.

I am adequate. #OFMD

3 screencaps from OFMD Season 1 episode 2.
Top: Stede having his "I am adequate" moment with his white shirt intact; the profiles of Black Pete and Oluwande on the left and right facing each other.
Middle: Stede acknowledging he enjoyed getting the upper hand with Izzy before he runs away. The neckline of his shirt is torn.
Bottom: Stede standing on the ship with his cut up white shirt exposing his chest and backlit by the setting sun as he ponders being a gentleman and a pirate.

Just look at these!!! They're so sparkly and rainbowy. There's 13 of them left in the reprint run going on right now!!

Unfortunately there's no kitty included, but hopefully you won't hold that against me.

The dancing boys make me so happy!! So sparkly. So in love 💖💖 (no stickers were harmed during the photo shoot, I promise, despite the flexed claw)

Five sparkly art stickers of Ed and Stede dancing with three smaller sparkly stickers of a rosy maple moth, orange slice, and white flower (maybe a water lily from the Calypso’s birthday market?). A brown dog’s fur and a green curtain are in the background

A white and black cat lying in the sun paws two sheets of the same stickers on a light wood floor. They scintillate in the sun, with the silvery sparkles turning rainbow colors in the reflected light

They were rainbowing like crazy in the morning sun!! So pretty! The art is gorgeous on its own, but who doesn’t like rainbow sparkles?

Anyway I keep forgetting to yell about this book when it is 🍂seasonal 🍂 but THE APPLE-TREE THRONE (a little vanity project I self-pubbed in 2018) is also available on Kobo and in audio!

A young soldier returned from war is haunted by the ghost of his commanding officer (a posh git)

"They really just honored that scene, and the thing they brought to it is their natural connection and really playing it honestly with each other, and listening to each other, and the way they look at each other, and how tender they are with each other." #OurFlagMeansDeath
