✒️Fic thread ✒️

I write mostly Gentlebeard canon-universe fics - some spicy, some not.

I live for missing scenes and opportunities to ponder the 'what ifs' of it all.

I've been listening to Under the Milky Way today (@the-widow-olivia.bsky.social & my RBB) cuz it's soooo good. If you haven't read or listened you really should.
Like all of Liv's fics it's even better the 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) time. This one is an all time fave ❤️👽🛸🌵

Someone please tell my Alexa that Nirvana is not classic rock 😭

(Yes, I know Cobain died more than 30 years ago but that's not point!)

Scribbly digital cartoon sketch of season 1 Stede Bonnet wearing his teal suit and cunty little black heels with pink bows. He is reverently holding a tiny model of the Revenge, looking down at it with quiet excitement. There is a splash of pink color behind him setting him apart from the plain white background.

Since my art has been doing a lot more numbers lately. I think I should start selling prints. I think I’ll start with a limited run of these guys because they’re just so darn cute #ofmd #ofmdfanart #gentlebeard
Cutie-fied versions of Ed and Stede passed out next to a triple layer cake with several bites taken out. Their bellies are full and they are covered in frosting, both their belts and buttons are undone. The drawing is colored in in shades of red and gray. In the bottom left corner in red is the artist’s signature “Zepp”

Thinking again about our boys sharing a bed after that whole 'can we take it slow' conversation

This remains one of my fave things I have ever written.

It takes a while for Ed to work up the nerve to go introduce himself to this Bonnet guy. Every couple of weeks that building is a new store. Seemingly owned n operated by the same lunatic. Ed finally walks in when it's changed to BONNUT-HOLES: You bring 'em, we fill 'em! #ofmd

deleted scene from my brain you’re real to me
a digital drawing recreating the scene from the dream mentioned in the quoted post. it’s season one ed and stede from our flag means death. ed is “teaching” stede a “sword move” and has him pinned against a wall. there are four speech bubbles that read: ed: and then you can do this lean in with your hips move. stede: oh! ed: Really, uh, distracts your opponent. stede: I see… wow!

Stede often thinks back on that night in the top. Unfamiliar and soft leather on his skin, warm brandy on his tongue, the smell of spiced tobacco permeating every breath. It was as if the sea had risen with them when Ed's waves caught the moonlight just right. They still do.

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's leaning over a railing, one hand is on his chin. Moonlight is catching his silver strands. He's wearing a frilled shirt.

Y’all, Ed ended up looking like a snack and a half in this drawing I did for @ladypenni.bsky.social

I basically need her to stand over my shoulder every time I draw Ed because 😮‍💨

A digital drawing of Edward Teach from Our Flag Means Death wearing most of his leather outfit, minus a shirt. He has a short beard and long windswept hair. He’s posing with one arm over his head and his jacket hanging off the opposite shoulder. He’s making very hot eye contact with the viewer.

Tiny Ed! He saw another pirate's wicked undies fit and needed to have it for himself.

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing his dark tealy blue robe. It has a soft magenta lining. He's also wearing buttoned long-johns undies and a frilled shirt. It's coming untucked and Ed's hand is resting on his upper belly. His hair is pulled into a messy bun.

Happy #FallFrontFriday! I wrote a thingy!

5 times Stede and Ed got off alone, and 1 time they got off together

Or, Season 1 retold via the medium of wanks

Part 1 is up - in which Stede enjoys some alone time with a bodice ripper...

#FallFrontFriday

#FallFrontPanties
Dear Ed, I hope this letter finds you well. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that, despite a few setbacks, the crew and I are well on our way to financial solvency. We've been offered an exciting opportunity to partner with Spanish Jackie—THE Spanish Jackie!—on a new entertainment venture that draws upon my extensive background in the theatrical arts and makes good use of the crew's varied talents. It's a rather saucy performance style that I can only assume originates from France—perhaps in all your travels, you've already experienced this so-called “burlesque”? Jackie has been personally coaching the Swede for his headlining performance, which is, for the moment, shrouded in secrecy (though soon to be un-shrouded, if you get my drift!). The rest of the crew is choreographing their acts, and Wee John has already outdone himself in the area of costume construction. As I have a free moment during a break in our rehearsals, allow me to describe his most recent, ingenious design. Imagine, if you will, a standard set of fall-front breeches, but considerably briefer, if you catch my meaning. And rather than canvas or satin, they are constructed of a rather exquisite lace material. (This detail is, frankly, lost on most of the crew, but I'm certain that you would apprehend its quality immediately!) And to Wee John's credit, when he realized that buttons would pull and distort the delicate material, he constructed quite an elegant system of lacing ribbons on either side of the fall. As you can imagine, this allows the wearer to extend his performance time via the slow unlacing of the ribbons, thus creating maximum anticipation in the audience, and hopefully thereby generating maximum tips (though, even more hopefully, not creating the sort of frustration that could lead to violence! Jackie’z does tend to attract a rougher crowd…) I believe he has just completed construction on the prototype of this intriguing garment, so perhaps soon a lucky crewmember will have the chance to test it out. John won't reveal who the fortunate fellow is to be; when I asked him, he simply said the wearer should be “definitely a show-er” (?) with “great gams” (??). I only wish you were here to elucidate this terminology! Regardless, I can imagine that the effect will be quite invigorating. Perhaps a private showing can be arranged, once we are reunited. Yours, as ever, Stede Bartholomewl Bonnet
