Snip from Chapter 2 of When I think about you...

Ed learns of the whole "go suck eggs in hell" business, and he has some thoughts and feelings about it...

#wipwednesday
He leans back in his chair and takes a long pull of his pipe. The smoke fills his lungs, that familiar acridity instantly smoothing the edges of his constantly jangling nerves. He lets the smoke lazily curl from his nostrils as he shunts his first mate out of his mind and steers his thoughts back toward the Gentleman Pirate. Maybe Ed should be a bit pissed about his refusal to meet. He's got a reputation to uphold, after all. (He doesn't think too hard about how that reputation has become an albatross around his neck; about how maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he could rid himself of it entirely, just shuck it off like a snake sheds its skin so he can wriggle away, smooth and sleek and new.) He should be furious, really. Should be fucking livid. But… well, the truth is, he's not. He's plenty of other things. Intrigued. Curious. And fuck, okay, yeah, kinda horny.

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.

This story means the world to me. This is the beach I was standing on when the idea for this fic popped into my head almost fully formed.

Gower is such a beautiful part of the world and it was so joyful being able to bring Ed and Stede here for a time

For #wipwednesday here's a snippet from my upcoming #FallFrontFriday festival fic.

We're taking a tour of season 1 via the medium of wanks. This is from chapter 1, set post ep2. Stede is enjoying some alone time with a bodice ripper...
Stede's brow furrows. He's never really understood the appeal of kissing in the french way. Seems remarkably unsanitary, really. It's certainly not something that he and Mary ever deigned to explore. He shrugs, refocusing once more on the page. Captain Daniels divests himself of his shirt, eliciting a gasp from Eliza. Stede palms himself through his breeches; his silk-clad toes curl as he rubs his hardness. Eliza's undergarments fall to the floor, exposing her breasts and their "rosy pink buds." Stede fumbles to turn the page with one hand, the other currently preoccupied with opening the fastenings of his fall front. He grunts in exasperation as the book slips from his hand and hits the floor with a thud. Shit. Well, at least now he has two hands available to tackle what suddenly feels like far too many fucking buttons. He makes quick work of freeing his arousal from the confines of his breeches, folding the flap of fabric away from his erection, before retrieving the book and hurriedly finding his place again.

Ooh, I have a cheeky 'spend'. This is shortly after Ed learns that The Gentleman Pirate told him he could suck eggs in hell btw...

#WIPSnips
It doesn't take long. Ed comes into his fist with a stifled grunt. The muscles of his belly twitch as the warmth of his own spend splatters across the strip of exposed skin.

They did 😭😭😭

I may also have been having Thoughts about this lately
Thankfully, Stede had caught hold of his senses before he had done something truly stupid. They had bid each other goodnight and parted ways, with Stede's dignity mercifully in tact. Only… when Stede had turned to take one last look at his friend, he had done the same, hadn't he? Their eyes had caught across the deck, and the moonlight had sparkled in Ed's hair, and in another universe maybe…

She was an icon in the 90s and she is an icon now. I mean, look at these lyrics - legendary behaviour!

I have a few of these in my current wip.

In this scene, set after 1x04, Ed is remembering (and maybe embellishing upon) the clothes swap while he enjoys a bit of alone time

#wipwednesday #ofmdfic #ofmdnsfw
Fuck it. It's Ed's fantasy. For the next few minutes, he's gonna let himself believe that Stede would have welcomed his touch. Perhaps he'd even pressed into it. Yeah, maybe Stede's ass had made contact with Ed's groin, a barely audible sigh of "Ed" sneaking out of his throat. And maybe Ed had snaked his hand around Stede's hip, over the flesh of his belly (the bandages wrapped around Stede's middle appear to have fucked off, but Ed's not gonna get hung up on little details like that right now), fingers burying themselves in Stede's happy trail. "You want this?" Ed had murmured into Stede's ear, voice low and filled with promise. "Yes," Stede had whined, and that had been all the permission Ed had needed to slide his hand lower. He had groaned as he had discovered Stede's cock, hard for him, swaddled in layers of amber silk. He got a good feel for the shape of it, knew quickly that it was gonna feel so fucking good in his hand. Knew that it would feel even better in his throat, or buried deep in his ass.

He strokes his half-hard cock, trying to coax himself back to fullness. He would quite like to enjoy an orgasm, after all. Seems like a lot of faff for very little reward, otherwise.

A snip from a new thing I've started noodling on, which is kind of a 'season 1, but retold from via the medium of a series of wanks'

This moment takes place around s1e2. Stede is enjoying a smutty novel and a bit of alone time...

#ofmdnsfw #wipwednesday
He coats his right hand in oil, careful to keep his left hand clean so that he doesn't leave greasy fingerprints across the pages of the book, which he picks up once more. He strokes himself in earnest, the slide now perfect. Eliza is crying out for Captain Flint to take her, to make love to her. Stede's hand speeds up as Captain Flint presses into her, his own eyelids fluttering closed. He allows the book to fall from his hands, this time not caring where or how it falls. He has no intention to retrieve it. His thoughts drift to Captain Flint, to the flex of his biceps as he holds himself above Eliza. What does she see as she gazes up at him? Coarse chest hair, glistening with sweat? Does he look upon her with kindness as he fills her? Stede twists his wrist, groaning with the pleasure of it. Does Captain Flint make such sounds as he takes his own pleasure in his lover? Does it rumble through him, deep and low? Can Eliza feel the vibrations of it in her own body?

Ed and Stede try something new. There's just one problem. Ed can't seem to keep it together...

Screenshotted text. Dickfuck, no. He squeezes his eyes shut. He needs to get himself the fuck under control. Knots. He'll think about knots. Boring, mundane, deeply unsexy knots. He pulls back. Cleat hitch. Pushes in. Bowline knot. Stede groans, and the timbre of it sends an arc of pleasure down Ed's spine, travelling through him with the violence of a lightning strike. He gets in a few more thrusts (Anchor hitch. Carrick bend. Chain splice), keeping it together by sheer force of will. He opens his eyes and finds his gaze locked with Stede's. Fatal fucking error; Stede's eyes bore into him, flaying him open, instantly throwing him off his game. A wave of pleasure crashes over him. His balls draw up tight. Fuck. His hips falter. Shit! Fucking clove hitch, heaving line knot, figure EIGHT — He comes. Barely half a dozen thrusts, and he fucking comes. Tags for Breaking the Seal by temporal-discounting. Relationship Ed/Stede.

Whenever I feel myself slipping into despair about the state of the world, I remember that there are people out there spreading joy by crocheting hats for post boxes. And then things don't seem quite so bad.

One last #wipwednesday snip before I let this loose for #ofmdwhoopsweekend

Cw: premature ejaculation
The reaction of Ed's body is instantaneous and damned near catastrophic. A sharp bolt of pressure hits him in the base of his spine. His stomach lurches and his balls draw up tight. No. Absolutely fucking not! He clamps a hand around the base of his cock in an effort to stem the orgasm threatening to tear through him. It helps a little, though he still feels as if he's teetering on the edge of a cliff; one stiff gust of wind will be enough to tip him into free-fall. Tears of frustration spring to Ed's eyes unbidden as he pulls out. Perhaps he can play it off as teasing, make a thing out of it. It could be sexy, maybe? He squeezes his eyes closed and bites down on his tongue, hoping that the pain will stave off the inevitable. It's no good, though. He's no longer teetering on that cliff edge. He's suspended in mid air, feet flailing against nothing, already well past the point of no return.
