ok, FOR REAL this time: next rwylm chapter coming your way some time in the next couple days (thank you all for bearing with me as i've dragged my body through the desert of revisions...)

in the mean time, have a bit of prequel -- on their second day of being married, ed & stede go house shopping 💜
LALLA LETS THEM INTO THE HOUSE (SERIOUSLY, ED DOES NOT LIKE THE WAY THAT PORCH CREAKS UNDERFOOT) AND THE INSIDE ISN’T MUCH BETTER BUT WITH EACH ROOM, ED KNOWS STEDE IS ONLY FALLING MORE IN LOVE THE LIVING ROOM FLOORS ARE WARPED AND CREAKY, THE WHOLE ROOM ON A SLANT, AND ED CAN TELL THERE’S WATER DAMAGE THAT’S BEEN COVERED UP AROUND THE EDGES OF THAT ONE WINDOW. BUT THE FIREPLACE, AND THE BUILT IN BOOKCASES, AND THE ORIGINAL HARDWOODS MAKE STEDE PRACTICALLY SWOON THE STOVE DOESN’T HAVE A HOOD VENT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE NONE OF THE APPLIANCES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SINCE AT LEAST THE 80S (EXCEPT, MYSTERIOUSLY, THERE IS A DISHWASHER, WHICH ED HAS NEVER HAD AT ANY OTHER PLACE HE’S RENTED) BUT STEDE CALLS THE CHECKERBOARD FLOORS CHARMINGLY VINTAGE, AND HE’S ALREADY PLANNING WHAT HERBS HE’LL GROW IN POTS ALONG THE WINDOWSILL AND THEN THEY GET UPSTAIRS. AND THERE’S ONLY ONE BEDROOM. NOT EVEN AN ESPECIALLY LARGE ONE. LALLA STAYED DOWNSTAIRS TO GIVE THEM THEIR SPACE, AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME STEDE FALTERS. HE GLANCES AT ED. WELL, DAMN. SUPPOSE THAT WON’T WORK ED: YEAH, THAT’S… THAT’S UNFORTUNATE, MAN ED IS TORN BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THIS HOUSE IS DEEPLY IMPRACTICAL ON SO MANY LEVELS. BUT THERE’S A PART OF HIM THAT DESPERATELY WANTS TO SAY THEY CAN JUST SHARE. WORKED OUT LAST NIGHT, DIDN’T IT? STEDE’S LOOKING DEJECTED NOW. AND THEN HE PEERS AROUND THE CORNER IN THE BATHROOM. AND HIS WHOLE FACE LIGHTS UP AGAIN ED LEANS OVER HIS SHOULDER TO LOOK. YOU’VE GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING THERE’S A CLAWFOOT TUB IT’S THE KIND WITH THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE SHOWER, AND ONE DAY IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE ED WILL CURSE WHOEVER INVENTED CLAWFOOT TUBS TO BEGIN WITH BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE TIME HE CLIMBS IN AND OUT OF THAT THING TO SHOWER HE FEELS LIKE HE MIGHT DIE, BUT STILL. HE CAN’T NOT DO THIS FOR STEDE, MAKE ANOTHER ONE OF HIS SMALL WISHES COME TRUE LET’S DO IT, HE SAYS TO STEDE STEDE, EYES SHINING—NOT DARING TO HOPE: YEAH? ED: YEAH. ONE BEDROOM’S…FINE. WE CAN MAKE IT WORK. PUT A PULLOUT COUCH IN THE LIVING ROOM MAYBE. THAT’S FINE FOR ME STEDE FROWNS: ED, NO. HE HESITATES, THEN SAYS: WELL. IT WASN’T SO BAD, LAST NIGHT—WAS IT? SHARING A BED? ED’S HEART HAS STOPPED BEATING IN HIS CHEST. HE’S SO, SO STILL. ED, SLOWLY: NO…THAT WAS. OKAY. STEDE: AND WE ARE MARRIED, AFTER ALL PRIVATELY, ED IS LIKE…AND????? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT STEDE????? STEDE: SO IF YOU WOULDN’T MIND… IF IT WOULDN’T MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE… ED BLURTS OUT: NO I’D BE OK WITH IT STEDE’S A LITTLE STARTLED BY HOW ABRUPTLY HE SAID IT: SHARING? ED SHRUGS, TRIES TO BE COOL: YEAH. MIGHT BE ALL RIGHT. WE’RE GROWN UPS STEDE SMILES, A LITTLE MORE CONFIDENT NOW. RIGHT. FRIENDS SHARE A BED ALL THE TIME SOMEONE FUCKING KILL ED, PLEASE. JUST PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY ED: YEAH, NO PROBLEM. STEDE IS BEAMING AGAIN: I’LL GO TELL LALLA! HE GOES THUNDERING DOWN THE STAIRS. ED TAKES ONE MORE MOMENT TO STARE UP AT THE CEILING AND WONDER IF HIS MOTHER IS RIGHT AND HE’S RUINING HIS OWN LIFE

This is a dream come true, I've watched it way too many times already 😍 The fact that Taika directed it is the icing on the cake.

Finally, we have another Ed POV as we get a glimpse of our favorite emotionally heathy alpha having some feelings of his own.

After a long break, here something new from the otters from #OtterFlag . I honestly don't know why I didn't come up with that banger of a joke earlier, given Ed's canon love for Lavender soap. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #GentleBeard #GentleOtter
Two Panel Comic strip of the Pirate Otters. Stede is in the background, rummaging through a chest with toiletries, searching for Lavender soap. Ed sits in the foreground looking innocent. Stede says: "That's so weird! I could have sworn that there was at least one bar of Lavender soap in there." The second panel shows Ed burping a lavender soapy hiccup. Stede just looks on in understanding very mild irritation.

Stede really loved this outfit. That’s why he loaned it to his future husband so they could go on an arson date.

A digital drawing of Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death wearing the purple outfit that he loaned to his good pal Edward before he took him on a date and soft dommed him and then committed arson because some French people made him pouty. Stede posed like a sassy pin up model with his hands on his hips and his left leg poked out and a grin on his face.

I'm really fond of this Stede. I love drawing him silly, loud, bitchy. But being trusted to illustrate when he slows down and reflects and finds himself just sits with me forever. 🥹 Thank you to Kalan (and so many authors in our community) for giving me quiet Stede moments. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Digital drawing of Stede from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing a modern green flannel and a blue and orange puffy vest. He has a full beard. He's holding a shed deer antler. A rosy maple moth in bright pink and yellow has landed on the tip of the antler. Stede is looking down at it and smiling. It's a quiet, reflective moment in the forest. The world around the moth is muted, desaturated. Warm vibrant color is spreading out from the moth.

The Wound That Woke the Kraken, #OFMD fanart, one of my favourite pieces and I think the only one I've ever named 🤔

Busily working on NDA things so pardon the reposts! ❤️
Blackbeard tarot card painting from OFMD. He stands waist deep in the ocean, eyes closed in pain. A kraken tentacle emerges from the sea and has begun circling him. A rapier pierces his heart, where he holds a swatch of red cloth that resembles blood. The sword points to a distant lighthouse on the horizon

Silhouettes of Ed and Stede in a snowy landscape at sunset. The sky is blue, orange, and pink, and there are trees in the background. It's snowing, and you can see the breath, which is blooming into a heart shape. The words "Cheers to 2026" are in the lower right corner of the illustration.

Have a little WIP Wsunday bit of a Seaglass thing that I WILL finish at some point if my brain ever returns from its holiday. 🐙🦈
"You close?" Ed asks when he's about at the point of it being too late, huffing the words quietly and urgently against Stede's sweating neck, and Stede laughs in that way he's got that somehow doesn't make Ed feel laughed at—just, soft and sweet and fucking tender with his fingers curling in the back of Ed's hair to lift him out of his hiding place. "No? Are you?" "Yeah," Ed admits, still pounding away with increasingly more erratic jerks of his hips. Stede's gentle amusement turns into a giggle. "Edward," he says, pretending to be annoyed but absolutely not succeeding because he looks far too pleased with himself behind the mask of wrinkled nose and scrunched eyebrows. "We only started two minutes ago!" "Yeah, but I'm pretty drunk and you're really fucking hot," Ed complains. He lightly slaps Stede's thigh, both legs raised to clutch like a greedy fist around his waist. "Look at this. Two fucking sexiest legs on Planet Earth. You're lucky I made it two minutes." Stede snuggles his head deeper into the floppy feather pillow and tugs a tiny bit harder at the back of Ed's hair to make some space between their faces, enough for some eye contact. He's all flushed and sweaty and absolutely thrilled with himself, like he's done something on purpose to earn this and it's not just because he's some kind of weird posh blond gorgeous sexual kryptonite to Ed's dick without even trying. "It's okay," he says, and that fucking dimple flashes into being in the gold-silver scruff of his stubble. "Go on." "What, come?" Now his grin is showing the wonky line of his pointy teeth. "If you need to." Ed scowls. "No. Fuck off. I'm a famous sex icon. I'm really good at sex. I'll—" His words stutter and stretch into a ragged moan that's not quite a yelp of surprise but not far off it when Stede's eyes crinkle with mischief and he does something probably fucking borderline illegal with his arse, clenching briefly tighter around Ed's buried dick. "You'll what?" Giggling now too, arms trembling to hold his weight up, Ed says, "You're fucking diabolical." "That's slander," Stede says primly, and when does it again a few more times, pulsing around him like a greedy sucking mouth, Ed fucking whimpers like the air escaping a balloon. "See you in court, fucker," he manages, breathless, helplessly laughing. "Seriously, babe. I'll come." "Mmhm," Stede says, starting a slow, even rhythm of muscle crimes. "I said it's okay. Go on, please." Dredging up a last bit of energy from fuck knows where, Ed rears back to sit on his heels, dragging Stede with him by the hips so he's tilted up the length of Ed's thighs and still hot, tight, sweet, fucking maddening around him. The sudden motion surprises him and his legs flail away from Ed's waist in some reflexive attempt to keep his balance, so Ed grabs both opportunity and an ankle, shoving Stede's knee up near his pierced pink nipples. "Menace," he accuses, and turns to sink his teeth into Stede's calf. "At least I'm polite about it." Stede stops his dick torture and wiggles his foot, tensing his calf muscle instead until the careful grip of Ed's teeth slides harmlessly off his skin, leaving a ring of pink indents and a patch of spit that glints in the low lamplight. Ed kisses the mark he made, drawing another little grin onto Stede's face. "Kraken-no?" Stede asks, gently rubbing his thumb across the purple seaglass ring that somehow feels to Ed like it's been on his finger forever even though it's only been two days. They're both pretty drunk, really. It's always fun, one of them throwing the other at the bed and getting some ravishing done, and frequently it's silly, but a certain level of cocktails gets them in an extra-silly, extra-affectionate, competitive, playful, teasing sort of place that Ed only ever wants to leave for the guaranteed thrill of slipping back into it again the next time. "No krakens," he says quickly. "Do it again."
