They needed to be closer, actually

Full color illustration of Ed and Stede sharing an early morning cup of tea on the deck of the Revenge. The timeline is a somewhat nebulous S2, perhaps a “What If” scene. Ed is wearing the pink Depression Robe open and loosely draped across his shoulders, Stede is bare chested and they’re both leaning, pressed tight shoulder to elbow, making moon-eyes at each other. It’s insufferably charming.

The podfic of Big Wheel Keep on Turnin' by @tightenupmate.bsky.social.

Stede has been stuck, stuck in his marriage, stuck in his job, his life. And now? He's stuck in his truck, a 5th wheel trailer behind him, staring down an overpass that sits far too low for him to continue down the highway.

1) Ed's eyes, Stede's nose and chin--how do you get their expressions so perfect even in a scribble?? 💜💜💜

Somehow I am STILL stuck in the car so everyone who voted for horny WIP Wednesday is getting lucky ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Ed has some inconvenient dreams (cw for a la croix’s whisper of somnophilia)

The person behind him was breathing hard. "Fuck," they hissed under their breath. "How could I resist you,
when you're like this?" They rolled into him, deeper and deeper. "You're so hot inside, sweetheart. Feel so good." They
punctuated this with one firm thrust.
Ed's body lolled limp against the mattress. It felt impossibly good, his whole body shivering with it. But he was
too sleepy and gone to do much else but take it. The person struck up a steady rhythm now, unrelenting. Kissing Ed all
over the back of his neck, his shoulders. Murmuring praise.
"So good. So good for me. Can't get enough of you." Teeth bit down slow and firm into the curve of Ed's
shoulder. "You drive me mad, Ed. I love you so much."
Ed woke up all at once.
Painfully hard.
Painfully alert.
Painfully aware of just who it was he was dreaming about.
It wasn't a memory, not exactly. More like...he'd lived a dozen moments, just like that dream. After the dam
broke, after they finally got it together, Stede became insatiable. Well, they both had. But Stede especially. They were
young, dumb, full of come, and in love for the first time. Food tasted better, colors were brighter, and Ed could get it up
three to five times in a couple hour span without breaking a sweat. God help them when their days off aligned—they'd
been known to spend thirty-six hours straight in bed, until their stomachs were growling and the whole house reeked of sex and the rats' nest of Ed's hair had to be combed out with coconut oil. They actually had to replace their bedsheets at
one point, after Ed dug his heels into the mattress so hard while Stede was eating him out, he ripped a hole straight
through them.
And Ed couldn't count the number of times he'd woken up like that, already being fucked— his body warm and
loose and pliant, instinctively opening himself up to Stede, even in his sleep. He'd never trusted anyone like that since.

Ed had thought it would cool down, eventually— the honeymoon era. But it never did. They were always hot for
each other, always grabbing and groping and wrestling on the couch. Right up until the day Ed left.
So good. So good for me. Can't get enough of you.
This time, it wasn't some disembodied voice whispering in Ed's ear, but Stede crowded in close along his back.
The blazing heat of his limbs octopus-ed around Ed every which way—pinning him in place, just the way he knew Ed
liked. Gripping Ed by the thigh to lift his hips up, because he already knew that was the best way to hit that perfect angle that made Ed whimper and cry out. Dragging his lips back and forth across the back of Ed's neck, the way he always used to do, because Ed was ticklish there, and the way it made him shiver and twitch felt good on Stede's dick,
buried deep inside him.
Without his permission, Ed's hand began to creep down the length of his body, reaching for his own prick.
He was already a little wet at the head. Ed gave himself a loose stroke, and he was so hungry for it, his toes
curled-his back arched away from the mattress. His whole body was dewed with sweat.
Out in the hallway, the creak of his mother's footsteps. Ed dropped his dick like he'd been burned, like he was
thirteen and hiding porn under his mattress again.
Fuck. What was he doing? In just a few hours, he was going to see Stede again—he'd be sitting across from
him, within touching distance. Felt like a bad idea, maybe. Starting the day jerking off while fantasizing about the guy.
Tempting fate, or something.
His dick stared up at him, accusatory.
"Calm down," he muttered to it, because obviously he was losing it so yeah— why not talk back to his own
erection?
More footsteps in the hall, followed by Mum's singsong voice. "Eddie? You awake in there? It's getting late!"
Ed closed his eyes and took a long breath through his nose. "Be out in a minute," he called back.

He peeked his eyes open. His dick was still glaring at him, still hard enough to break concrete.
You drive me mad, Ed. I love you so much.
It was going to be a long fucking day.

He's watching Blondie over there, and is immediately, hopelessly enamoured! What ridiculous thing is Stede doing that will have Ed sauntering over in T-minus 2 minutes?

#ofmd #OFMDfanart

Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death posed from the hips up. He's got an expression on his face that looks like a mix between a smirk and an embarrassed smile. He's two seconds away from twirling his hair around his finger. His right hand is curled up around his mouth and his left lies down to his side. He's wearing a pink long sleeved shirt with a snake pattern, and the shirt, his skin, and his dark wavy hair are highlighted in bright neon colors from pinkish red to purple to blue. His hair is half up with a small bun corralling the top half. The background is bright purple.

Actual photo from the day I came this close to driving our 13' RV into a bridge (and had to back it 360° off an entry ramp to escape 😭).

Told @tightenupmate.bsky.social and she somehow magicked it into this perfect fic, toy piano stuck on a loop and all. Poison into positivity, I love it so much!!

photo from a truck dashboard of a highway overpass labeled "11'7" clearance." you can't see it, but the RV attached to this truck is over 13' tall. fuckkkkkkk
