HAPPY OFMD ANNIVERSARY! 🥳 please enjoy a gift from @emcolbs.bsky.social and i: a new collab project, “out of the bag” (aka my tenant au 🐈🏡). tons of fluff, flirting, gentleness, healing, cat shenanigans, and I SWEAR no angst. chapter 1 is up now! 🥰

archiveofourown.org/works/63564631 (tags below!)

title card for Out of the Bag by suchgreatheights. a sofa with scratched-up corners is in the center of the image. in the foreground is a fluffy calico cat running out of a paper bag. above the sofa is summary text:

Friends, Ed can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.

Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

a greyscale preview of art from the fic. the art is cropped and doesn’t reveal the full image; pictured is a happy cat on a sofa with ed and stede sitting on either side of her, petting her. a wine glass is visible in front of them.

I am joining all the fun and euphoria surrounding the just dropped #ofmdseason2 trailer. The image of Ed imaging himself as a bride was beautiful and touching. So here is my own take. #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmd #ofmdfanart #ofmdart #lineart

Lineart drawing of Edward Teach sitting forlorn on a beach and looking into the waves. He is clad in a 1700s bridal gown. Next to him is a seagull perched on rocks. He is holding a sable. In the foreground is a bottle half covered in sand.

It's #wipwednesday. Here's a cut scene from Calypso's Birthday. #OFMDfanart #OFMD

A sketch of Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach in bed on The Revenge mostly clothed. Ed's straddling Stede and has his hands on the stiddies. Stede's leaning back on one hand, his other hand is... well, I'm not sure, you'll have to imagine. Oh, and they're very sweetly kissing. Probably because they're boyfriends.

a little stretch of this chapter that had my heart rate skyrocketing lmao

smallest church @smallestchurch.bsky.social · 1d

dispatch from chapter ten ✨☕️✨

And gravity takes over, reverses, spins, like Ed drops straight through the mattress and lands on the ceiling. Ed's eyes shoot open to find hands, their hands, resting on Stede's bare chest. He's pale, bruised, dead to the world-but somehow, his chest goes down and up and down, shallow, slower than Ed's, but faster than the ship. The ship, the ship they are on, Ed's ship? He looks around. No. Nice furniture, books. One chandelier, two.
Stede's.
Ed studies him. A gut stab, certainly. And a massive one—no rapier. Also a hanging, maybe. Why does he know that?
Stede whimpers in pain, bringing Ed's attention back.
His brow furrows, his breath shudders. Ed feels real fear. It can't end like this, it was just beginning, there is so much more for them. There has to be.
Ed squeezes his hand, I'm here, and-
The world goes black. Gravity pulls him down, down, until he is almost fetal, knees up. The light is dim, golden. He is still on Stede's ship, but also he is tucked into a space that fits him. Holds him. Molds to him, almost.
A bathtub. Claw feet, amber light. Candlelight. A bathroom without faucets.

He is crying. He has done something very bad. But Stede is there. He wears black, and it makes him look like a floating head in the dim. Stede puts a hand on his shoulder, to comfort him, and Ed leans right into it, presses his cheek to his warmth. Stede squeezes, and—
The bathtub dumps him. Tumbling through space and time, he grasps for Stede, anywhere, nowhere.
Somehow, he can feel it, it is coming, the splash, the freezing cold, the weightless fathomless nothing, but then—
"Ed." A warm grip on his cold hand, squeezing. There is only blackness and a voice and a hand. "Ed!"
A desperate grip, desperate words, a desperate pulsing blackness. "Come back to me," he pleads, but Ed can't, he's still under, there is only cold, too cold to swim, only dark, only—
"Please don't die," he says, with all the feeling Ed's too cowardly to show. "Ed, wake up, WAKE UP-"
And he is there but he is not, he is there but he is beneath the world, he is lost but Stede squeezes his hand until the tendons grind, and he is here, he is right here, ship at his back and air in his mouth, his heart racing again, finally, fully, and he sits up fast, clanging their skulls together and it all goes black again—

an ofmd deleted scene

a three-panel photo edit of screenshots from Our Flag Means Death s1e10 "Wherever You Go There You Are" - in the top panel, a washed out image of Ed (Taika Waititi) holding back tears curled up on his side in his blanket fort wrapped in his boyfriend's left-behind bird robe. In the middle panel from the same scene but in full color, Lucius (Nathan Foad) is giving his sympathetic listener therapist face. To the right of to his picture, a screenshot of Alison @alimasin.bsky.social's Bluesky post has been added. The post reads "never underestimate the curative power of full-sugar baja blast" and is outlined in a bright baja blasty turquoise. The bottom panel shows Ed (Waititi) again, also in full vibrant color, looking contemplative with his face tilted slightly up. A fluffy white cloud dream bubble has been added to the left of his picture. Inside the dream bubble is a screenshot from ofmd s1e1 "Pilot" showing Stede (Rhys Darby) in his bright teal iconic Captain look, with the color extra pumped up to resemble a Baja Blast. His arms are outstretched while standing on the deck of the Revenge. Love hearts surround the dream image

I've smooshed them together so many times. Have some more! 🧡 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

A series of drawings of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're close crops on Stede kissing Ed's forehead, wrist, palm, knuckles. The last is of Ed's hand over Stede's on his chest.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're in their season 1 costumes; Ed with his long beard and purple shirt, Stede in his blue coat and frilled shirt. They're kissing against a twilight-like sky, the moon is shining between their faces.
