Actor Ed Teach has just met the love of his life in a glorious leggy accident. Bookseller Stede Bonnet thinks Ed may be the person he didn't even know he's been missing. There's only one problem... #OFMDfic #OFMDfanfic

Described by David Jenkins as "fucking badass," there will be three kiwis in the auction! Cursed suit Stiwi will be available solo, but classic Ked and Stiwi come as a set (do not separate!)

From Where You Lead - oh yeah, did I mention here yet this is a soulmate AU? 😊

#WIPSnips #OFMDfanfic
Their eyes catch and hold for a long moment. Time seems to slow down or even stop, just like in the movies. For the first time, Ed thinks maybe it’s a good thing he’s never found his soulmate. He can’t imagine liking anyone more than he does Stede. Their hands feel so right, clasped together, skin to skin.

Just like Liz Lemon, single Ed schedules some major dental work for Feb 14 to distract himself from the holiday. After, Fang takes him home and tucks him in and he's doing just fine until a short while later when, still loopy on pain meds, he decides he needs cupcakes. He makes it to the store -

#ofmd #ofmdfanart
Fanart of Ed carrying Stede with Stede’s arms and legs wrapped around Ed. Their foreheads are touching and are staring lovingly into each other's eyes and smiling. Stede is wearing a sheer lingerie set with a pair of baby blue stockings. Ed is wearing just a pair of dark purple boxers with lighter purple stars on it. The background is a pink with filled with smaller darker pink hearts. Above them white hearts are sprouting. This art is for Valentine's Day.

He hears a sharp intake of breath. “Edward, fuck,” Stede groans. Stede hardly ever curses, and his words send a bolt of heat straight to Ed’s cock. “Are you close? Are you—” Turning his head, Ed looks at him. Stede is leaning forward, biting his lip. “Yeah, sweetheart.” Ed leans into his hunch about Stede. “You want to watch me come? Watch me make a mess of myself?” Stede nods, unblinking, as if he’s afraid to miss a moment of Ed’s pleasure. “Talk to me, then, if you can,” Ed requests. “Help me get there, please.”

From the new marriage of convenience story. Ed is grieving, his friends have concerns. #OFMDfic
Fang had moved into his spare room just about eight weeks ago, claiming he was having some kind of serious conflict with his current living situation. The lie was paper thin, and Ed had allowed it because it was better than the truth, which was that past-Ed had indulged in some self-destructive behavior, and Fang was babysitting him

Ed chuckles at Stede's earnest enthusiasm. "I'll take your word for it, mate." He draws in a deep breath before the next question, schooling his expression into something more serious. This is the biggie, after all — the one this has all been leading up to. "Next question: Are you romantically or sexually attracted to men?" Stede pauses as he rakes his eyes very deliberately from Ed's face down to his torso and back up again. It's only when he meets Ed's gaze again that he answers, in a voice without a trace of uncertainty. "Yes."

"Really?" Stede's voice is ascending, and his eyebrows are threatening to get lost in his hair. "You serious?" "Yeah." Ed feels a half-embarrassed, ingratiating grin emerging on his face.

Finally I can let this fic set sail after three years of keeping it in the drafts.

After a long day and a dangerous raid, Stede shares with Ed a story he heard in The Republic of Pirates, and it makes Ed see their own story in a new light.

“Stede, of course, notices that Ed said most, not all, sex is hollow. His gentle words hit Ed squarely in the chest—his usual defenses have fucked off to who knows where ever since that kiss.”
