Summary:
Fuckin' Jack. What the fuck was Ed thinking? Of course Jack didn't actually want Ed to cut his holiday with his mum short and come home. Of course he just wanted confirmation that Ed wouldn't be around, that he wouldn't get caught. And of course Ed convinced himself that Jack was reaching out, that he actually wanted to spend some part of Christmas with Ed. Of course Ed was not surprised when he walked in on that, not really. Deep down he knew exactly who Jack was, even if he never let himself admit it.

Blackbeard’s Heartbreak 🏴‍☠️💔 @bbsheartbreak.bsky.social · Dec 24

For #wipwednesday I played @quaintlyfig.bsky.social Getting Steamy prompt generator last night

(that word is supposed to be co-eds but it wants to say co-Ed’s🤭)

Should've stayed at mums. Should've taken Jack's car keys. Should've hopped a fuckin' train out of town. But, no, here he was walking in the icy rain because his bike wasn't safe in this slush and he wasn't adult enough to
own a fuckin' sedan or truck or whatever the fuck responsible people drove.
Ed threw his forearm up to block the sudden assault of high-beams as someone pulled out of a side street and turned toward him. A second later he let out a shriek as a tidal wave of icy slush soaked him through his leathers. Turning on his heels, ready to chase the offending vehicle on foot if necessary, he was surprised to recognize stopping car. Standing frozen (and soaked and freezing) on the side of the road, he contemplated turning and bolting. Surely running around in the freezing rain would be preferable to what was about to happen.
"Ed! What are you doing out in the rain?" Ed's (former?) best friend scolded him. "Come here. I've got a blanket in the back. Wrap up in this and get in. Come on, get out of the rain." Stede herded Ed into the front seat of his mid-nineties custom-painted turquoise VW Cabrio. Yeah, that was Stede's midlife crisis car and Ed really loved that for him. Stede's dad had bought him a cherry red Toyota Supra for his high school graduation gift despite Stede begging for a Cabrio. No, Father Bonnet thought the Cabrio was designed for 'surfers, broads, and roadtripping co-eds' in that order.

Once Ed was bundled in the backseat blanket in the passenger seat,
Stede hopped around the car and bounced into the front seat. Turning up the heat, he glanced at Ed. "So, where to?"
Ed shrugged, deliberately out the window. "Dunno, man. You kidnapped
me, remember?"
He could feel Stede's eyes on him. "You didn't go to your mums?"
Ed sighed. "Came back early. Didn't like what I found," he muttered, his
shoulders involuntarily raising.
Stede didn't say anything, just put the car in first and eased onto the road,
cautious as he shifted into second. "Want to talk about it?"
Ed snorted. "You'd love that, wouldn't you?"
"Of course not!" Stede snapped. "Is that what you think? I'm just sitting here waiting to say 'I told you so"? Think I'm sitting here all content just waiting to hear that he hurt you."
Ed whipped his head around. "Well, aren't you?"
"No, you dick! I never wanted you to get hurt in the first place! That's why I said what I did." Stede downshifted and turned down his street, hitting the garage door opener clipped to his visor before pulling in, parking, and turning off the car. Looking straight ahead Stede let out a breath and said,
"I'm sorry."
"Me too, mate," Ed conceded. "Fuck. I'm sorry. I should have listened to
you. I was embarrassed and I guess I doubled down."

A. Loving all the G/T/M fic recs! STORYTELLING is true magic. I honest to goodness believe that. Sometimes sex is a beautiful (or fun or horny or heartbreaking or silly or joyful, etc) part of that, but lots of times it isn’t or doesn’t need to be.

Been fiddling a bit with the Getting Steamy generator. I’ve added about 20 elements across the generator’s four lines, and there are some fun results! Link and steamy examples in the comments 💞

My first published fic since January 😲

Ed & Stede have an omegaverse kink and meet to live out their fantasies. It’s ridiculous, but it’s also heavy on the caretaking: Stede treats Ed like the treasure he is. Filthy and sweet 💖

Fan art of Stede Bonnet kneeling at Edward's feet and looking up at him adoringly. Ed is shirtless and wearing his fingerless gloves, and his leather trousers are pushed down. One of Ed's hands is wrapped around the base of his hard cock, the other is caressing Stede's face. Stede is wearing a white shirt, light blue waist coat, and white frilled jabot. He's blushing and the lower half of his face is covered in come and saliva, dripping down his chin, as he licks the tip of Ed's cock.

A digital drawing of Stede and Ed from our flag means death. Stede is kneeling in top of Ed. He's wearing a sheer white lingerie dress and is holding hands with Ed. Ed is naked, his hair laid out around his head. The background is a vague blue.

Digital nsfw drawing of Ed and Stede from
Ofmd. Ed is naked and lying back in a bed (I imagine they are in their inn bedroom). Stede is on top of him wearing a sheer billowing shirt, situating himself on Ed’s dick.

Similar composition to the previous drawing, nsfw. Stede has sunk himself down onto Ed, his hands on Ed’s chest and his head held up with his eyes closed. Ed is lifting his head off the pillow and holding Stede’s side.

Nsfw, digital drawing. Similar composition to before, but now Ed has thrown his head back into the pillow and his legs are flat against the bed. He is still holding Stede’s hip. Stede is now leaning back, one arm supporting him by resting on Ed’s leg and the other on Ed’s chest as if he’s pushing Ed down into the mattress. His cock is peeking out under the sheer shirt, which has fallen off-the shoulder on one side.
