Tarred Rope and Spoiled Queen Anne's Lace
PerpendicularPotato

Summary:

Somebody had been lurking in the hallway.

And not just anybody—an alpha.

Edward hadn’t noticed right away. Food and water were still delivered and left with a knock, maybe a quick ‘Here you go, captain’ and no attempt to engage or linger. When Edward hurriedly retrieved them after letting the footfalls fade away, there was never a sign of anybody.

But in between…

Ironically, he hadn’t been alerted by the smell because his scent barrier was holding. But that didn’t stop the air from getting through—and having effects.

When he finally got suspicious and everything clicked into place, he got furious—mostly at himself.

— • ◇ • —

Stuck without any other options, Edward tries to ride out the worst heat of his life alone, barricaded in his cabin behind a barrier held together with vinegar rags and misdirection.

If he can keep his tactical mind and if his scent containment holds, maybe he can still walk out as Blackbeard by the end of it.

Tarred Rope and Spoiled Queen Anne's Lace
PerpendicularPotato
Summary:

They were still at least ten days out from Nassau and Edward’s heat was due to start within the next two days.

This shouldn’t have been a problem. Edward was an omega in his fucking thirties and had spent half his life not only dealing with heats, but also making sure that nobody caught even the slightest whiff of it while stuck on pirate ships full of alphas and betas.

When he had opened his last jar of herbal heat suppressant that should have lasted him weeks, he realized that it had been improperly sealed and gone rancid.

Last year's Halloween costume vs this year's.

Made the mustache myself and then it tried to murder me with toxic fumes—very Halloween of it.

#ofmd #Blackbeard #edteach #cosplay

Season 1 Blackbeard costume with wig for long hair and beard including a darker separate mustache section. Leather jacket with arm taken off. Standing sideways tattooed arm with painted on hose. Accessories include the green lovisa ring from s2, the shoulder plate with brass accents, a homemade sheathed dagger.

Season 1 ep 10 Blackbeard costume with painted on beard and black coated eyes. An attempt was made to dye hair grey—it's sort of a fairly gray to dirty blond ombre.
Leather jacket with arm rolled up to mid biceps. Standing slightly turned. tattooed arm with painted on hose. Accessories include chunky rings, fingerless gloves, the shoulder plate with brass accents, a homemade sheathed dagger.

Re-sharing the final chapter of "To Be Seen" (💯% started bc #OFMDFreakyFriday & the prompt tattoos+monsterfucking+voyeurism)

Plus a peek at the almost finished art for that chapter ft all three prompts

And easily the filthiest (and freakiest 😏) thing I've ever drawn

#ofmdnsfw #Gentlebeard #ofmd

Cropped tall and narrow screenshot of the left third of a digital painting showing back of one of Edward’s thigh and part of his calf wrapped with thick tentacles. It cuts off before reaching the crotch but you can tell that his legs must be folded back and spread. Near the knee you can see some of his hair falling into the picture.
Tattoos include an intricately drawn old map marginalia style sea monster on the upper thigh and a "seahorse" (actually a horse with a mermaid-style lower body) on the calf. As well as a tiny cartoonishly drawn penis on the butt cheek.

At the bottom Stede’s left hand is visible reaching up towards Edward. He's wearing the gold robe and is in the foreground so quite a bit larger. More tentacles are curling in the background behind Stede.

There is part of a art nouveau style geometric background visible.
More faint sketchy tentacles are visible on one of the panels, a small corner panel at the top has a faint imprint of the depression robe pattern

For #OFMDKinktober2025 Day#25: omegaverse

Also got a fic coming, but here is a sfw sketchy mockup inspired by the (nsfw) Manga "How to Deal If Your Intimidating Neighbor Is Actually An Omega" that is so #Gentlebeard omegaverse college AU coded it's frankly bizarre.

#ofmdfanart #Blackbeard

A fake Manga cover for "Hour To Deal If Your Intimidating [Co-Captain] Is Actually an Omega". ("Co-captain" is a handwritten replacement for "Neighbor"). Intimidating Neighbor and Omega is writing in pink with Omega also being giant and in a different font.

Ed is sitting in the same pose as the guy from the original cover—knee drawn up, slightly forward and sort of looking cool and aloof sideways around the viewer.
He's wearing a white tank top and his tattoos are front and center. The original guy had some vaguely tribal tattoos prominently on the same arm.
The style is sketchy but colored in in a watercolor-esque style

The background is just white without pink squiggles.
There is a "EXPLICIT WARNING | GRAPHIC CONTENT" warning in the bottom left corner.

"Punto In Aria"
archiveofourown.org/works/71636896

3.5k words, E-rated, Ed/Wee John

featuring Feminization, Size-Difference, Cockwarming and unreasonably intricate needlework

#ofmd #ofmdnsfw #WeeBeard #WeeJohn

Punto In Aria
PerpendicularPotato

Summary:

He lifted the center panel and held it up to Edward's chest while making
thoughtful humming noises. As John carefully adjusted the position and ran his hands across the fabric to flatten it against the skin, Edward felt himself break out into gooseflesh.
There was something about the combination of delicate silk and lace brushed against his skin by Wee John's huge rough hands calloused from shipboard labour and needlework alike--that still got to Edward every time. He had to fight the impulse to look down and keep still instead.

A raided trunk full of finery clearly not intended for a body like his sparks something in Edward.
Sometimes it can be a lot less scary to ask for what you want if you can turn it into a bit.

"Just A Classical (Sex) Dream"
archiveofourown.org/works/71789721

Weaponizing Greek mythology to fulfill the prompts:
- Gangbang
- Yiffing
- Cock/Prostate milking (sorta)
- Ravishment Fantasy

#Gentlebeard #ofmdnsfw #ofmdfanfic

Just A Classical (Sex) Dream
Summary:
PerpendicularPotato
Stede has been switching up storytime by reading the crew some ancient Greek myths-
they might be a litle risqué at times, but, if he dares to say so himself, it has been a rousing
success!
There are, as it turns out, some rather unexpected consequences.
Stede used his other hand to gently but ruthlessly pull the pillow away, revealing Ed's
lovely face--so very flushed with embarrassment and arousal, brows stormy with
wounded dignity and lips bitten red and pushed out in a clear pout.
Stede easily lobbed the pillow to the foot end of the bed, far out of reach.
"Hey!"
He ignored Ed's protest and instead leaned in closer, pushing his own body flush with
Ed's, lips almost brushing his ear when he continued speaking : "They were chasing
you, Edward, weren't they?"
Combining Kinktober prompts from
Day 3: Gangbang, Yiffing, Cock/Prostate milking (sorta)

My WIP for Day 20's Size Difference & Feminization includes some bonus Cockwarming—perfect for both #WIPWednesday and Day 1 of #OFMDKinktober!

Love how that worked out 😌

Here's a snippet of my #WeeBeard fic—only 2 tag uses so far and this'd be the first not to be part of an orgy

#ofmd #ofmdnsfw

“Ed, luv, would you mind?”

The words vaguely perforated the floaty haze of Edward’s mind. It was only once Wee John ran a hand through his hair and gave his cheek two pats that he blinked once, blinked twice and the meaning actually began sinking in.

Edward obediently pulled off the massive cock. Still mostly hidden by the desk, he quickly worked his jaw around a little—it was kind of embarrassing how much it ached even though John hadn’t even been hard—but then again, Edward had been down there for a while…

“There we go, dear, up ye pop.”

He got up from the pillow at John's feet, gave his legs a little shake and then got into position next to the desk in the captain’s quarters John had been working at—standing up straight, arms by his sides, slightly away from his torso, his bare chest just at John’s eye level.

He lifted up the center panel and held it up to Edward’s chest while making thoughtful humming noises. As John carefully adjusted the position and ran his hands across the fabric to flatten it against the skin, Edward felt himself break into gooseflesh.

There was something about the combination of delicate silk and lace brushed against his skin by Wee John’s huge rough hands (calloused from shipboard labour and needlework alike) that still got to Edward every time. He had to fight the impulse to look down and keep still instead.

“Oh, Wee John! It’s coming along exquisitely!” Stede, under no obligation to hold still, had popped his head up from behind the settee where he had been reading.

Just posed the final chapter of "To Be Seen":
archiveofourown.org/works/676916...

Featuring the culmination of Edward’s yearning for and terror of finally being seen.

(And the promised Edward/Literal Kraken/Stede monsterfucking plus voyeurism scene.)

#ofmd #ofmdfanfic #gentlebeard #ofmdnsfw

Chapter 3: Seen

Summary:

There was something seriously wrong with Edward.

Now obviously, this was hardly a new realization. What had been new was Stede Bonnet’s inexplicable ability to almost make him doubt it—or at least forget for a while.

And the worst thing was, Edward had almost fallen for it!

And yet here was Edward about to fuck it all up.

And it made no sense!

Edward felt loved! Edward felt appreciated! Edward felt mother-fucking cherished!

(And yes, Edward was also getting railed well and often.)

So why the fuck had he started having the ‘dream’ again?

Zoomed in still of Edward's upper left arm. You can see the the skull-headed season 2 version of the kraken tattoo on his shoulder.
It's from the Jeff's Inn roleplay scene from the gravy basket, so the image is tinged in that otherworldly murky blue.

Since I'm still not completely done, for #WIPWednesday, here's a snippet from the final chapter of "To Be Seen" (archiveofourown.org/works/67691666), which will finally feature the Ed/Kraken/Stede plus Voyeurism tags.

#ofmd #ofmdfic #GentleBeard

“Alright, babe…” Edward let out a deep breath and squeezed Stede’s hands. “I have absolutely no idea if this is even gonna work. I’ve never tried it with another person present. And you’re sure you’re okay with this?”

“Well, only if you are, love.”

“I am.” He let out a little scoff and found that he really did mean it. “Would be kinda neat to know with absolute certainty that I didn’t hallucinate all of it…”

Stede looked at him and suddenly broke into a grin—only for it to falter almost instantly. His face darkened with guilty concern and sheepishness.

“I’m so sorry, darling! I... I didn’t mean to... but the truth is—this is rather exciting, isn’t it, Ed?”

Not a day ago, Edward had been scared the man might run away screaming and here he was—downright giddy.

“I mean—A Kraken!”

@desastahpotato.bsky.social

And to a lesser extent to the follow-up Innkeeper Era chapter featuring some extremely #Not-So-Ecclesiastical-Latin

archiveofourown.org/works/600361...

After they had gotten settled in their little would-be inn, it was now time for Ed to demand answers to his still burning question of What the fuck was going on in books?

They had gotten comfortable up on the settee in front of the fireplace. While it never got truly cold in the Caribbean, now in June, the Wet Season was in full swing and afternoons had turned reliably damp and dreary--the perfect excuse for Stede to curl up with a book and for Ed to curl up with his head on Stede's lap.

Totally applies to my Calypso’s Birthday chapter of the 'Mark's Left On Your Skin':

[Can be read as Ed/Stede standalone]

#ofmd #ofmdfic

"I'm sorry to put you on the spot, love, but I must confess-"
Love? Fuck me, Edward was already melting.
"-that this is going to be my first time with another man. Now, I've consulted literature in preparation-Quite intensively, actually!-so I do believe I have a decent grasp of the mechanics as well as the... accoutrements required, so to speak.'
Ed's eyebrows had been steadily rising higher and he looked at Stede with wide and incredulous eyes. He did not even know
where to start unpacking this, so he went with the last thing his mind had gotten caught on.
"Accoutre... what?"
"Oh, you know, paraphernalia?"

So instead reposting my take on #Ed&Archie 's first interaction:

Too Much Fucking Rhino Horn

Too Much Fucking Rhino Horn
PerpendicularPotato
Summary:
It was a horribly, disgustingly, viciously, downright pervertedly beautiful Caribbean night.

As soon as Ed stepped out on deck he was greeted by the giant middle finger of an otherworldly large, unbearably romantic full moon—shamelessly flaunting itself in an inky black cloudless sky, framed by a countless number of stars twinkling at him mockingly.

— or —

For Edward, a shit night turns quite memorable.

For Archie...eh, in her experience, that's kind of how stuff goes.

Whatever Happened to Blackbeard?PerpendicularPotato

Summary:

Edward blinked at the piece of paper in his hands.

It was one of his old wanted posters. The one with the big nose and the crazy eyes and the writing on the back.

They had all had crazy eyes though, hadn’t they?

This specific one however had been re-titled in bright red paint ‘The Gentleman Pirate’s Bitch’. And underneath—presumably in thoughtful consideration for the wide-spread illiteracy amongst pirates—there was a crude drawing (in both senses of the word) helpfully illustrating that very statement.
___
It's been a few years—post-piracy, post-myth, post-Blackbeard—and despite all odds, Edward has done the work and found peace.

But the world never got to witness the legend’s grand downfall, so now they just won't stop poking the corpse and drawing dicks on its face.

And for some reason, this time... Edward just can’t look away.

The celebration of a life post-public gaze, the reclamation of narrative and the most meta revenge-hatefuck fantasy imaginable—staged by two soft fucking lunatics in love.

Renamed from "For lt Is September 3rd, and Tonight is Actually a Full Moon" because—like Edward—I'm apparently also shit with dates...

He was torn from his musings by.. what the hell, was that a flute?
Edward surveyed the deck but nothing stirred among the sleeping crew. Curious he stood up and followed the tones towards the forecastle.
It was Bird Guy!
Stark naked, bird on his head and alternating between playing a few notes on a recorder
and throwing his arms open wide as if he was trying to pull the full moon itself into a
passionate embrace. Edward stood there in silent awe, mouth slightly agape.
This ship was fucking amazing! Where had Stede found these people?! He couldn't wait
to find out what brilliantly mental thing Bird Guy was up to here.
-or -
Edward learns quite a bit about the intricacies of basking in moon glow and the proper way to worship Her Majesty.
Might help him keep his lunar calendar straight in the future.

Summary:
Upon Edward’s return to the Revenge from the academy, all the crew saw was that he had come back without Stede, but what none of them could have known was that that didn’t mean he had returned alone.

To Be Seen
PerpendicularPotato
Summary:
There was probably something to be said about how many of Ed’s most prominent tattoos were of things he was absolutely terrified of. The giant snake on his arm, for example. Or the not one, not two, but three enormous spiders on both feet and his left hand, that instead of desensitizing him, had just led to him religiously wearing his black leather glove...
So he couldn’t even really blame the choice of a kraken on drunk stupidity alone. Though that night’s events were all a bit of a blur and he wasn’t even entirely certain that he had even been the one to make the call.

For years, Edward Teach had been hiding safely in Blackbeard’s shadow. But the only thing scarier than being seen clearly might be not being seen at all.

He’d long ago written off being recognized and held unconditionally and without judgment as a childish dream—until he discovered that some dreams might be far more real than they should be.
