OFMD, Gentlebeard, season 3. Early 40s, she/her. Minors stay away (sometimes I recommend fanfic). I may block follows from non-pirate fans—nothing personal.🪿🐈‍⬛🕯️🏴‍☠️📚🦄🌈

“Fuck,” Ed rasps. “Fuck, mate, will you get over here? Need to tell you something.” The anxiety is pouring off of Stede in visible torrents. His face is pinched, and he’s standing too taut, too straight. He does as Ed asks and heads over to the couch, but he perches gingerly on the edge like he’s sitting on a bed of nails. He looks like Ed’s about to announce that he’s dying. Or that Ed’s about to break up with him. Or that Ed’s dying to break up with him. “Do something different with your face,” Ed demands, in a choked-up rush. “Please, mate. You look like a kicked cat.” Stede pants a terrified laugh. He does not do anything different with his face. It’s an echo of the other night, when Ed had demanded that Stede stop looking at him. Not a very nice echo, though. Stede’s still a ghastly shade of white, one that seems to be hedging into green territory. Fuck. Not good. Ed’s gotta just– He snatches frantically for a hand, and he feels the tremor of Stede’s bones against his own. He squeezes hard; hard as he fucking can without breaking anything. “Mate, I’m– I just– I like you, man. I really, really fucking like you, okay?” Stede does something different with his face. It’s a welcome change. His jaw releases. Colour seeps back into his cheeks. He lets free a sigh that sounds like it weighs more than a fucking Buick. “Oh,” he says, so relieved that it comes with the slight titter of a laugh. “That’s– Ed, that’s…not exactly news to me. I mean, I think we’ve already established–” “Might be a bit in love with you, even.”

Realised today I never actually posted this picture of my costume from #WeeCon last week.
Pictur of a person dressed in Stede Bonnets outfit from the pilot episode of Our Flag Means Death. It is a 18th century turquoise coat & breeches with bronze braiding & buttons. There is a darker turquoise waistcoat underneath. Their legs have white stockings & black heeled shoes with white bows.

If you're craving a quick hit of pure fluff, @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and @happydaiz.bsky.social did a great job putting together this 16-minute podfic of one of my Reno oneshots; an established-relationship vignette of sappy domestic Gentlebeard doing their sappy domestic thing in the early 1970s

OFMD loves, what's the last fic you read that surprised you? In a good way! Like, a fic that introduced an element or a story beat you weren't expecting, but ended up enjoying. Or a fic that subverted an expectation or a trope.

If you'd slap a "certified fresh" label on it, I want to know about it!
