“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.”

Free Space Chap 10 is out.
It was worth the wait.
Seriously, an all-timer chapter. 💜

If anyone hasn't read Free Space yet, just go and start it. Right now. Find somewhere warm, cosy and where you aren't going to be disturbed until you've appreciated every single one of those 121k+ words. This is simply one of the most incredible pieces of writing I have read, of any flavour.

Thirteen different drawings of Taika Waititi, black and white. Surrounding him are emojis drawn in pink. Style reminiscent of Al Hirschfeld

thinking again about how it looks like Ed gets a little choked up here -- his expression gets a little softer, like he's so happy and in love he's gonna cry, his throat bobs like he's swallowing back tears

A messy digital sketch in red hues of Ed and Stede locked in a passionate kiss. Ed is leaning over his shoulder to meet Stede’s desperate mouth as Stede reaches around to cradle Ed’s head. All you really see is the hint of their bare shoulders, but the implication is that they are getting down. WAY down.

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death in the Adventure Time style. Stede is running and holding a rolled up map. Ed is running with a rosy maple moth on his finger. The Adventure Time logo has been made to say "Deeply Cool Adventure Time" in the OFMD font with Stede's dagger instead of the sword. Their little petrified orange friend is between Ed and Stede.
