Got slightly wet to take this, but blue skies are en route ☔️
A photograph of the sky. The clouds are thick and dark grey, and it is raining; in the back of the photo, blue skies and white clouds are visible as they approach.

For Sexual Sunday, how's about the ending to @merryfinches.bsky.social and my RBB love letter to 90s rom-coms? 💖

I've posted both C12 (feat. beautiful art!!) and the epilogue today. My fault it's taken so long, I'm sorry; I hope you enjoy if you read it! 💛✨

A title card for a fanfiction, drawn by MerryFinches. It says 'An OFMD RBB fic, The Backup Plan, words by samwise, art by MerryFinches'. It's a scene from a Greek island at sunset with a winding road and an ocean view. There's a large yacht in the ocean, and a yellow three-wheeled car in the foreground, and pretty pink flowers border the whole card.

So excited to post C1 of my '90s rom-com-inspired #OFMDReverseBang fic with the lovely @merryfinches.bsky.social - The Backup Plan!

LuPete are getting married on a Greek island. When messy exes Ed and Stede miss the flight, they're forced to travel on together.

Happy birthday!! Hopefully you get to return soon 💙✨

Hung out with Buttons’ other half today 💙✨
A landscape photo of a small beach. A gravel path lined with a stone wall leads up to the shore, and grassy hills line the back. Some fluffy clouds are in the sky - some grey.

(This is not what I was picturing initially, but I think it's my winner.)
A vintage Hermès suitcase. Its top, sides, and back are made from a light brown leather, and its front is cream-coloured canvas (with leather corners). It has brass fittings and a matching leather handle, and it's a soft, rounded rectangle shape.

No, this is another thing! Tbh I think Once Upon a Summer Stede would have something a bit more ostentatious. He's got one foot stuck in the 60s :') Something like this, but in a bright, glossy teal. Maybe an ornate custom handle and zipper.
A Samsonite Silhouette suitcase. It's made of a hard material in a light blue colour, and it's rectancular with rounded edges. It has a wooden handle that's a slightly darker blue.

A scientific comparison 🧪📝📈
A screencap from Our Flag Means Death S1 E4. Mary and Stede are sitting for their wedding portrait. Mary is seated and in frame, looking dubious and disinterested. Stede's hand extends in from off-screen; he's holding it stiff and straight, and only barely touching the neckline of Mary's dress instead of resting on her. A screenshot from Our Flag Means Death S2 E5. Ed and Stede are kissing on the deck in the moonlight. Ed is facing away from the camera. Stede is facing the camera, with his hand eagerly gripping at Ed.

I am visible for one day only 🍃✨
A mirror selfie of me, a bearded white man with dark hair. I am blurry; I’m sharing the frame with a trailing philodendron brasil, in clearer focus. (His name is Phil.)

Uncanny, right?? Queen of Swords for you!
The tarot card Queen of Swords. The stately Queen sits bolt upright on her throne in armour and mail, sword held upright - but she seems peaceful and thoughtful, not war-ready. A tranquil backdrop of pastel blues and oranges sweep behind her, and a butterfly perches at the tip of her sword.

Ooh you got my favourite card! The Magician ✨
The tarot card The Magician (I). The Magician stands at their table of magical components and raises their wand overhead, ready to cast. Flowers bloom around them overhead, and they wear a fancy outfit with a swoopy blue cape.

Of course! You get The Lovers 🥰
The tarot card The Lovers (VI). In shades of minty green, an adoring couple hold one another’s hands and stare into each other’s eyes under the sun’s gentle rays.

Ooh - Wheel of Fortune ✨
The tarot card Wheel of Fortune (X). Three golden figures stand in a half-moon below the eponymous wheel - a vast ouroboros surrounded by golden stars. The passage of time is depicted inside the wheel, with phases of the sun turning into the moon.

I sure hope he gets out of there 🥲 Ace of Wands for you!
The tarot card Ace of Wands. Against a verdant backdrop of foliage and rolling hills and a peaceful peachy sky, a vine glowing with white energy from the world around it grows at the centre of the card. The energy bursts out at the top of the vine/wand, like a licking flame on a lit match.

Of course! Thank you; I’m obsessed honestly 😭 Four of Cups for you!
The tarot card Four of Cups. Four cups float in a wispy-clouded sky in a fountain shape - one at the top with a star motif pouring gold and purple water into two with moon motifs, and those pour back into another with a sun motif at the bottom.

Seven of Swords!
The tarot card Seven of Swords. The swords interlock at various angles - mostly golden-handled and straight, but with one red sword, plunging up from the bottom, with a very wide guard and flame-bladed. Where they meet at the middle, there’s a point of white light.

For sure! First Temperance, and then the Knight of Cups ✨
The tarot card Temperance (XIV). In shades of teal and green, Temperance pours a jug of water smoothly into the tranquil pool they’re kneeling by. They have an expression of inner peace and are surrounded by wispy reeds blowing in a soft breeze. The tarot card the Knight of Cups. The Knight sits astride a rearing lavender horse; despite the action, they look calm and in control. They raise a golden cup overhead with one hand, and hold the horse with the other. They seem to be charging through flowing water, with reeds at the horse’s feet.

Of course! Ace of Cups ✨ (It’s the Sefirot deck and I am obsessed 😭)
The tarot card the Ace of Cups. A glistening golden cup floats above a pool of cool blue water and spills golden energy out into it.

I am sure you know already but just in case, must add the necessary caveat that this isn’t a negative card… 🥲
The tarot card Death (XIII). A giant skeletal skeleton wields a scythe, pointed down and curving up. He surrounds a living golden city, watching over it, and wears a black cape that faintly depicts signs of life like trees or fungus. It could be threatening, protective or neutral.

Two of Wands! 💛
The tarot card Two of Wands. Two gold and green vines twine around each other and grow up around a circle of light; within the circle, there’s a golden lotus-type flower. At the top, each branch/wand is topped by three glowing circles of light.

He’s everywhere I look 😔 And you get the Queen of Pentacles ✨
The tarot card Queen of Pentacles. The kind, smiling queen leans over a white balcony, decorated with flowers, to gently pet a calm-looking ram. She is dressed in blue and gold finery, and the night sky is sprinkled with gold stars above her.

Page of swords! 🗡️
The tarot card page of swords. The page stands with their sword drawn at their side, held in two hands, and looks over their shoulder, seeming pensive, in the other direction. Their cape billows, and birds motifs fly in the background.

Page of cups! ☕️
The tarot card the page of cups. A young page with black, flowing hair cradles a golden cup in both hands; a smoky splash of purples and white surround her, with faint bird shapes inside it.
