‘“Oh,” Stede says, feeling his face fall. “You.”

“Jesus f***ing Christ,” Izzy responds. His eyes are wide with horror.

Stede lurches to his feet; his arms jerk uselessly in the confines of the rope, which remains unmoved by his desperation to wipe the remnants of Ed’s mark from his face.

“It’s not what it looks like!”

Izzy shudders. “Right. S’pose a chimney sweep attacked during the night, then.”

Stede has no rebuttal; there’s no way to explain it that doesn’t circle back, inevitably, to the desperate way Ed had kissed him, like he’d wanted them to consume each other entirely.’

- and if you don’t love me now: chapter 3 by oopshidaisy

Two weeks in the scribbling but… another day, another fave fic driving me to illustrate its most gripping scenes. Literally gripping this time. The idea of Izzy cleaning Stede’s face of Ed’s dark kisses is just… deliciously cruel 👌🏽

Happy one year anniversary to this happiness inducing show!

In Favor with Their Stars 

Author: mxmollusca

Rating: M

Finished: Nov 2022

Tags: AU-Sci-Fi, Stede/Edward, AI Stede, Astronaut Ed, Angst w/ Happy Ending

Word Count: 62k

Summary: 

Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

Comments:

The plot is not my usual cup of tea, but once I started this story I had no qualms about finishing. The plot and characters are so interestingly written. The relationship between AI-Stede and Edward kept me constantly curious, and the tenderness with which they're written (and the ruthless way they're treated) will have you so invested in their success! Bookmark and return to it when you want something out of the box and beautiful

(Spoiler warning) wait guys... so this is just a random theory for ofmd s2 my brain spat out, but hear me out. Stede "died" (faked his death) in a pretty spectacular way and he had somewhat of a reputation by that point. People would definitly talk about it. Noone besides Mary her friend and the pirate gang knows he is alive... What If Blackbeard hears those rumors and then thinks that Stede is actually dead, maybe even thinks thats why Stede didnt show up??? and then blames himself for not searching for him?? That would be so amazingly dramatic, someone atleast write a fanfic about this

Izzy Fic Recs (Oct 1-31st)

My favorite of the Izzy fics that I read between October 1-31st. See other recs here.

Rattle the Bones that Whisper Lies by FrazzledWriter (Ed & Izzy)

Ed embraces the Kraken so wholly that he loses himself in the process, turning to old, learned habits to cope. But those habits end up hurting far more than helping, and when it feels like things can’t get any worse, he finally realizes what he needs to do to help himself heal and break the vicious cycle of death and destruction.

may the bridges i have burned light my way back home by sugarybowl & wishingonalightningbolt (Izzy/Calico Jack)

Izzy turns up at Jack’s place for a distraction. Learning about Jack’s son forces him to reevaluate the way he sees one of his oldest friends.

Faint Shafts Of Light by Trick (Izzy/Lucius)

No one would ever ask Izzy Hands if it hurt when he fell from Heaven. Not even Lucius, though he does find the older man incredibly attractive. But yes, it did hurt - though it's a bit more complicated than that.

you and me in the middle of it all by shatteredhourglass (Ed/Izzy)

“Don’t we have a rule about liabilities, Iz?"...

everybody's got their limits (nobody's found mine) by oopshidaisy (Ed/Izzy)

After 153 days, killing Stede Bonnet had begun to lose its appeal. (Or: Izzy gets stuck in a time loop.)

downwards rushed the heavens by redshift (Ed/Izzy)

To save the Revenge, something must be sacrificed, something must be revealed, and something else must be confronted.

the ideal husband by tediousdelusion (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

How Izzy Hands saves his marriage (and gains a boyfriend) by getting a divorce.

boundless as the sea by Juniperly (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

In which Ed and Stede ask Izzy to marry them, and shenanigans ensue.

Looking to spice up your Friday night? Consider Tropical Heat, an OMFD sex pollen fic 🌶️🌶️

He let out a long slow breath through pursed lips and his eyes jumped up to Ed’s without his permission. He was startled to see his field partner staring back at him. Ed was facing Stede from behind his bench, hair a bit disheveled, cheeks rosy, large brown eyes gazing at him with something Stede couldn’t quite decipher in the current delirium.

“How’s it going over there?” It came out much more strangled than the chipper tone he was going for.

Ed cleared his throat, “F-fine. Just- Just fine.” Then, more than a bit breathlessly, “Is it a bit hot in here?”

***

Stede and Ed are researchers sent to a previously-unexplored island to collect and categorize biological specimens new to science. Things get heated when they unwittingly discover a new plant species with… arousing effects. AKA a sex pollen fic.

The Wanting: A Blackbonnet drabble

He is an agent of death and destruction, not made for fine things and softness. Knowing that has never stopped the wanting. So he pillages and plunders—if he can’t have it, no one can. Then he meets Stede Bonnet, the Gentleman Pirate, who has it all. Suddenly he can have it, too. Can be Ed again after years of Blackbeard. It’s good, so good. But his mother was right, he isn’t that kind of person; never will be. Left alone, Blackbeard goes back to the life he knows: death and destruction. But the wanting remains, never to be satisfied.

[jasperskywalker]

Anyone want to help me come up with a fic plot? I need some hijinks to ensue.

Mary and Doug purchase a beautiful secluded cottage on the water where they frequently meet up with "friends from out of town", or rather, Ed and Stede visit in disguise so they can have time with the kids. Everything goes beautifully for the first few days. Mary gets to relax and paint, Doug bakes and our lovey dovey pirates have a blast with Alma and Lewis.

Of course, things never stay perfect for long, and hijinks ensue. I'm thinking something along the lines of Izzy showing up and being a dick, followed by the entire crew, to tell their captains that Izzy is back and on his way. Except Izzy beats them there.

This scene of Mary and Doug sitting on loungers on a big viranda drinking marguritas and holding hands while they watch Stede and Ed play pirates with the kids is living rent free in my mind.

Another important plot point: the night that the crew shows up. Mary and Doug decide that everyone needs to stay the night. They pitch tents in the yard for the crew and everyone, kids and all lay in their sleeping bags around the campfire while Stede reads to them. Ed is helping with the voices now, and they make googley eyes at each other and pause at least once for a quick, cute little kiss. Izzy grumpily sits on a log, looking extremely disgruntled.

In the middle of the night, insert plot point happens that causes everyone, including Mary, Doug, and the kids, to have to make a quick break for the ship. The 4 of them become honaray members of the crew while they take to the high seas to protect ??? From ???

Please help. Could be free to a good home, or PM me if you want to talk. Because I struggle with things that include hijinks. Why do these ideas have to come to me?

everything broken gets put back together again

Author: ellemzee

Rating: M

Finished: July 2022

Tags: Canon AU, Post- S1, Reunion Fic, Stede/Edward, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Fix-It

Word Count: 23k

Summary:

The problem with his plan (besides the obvious, which is that he has absolutely no intention of following through) is that he didn't account for the possibility that Stede would show up without anyone having to find him, red-faced and furious and bursting with love, over the side of his boat, looking all windswept and gorgeous, and challenge him to a duel. Because that would be absolutely mental. And that's what happens, because of course, Ed's forgotten who he's dealing with. Ed's tired and Stede's determined. They work it out.

Comments:

This on is definitely a favorite! I love how thoroughly the author explored Ed’s perspective and gave validity (or at least justification) to his emotions and actions. I also love Stede being Stede here; he is blunt and selfish and brash, but also so very sorry. He puts so much effort into winning Ed back (I’m a sucker for a grand gesture). Also, Izzy is well-written in the brief appearances he makes. Overall, an exceptional storyline and a fun read!

The last person Lucius expected to save him from uncertain death at the hands of Blackbeard was Blackbeard's even more obnoxious first mate. Now, trapped inside the cabin of a man who seemed to hate him, with a crazy captain running around, half a crew trying desperately to keep afloat the ship, and not even a change of pants...

Yeah, getting out of this situation was going to take every bit of ingenuity he had left in him.
