30 seconds in and all the pop-up zines are gone already! Luckily, I have 33 more items in my watch list 🤣

Six minutes... Getting sleepy 🤣 (11.54 p.m.)

Cool!

Stede and Ed and the crew are back in Barbados, visiting Mary and Doug, Alma and Louis...

One night, in the garden, Ed makes a confession...

Midnight for me, can't wait!

My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time 21 March 1945 "Good evening." Stede cocked his hip and fluttered the fingers of one hand over his plumped up bosom. "Welcome to Spanish Jackie's. Reservation?" "Not tonight," said the foremost of the three soldiers at the door. Aha! The agreed signal. That meant these were three of the six that needed to be spirited to safety. "Right. Walk-ins, then," he said, and now he didn't have to feign his cheerfulness. "I've got a peach of a table for you. Follow me." Skirts swaying, he led them on into the depths of the restaurant. Jackie and Swede did own this place, but it was in a village far from where they lived, and far from where Stede and Ed and the crew lived, too. Ed had intercepted some correspondence that hinted at a family trying to reach refuge, and he'd designed this operation to help them cross into Switzerland. The plans had to be set very carefully, and their bona fides established–part of that had involved Stede, Fang, Roach, Frenchie, Pete, and Lucius taking over the management of this lakeside bar-restaurant for the last few weeks, leaving Olu, Jim, Archie, Zheng, Auntie and Izzy to maintain Blackbeard and the Gentleman Resister's usual operations. Roach and Pete worked in the kitchens; Frenchie and Lucius were floor staff; Fang managed the inventory; and John handled deliveries. Stede was the tavern wench. John had designed a lovely outfit for him, inspired by Swiss folkloric designs. Tight across the bust, cinched in at the waist, with lots of lovely leather laces down the front and along the sleeves. They swished delightfully, along with his full skirts, and the long hairs of his blonde wig bounced on his shoulders, as he sauntered here and there about the place. Mostly in front of the counter–where Ed tended bar.

Hard agree!
I got to use the French version in my Black Mirror/astronaut!Ed fic, and it felt like an homage ♥️

They stumbled out, still kissing, and went along to Stede’s room. He decided to wear his first outfit, with the billowy white shirt, this time with the beribboned shoes. Ed knelt before him where he’d sat at the end of his bed to pull on stockings in lieu of the trousers, and gave him a foot massage, rubbing his cheek on Stede’s leg, cat-like. Stede closed his eyes, let his head drop back, more cat than Ed, practically purring with pleasure. Only when Ed’s hands slipped past his knees, tugging up the stockings for him, then sliding further up his thighs, did he recall his role. Dragging up his weighted lids, he looked down at Ed, and sucked in a breath at the sight. Ed’s eyes were open, staring fondly at a patch of skin above Stede’s knee. Nowhere, really, but Ed looked at the spot as if even the most innocuous part of Stede represented the whole, as if there wasn’t a freckle or dimple that wasn’t worth his worship. He took breath after breath, couldn’t accept the devotion Ed wore, for him; couldn’t believe it, despite all Ed’s words, in spite of Ed’s warm fingers clasping his leg. Ed’s other hand shifted, came up to cup Stede’s cheek, even as Ed lifted his gaze to his. Love.

I never expected to write one myself! Being me, it's fairly vanilla, as far as wording and actions go 🤗

Here's the part with the stocking appreciation ❤️

And of course the hanahaki one!

Ed was born with a flower. One day, he began to cough up more flowers. Many more days and weeks would pass before he finally solved the mystery of his flowers...

Also this!

In a world where each person has a talent, Ed can look at a body of water & know the fish count; Stede can emit the scent of any flower at will.
A chance meeting in the woods leads to extensions of their talents--and a shift change in their lives.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea ClaireGregory Summary: Salvage diver Ed Teach is no stranger to the story of Blackbeard and the Queen Anne's Revenge- after all, the famous pirate is a distant ancestor. But then Professor Stede Bonnet, maritime archaeologist and many-times-great-grandson of the original, waltzes through the door of his shop and requests his services in finding the wreck. What are the odds? Ed's had enough of the cutthroat world of salvage diving, and he's this close to leaving it all behind. But Bonnet's quest sparks an interest he hasn't felt in years, and he agrees to help the oddly charming man. Nothing to do with the fact that the Queen Anne might just be the last treasure trove Ed needs to escape his life. Definitely nothing to do with the way Bonnet's cheerful enthusiasm makes his heart skip a beat. Together they'll hunt for the wreck... and then they'll reckon with what comes next.

In honour of OFMD's 4th birthday, sharing my first fic for #taketwotuesday! It felt like a special kind of madness to slam out of the gate with a 60K twisty archaeological mystery romance when I hadn't written fanfic in 25 years, but I do feel it set the tone appropriately for the next four 😂
