OFMD - Stede's Weddings

Round One

Round Two

Look, Stede's in a nice shirt he got from a priest, Ed's in white with a ....fish bouquet... and no season three means fuck I'm counting it. Stede and Mary were wed on a dismal cloudy day on the beach. Stede and Ed got married under a moonlit sky on the ocean. Stede had his bachelor party on a raid with the crew, Ed had his fishing with Fang. "You wear fine things well" means "I do." Stede said it first, now it's Ed's turn. Shut up, I don't fuckin' care, let me dream. Please someone redraw this kiss as their wedding photo.

REBOOT POLL

Not sure I'll get any answers for this, but in light of the articles claiming that streaming services are rehashing older things (rather than renewing newer works like OFMD) and just saw things like Buffy and Bourne reboots may be in the works... *Pick the one you'd hate the most

SO many reboot/remakes:

Wasn't sure how to tag it, ignore it if you like. And not sure of these do have reboots greenlit, and ignoring if creators are adamant for no remakes/reboots.

OFMD FICS I'D LIKE TO WRITE POLL...

Mentioned these in another post. Thought more about it, and really want to keep the OFMD love alive. Most of them are Gentlebeard/Blackbonnet and I'm not certain if I even have the capacity to write these since I'm a terrible writer and a chronic procrastinator, but just wanted to see if there's any interest... *Descriptions/synopses beneath the poll.

Descriptions: 1) Condensed LadyHawke!Au - Lovers Ed Teach and Stede Bonnet are cursed by a wicked, jealous sorcerer/warlock/witch (an established character perhaps). Stede becomes a merperson by day, while at night Ed transforms into the kraken. With a zany, faithful crew of misfits, they sail the seas in search of a way to break the curse, remaining always together but eternally apart...

2) Titanic!Au - Stede Bonnet is a penniless old-money heir engaged to minor prince Richard Banes, a creep who promises his family wealth and power. Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach is a wealthy owner of a merchant company who's tired of being stuck in the middle (the pressures of higher class society not being what he expected). Ed goes incognito on the ship as third class, wanting to return to a little more 'simplicity,' while Stede boards first class on the way to his lavish engagement gala. The two meet, sparks fly, but can they escape the oncoming tragedy?

3) Calypso Possession vignettes - the real Calypso (an incorporeal entity) captures the Revenge in a strange mist. They want to experience feelings in all forms, but to do so they must possess members of the crew. Unfortunately, Calypso doesn't really get the concept of asking permission first... they just kind of do it. Yeah that's the problematic part, and it's majorly messed up.

4) Face Touching one-shot - Ed is very sensitive about who can touch his face; Stede understands this and is conscientious of the fact that Ed needs to be the one to set the pace when it comes to physical intimacy, no matter how innocent. One night lying face-to-face in their inn, Stede slips his hand into Ed's, knowing he has permission to at least go that far, and Ed finally lets him explore his face, leading Stede's hand over his features... or more like tracing his features over Stede's hand... a hand that he adores by the way...

5) Helping Alma short story - Alma (hearing that her 'Gentleman Pirate' dad and the legendary Blackbeard have hooked up) writes a letter to Stede, letting him know she's is being horribly bullied at school. Could he and Blackbeard please come and help her scare the little twits half to death, please? This a chance for Stede to finally be there for his daughter, but there's a few options of how to handle this. What would ultimately be best for Alma?

Thank you for voting!

THE HAVING - STEDE AND ED

Did this poll a while back:

Fair enough. And yeah, if I could gush again about the Gentlebeard love... How Ed's eyes soften so so beautifully drinking in this sweet, punchy blend of sunshine and sparkling lemonade.

How Stede's face is overcome with love, pleasure, and peace at Ed's touch.

My god one day I am gonna analyse just what each kiss is saying... How they hold onto the flesh and solid warmth of a person they adore, just for that person being themselves. They desire more than just the pretty wrapper, wanting and loving everything about each other.

Ed has been so caught up in a harsh and brutish existence, he needs this sweetness and tenderness in his life so badly. Stede gives it wholeheartedly, letting Ed acknowledge his pain and vulnerability in a safe space and making Ed feel that everything is going to be ok. Stede has been so desperately searching for acceptance and belonging and life, and he finds it in a kindred spirit who feels just as lost. Ed adores him for all of his eccentricities and perceived failings, and he fully accepts and appreciates Stede's love, care, interests, and passion. And just a little thing - how these two aren't a pair of youths (at least physically), but rather at a place in their lives when they have another chance.

Like, whether still you're very young or aren't so young anymore, there's time yet to discover yourself and find love.

God fucking hate this cancellation... But these fics get me through - this (mind the tags!) and this that helped soothe the ache both by YellowMustard aka @theyellowestmustard
