Love’s Wrecks (An Our Flag Means Death Series)
BEFORE YOU READ THE SERIES:
Author’s declaration towards altering the cannon:
With all honesty and adoration, Our Flag Means Death is an amazing, colorful series full of an amazing cast that has soul and heart. Everything from performances to soundtrack, set design, and the story is thought through and somewhat historically accurate, give or take a few things.
Most importantly, what this show does, is give us a canonically confirmed queer couple - more than one in this regard. Olu and Jim (a non-binary character), Lucius and Pete (they somewhat open and queer relationship), and of course, Edward and Stede by the end of the series. The journeys all the couples go through are realistic and heartwarming.
In this series, I am using a female reader as an outlet that perceives the story. I don’t want to use a male reader since I have no experience writing this format and I don’t wanna come across as rude and disrespectful towards the audience.
Historically, Blackbeard was rumored to have many relationships with women, however flawed and troublesome these relationships were just as he was rumored to be inclined to have Stede around for most of his short-lived career as a pirate. For as long as I remember, the show doesn’t inform the audience that Edward Teach (born on a beach) is specifically labeled under one sexual orientation (if I am wrong, please correct me) - the show informed the audience, very explicitly and clearly, that he is, indeed, a canonically queer character.
For said reasons, I chose to go with the fem!reader perspective and perceive Ed as a bisexual.
I want to apologize to all readers that might be upset with me altering the cannon in their eyes, I don’t want to bring any heteronormativity into such a pure, queer show. Also, I plan on talking and focusing on the relationship between Stede and Edward pretty thoroughly in the first part of the story. I wanna respect it as much as I possibly can.
I also won’t be focusing on Ed only; I’d like to kind of play and toy around with the group dynamic the crew has, I would like to give them their time and space to shine, to be witty and funny, to be friends as well. I wanna connect to the dynamic David, Taika, Rhys, the cast and everyone working on the show had established before.
I hope you, as a reader, will accept this reasoning and enjoy the series for what it is.
The declaration:
I wow to respect most of the cannon’s rules except these ones:
- Lucius is “dead”, as Edward claimed. His survival is explained in the first chapter.
- The crew is left behind on an isolated island. Also explained in the first chapter; I think it’s kind of logical that a ship of the size of the Revenge needs more men than what Edward kept onboard - and a skilled captain, he realized that. He kicked them off, sure, but he came back after a day or two.
Description: Heartbreak is one hell of a bitch. And one Edward Teach could tell you all about it. Yet thanks to Fate being a little trickster, there’s a person who enters his life to remind him of how nice it is of having someone he can confide in, someone he can care about, and someone he can trust. To remind him, what it means to have a friend for better or worse.

Hi! Not sure where to ask this, but I’m looking for an OFMD fic, do you know if there’s a fic finder anywhere? Thought it was a kink fill, but couldn’t find it. Driving myself crazy that it seems to have disappeared! It was a stede/ed one shot, Stede eats bad food so no one else eats it and Ed has to take care of him when it inevitably ends badly.
Hi!
Unfortunately, I don't know of any OFMD specific fic finders. However, you could try this fic finder tumblr; let them know the fandom, pairing, and as many details of the fic as you can remember.
If you think its a kink fill, you could try browsing the following trope tags on the OFMD kinkmeme:
Caretaking
Food
Sick Fic
You could also try the Edward/Stede fills tag.
Please keep in mind that the x-over has only posted half of Prompt Round 2, so if its a newer fic then it may not have posted yet.
You could also try posting on r/Fanfiction or r/OurFlagMeansDeath.
