She’s still out there...somewhere... #OFMD #OFMDFanart

A tiny ship sails towards a golden sunset. The ship and the waves are dreamy and blurry. This is a detail from another piece of art I made: a photo of two tiny model ships on blue fabric waves, with an orange fabric backdrop and cotton-ball clouds. Though, of course, this quote refers to the Revenge, this ship is actually the Jayaera. Jayaera is one of two names Vico said they would use for their ship if they were captain (the other was the Pitirre). Once I heard that, of course I had to make the ships and photograph them at sea.

In light of NSWD entering its sixth arc, I commissioned baby Ed from @libroseitm.bsky.social I really love the way they do so much with shapes and colors and movement. You really get the sense of adventure from this piece. Of leaving something behind and going toward something exciting. #OFMD

Digital art. Young Ed gripping onto a rigging net, looking out at the cloud strewn sea. His hair is flying in the wind. The sea is green and the sky is a melon blue. There are birds flying in the distance and clouds are scudding along the ocean and in the sky. He has the bands tattoo on his right arm. The only facial feature is his eyebrows, but there seems to be a sense of wistfulness. Leaving behind and looking forward.

Happy #OFMDBisexualWeek to all who celebrate! Peaches, Cream, Whiskey Chapter 1/4 Mary/Ed/Stede 🩷💜💙 archiveofourown.org/works/92761471

Screenshot from ao3 of the fic “Peaches, Cream, Whiskey”. It is rated E and the relationship is Mary Allamby, Ed, and Stede. It is chapter 1 of 4.

The summary reads:
He always wants to make Ed happy, wants to give Ed everything he wants. And, if what Ed wants is to fuck his ex-wife... well, Stede was intrigued enough to say yes.

Here we go! #InnkeepersWeek Day 1: Morning “I am free whenever you’re in front of me” archiveofourown.org/works/92112361

Screenshot from ao3 showing the fic summary for “I am free whenever you’re in front of me” which reads: “Ed keeps his old Blackbeard dagger on the table next to the bed. Just for security, just in case. He sleeps on the side closer to the door. Just in case.

The dagger hasn't seen any real action in months, no fingers or toes or eyeballs. But, every day since they moved into this ramshackle little dream home, Ed has used it to make one precise cut.”

Screenshot from ao3 showing the tags for the same fic, it is rated M for suggestive language and mention of sex but has no smut, it is 1491 words.

Stede and Ed descending a wooden staircase into a large, dark space filled with bookcases and stairs. There's a yellow door behind them like the door to Stede's cabin on the Revenge, and another open door higher up, leading into a warmly lit room. Ed is dressed in leather similar to his canon outfit, and holding some kind of a steampunk gadget. Stede is dressed in a teal waistcoat and trousers and white shirt. He's carrying a kerosene lamp. There's a small light gray weasel-like creature with two tails running ahead of him. At the bottom of the stairs there's a silhouette of someone playing a violin.

Two-panel digital art by Sailor’s Ruin. The top panel is Stede on a TV screen. He is seated outdoors on a live-edge bench he’s made with his own hands. He is looking earnestly at the camera while he tells the viewer about the project. He’s wearing a patterned teal shirt with a hint of a white shirt under it, a pair of jeans that are tight on his spread legs, and tan work boots. He has a glorious amount of freckles. The bottom panel is Ed in his darkened living room. He is lounged on his purple couch watching TV with the remote clutched in his right hand. He looks disheveled, his silver hair messy, but his eyes are huge as if he is witnessing something incredible happening on the screen in front of him. He is wearing a white tee and gray sweats. His left hand is resting on his belly with his fingertips in his waistband.

On the left is Ed in Xena's outfit with his sword in hand, looking to the right. His long grey hair tumbles down his shoulders and he's sporting a full beard. Tattoos and body hair cover most of his exposed skin. On the right and with his back to Ed is Stede as Gabrielle in her season one outfit. His blond hair is long, falling down past his shoulders like an 80s hair band member. Both figures smile, exhilarated and ready for a fight. Behind them is a green background with hints of foliage.
