#WIPWednesday for Ch 7 of Several Inches Deep, in which everyone else arrives at the resort. #OFMDfic

Stede’s smile became less bright, but he was clearly fighting to stay positive. “Mary. I meant to tell you about it yesterday and then got derailed by the other thing. My family is here for a post-Christmas winter break. Mary, Doug, and the kids. And Mary’s friend Evelyn and her service Maine coon, Ned. The whole crowd, really.”

“Oh.”

“I didn’t tell you initially because I wasn’t sure it would matter, and your people are arriving today too, aren’t they?”

“Are they?” Ed was kind of doubtful. He may have given up looking at his phone because he’d been occupied in the best way for the last several days, but several was the key thing here. His vacation was only meant to be three days, and that time was apparently already gone. “Fuck,” he groaned, and then giving into the need to be dramatic about it, he flopped backward onto Stede’s pillows and pulled the wonderfully soft blanket over his head.

Stede sat down on the bed next to him and leaned in. “I can tell them you’re sick.”

“We have a really shitty culture of presenteeism. I’d still need to give my talk.”

“Lost snowshoeing, but we have a search party out.”

“Kidnapped by Mothman,” Ed suggested. “Nah, Izzy would never believe it.”

“You could say you need more time.” Stede offered the suggestion with a tentativeness that made him sound like he was worried about overstepping.

I found out I won’t be promoted this cycle (overdue), partly due to my own missteps, partly due to needing clearer expectations in certain areas outlined for me, and partly due to my skip level manager’s lack of faith in me. That last one has me feeling demoralized.

I've been working on a very self-indulgent AU for over a year now and wanted to post something from it, all you need to know is that Stede's a museum volunteer and Ed's become obsessed with him:

Buttons does show him, although Ed has to redirect him again when he pauses in front of a dodo and starts expounding upon the perfidious sailors that made the taxidermied carcass he calls “Betty” extinct. Ed all but sprints down the hallway until he reaches a wooden door marked “Volunteer Tea Room” on a neatly printed but old placard.
What the fuck is he doing here? Ed carefully twirls the two strands of hair that he pulled free from his bun before he walked into the museum. Does Stede even remember him? Or is he just one of a million people Stede’s interacted with in the past few -
The door swings open and Stede, turned partially away and in the middle of saying something to someone within, walks at full speed into Ed’s chest.
Oof. He’s as solid as he looks. … Oooh, he’s as solid as he looks.
Ed reels back as Stede catches his arm, says, “Oh my god I’m so sorry!” then blinks, and adds, “Ed?”
“Hey,” Ed wheezes, totally cool about it. “I was, uh.”
“Oh no,” Stede says, and he looks truly concerned as he says, “you missed Arthur!”
Ed hesitates. That’s not quite - he wouldn’t quite - “Actually, I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh,” Stede says, looking adorably flustered, “me?”
Ed’s crush magnifies tenfold. “Yeah, you.”
“Well, maybe you can go talk in that cafe next door,” says a handsome Black man in an orange beanie standing behind Stede. “Jim and I are trying to leave for the day.”
Ed didn’t plan on going on a date today but he’s not going to look any gift spiders in the mouth. He gallantly steps aside so Stede can exit the doorway and says, “Great idea. Let me buy you a coffee.”
“Oh!” Stede is clearly flustered. “You don’t have to buy it for me.”
“Don’t care who buys it, just care that you get out of the doorway,” growls an intense looking person who Ed guesses is Jim.

Summary of a fic called The Misadventures of Dr Shrimp (about half the size of a coconut) by Temporal_discounting.

The summary reads Ed Teach is having a hard time. Burnout, that's what they're calling it. Ed calls it drowning. But an unexpected knock at the front door brings Ed face to face with the most beautiful man Ed's ever seen — a man in search of his missing pet tortoise.

A plan forms in Ed's mind: Find the tortoise, snag the man.

Really having a great time reading this wip! (are they on bsky?) #ofmd archiveofourown.org/works/906437...

save our park
Marbled Wings (MarbledWings)
Summary:
"Hello there! " Jesus fuck. He'd stayed still too long. Rookie fucking mistake.
"Do you have a minute?"
"Nope."
"Not even to save a local park?"
"Seriously, man. Not today."
"I'd love it if you'd take a leaflet at least."
Ed doesn't do nature. Doesn't like bugs. Or dirt. But after meeting Stede (Very Enthusiastic About Nature) Bonnet, Ed finds himself drawn into a battle to save a local park.
Stede is on a mission to make Paradise Park a refuge for both wildlife and people. After walking away from his job and his marriage, he needs to prove that he's not a complete failure at life. And maybe, just maybe, he might even make a friend.

Eeeeee! Y’all! I’m so excited for this! It’s a Pleasantville-inspired AU, where foster brothers Ed and Izzy are pulled into their favorite show, A Model Family, a black and white sitcom from the 1950’s. Here’s a little snippet for #WIPWednesday!

"We can't exactly go back in the house and ask how the car starts," Ed says. "That'll look a bit suspicious, yeah?"
They stare at each other. Well. This is a problem.
"Good morning!"
Ed's head whips toward the sound so fast he's surprised it doesn't spin all the way around.
He knows that voice. Of course he fucking knows that voice.
Stede Bonnet is crossing the street toward them.
oh, fuck.
Ed goes completely still.
Stede's wearing a bright smile as he makes his way across the road, lifting one hand in a slightly awkward little wave.
And there it is. That fucking dimple. Right there in his cheek like it's been specifically designed to personally destroy Ed.
Except it's different seeing it like this.
On the show, Ed always knew exactly when it was coming. The camera would cut to Stede, Mary would say something sweet, and there it would be.
But this isn't a television screen.
Stede is smiling at him.
Ed's stomach drops straight through the floor of the Buick.
Fuck, he's cute. No. Not cute. Stunning. Somehow even more beautiful from this close. Okay, and maybe cute, too. His pulse starts thudding ridiculously hard.
Beside him, Izzy makes a quiet noise of disgust.
Ed ignores him.

Stede Bonnet is walking toward him.
Stede fucking Bonnet is walking toward him.
Words. Ed knows words. He knows how to word properly, yeah? He's been doing it his entire fucking life. Quite successfully, actually.
But what the fuck is a person supposed to say to something like good morning?
"You got it!" Ed says, immediately scrunching his eyes shut in embarrassment.
Fucking hell.
You got it?
What the actual fuck, Edward?
He wants the Buick to open up beneath him and swallow him whole.
Beside him, Izzy makes a strangled noise that Ed knows damn well is him trying not to laugh.
Fuck him.
Ed opens his eyes again. And Stede is right there.
Oh. Fuck.
Somehow, while Ed was busy wishing for death, Stede crossed the rest of the distance between them and is now standing just outside the driver's-side door.
So fucking close.
Close enough that Ed can properly see the little crinkles at the corners of his eyes. The curve of his mouth. That ridiculous dimple still sitting there in his cheek.
And he's looking at Ed with that bright, golden-boy smile like Ed didn't just respond to good morning with the most incorrect response ever. It doesn't escape Ed's notice, however, that there's something behind that bright expression.
Maybe apprehension?

Okay! Here's a #WIPWednesday for my belated entry for #InnKeepersWeek! It's opening day of Ed and Stede's inn (called Jeff and Thomas's Idyllic Retreat By the Sea, because they're trying to remain incognito, dontcha know), and wouldn't you know it, their very first arrival is the Guest From Hell.

Never having been in a deal-with-the-public line of work before, Ed and Stede had naively assumed that if their ads and brochures said that they’d be open for business at 7:00 a.m., they needn’t expect anyone to show up in the inn’s lobby before then. They quickly discovered their error when they entered the lobby at 6:50 and found that there was already someone banging impatiently on the front desk’s bell.

ding ding ding “Does anyone even work here?”.
ding ding ding “I’ve been waiting for five minutes!”.
ding ding ding “This is appalling service!”.

The culprit was an octogenarian dowager, dressed in an all-black ensemble whose finishing touch was an enormous hat topped with a stuffed bird. She would have been quite comely had she not been wearing a ferocious scowl.

“Leave her to me,” Stede whispered confidently to Ed. “I dealt with her kind all the time when I was an aristocrat. This’ll be a walk in the park.”

Ed had some doubts, suspecting that there was a vast difference between meeting such a person as a fellow aristo and meeting her as an innkeeper, but he kept them to himself. “She’s all yours, love.”

“Good morning, madam!”, Stede trilled, taking his place behind the desk. “My name is Thomas Edwards, and I’m co-owner of this inn. How may I help you?”.

His perky charm usually elevated the grumpiest of demeanours, but not this time. “I want a room, of course. This is an inn, is it not?”.

Stede’s smile didn’t falter. “Certainly, madam. Do you have a reservation?”.

(That question, which had been Stede’s idea, had given Ed doubts as well. “Why would we ask that? We know for a fact that we don’t have any reservations yet, so obviously the answer will be no.”

“It’s a power move that will make us seem more busy than we are, which will put us in a position of strength, darling.”)

The scowl grew even more fearsome. “What kind of nonsensical question is that? I’m here to make a reservation! I hope the rest of your staff isn’t as dul…

Here's a wee snip! #OFMDWhumptober #OFMDKinktober #WiPWednesday

Stede had come up, having seen what he was doing and, between the switching off of the lamp and the lighting of the candles, he’d shed his underwear.

Ed rushed to match him and then, before either of them could overthink it, he dropped onto his bed and drew Stede back onto his lap. Kissed him thoroughly, until he had a lapful of naked, whimpering Stede and no thoughts or plans or tactics left in his mind.

Stede clapped his hand over his mouth. His eyes welled up when he realized what he sounded like.
"Oh, darling, I am so sorry," he said, contritely. "I was just so unbelievably terrified. The only other time I was ever so scared was when Lou was three years old and tumbled down the bottom half of the staircase going into the basement."

The final chapter of "Tales from the past" is now posted! I'm still having so many feelings about this fic & a hard time to let it end (it's just a new beginning, though) Thank you to everyone who decided to be part of their journey <3 archiveofourown.org/works/701209... #ofmd #ofmdfic #ofmdfanfic

Summary of the chapter, reading:
Izzy finds an old photo again, and Frenchie gets the check-in he needs to make sure they can move forward after the events of the party

Beginning of the chapter, reading:
By the third time Frenchie plays the bridge Izzy involuntarily finds himself humming along. It's a good melody and he already knows it'll get stuck in his head for the rest of the day, which, eventually, will annoy the fuck out of him. But for the moment he enjoys discovering all the little flourishes and variations Frenchie's clever fingers find, while his partner tries to figure out the shape and details of the song. Izzy sometimes suspects that he functions as some kind of guinea pig for this process – Frenchie's one man audience, to try out what arrangements work best.

“You like that, babe? Sounds right?”

#WIPWednesday for the second chapter Breaking the Cycle, my collab with @intheblanketfort.bsky.social! Stede and Ed don’t need an excuse to be friends! Now if only Stede weren’t feeling that pesky attraction to his new pal 😏 #OFMDfanfic

Stede moves closer to Ed and crouches down so that he’s closer to eye-level. “Cycling gives me great clarity of mind. Maybe it will be the same for you. Or if not, we do buy back some gently used gear!”
“If I don’t take to it, can we still, uh…” Ed hesitates, looking down at his knees before looking up at Stede. “Still hang out?”
Stede feels a rush of joy. “Of course! You still have to teach me to ride a motorcycle, but also… perhaps we don’t need an excuse? Friends?”
Ed grins, relieved. “Friends.” He stands and reaches his hand for Stede to grip. Stede puts his hand in Ed’s, and there’s a little frisson at the contact.
Ed pulls him upright, and Stede almost loses his balance, falling forward towards him. Ed puts two steadying hands on Stede’s upper arms. “Whoa.”
Ed’s lips are right there, and if Stede leaned forward just a bit… but no, he mustn’t push his attentions onto his new friend. The bell on the shop’s front door tinkles, signaling a customer, and Stede steps back.
It looks as if Ed’s face falls, just a little, but the moment passes. Stede decides it’s just his overactive imagination.

#WIPWednesday a little snippet from For What You Have Tamed

“I’m Vincent, by the way.” The voice made Stede’s eye twitch the second it interrupted his work. “I’ve been assigned to help you, not that you look like you need it, but you know how things are.” There was a self-deprecating edge to the omega’s voice.
He was going to send him away. Like the last one. He didn’t need people around him. He was barely holding onto control with both hands and the nightly sessions of drinking that were growing increasingly less helpful. Even now he had the edge of a headache blossoming behind his eyes after last night, which would be the last night. The pups were coming to stay with him soon. He’d have to behave as if he were an actual functioning human rather than a scooped out shell that was about to crumble at the first harsh wind.
Yes, Stede was going to send the omega away until he glanced up to say just that until he saw Vincent standing there. The sight was a punch in the chest that tried to steal the air from his lungs. Long hair (dark, not silvered) framed honey colored skin (not freckled like it had been kissed by the sun), and a goatee (not a silver scruff of beard) that parted in an easy going smile. For a second, it was Ed standing there, the ghost of him in a workroom after midnight.
Stede froze, breathing shallowly beneath a chaotic roil of emotions. But it wasn’t Ed. Not even close to Ed, but the outline of his omega was there as Vincent cocked his head to one side, his hair falling over his shoulder. His brown eyes were open and friendly while he waited expectantly for some sort of answer. Stede had been quiet for too long.
“I—don’t really need help,” Stede managed to croak out, but the omega’s smile flashed wide before he shrugged one shoulder.
“Well, how about I just chill here and pretend to help.” Vincent’s grin grew wider, mischievous as his dark eyes danced. “Because otherwise I have to get slotted in with Maggie and that alpha terrifies me.”
I should terrify you.

#WIPWednesday for Ch 6 of Several Inches Deep, in which Ed ponders his time with Stede while getting ready in his cabin. #OFMDfic

Ed could have demanded they dig out his cabin yesterday, or that Stede take him back the way he’d brought him in the first place, though Ed wasn’t too keen to go back into the tunnel if he didn’t have to. Instead, Ed had put on a seductive smile, stayed with Stede another night, and for some reason, fucked him again. The reason was that it felt good. He liked it, and he was having a good time with one of his favorite dicks.

Mirror Ed rolled his eyes at him. Yeah, he was sort of fond of Stede too, liked him more the more time they spent together, but it didn’t change the past. He knew, when push came to shove, who Stede Bonnet was. Or had known. Real question there, if people could change. Hard as fuck if it happened. Now that he was pondering it, he could see that he hadn’t heard all of it from Stede, those fifteen years of marriage. How bad had they been? Maybe Stede had new scars he wasn’t showing either.

“Do it or don’t,” he said aloud. That’s all it came down to.

Still working on the Your Time Starts Now epilogue. I decided, after a long chat with @tanteclem.bsky.social in sprinties, to make Black Pete the host of the Taskmaster podcast, so that's been fun to play with! So here's a reworked snip of Ed's first thoughts in the caravan. #OFMD #WIPWednesday

Fucking hell. All of those contestants who'd whinged about the state of the caravan over the years had not been playing it up for laughs quite as much as Ed had assumed they were. He had been in the caravan a few times, mostly to film interstitials, but that had been a few years ago, and every other podcast interview he'd done had been via Zoom. Part of the reason for that had been circumstance, part of it had been a desire not to have to put on pants, but a large part had been Pete himself.
Not that Ed didn't like the guy - he liked him just fine. Pete was very likeable, in his own way, and he kept Lucius sweet as pie (and distracted) whenever they socialised together, a miracle for which Ed was very grateful. Pete and Ed were friends, of a sort, in the way that comedians who have been on the same circuit for around the same number of years can be. Apparently he'd opened for Ed for one tour, back when Ed first started doing shows in the UK. Ed didn't remember touring with him, but then again, Ed's memories of that time were hazy at best.
The Taskmaster podcast was Lucius' fault, in a very direct 'action A' to 'outcome Z' way. He'd gotten Pete involved with testing tasks, back before the first series, and with every year and series that passed, Pete had become only more obsessed with Taskmaster. He'd made any number of broad, unsubtle hints to Ed about being booked to be on the show, 'if you ever need another close friend in the cast'. Hints that Ed had directed towards Izzy, who apparently had talked to Lucius, who'd asked Pete if he'd ever wanted to be a podcast host. Or so Ed imagined, he didn't really know how it had happened, but however it had, the podcast had taken off. Pete was an excellent host, his encyclopaedic knowledge of Taskmaster trivia and his true, enthusiastic love of the show making for a great atmosphere. And that extremely eager puppy energy always got dialled up to eleven whenever Ed was booked to be on the podcast.

Ed could have stuck to Zoom, it wouldn't have made much difference, but he'd wanted to be on site with Stede, not really out of the 'honeymoon-slash-unwilling to let Stede out of his sight even though they now lived together' phase of their relationship. So he'd swung it with Izzy, as well as Pete (not that Pete had needed much persuading, unsurprisingly), that he and Stede would be at the house on the same day. So he really only had himself to blame for the discomfort he was currently feeling.
He shifted on the stupidly small vinyl lounge seat, trying to get comfortable without hitting his knees against the underside of the wood laminate table. Opposite him, Pete was looking far too bloody comfortable, because he'd sensibly sat to one side of the table, letting his legs stretch out into the kitchen space. Of course he'd done better with positioning himself, he spent an unreasonable amount of time in this bloody caravan.
Thank fuck the caravan had been mostly out of commission during the filming of Stede's series - Ed would never have heard the end of it, not least because he suspected that any stains to Stede's all-white outfit from the caravan would have been nigh-on impossible to lift. Thankfully, there'd been a fuck-off giant wasp's nest, or something similar, that had taken most of the filming time to get rid of safely. Stede had still had some choice words to say about it, even with only his brief forays inside to go by, and Ed was beginning very much to regret his decision to do this bloody thing in person.

happy #wipwednesday! here's a snip from the next chapter of my armgeddon au, far away and dreaming! cw for a wee bit of ed mulling canon-typical suicidal ideation

Was last night a mistake?

If he was going to be dead in a week, did it matter?

He didn’t want to be dead in a week though, which surprised him. He hadn’t exactly been looking for a way out, but the future always felt so bleak that he tried not to think about it too much.

He wanted this mission to succeed though. He wanted to save the world! He wanted to prove to the naysayers that they could do it! He wanted to prove to himself that he could do it. He wanted to show Stede that he’d made the right choice.

He also wanted to build windmills and make the planet he’d just saved better. He wanted to see what discoveries could be made from the asteroid, since they’d hopefully be returning to Earth victorious with two shuttles full of specimens to study, save for the two cool rocks in his pocket for him and Stede.

“Hey…” Stede suddenly said rather quietly, robbing Ed of the choice to stay or go. “You all right?”
