Ed is having a hard time. But a knock at the front door brings 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. Rated T | Ed/Stede | 6.5k archiveofourown.org/works/93446281 #OFMDFic

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.

Easy, peasy, pudding and fucking pie.

Next day bump. Stay is going well, inn has plenty of tureens, books and clean towels (smell of eculiptus) available. Jeff said last night that he's seen wolves nearby, off to see if I can spot some later. Not to gossip, but I think Jeff and the other innkeeper are in love! #InnkeepersWeek #OFMDfic

It absolutely fucking figured that Ed’s carryon wouldn’t make it. In hindsight, he never should have checked a bag at all. But so sue him if he was too lazy to put all his various liquidy items in travel-size containers. #ofmdfic #ofmdskyfic #gentlebeard

Oh, I forgot! frames29, 91 and 135. I tried to do different medium and style (the painting is acrylic on paper). Funnily enough my favourite is the one I did on the deadline afternoon/evening because I wasn’t happy with what I had for this frame.

A digital painting of Stede and Ed kissing. Stede holds head by the front of his tunic and Ed has his left hand on Stede’s shoulders and the right in the air about to go around his neck or back. Ed is depicted as an angel with a white dress with purple sash and plue, purple and orange wings, the left one open and the right one barely visible behind Stede about to wrap around. Ed also has a gold halo behind his head. Stede is depicted as the devil with red skin and pointy ears, his tail is coiling around Ed’s arm. He has grey wings pointing to the back and is wearing his red curse suits. Their faces are shining of each other light. The background is a broken church wall with a glass window and space. They are lit by a ray of light

A digital drawing with in purple light Stede on the left halfway off screen behind him are 3 of his previous self in lineart and monochrome. Just behind he is in red wearing the curse suits shirt in front of night sea. Then in green he’s wearing the seamen academy shirt in front of the beach where Ed first kissed him. And finally in blue he’s wearing the French party shirt and vest in front of night sea. It’s supposed to look like the movement Stede is doing from right to left, like a blur effect.

I had frames 86, 104, and 168 🎆

A screencap from OFMD S2E6, Calypso's Birthday. Stede and Ed stand facing each other, looking into one another's eyes. Stede grips Ed by the lapels of his leather jacket, and Ed holds Stede by the shoulders. The colors are rich and warm, and the lighting resembles a candlelit room. The air around them sparkles.

A screencap from OFMD S2E6, Calypso's Birthday. Ed and Stede are kissing, locked in a passionate embrace, visible from the waist up. The scene is drawn in a film noir style. It's black and white. Stede wears a trench coat and fedora, and Ed is dressed in a black gown, a flower in his hair. They tucked in a corner between buildings on a city street. Headlights, tall buildings, and a neon sign reading "Jackie'z" are visible in the background.

A screencap from OFMD S2E6, Calypso's Birthday. This is a painting of Stede closing the curtain around his bed nook. His naked torso is visible through gauzy, sparkly curtains. The scene is backlit by the glow of fireworks through a large, arched window.

Ed is surprised and bringing his arm up to stedes elbow, Stede has a sad/desperate expression. The paintings on the walls behind them are depicting important moments between them .

The second is a painting of stede closing the curtains in the bed nook, his chest is visible with his arms lifted up, the curtains are sheer and shimmery. The window behind him is glowing bright light and Ed is slightly visible sitting on the bed on the left

Mine was frame #66 This was such a struggle, had a gazillion ideas and zero energy, suddenly deadline was almost here and I had to commit to something. I went digging through the chaos of my craft stuff and cursed my way through 😂 #ofmd #ofmdfanart #LaVieEnFrames

Printed out the frame, Stede grabbing Ed’s jacket and pushing him against the wall, in black and white. Did a bit of colouring in pencil, a bit of embroidery, stitched on some sequins, and used some crafting “pipe cleaners” and metallic embroidery thread, gold for Stede’s and silver for Ed’s hair, stuck on a couple of stars on their eyes and tiny gold heart stickers between them.
