My Tears Are Becoming a Sea: An OFMD Little Mermaid AU 🧜‍♂️

Lonely merman, Stede Bonnet, has always been fascinated with the world above, even though contact with humans is forbidden. But one stormy night, Stede saves the life of Edward Teach; the dreaded pirate, Blackbeard. Deeply drawn to Ed, and seeking a way to find happiness, Stede makes a deal with the sea witch, Ned Low, to trade his tail for a pair of legs.

But for Stede to remain a human, he must win Ed's love in seven days. With treachery afoot, Stede must be brave and follow his heart, or risk losing everything...

A story of transformation, self-discovery, and learning to love yourself.

First time writing a fic outside OFMD, who am I? The Good Omens finale had me feeling feelings, so I had to write something about it. A fix-it/missing scene fic with guaranteed happy ending. 😇😈❤️

The #FandomCraftMarket is over, but we can still enjoy the goofiness of the great bidding war for Goofus Doofus. See "All Our Eggs in One Basket", or Ed obsessing over Goofus Doofus for 5.5k words. 🐔

For @clairegregoryau and smallest kid. ❤️

It has been six months since Stede Bonnet last saw Edward Teach.

Six months since Stede met him.

Got to know him.

Kissed him.

Made love to him.

Watched him leave.

A sequel/epilogue to my 2026 Big Bang fic, After the Fall.

My frames for the You Drew Me a Lovely Frame project!

The first frame was inspired by a certain scene from my recent Big Bang, and the second frame was inspired by the famous wedding kiss scene from Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

Thank you so much to the mods for organising this. Make sure to give all the artists some love! 🥰❤️

Introducing After the Fall, my submission for the Our Flag Means Death Big Bang 2025.

When Ed Teach gets into a car accident on the road to nowhere, a kindly family offers him a ride, and he is accidentally whisked away to Phillip Island at the beginning of its weekend-long whale festival. Shortly after he arrives, Ed meets whale watching tour guide, Stede Bonnet, and Stede takes Ed under his wing to experience everything the island has to offer. In the course of the weekend, Ed comes to terms with some pain in his past, and he finds the courage to begin a new journey where he may finally find true happiness.

Featuring art by Bakerbelle and Wellsussed.

Queerbait aint dead, btw, it's just evolved

Queerbait used to be "Two cis white men in a toxic codependency that can be read as romantic if you squint hard enough"

These days, queerbait is "Media giant such as Disney or HBO Max decide to hire an openly queer writer to pour their entire heart and soul into a series. The series resonates with its queer target audiences, drawing us in by the dozens. Series is too gay so media giant cancels it"

My fic for OFMD Reverse Big Bang is here with art by @smolbus!

Wealthy landowner turned lighthouse keeper Stede Bonnet has been dreaming of going out to sea. Those dreams are definitely not getting any weaker when he finds a pen pal, a mysterious seaman named Jeff. One morning, after a stormy night, Stede finds a man lying on the beach, injured and half-drowned. But as he nurses the man back to health, Stede starts to suspect that this man is not really a stranger to him at all, and perhaps so much more...

Posting two chapters twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays throughout July. 💜

Rhys said that Stede’s song would be “Rainbow Connection” from The Muppets Movie, so I hyperfocused and made The Rainbow Connection zine for Please enjoy the zine featuring distinguished gentleman, George. 😽🌈
