My 2024 Fandom Trumps Hate fic is here :)
Building a ship to go off on an adventure with his family had seemed like the best option to escape his mundane life, but when Stede Bonnet told his wife about the plans he had in motion, everything fell apart.
The words he'd planned to say meant nothing. His dreams meant nothing. Wedging them in a bottle, he hurled it out to sea, somewhere he would never ever go.
He never expected that someone would find it, but find it they did...

"This character Madigan resonates for me because I had a drama teacher that did the same thing for me. That was one of the reasons I took this part on because it felt special to me."
– Rhys Darby (On playing drama teacher Brother Madigan In Uproar)
Mary’s gloves are barely keeping her warm in the shack, and her hands are shaking too hard, so she tugs them off, tucking them in her coat pocket. The Arctic wind is frigid on her bare skin, but she has to do this. She has to know.
“And—you saw them?” she asks the man in front of her.
She’s not even sure how Doug found him—his shack is so deep in the wilderness that Mary had nearly turned back a dozen times, but.
But she has to know.
It’s not like she and Stede were ever a love match—honestly, when his expedition hadn’t returned as expected, a part of her had been almost happy, relieved, knowing that the marriage was delayed for a while longer. But then time had stretched further and further and further, until it was six months, a year, more, and.
And yes, she and Stede hadn’t chosen each other—never would have, given their own freedom—but that didn’t mean she wanted him lost in the Arctic!
So she’d appealed to every wealthy man and widow she could think of, tried to raise funds for a mission to find them, or at least to find out what happened to them, and that’s how she’d met Doug, the personal portrait painter of Lord Franklin.
And then she’d ended up here, in Canada, in the hut of an ageless Scot who hasn’t blinked in the entire twenty minutes she’s been inside his strange, empty home.
“Aye,” he says after a long moment. “I saw them, indeed.”
She opens her satchel, finds the portrait of Stede, pulls it out and points. “You saw him? Stede Bonnet, you saw him?”
The man gives the portrait a long look. It’s not the most flattering likeness of Stede ever taken—he’s always been a man who doesn’t quite fit in his skin, who shows it in daguerreotypes in a way he can almost mask in person—but it’s definitely him.
this being the preview image for the terror on netflix is soooo funny like. wheeee we are arctic exploring!!! we are so excited to be here!!! everything is going so well and nothing is wrong!!!
A commission for @dramatic-opening-shot , James and Francis, finally free, walking somewhere beyond. For some reason for me arctic poppies are deeply associated with the other side now.

I was left unsupervised and wrote an OFMD S2 and beyond version of We Didn't Start the Fire 😁
Stede dream-fighting Izzy Hands,
Ed is wrecking wedding plans,
The republic,
Spanish Jackie, Swede is quite the snack,
Roach keeps cooking, Buttons pining,
Wee John warns about the stabbing,
Poor old Izzy getting dizzy,
Tattoo on Ed's back.
Minor Prince, puzzle chest,
Swede says marriage is best,
Thieving planned, husband chore,
treasure chest right out the door,
Indigo and coins gleam,
Crew's got a new queen,
Zheng Yi Sao and the Red Flag,
The Republic, goodbye.
[Chorus]
We didn't raise the flag
But we'll keep it waving
For this show we're saving
We didn't raise the flag
But they tried to drop it
We won't let them stop it
[Verse 2]
Izzy shot and Blackbeard done,
Frenchie gets a promotion,
Wooden boy voice, blood all over,
Lucius is back.
Good soup, the Queen wins,
Is the Revenge sinking??
Izzy shoots Ed, the crew attack.
Bonnet gets on,
all escape though Ed is gone,
golden merman, raised from dead,
come back to him, butt his head.
Exiled. Magic bowl,
Buttons turning to a gull,
Leg kaput, make a new foot
Unicorn is Izzy
[Chorus]
We didn't raise the flag
But we'll keep it waving
For this show we're saving
We didn't raise the flag
But they tried to drop it
We won't let them stop it
[Verse 3]
Apology, cat bell,
Lucius pushes Ed as well,
Fang on a fishing boat,
Stede's got a cursed red coat,
Ed reflects, fish is his,
Time for a little kiss.
Hand-in-hand, going slow,
Hunted down by Ned Low,
Planning party, urchins,
Stede's bathtub used for drinks
Drag, songs and rainbows,
For goddess Calypso.
Low comes, torture led,
Took violin to the head.
Stede is shaken, grabs for Ed
Fireworks as they go to bed.
[Chorus]
We didn't raise the flag
But we'll keep it waving
For this show we're saving
We didn't raise the flag
But they tried to drop it
We won't let them stop it
[Verse 4]
Ricky Banes, Zheng's plan,
Bonnet is the fucking man,
Ed is leaving,
The British Invasion,
Leathers brought from under waves,
English soldiers put in graves,
Jackie, poison-trained,
Pirates get away again,
Crew sad, Izzy dead,
Stede is in the inn with Ed
Revenge crew sail away
Will they see another day?
[Chorus]
We didn't raise the flag
But we'll keep it waving
For this show we're saving
We didn't raise the flag
But they tried to drop it
We won't let them stop it
[Verse 5]
Show cancelled, Jenkins sad,
Casey says numbers were bad,
Press takes a look,
Is Zaslav a crook?
Gay twitter here to fight,
BS leak on bird-site,
Pirate violence is a 'shock',
HBO is roundly mocked,
Time Square billboard, LA plane,
DJenks says they're free again,
Lubewatch trend, lots of press,
New network stress,
S2 now on BBC,
Kristian Nairn live on IG,
fans are craving what's in store,
I can't take it anymore
[Chorus]
We didn't raise the flag
But we'll keep it waving
For this show we're saving
We didn't raise the flag
But they tried to drop it
We won't let them stop it
It will still wave on, and on
And on, and on
