On this: I can’t really “write for myself” cause myself is a terrible audience (overly critical and easily distracted). I tend to write for one person at a time. It’s not the SAME person each time, but every time I write I am thinking about telling the story to one person I care about.

#OFMD art from Chey Girl April 2024:

Close enough. Edward Teach:

Stede and Ed are Husbands by David Jenkins

"if you go home with somebody, and they don't have tureens, don't fuck them." —stede bonnet, probably

Everyone say “thank you, Samba!”

Lookit that. You wear fine things well.

Okay, I couldn't stop thinking about this and just wrote something incredibly stupid. Stand by...

Do you like your boys soggy with a side of crushing out on each other? Go read this delightful fic!

We do not talk about this shiny coat enough. She’s a beaut.

The cat distribution system is real!! archiveofourown.org/works/77632781 Love you, friend!!

that last one is the revenge

Never left.

I am actively writing Artist!Ed, but I have the following published Eds: Airport operations manager Actor Is casino owner like an innkeeper? Professor Mafia boss NASA astronaut Bartender x 1,000 (in one fic) Hairdresser

We did it, chat. We finally figured out why HBO Max cancelled OFMD. 😭

I got Kira!!!! I wanted to be Jadzia as a kid, but in my heart I know I’m Jadzia’s shorter, angrier best friend.

I try to work this weird little hop skip thing into every fic lbecause it feels like Peak Ed to have a grumpy serious face and those little feets kicking around.

OFMD modern AU where Pete runs a rural transport company called Pete Around the Bush

People will still debate what Star Trek "should" be but, if they do some research, they'll discover what the man who created it meant to convey:" I believe that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day it learns to value diversity in life and in ideas.” -- G Roddenberry

A little #OFMDSkyfic, just a S3 hc I’ve had banging around in my brain… The Revenge, daytime. We hear the first chords of The Magnetic Fields’ “The Book of Love.” The camera glides through scenes throughout the ship, wordlessly building anticipation for the coming celebration. (1/?)

3 hrs later and I just got the pun.

Thank the stars above for fanfic, my friends. Raise your hand if you have personally put Stede Bonnet in therapy 👋

I think one of the best things about OFMD fandom is the appreciation of not only the main cast/creator, but the entire cast and crew. Someone who was on screen for maybe 60sec. Set and props. Costumes. Make up. Writers. Directors. Jobs I didn’t even know existed! Celebrating everyone! Bravo! 👏🏻 #BOF2

still obsessed with this idea. s3 would have been an incredible exploration of love as a feeling versus love as a choice that i think we don't really often get to see

My most deeply held belief/superstition is that as long as David keeps the S3 playlist a secret, we have hope for S3. (I also wanna see it, so y’know, I contain multitudes)

Two human years. OFMD brought together an immensely talented cast and crew to imagine a queerer, kinder world. Through our stories and art, we’ve kept that world alive. Through fundraising and mutual aid, we bring that kindness off the screen and into our community.

So, so many. My first big fandom memory is when I very anxiously asked in fic club for advice on writing a historical AU and everyone summoned @clairegregoryau.bsky.social, who promptly gave the best advice. Being welcomed into a community of writers has changed my life for the better. 💜💜💜

shhhh the boyfriends are kissing

This is so much funnier in a post-Heated Rivalry universe. Little does this commenter know: The left has not yet begun to buttcheek!

This is the one @merryfinches.bsky.social made for my NASA boys! 💖💖💖

Ok, maybe it’s a reflex now to say “Our Flag Means Death,” but more than ever we need stories about established queer relationships. Love enduring through hard times. People who help each other grow and change. The story doesn’t end when you find love. It’s the start.

Have we ever heard from the sound team on OFMD? I was just thinking about whoever made the decisions on how much creaky leather noise to put in when Ed moves around, and how it was exactly the right amount. 🖤

Please go read this, it’s so beautiful.

Can you guys believe that this absolutely stunning image is from a silly little romantic/workplace comedy about pirates?

We are six days away from the second anniversary of the cancellation, and we’re still here, dammit! (Also, FoTC is on this list. I see you, probably very underpaid EW staff writer! 💜)

I’ll take it!

thank you for all the home cooked meals ❤️

What was the last movie or tv show you watched in 2025? I didn’t intend for it to be OFMD, but seeing Stede Bonnet not die and meet the love of his life feels like a hopeful way to close out the year.

It’s about belonging to something. 💜

Why can’t one be a pirate and a princess? #OFMD

I need this like air.

You know what's fun about an OFMD rewatch? Hearing all your friends' usernames shouted out in sequence. Love you all!

YESSSSS!!! I'm gonna make such a good Earl, you guys!

There's loving a TV show, which is nice and fun and makes my brain fizzy. That's happened to me many times in my life. And then there's loving a TV show so much I join up with an international band of weirdos who care deeply about each other and about the world. That's only happened to me once.

Btw, doing a deep dive for this answer led me to find an album I have been searching for since the early 2000’s!! Sew True by Tattle Tale (elder millennial queers probably recognize Glass Vase Cello Case from But I’m a Cheerleader) www.last.fm/music/Tattle...

My personal hard mode should be “No Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, or Ani DiFranco” but whatever.

You all know about my OFMD feelings, but hear me out: Kate and Emaline on Everything Sucks. 💖
