#WIPWednesday for my and @intheblanketfort.bsky.social’s collab, starting for #OFMDBisexualWeek 💜🩷💙 What happens after a presumably straight but divorced Stede Bonnet meets a guardian angel in leather who tends to his cycling injuries? #OFMDfanfic

Ed turns and walks towards his bike. He makes a striking figure from any angle. Stede wishes he were that cool looking—hell, that sexy looking. But then he supposes very few people are. 
Once Ed has put his helmet on and straddles his bike, he looks over his shoulder at Stede. “Coming?” he asks in an amused tone, since Stede seems rooted to the spot he’s in. 
“Yes!” Stede hurries forward, thankfully more steady on his feet now, and climbs on the back of the bike. He tries to keep his body as far back on the seat as possible, but there isn’t much room between his crotch and Ed’s bottom. 
“Ever ride before?” Ed asks. 
“No,” Stede squeaks. He clears his throat. “Never.”
“Just hold on to my waist, and grip her tightly with your knees.”
Stede obliges. The leather of Ed’s jacket is warm from his body, surprisingly soft and supple under his hands. His banged-up knee aches a little, but he manages to use his thigh muscles to grip the bike without too much discomfort. “Got it,” stede says. 
“Sorry I don’t have a helmet for you,” Ed says, “but we’re not going far and you have your bike helmet, at least.” He looks over his shoulder and winks. “Promise I’ll go real slow, okay?”
“Yup. Yes.” There’s the squeak again. “Thank you,” he adds in a more normal tone. 
Ed turns the ignition, the engine starts with a roar, and they take off—slowly, as promised. Even so, it’s exhilarating being on the back of a bike! Stede fights off the urge to wrap around Ed and lean forward. That must be something he’s seen in the movies.

For #WIPWednesday, a sketch from something @drcfxtina.bsky.social and I are working on for #OFMDBisexualWeek 🩷💜💙

A photo of a digital pencil sketch alongside a reference. The reference is an image of Ed Teach, clad in leather, long hair loose around his shoulders, looking down at Stede (not pictured) laying on the deck. The sketch emulates the pose and adds a motorcycle helmet tucked under one arm and a first aid kit slung over Ed's shoulder.

Jack in this story is (<Stede voice> was 😌) right up there with the most awful Jacks of all time, so this was a very satisfying piece of art to make, as the only one in this chapter. For Arthur and Curtis and Stede 🐊

A pair of alligators circles a Crocodile Dundee-style hat in the water. The left alligator is… very round. The duck floats serenely by at the top left.

Big transition for me today. Dropped my one and only kid off at university. Doing okay, but it'll be a big adjustment for all of us. Very excited to see what he does out in the world.

in the spirit of fighting my own perfectionism or whatever, please have the first part of this story that's been sitting in my drafts for a year 😬 old 4t4 ed/stede lose their place and go live with their kids. based on 'love is strange' and 'bagbhan.' archiveofourown.org/works/907497...
