Doing another little fanart appreciation thread for #FanArtFriday! This week I'm going to boost some of the lovely OFMD art I've come across on here over the past month or so, just to spread some love! 💖
If you are even mildly interested in #steddyhands and you enjoy longform fic, I hope you might give this a shot now that it's complete. It's pretty different from a lot of the steddyhands that i've read. The focus is on very slow burning character growth and romance, healing trauma and bringing about healthier dynamics for these boys. ALL of them have lessons to learn, and the journey is not linear.
It is very #edizzy focused, as stede doesn't even appear until a third of the way through.
If you do give it a shot, thank you so much! This is the longest single fic by a single author in the ofmd fandom on Ao3, and i am so humbled by anyone attempting to read it all 😅
This final art (not the only art in the fic) is by @neo__pessimist 💖
Featuring art by Betta, this fic is about how the events of OFMD s1 would proceed if Stede's age when leaving home matched his experience level (ie. He's a 20 year old twink).
I ended up writing 8 fics for this event in total. The ed/izzy divorce fic is unfinished and on a break for obvious reasons. Everything else is complete. Links in thread
I have 4 unpublished written chapters here, but im pausing posting them. I do plan on finishing writing this. TBD on when though. Honestly i havent written much at all (for me) since the finale.
@IzzyCanyon You know that clip of the crowd at a Mountain Goats show all scream-singing along to No Children together, turning this awful heartbreaking tragedy of a song into a communal experience of joy and resilience. That's what today felt like for #EdIzzy shippers. Anyway I have that song on repeat now because I'm normal about television.
What if Ed realized the pain he was experiencing in ep10 was of a kind with what Izzy had felt about him for so long? What if Izzy never threatened "Edward" and he never became The Kraken? What if the crew of the Revenge helped a pair of idiots out of their toxic patterns and they found happiness? And then Stede arrived...
