I got to draw for @actofgrace23's amazing fic "Roll for Charisma" for this year's OFMD Big Bang! They wrote such a fantastic story reimagining canon as a campaign (with some player metagaming shenanigans, of course).

Image one: The fanfic title "Roll for Charisma." Mini-figures of Stede and Ed as they appear on the show bookend the title.

Image two: Over drinks in the library café, an excited Ed holds Stede's hand over the table. Stede shyly looks back as responds.

Image three: Stede and Ed embrace in a passionate kiss over the table. Ed's DM screen and random dice go flying over the players' papers and pencils. Fang and Lucius are ecstatic. Izzy shields his eyes and sarcastically sticks out his tongue in distaste. The top of Oluwande's hat can be seen next to Izzy.

I got Rae as my partner for the OFMD Big Bang and she wrote a lovely fic named Hotel Beds. I got the wonderful pleasure to draw something for the fic and let me just say, it is such a beautifully written story. It was so hard to choose which scene to draw, but I felt this part was a very tender yet vulnerable moment that needed some art for it.

Please go check out Rae’s fic below and share it! https://href.li/?https://archiveofourown.org/works/51678250

Rating: E

Additional Tags: written before S2, Walking, Meet-Cute, Stede Bonnet Loves Blackbeard | Edward Teach, Blackbeard | Edward Teach Loves Stede Bonnet, Found Family, First Time

Warnings: None

Summary: Stede and Mary moved the family to Switzerland for Mary’s job. The kids were young, and Stede didn’t have a working visa; he stayed at home. By the time the kids started school full time, he and Mary agreed that, for the sake of the children, a divorce was the only option. That way, they might at least preserve their friendship.

A new job, a new apartment, a routine of his own.

Committed to remaining friends, Stede and Mary decide to join a Saturday morning walking club. For the first time ever, for a few hours each week, Stede's free to spend time with adults who aren’t dull-as-dishwater colleagues, equally-exhausted fellow parents, or disastrous dates. He might even find a friend—or more.

Each week, Stede interacts with a different member of the Random Rambles crew, making ever more radical decisions about his life (quitting his job! opening a community centre!)--and growing closer and closer to fellow walker Ed.

Where might he be by summer's end?

OFMD Big Bang posting time! I am so excited y’all finally get to see this fic, it’s hilarious and incredibly sweet, and makes my little high school orchestra heart squeal. The slow burn between Stede and Ed is torturous and perfect, and there are so many fun interactions with the rest of the crew, plus some amazing Alma and Stede shenanigans! @musicallyformentingchaos was a joy to work with! Seriously, the level of detail and thought she put into this is insane!! I’m honored to be the artist :))

Warnings: None

Summary: Blackbeard is bored. Bored enough to accept an unusual task from Jackie - break into one Edward Bonnet’s estate to steal important documents. It helps that he has his best idea for a fuckery yet, and that it has the potential to piss Izzy off. Meanwhile, Stede Bonnet wants to get married for love, but he’ll settle for marrying someone who would help him get the heck away from Barbados. When the Fingertons show up, he can’t believe his luck. Not only will he leave with them, he also seems to have a great connection with his intended bride’s brother, Jeff. It’s just such a shame that Izabella Fingerton is such an angry little lady…

Title: blue as cut sapphires and shining like gold Author: suchgreatheights Artists: summerraayn and Schnublet Beta readers: jackuntiljune, scarrletmoon, sovngarde, and TragicSeas Characters: Stede Bonnet, Edward Teach, Lucius Spriggs, Crew of the Revenge, Mary Allamby Bonnet, Alma Bonnet, Louis Bonnet, Israel Hands Relationship(s): Stede/Edward; implied Fang/Lucius/Pete; implied Doug/Mary Rating:  Explicit Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Professor AU, mutual pining, slow burn, fluff, angst with a happy ending, hurt/comfort, gratuitous smut Warnings: none Summary:

Stede, a history professor specializing in the golden age of piracy, is fascinated when art professor Edward Teach joins his humble university’s faculty. Even more fascinating are the rumors that Ed is actually the famous, anonymous artist, Blackbeard. Stede falls a little bit in love. Then a lot. Across the academic year, Stede tips headfirst into dizzying romance, mind-blowing sex, and happiness he couldn't have dreamed up if he'd tried. He learns lessons he never knew he needed, forcing him to reevaluate everything from his career goals to his relationships with his children. Ed is at the center of it all, teaching Stede at every turn exactly how wonderful life can be—and the startling speed with which fear and hesitation could snatch away his newfound love. Eventually, the only thing that matters for them both is learning enough about love to stop it from slipping through their fingers.
