HI ALL!

I've been talking about this on bsky, but if you haven't seen, I'm running a super informal fanwork event at the end of this month! If you, like me, are a fan of many different TV shows, and also can't stop imagining our beloved pirates in different scenarios (all totally made up) then may I interest you in an event where you can combine these interests?

(I will mostly be keeping up with this on bsky so feel free to find this post there, but I hope my beloved tumblrinas will get involved too!)

Hello my dear!

I am searching for cross over fics from GO with OFMD. Might be that Crowley IS Blackbeard, might be all characters are included somehow. Do you have any recs for me? All ratings welcome, especially E 😂🤗 thank you very much!

aziraphales-library answered:

Hi. We have an #ofmd crossover tag, so check that out. We also have a #pirates tag you might enjoy. Here are some crossovers to add and a pirate fic with omfd references…

The Inn by the Sea by corinthiancore (T)

After hearing the news that the notorious pirate Blackbeard had opened a rather successful inn by the sea, Crowley eagerly tempts Aziraphale to take a vacation with him.
Stede noticed the blonde glaring at the ginger from behind, exhaling sharply. “I told you to miracle us two separate rooms.” he grumbled through gritted teeth.
“What and kick out more guests?” the ginger retorted with a dismissive shrug. “At least I got us a big room.”
Stede and Ed exchanged a glance, both thinking the same thing—they were completely gay and insane.

Kiss Your Eyes And Repent by Pastor_of_Muppets (T)

Ed Teach is in love with his best friend, Stede Bonnet. When he accidentally runs into another blonde man with a weird name (Aziraphale? What is it with the queers names in this place?) they start chatting… Meanwhile, Stede Bonnet meets a Mr. Crowley who suggests a scheme to make Ed (and maybe Aziraphale) jealous. Will someone make a move already??

an olive branch, of sorts by stationary_cycle (T)

Hell ordered Crowley to secure Blackbeard’s soul, but he didn’t have to do it like this; he didn’t have to drag Chauncey out there, hand him a gun and directions to Bonnet’s bunk on a silver platter. He didn’t have to rip Bonnet from Edward so callously.
But he did, and now here they are.

The Serpent’s Angel by puffmunch_queen13 (T)

“We are here to commandeer this ship!” an oh-so-full-of-himself voice declared. “Principality, take away their alcohol.”
“Er…yes, Gabriel,” an all-too-familiar voice replied.
Crowley felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart. (In a familiar, exhilarating sort of way.) He pushed through the crowd his crew had formed, deliberately exaggerating his swagger. “‘Ello, Aziraphale,” he said with a bow.
The angel’s face lit up and one hand flew to his mouth in delight. “Crowley!”
[ It is the year 1717, and Crowley has been dabbling in the art of piracy. Unfortunately, after he steals a map to a certain flaming sword from Sandalphon, Heaven sends Gabriel and Aziraphale to deal with him. Chaos, love confessions, and shenanigans ensue. It’s approximately 70% fluff/pining/banter/romance, 20% crack, 9% angst, and 1% plot. ]

Underrated moment (that I underrated until I just watched it): Ed in the crow's nest, sitting back in a moment of rapture over the marmalade.

He's the most successful pirate in history. He's rich, he's powerful, he's respected. And he has obviously rarely, if ever, felt like he was living. Simply eating good marmalade that someone else brought him (just because they like him) makes him re-evaluate his whole life. And he says what he wants: to learn how to live the high life. To learn how to live better.

I love our flag means death so fucking much because they were like “here are two guys. They’re in love. One of them is a dilf who kills a man because he hurt his boyfriend and then immediately slams said boyfriend into the wall to make out with him. The other is a babygirl who wears a cat collar and builds blanket forts and asks his boyfriend to practice his ‘captain voice’ on him. Now guess which fucking one is which.”

‘Get off my ship’

Just thinking about this scene. Ed does have claim to the Revenge having commandeered it in 103. It’s how these things work.

If Ed really is the monster he thinks he is, he could say to Stede, ‘Only by the grace of Blackbeard do you still get to call yourself Captain.’ Ed could easily lay full claim to the Revenge, refuse to budge. Make Stede leave instead. Not sleep on a beach. But he doesn’t take the role even for a little while. And there are many reasons why, both good and not so.

And co-captains? It’s nothing to do with who captains the Revenge. It might help the crew’s confusion a little, but between Stede and Ed, it’s an unspoken emotional understanding telling Ed not to leave, that Stede wants him to stay.

Co-captains is a domestic partnership agreement.

Ed never lays claim to the Revenge until Stede isn’t on it anymore. And cedes control immediately once Stede returns - ‘I’m not captain anymore, you are.’

Even if it doesn’t always occur in the best of circumstances, I really like Ed’s respect for Stede’s captaincy.
