About
Hi all! My name is Marianne, but I also go by Emy or Em. I'm in my 30s and had accepted the fact I had hung up my fandom shoes until Our Flag Means Death pulled me back in. Now I'm back to spilling out all my emotions in tags, writing fic, and just generally vibing with all the gay pirate love. Spoilers for OFMD will be tagged as "OFMD spoilers." You can also find me on AO3 as emynn. Messages/inbox are always open to talk it through as a crew. Blog is occasionally NSFW -- blacklist #nsfw if you would prefer not to view that content.

    The new year is fast approaching, and Stede’s desperate to cross at least ONE thing off his very old bucket list so he can prove to himself that the last five years (and by extension his entire life) haven’t been a complete waste. The mission? Learn to French braid. The complication? The salon he chose for his mission is closed because it’s New Year’s Eve. The unexpected solution? A beautiful stranger with kind eyes and the most insanely gorgeous hair offers to Teach (heh) him.

    This is a New Year’s AU for those who hate New Year’s. Or, rather, have some rather messy, complicated feelings about how all the twinkling lights and period of reflection emphasizes feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment that leads to an annual period of existential dread, but that doesn’t make for as catchy a tagline.

    Read On a Clear Day (16K, explicit) on AO3 here.

  • btw the position of this blog is that "is stede bonnet a soft uwu creampuff or a violent maniac" is a "nice dichotomy idiot what lies outside it" situation, stede has a giant pile of hangups that cause him to simultaneously crave and be repulsed by his own capacity for violence and that's one of the several ways he and ed are the same person played in a different key
