@janesane I'm sorry it took me so long to get to read this gem, and know about Nedward :blobcatheartsqueeze:
Still in awe how Portman reflects all the canon themes like a barber's mirror and still is the most captivating character of his own.

#OFMDFicRec: You Can Worship the Ashes by hopeless_eccentric (T, 3k)

As fire took hold of the fort, the water below mirrored it, a crimson reflection pooling around the hull of The Revenge. In the eerie light, the heart on the thrashing flag almost seemed to be bleeding.

He could only pray that Ed would send Izzy Hands to kill him, though that wish came at the terrible cost of that smug face being the last thing he saw.

Perhaps he did want to live.

#OFMDFicRec: Different Names for the Same Thing, by oatmilktruther (8k, T)

*Their first anniversary is just around the corner and Ed has never been happier in a relationship. Stede, on the other hand, could be happier, if he knew he was in the relationship in the first place.*

https://archiveofourown.org/works/47731306

The premise is one that could be a bit mean about Stede's obliviousness, but personally I found it to be very kindly handled. They just love each other so much. #OFMD #gentlebeard @gentlebeard

#OFMDFicRec: Proud, by ElapsedSpiral (1717 words, T)

The thing is: Ed Teach likes a hug.
Correction: Ed Teach fucking *loves* a hug.
