Yeah, what to say...
So dumb I will prob delete later, but hey. We're all just trying to get through the day, yeah?
This was from a prompt generator on BSKY.
For fun, my favorite version of Vincent Black Lightning, by an old neighbor:

Summary
Ed and Stede take a walk through my docs folder. A meta-fic about tiny gods.
(I can't really explain it other than it's a rock with googly eyes)This should really have a proper index but:
Title and line near the end come from Scott Ballew's Tiny Gods (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqzIVzH7sSc)
Quote Stede reads comes from Master and Commander by Patrick O.Brian
Ginkgo and The Moon is a children's picture book by Lisa Mertins
This entire fic is seeded with bits of my existing fics and my WIPS as well. The Master and Commander quote was also in New Old Friend, as is the Princess Bride quote and scene, the lighthouses were in Love in the Time of Payphones, "Inside Joke" was the name of the book Ed wrote in Those Darlins, etc. Obviously there are a million references to the show itself, some in reverse, some out of context. -

For the prompt wintertime sads. As their second Christmas approaches at the inn, Stede gets a case of the deep greens. Ed worries. A misunderstanding ensues.
The companion song for this fic: U2's Ultra Violet Live (warning for flashing lights)

Summary
Every happy ending has a beginning.
Before the famous Blackbeard, before the romance with a certain Gentleman Pirate, Edward Teach was a young waif, thirteen years old, blood on his hands and the life at sea as a pirate his only escape. Life under the clever but cold Ben Hornigold isn't easy, and less so for the youngest member of the crew who can't seem to stay out of trouble. It takes all of Edward's wit, cunning, and sheer tenacity just to survive, let alone find his own way in the world full of people who want to keep him in his place.
Never Shall We Die is an epic story full of adventure and freedom, wild joy, crushing despair, friends, enemies, mentors and lovers... Watch as Edward Teach grows from a boy to a man, discovering himself and honing his skills to become the greatest pirate the world has ever known.
