the only proof the field existed series by @nonagethimus/morian
"So, this… look you're going for," Lucius starts, testing the waters. Blackbeard stares at him with vacant eyes. Jesus. Lucius is viscerally reminded of the man's dead-eyed look before he pushed him overboard. "Does it feel like the right choice for you? Are we happy with it?" "Do you have a fever?" Blackbeard asks, voice hoarse. Lucius cocks his head and says, "Don't think so. Do I look hot?" He winks. Blackbeard lifts his hand and presses his fingers roughly against Lucius' forehead. "What are you—" "No fever," Blackbeard grunts and draws back. "Good. Didn't want to cut off your fucking hand." Lucius drawls, "I'm touched." Or: Lucius survives. For better or for worse.

So! While watching Our Flag Means Death I wasn’t particularly interested in reading fic for it, however this author is brilliant and I have enjoyed a lot of his fics, so I had to read this series! Some wonderful character studies, the first fic focusses on Lucius and the next focusses on Edward. The voices of both characters were captured beautifully, and I am so grateful to be able to reread these fics in hardcover. It is an A6 size book with a cutout, and I was hugely inspired by bythecrow on instagram and their books. One day I will have the courage to do some embroidery! Today is not that day lol. Colours chosen because of the wonderful outfits contained within the show, and because they are just FUN. The cover design and the endpapers are a printed William Morris design, which I think was done in the century after the show is set, but with the way the characters talk in the show, I’m sure it’s fine!
