wait did someone write a fanfic inspired off of your hlvrai pirate au or were u the one to write it
inspired by my au, diagonalcrosswalks (or adysondragoncreations on instagram!) wrote this beautiful fic :] it is sssooo good, and I’ve drawn some art for it, literally so delightful in every way. if there’s any more, I’d love to read them too.
my piece for the Frenrey Zine! (@frenreyzine) I did a pirate au thing, since this au was kinda my bread and butter for a bit and I thought it’d be silly :) It was my first time doing a double spread for a zine, and I think it turned out pretty nice still!
Thank you all so much for supporting the book! Its all for a good cause! It was an honor to run such an amazing project alongside Bats, and we can’t wait to do more, honestly! Go check out Pink to Blue, the shop is re-open while supplies last!
Also here’s just two of my portraits for the collab at the end of the book:
Once I thought about this prompt in context of @melonsharks’ Pirate!AU, I absolutely had to do it. This was supposed to end shortly after the kiss, with only a brief reference to what happens after, but then I wanted to write the cool climactic scene, and then I realized that the part after the kiss had taken up way more space than the part before the kiss. Ah well. Sometimes it’s like that. (Also, a savvy reader may recognize elements of the climax from a Redwall book, though I’ll be danged if I can remember which one. I read all of them multiple times as a kid, so just trust me on this. It was a very cool scene.)
36: …to give up control.
Gordon comes to flat on his back, and he must have only been knocked silly for a moment, because particles of wood and dust are still falling through the new hole in the deck that he’s staring up at. Through the gap, he can see a section of the mast and the sails, tattered at one corner where a cannonball took out a rope and tore the edge loose, sending the cloth fluttering in the breeze.
Overhead, there are pounding footsteps and shouts, but Gordon can’t focus enough to think about that right now - he’s too busy trying to pull air into his deflated lungs. His hook scrapes the planking he’s laying on, but he hasn’t got enough strength yet to haul himself upright. He can’t catch his breath - why can’t he catch his breath?
“Great shot, Bubby!” Coomer bellows from somewhere on the deck above, and Gordon relaxes slightly. He hadn’t realized he was still tensed up, and that movement allows air into his shocked lungs in a painful, burning rush. He wheezes a few breaths in, then kicks his elbows back and manages to push himself up far enough to see that there’s a spar of wood punched through his right calf.
“Where’s the captain?” Tommy’s voice yells, sounding more distant than Coomer’s.
“He’s right - oh. Oh, dear.” Coomer’s voice gets closer, and then his head is silhouetted poking over the edge of the new hole in the deck. “Ah! Hello, Gordon!”
hi. LOL. this is my preview for the frenrey zine im running over at @frenreyzine! it’s currently in production and the pdfs were already sent out but i figured i would post this for the people who don’t wanna peek at their pdf until their physical books arrive (godspeed btw)
HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS? All Fools On Deck by DiagonalCrosswalks dropped its last chapter recently!
Agh, what a fantastic fic! It was so fun to watch someone interpret my silly little ramblings about silly pirates into such a wonderfully written comedy/adventure/romance epic. Everything was tied together SO well, and it really hit home that which is most important to me in aus like this: the science team! is! a family! AND BENREY IS PART OF IT! Anyways, if you haven’t read it yet, go do that!! Its amazing!!
