  • It’s a gentlebeard lemonade stand meet-cute for this week’s epitizer!

    PilotPirate has sent in her podfic narration of Anathxmadevice’s “when life gives you lemons.” It’s a short, 6,600-word, explicit fic that’s described by fans as “Absolutely lovely and hot.”

    Ed Teach, new to the town of Revenge, stops by the lemonade stand across the street from his house every Friday. It's definitely because he loves Alma's lemonade, and definitely not because he's got a crush on her absurdly hot dad.

    Check them out on AO3:

Also included: a few behind the scenes tidbits direct from Con about the number one character!

  • This week’s minisode is narrated by Gutis, also known as Cheesecake3 on AO3. It’s ‘Just Keep Your Eyes On Me’ by KalansPhantom, Pastor_of_Muppets. Though the overall fic is rated E, there's nothing explicit in the first chapter.

    Here’s the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55403533/chapters/140573446

    And here's Cheesecake3 on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/cheesecake3

    And here’s the summary: 

    Edward Teach is in love with his best friend and co-owner of Revenge Therapies, but he knows that nothing will ever happen between them. When he's invited to a BDSM convention to give a talk about Kink Aware Therapy, he decides to take it as a chance to unwind and maybe find a playmate in the scene to destress. Because, one of the other secrets he keeps away from Stede are the years he's spent as a dominant in the community.

    Instead, one Stede Bonnet appears wanting to support Ed as he runs his panel, except somehow the most oblivious man in the world appears to be completely unaware at just what sort of convention he's stumbled into.

    Ed must protect this man at all costs.

  •  Baby Kraken is back on the podcast this week with two podfic narrations by daydreamcrash. “Would that be cool?” is for teen and up audiences and is based on the author’s post Season 2 trailer / pre-season 2 theory they posted on twitter, this theory reads “i do think that if rumour goes around that blackbeard is crashing weddings then the smart (stupid) thing for stede to do would be set up a fuckery of a wedding…”

    The other podfic is “once upon a poolside” — it’s an angsty fic that deals with loss, but has a whole lot of love between Ed and Stede. It’s inspired by our wives under the sea by julia armfield. This short, 2000 word fic has about 49 comments of love on it. It’s repeatedly described as “Pure poetry. Devastating poetry.”

    Check them out on AO3:
