Title: my courage always rises, by Aletea Summary: A Ouizzy Pride & Prejudice AU It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an unmated alpha in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of an omega, but no one ever stopped to consider whether an unmated omega must in turn be in want of an alpha. Frenchie is grateful for the position granted to him at Bonnet House. He’s found security and friendship, which are hard to find as an unmarried omega with no family. He wants to keep Bonnet House safe, but that safety is threatened when Stede falls for Edward Teach, a self-made alpha new to the neighborhood. He brings his friend Izzy Hands along with him, who Frenchie finds to be the most aggravating man he has ever met.

Hi all!

We're your Gateway Server team, and we try to list the OFMD events and the OFMD Discord servers in our Gateway Server! Emphasis on try, because there are only four of us and many pirates like yourselves.

🧵 1/8

I've written the first 4 chapters (out of a planned 22) of my Ouizzy omegaverse Pride and Prejudice AU and am having so much fun with it. I keep finding new things to weave in. Frenchie is so prickly, and Izzy is so awkward!

Author means you're signing up to write 🥰

All amazing prompts left! You can still sign up as a pinch hitter, link in the thread below.

Yup! I'm one of the mods, and pinch hitter sign ups are open and they will have a chance at remaining slides in round 3 (which starts tomorrow)

We have some incredible slides available for pinch hitters starting tomorrow at 12pm ET! Sign up as a pinch hitter using the form below to have a chance to participate in this year's #OFMDReverseBang.

And then in very short order, all three of them had joined the dancers, leaving Frenchie alone with what might be the angriest looking man in the entire county. Well, why not? Maybe the angry little man was a good dancer. And at least he hadn’t been overly forward. Frenchie turned to face him. “Do you dance, Mr. Hands?” Mr. Hands met his gaze, and Frenchie almost recoiled from the force of it. He might not be able to tell alpha from omega scent in a crowd like this, but Mr. Hands had a presence that said exactly what he was. It didn’t matter that the man’s hair had gone completely gray and that he was so much shorter than Frenchie; he felt like he was being towered over anyway. Or judged, maybe. Like Frenchie was the one responsible for what had just happened between Stede and Mr. Teach. “No,” Mr. Hands said curtly. His throat bobbed, but he said nothing else. He didn’t need to say anything. Frenchie could see the tightness around his eyes, the downward curve of his lips, and the rigidity of his shoulders. So after a long pause, and without another word himself, Frenchie spun around and left.

For #WIPWednesday, here's a little snippet from my omegaverse Ouizzy Pride and Prejudice AU. Izzy and Frenchie meet, and it does not go well

Photograph of an open pop-up card with a pop-up ship under full sails, with beautiful cutouts on the card (sun behind clouds and a lighthouse on the ocean). A drawing of Izzy Hands from the series Our Flag means Death, a colourful pencil, a mini zine drawn with coloured pencil and Stede’s fern on the front page and a grumpy Izzy cat sticker.

Photograph of the closed pop-up card with a side view cut out of a ship. The card is black cardboard, the ship, seagulls and waves are yellow.

Photograph of an open pop-up card with a pop-up ship under full sails in front/side view. It looks very intricately crafted.

Y'all, I got the coolest gifts from @lostinthebabylon.bsky.social for the @crewforlife.bsky.social gift exchange <3 Look at this absolutely gorgeous pop-up card! A full mini zine including the color-changing pencil it was drawn with 🥹, and perfect little Izzys ❤️! Thank you so much, Subaru! 🧵

No problem! Lottery 2 results will be on thursday afternoon, so the lottery 3 email will come either thursday or friday

There are still unmatched slides if you're still on the fence ❤️ round 2 lottery is happening for writers who submitted but didn't get matched, and then we'll start round 3 for everyone else (including people who didn't submit anything in round 1), so keep an eye on your emails!

Izzy stands at a bar, towel over his shoulder, relaying the story of Stede and Ed to Lucius and Pete, sitting at his bar. The wall behind him is shelves filled with bottles and boxes. His speech bubbles resemble smoke and are swirling up and around and form the ghostly image of Stede and Ed holding each other.

its #TakeTwoTuesday and the current OFMD reverse bang is kicking off, so here's a throwback to my other collab from the last rbb, a wonderful #gentlebeard AU based on the poem The Highwayman, written by @izzytranss.bsky.social ❤️

I got an RBB match, and now I will be splitting my time between my Ouizzy Pride and Prejudice AU, and a new secret project that is right up my alley, with a wonderful artist 😍

I'm excited to finally be working on it! I've done so much worldbuilding and outlining, and have so many notes on how to mesh these worlds together

Been planning this for ages and finally started writing it. Izzy makes a GREAT Darcy! He's so awkward 😂

Frenchie’s eyes flitted between the two men. He’d been collecting bits of information, but hadn’t gotten much in the way of physical descriptions. He’d heard both Teach and his friend described as handsome and rich and alpha, but none of those descriptors helped even a bit. But he had heard Teach’s friend given one additional descriptor. Given that of the two men standing there, one was beaming while the other looked like he was being dragged to a gallows, he had a guess about who was who. “This is Edward Teach,” Olu said, gesturing to the man who’d woven flowers into his beard. “He’s the one who’s taken over Netherfield Park.” “Ed,” he said. “Call me Ed.” Stede beamed at him. “Your flowers are just lovely.” Ed’s hand rose to his beard. “Thanks, mate. Spent a while picking them out.” “Oh, I know. I watched.” Frenchie cringed as the realization immediately flashed across Stede’s face after he spoke. “I mean, I was in town! I wasn’t watching you.” Stede’s hands rose up, his lace frills flopping. “I saw you across the square. I mean I was watching, but I was really just shopping and—” Frenchie elbowed Stede, and he clicked his mouth shut.

Got a fic brewing! It will still be a little while before this one's ready to start posting, but here's a little glimpse.

Ouizzy Pride and Prejudice AU. Omegaverse.

Introductions are going strangely well - for Ed and Stede, anyway. They're about to go far worse for Frenchie and Izzy.

If you're nervous about signing up, know this is really just a commitment for receiving an email with a list of art slides! If nothing speaks to you, you don't have to claim any.

But, I will say as a mod who's seen what's happening behind the scenes, there are going to be *so* many good prompts ❤️
