Fandom Our Flag Means Death (TV)

Summary
The story of bug nerd Ed and YouTuber Stede, told using ofmdmicrofic prompts (and a few crowdsourced ones). Sweet and sometimes spicy; some mild angst along the way, but nothing the boys can’t handle.

Summary
Haemotribune. It was such a fucking old-fashioned word. Rich people were obsessed with Latin, and with having a silly little name for everything. Lucius tended to refer to himself, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as a caterer. A provider of food for the discerning vamp, a little sumptuous treat, the finest their abundant money could buy.
A vampire AU that loosely follows season one canon, with some significant divergences. The main pairings are Lucius/Izzy and Ed/Stede - certain chapters might focus more heavily on one or the other but their stories are intertwined and can't really be separated.
The setting is a world in which vampires exist and are known about. In this world, a well to do vampire might hire or otherwise obtain a human for non-lethal, occasional blood drinking purposes on an ongoing basis. Such a human would be known as a haemotribune (with thanks to @DarkDancer72 for suggesting the name).
Huge thanks to wonderful beta readers @tardigrape and @kate_rtot and to @Vee (Vera_DragonMuse) for plot help and encouragement.
This is the longest, plottiest fic I've ever written, and I really hope someone out there gets some enjoyment from reading it :)
Updates every week.

Summary
Ed picks Stede up at a bar for what ought to be a one-night stand, but it turns out they're attending the same academic conference the next day.
“Yes, please, a – Loose Cannon, did you say? Really, how charmingly nautical.” There. Words. Sub-optimal words, but words nonetheless. He grins, aiming it toward the stranger while taking him in in smaller doses. Leather boots, faded, artfully ripped black jeans, a purple cropped shirt under a silky, billowy black – kimono? Overshirt? Facial scruff. Lots of hair, salt and pepper, pepper only just winning out, for now. Tattooed knuckles, forearms, collarbone. Earring, silver stacking rings on most fingers, a nose stud that somehow softens the whole, well, lewk and – okay, he’s staring. He stares some more as the man reaches to accept his own drink, revealing more tattoos up the arm and an inch more of skin below the crop top. The stranger makes some obscure gesture to the bartender, then meets Stede’s eyes, which he worries might actually be protruding from his skull, like a cartoon. AwOOga.

Summary
Ed's minding his business when the new neighbor's kid comes around holding a human puppet. It's creepy as hell, but as soon as the kid's father rounds the corner, Ed doesn't mind.
ETA: Podfic available here from Kninjaknitter my darling dearest
“Hello,” says the strangest voice Ed’s ever heard, jolting him out of his reverie, sending his heart speeding into chaos.He opens his eyes and he’s staring straight at a stuffed animal in the shape of a human person. It is bald with a tiny hat and too-big eyes and it wears a blue shirt and a name tag that says Jeffy in the sort of scrawl normally reserved for words written in blood.
A puppet, he realizes several seconds beyond when it would have been appropriate to respond.
