Edward Teach Died on a Beach (OFMD)

Author's Note

Hi guys. It's me. I'm not going to give a name because I don't like to be perceived. Before we start, there's some housekeeping stuff I have to do:

1. Trigger Warnings

Overall, there's a lot of swearing, innuendo, and violence. (Essentially just like the show). There are some mentions of s*icide.

2. Uploads

The only reason I'm starting to post this is because I'm already mostly done. There are no major cliffhangers to leave you on because I've already done most of the bulk of the writing. That said, I need to edit it. And post it. That's my issue there. I have the attention span of a goldfish. I will try my best to update it regularly, but I'm a college student and I only have a few minutes with the single brain cell that we all share.

3. Don't take it seriously.

This is just my general idea of what will I think will happen mixed with what I would like to happen. It would be nice to be a fortune-teller, but I'm not. Idk what will really happen. Toward the end it probably gets a bit chaotic but yk.. sorry??

4. There are three main sections to this.

The first part is about 25 chapters. I'm going to keep them in the same book just so it's easier for me. The second part is also 25 chapters, I believe. The third part is probably going to be about the same but I will NOT start uploading it unless I'm finished with it (no cliffhangers). I'll figure out some way to organize them and I will try to keep the uploads rather regular. 

That's about it, I think? I did want to sort of talk about the show for a minute though.
This show had quite an impact on me. I think it was because I wasn't really expecting it to be a love story. I started it kind of late and I hadn't heard a ton about it, I'd just seen a few clips once or twice. And then I started watching it and I was like, "wait, I'm hooked." Like how Lucius said, "This is happening", it was happening.
I think throughout my life I've had too many shows let me down. Like, I was a supernatural fan and I made that my personality for years, and like... I was let down by them so many times. They'd promised representation and then waved it in front of our faces like a bully.
And then even with the ending of the season, OFMD was different. It was real. It wasn't just subtext, it was there. It was meant to be there. And it kind of floored me because it just felt so perfect?? I guess? Even though the ending was sad it felt like it healed my inner child a little.
     Whatever, anyway, I have most of the story written out, and I just have to edit. I'm hoping to edit it while watching the show so I can tweak any voices and add details.

And just to add, this was meant to be a bit of a writing exercise, but now the first two parts alone are almost 70,000 words. I'm in too deep. 

     Thanks for reading!

I almost didn't upload this, but I figured that I wanted to have proof that I wrote this before s2 came out bc I will guess every single plot point (I'm kidding)
