Fox and the Rose 🦊🌹🔪

1836 central London, December 29th.

After the death of Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge, not wanting to return home just yet, visits the nearby town to a local pub. The man normally content in his life, Ebenezer looks to appease the nights particular lonelyness with a little comfort when he meets a charming, educated gentleman unlike anyone he ever met in his life. Someone who resurrects the desire to have something more in his life he long gave up on. However, there is more than meets the eye with his new companion.

This is the established main storyline. It is still being worked on, chapters update as it can.

Stand Alone Stories

Like What You See?

A reflection shows much more than what's on the outside but what is going on beneath the gaze regarding the one who's staring back.

Is it disdain of seeing a stranger from what time lost familiarity to or the watchful gaze of a lover to reunite the reflection with its bearer?

R

Keep a Closed Door Locked

An absent-minded unlocked door causes chaos in the Osman home when a small red haired child enters, interrupting their plans. What event spurs a series of events following that makes Ebenezer realize what he now experiences behind a closed one. What he thought he would never have...

PG-13

House of Cards

Ebenezer loses a bet, and whatever it is, he's gifted one Christmas day. It's pink, and Eb aphores it! Use your imagination and have fun! It's chocked with funny, spicy goodness!

Short Drabbles

A Dashing Mustache

Ebenezer changes his appearance on Francis return. Seems some lip hair also gave him a more saucy personality.

PG-13

Surprises

Ebenezer returns to his office from an outing but Francis is no longer here yet he hasn't left.

Just two grown men acting like children.

Character Studies

NSFW Alphabet of Francis Osman

NSFW Alphabet challenge for Francis from my series The Fox and the Rose. If anyone wants one on Scrooge I can but he really wouldn't have much to add to this presently that hasn't already been done because the man is innocently unaware about any of it until its thrown at him. He's curious but the knowledge just isn't there. He just accepts it like, "Whelp this is how I die. Life's been nice." :T

R. Obviously. X'D

The Interesting Case of Francis Osman and Ebenezer Scrooge. The Golden Pair.

This is a long worked on character reference I have expanded upon to breakdown Francis personality and what uniquely draws him to a person such as Scrooge as well as Scrooge's unique personality traits. This took forever! Ha ha.

If you read the story The Fox and the Rose it is recommended to read this to get a good understanding what makes both characters tick.

No spoilers for the story, it just touches theoretical events mildly without spoiling the situation itself.

When I see Ed walk out of the sea ready to burn down the world for Stede, I always think of Love Crime... 🔪❤️

I was originally planning to make gifs of this scene and made a whole video segment instead. 🤣 It's simple, but enjoy. :)

I've been tracking this down for a while now and I've finally found confirmation of what I suspected: the current Google Maps imagery for Piha Beach in Aotearoa New Zealand was taken during setup for filming of Our Flag Means Death's Season 2, Episode 8!

On the left is the north end of Piha Beach with the inn set. On the right is the south end carpark with the film crew base.

Why is that cool to me? Because it truly was a fleeting moment in time, no more than a handful of days of possibility, and yet we can see it right now on Google Maps, at least until they update it. As an archaeologist I love a moment preserved in time.

The specifics of how I pinned down the imagery and the date are in this Twitter thread, but the short version is, I was hunting for a better visual on the area immediately surrounding the inn while writing Full Fathom Five, and noticed that the carpark in particular seemed to line up exactly with images from the final day of filming.

The final day of filming overall was 13 December 2022, filming at Piha was on 12 December 2022, and this aerial image was taken on 11 December 2022.

I had already been through the first image to make a comparison to the aerial map and it looked like a match, but Google Maps had 2024 in their attribution. [Noting that I'd put 13 Dec on my image notes, but I'd got that tangled with the last day of filming in the Kumeū studio the next day, and it was 12 Dec on location].

Thankfully Google Earth came through with the actual date.

Which means we now know that for now, if you hop onto Google Maps (not Google Earth, because they have a different image for the north end that does come from 2024) and zing on down to Piha Beach, you can take a look at a preserved moment in time from the filming of S2Ep8.

You can hop straight to the inn here.

And straight to the parking lot here.

And remember to put the layers into Satellite mode to view the aerial imagery.

Everything that's shown at the north end lines up with what we've seen both in the show and in behind the scenes content, all of which I delved into in this Twitter thread last month. That goes into a lot more detail about specifics, but the evidence is solid across the board.

The sandy path that runs beside the inn is a distinct feature seen in the show.

The peak that sits behind it, likewise (from Google Maps user uploads here and here).

The inn itself, and the way the path gives way to an unseen carpark, from Simone Nathan's TikTok video.

Based on all of that, it's easy to see that we've got our inn right here circled in red, preserved in that moment in time, even though it was no doubt taken down as soon as filming was done.

Prep looks like it took a couple of days before filming; filming was pretty much done in a day, according to an article at the time.

So, there you have it- it's a minor little thing and it won't be up forever, but for now you can hop into Google Maps and see an aerial view adjacent to the filming of S2Ep8 at Piha. The other beach scenes from Eps 1, 3 and 8 were filmed at Te Henga/ Bethells Beach.

Something that always stands out to me in 1x4 during Izzy’s “I have to do everything around here” rant to Ed is Ed’s dismissiveness. And after doing some research on pirate ship roles, i get why. Besides the fact that Ed is having fun for the first time in maybe years, part of Izzy’s duties as Ed’s second in command would be to handle crew disputes and act as a go-between for his captain and the crew.

So when Izzy is complaining to Ed about “massaging the crew” and all that bullshit, he’s literally just complaining about doing his job. These aren’t legitimate complaints, they’re Izzy blaming Ed for not being able to handle doing his own fucking job.

I'm phd history student with a specialty in the golden age of pirates! Hope you don't mind me jumping on, because this is super juicy stuff.

Most pirate ships genuinely weren't very hierarchical, and the vast majority didn't have first mates, but they did have quartermasters. OFMD takes a lot of liberty with the roles on a pirate ship (one of the biggest things it gets historically inaccurate is that pirate captains didn't actually have absolute say in anything other than battle, and in other situations a crew vote could veto the captain's orders). But since they use the first mate terminology for Izzy, and since that role would historically be a quartermaster, I think it's a fair way to judge Izzy's character.

I always explain quartermasters as the crew union reps. They're supposed to take care of the crew, organize crew votes for important decisions, and deal with the issue whenever crew members are upset with ship decisions or with each other. A good quartermaster is good at dealing with inter-crew arguments and has the social and emotional tact to keep people as content as you can be on a pirate ship. They should be good at calmly talking through decisions and hearing others out, because their whole job is being the mediator for crew decisions.

Meanwhile, Izzy yanks on Fang's beard habitually to make him shut up when he asks questions, blames Ed for the crew being worried, and is generally just rude and abrasive to everyone. Interestingly, quartermasters are also usually in charge of keeping stock of the food, and we see Izzy tell the crew they don't get food! He is literally just not doing his job and then turning around and yelling at Ed for the consequences of his actions.

Part 3 of 3

Part 1

Hope you enjoyed it.

I've done a lot of these to do with the SAMU and just never posted them yet.

Eb and Fran is have a specific way of texting.

So I found this prompt in another fandom and figured I would give it a try with the boys because yeah. It fits them... ☠️ Also, to try and post things on Fridays since WIP Wed seems hard to manage. I'll just call it Francis Friday. 🤣

This is in parts because it's a long convo from Eb's pov view. It is based off the modern Sweettooth SAMU with Francis as the mob boss. This is an alternative first meet.

God's, poor Ed. He goes through it in this verse. He always goes through it. (What is it with these characters and awful fathers? 😵‍💫)

Part 1 of 3 is below. PG-13. Hint of alluded spice and language.

"When we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved before us, and no one will ever love in the same way after us."

For pride month with Francis and Eb! It's drawn after this unnamed pair mid 1800s. I've had it on my phone since early writing of Fox and the Rose.

Also, the second illustration is untextured. I couldn't decide which I liked better.

Working on revisions and oh boy, why do both of these assholes always fight? Truly, it leaves me baffled how each time they sit down damn near a squall is going to happen if not they circle back for round two.

I swear its foreplay for them.

Problem is one can't fight himself out of a wet paper bag while the other knows how to kill quite well when the situation calls and could easily kill the other with a swipe. Isn't hard to guess which one.

So I had a friend tell me again they've been watching Interview with a Vampire and they remind them of my Francis and Ebenezer except with a child. XD

Me: Yeah well, with the way Francis acted to Cratchit's kid he would ideally steal one he liked and make Ebenezer be the assistant parent.

I have thought about Beryl, if Francis met her, he would adopt her because oh boy that tenacious attitude she has he would want to mentor.

I mean. It's partly what started a split off modern AU called Sweettooth. 👀

It would be a battle for Ed not to have her grow up to be a female Francis, tho. Francis is training her how to weild a knife. Fight. Defense... Medical knowledge... so on... Meanwhile Eb is watching and sweating like-

Any of my Eb mutuals have a fandom type discord? I'm not on Tumblr like I used to be- or social media as a whole anymore- but I miss fan geeking over Scroogeverse content with everyone. I know there is a small handful of us left, but Eb will forever be a comfort character to me.

Chatting really helps with inspiration to keep working on content and also getting updates so I don't miss others works. I literally will unless I'm tagged.
