I know I’ve been inactive lately, but...

Today I noticed that Dead Man’s Prayer is going to be turning three years old next Monday. This leaves me feeling a bit in awe. Dead Man’s Prayer was my second novel-length work of fiction, my most massive work of fanfiction, and the story isn’t even completely over yet.

It’s the first in a trilogy called Of Privateers and Pirates and I’m just one chapter away from finishing Cruellest Conquests, its sequel, which has been in the works for over a year now and is expected to be completed before 2018 is over.

Part three, Braveheart, will be coming in 2019. After that, I will probably revisit and rewrite the entire series for publishing.

What do you guys think?

For those of you still sticking around through my inactivity, I appreciate every single one of you so damn much. I know I’m terrible with touching base and I’m sorry ;-;

Signal boosting with what little power I have lol

was gonna be a full comic where spain was like “aw lovi your face is red like a t–” “no. no. fuck you. listen. describe my face, but dont use the word tomato.” and then spain goes into an existential crisis and doesnt shit for 5 days

IM ACTUALLY WHEEZING

When you accidentally say “I love you”. What do you mean this hasn’t happened yet? 😂 My edit

i am queen of drawings with no dynamic

some neko!spamano for yall. i hate drawing animals but this was spamano so it’s all good. i chose to give them some more realistic (and less boring) coloring. spain is a european shorthair tabby and romano is a ragamuffin.

bonus: 

what if romano talked to spain like how he talks to girls

grandpa rome you need to leave your grandkids alone

Dear Feliciano,

Our raid in Greece was a failure (thanks for that). It doesn’t change anything, though. I’m still staying with this pirate crew. Remember my friend Antonio I told you about? He might turn out to be more than just a friend… I don’t know how to explain it yet, but I’m curious to see how this ends.

Please don’t tell Grandpa this time. It was bad enough that he ruined our raid and almost got me killed, I don’t want to find out what he’d do if he knew I was maybe seeing another man. I’m hoping that if things don’t work out with Antonio, I could always come back home. But I might not have that option anymore if you tell him about us.

The next morning, Lovino discovered that Sadık was exclusively confined to cleaning the main deck. This meant Lovino could clean up the supply deck just as he intended. It was a job that was overdue to be done, since no one seemed able to find anything down there anymore.

Dead Man’s Prayer

Chapter 12: Better Together

{Chapter 1} {Chapter 2} {Chapter 3} {Chapter 4} {Chapter 5} {Chapter 6} {Chapter 7} {Chapter 8} {Chapter 9} {Chapter 10} {Chapter 11}

By morning, everyone was back to behaving normally. It wasn’t so much like nothing ever happened, but more like it could have been so much worse.

The last few days have gone smoothly. As Alistair predicted, it got very cloudy, but thankfully, the only rain they got was a few drizzles before the clouds started to clear again.  The winds still blew strong and the ship still made impressive progress on its way back to Spain.

In all that time, Lovino managed to clean every deck except for the supply deck. He meant to do that today, but Armado insisted the main deck needed work again, so once again, in the gusting winds, he did his best to do his job without getting in anyone’s way. 

Armado came to find him rather early in the morning and laid a heavy hand on Lovino’s shoulder. “We should be arriving in Spain in about a week,” he said. “Once we land, you should take the opportunity to send news to your family. Let your grandfather know that you’re safe, despite his mistake.” Then he patted Lovino on the back as Lovino swallowed his pride, and nodded. “We’ll send the letter to Italy when we land in Spain,” said Armado as he made his way to the helm where Alistair waited for him.

I JUST THOUGHT OF A STORY WHERE LIKE FELICIANO DECIDED TO VISIT LOVINO’S COLLEGE CAUSE HE WANTED TO SEE HIM AND LOVI WAS LIKE “OK WHY NOT.” THEY CHILL AND FELI DECIDES THAT HE IS GOING TO SLEEP EARLY AND LOVINO WAS LIKE “OKAY SLEEP IN MAH DORM CAUSE IMMA BE OUT AT A PARTY”. SO FELI IS SLEEP AND STUFF UNTIL HE HEARS THE DOOR OPEN AND HE HEARS LOVINO EXCEPT HE IS NOT ALONE. HE AND ANTONIO ARE DRUNK AS FUCK AND ARE LIKE MAKING OUT AND SHIT (TONIO WAS LIKE LOVI’S CRUSH) AND THEY DONT SEE FELICIANO IN THE BED AND START HAVING SEx lIKE RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. FELICIANO IS LIKE SILENTLY SCREAMING AND HORRIFIED BECAUSE HE DOESNT WANT TO LIKE DISTURB THE TWO BECAUSE LOVI TOLD HIM HOW MUCH HE LIKED TONIO BUT THEN AGAIN THEY ARE HAVING SEX RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. THE NEXT DAY THOSE THREE ARE ALL EATING BREAKFAST AND FELI IS LIKE “Fratello, I didn’t know you bottomed.”
