Song: "Seabird" by Alessi Brothers

Project Organizers' Description:

For many fans of Our Flag Means Death, and particularly for fans of Izzy Hands, one scene had particular gravitas. In this scene, Izzy went from his lowest—alone and angry, drowning his sorrows—to being given a gift. A gift of a prosthetic for his lost limb, and a gift of community. The crew saw that he was hurting and put aside their own issues to tell him we see you, we care about you, we want you here. We believe that you can grow past this and we'll help.

Importantly, the prosthetic was created from the figurehead of the Revenge, the unicorn. On sailing ships, figureheads have always been signifiers of the ship itself, images of protection, and the crew chose Izzy to embody this. They chose him as their new figurehead—someone to care about them and lead them. They chose Izzy to embody the spirit of the ship.

This is a message that resonated with Licorne. In Spring of 2024 they envisioned this project as a tribute to both the character of Izzy Hands and to Con O'Neill, who brought Izzy to life in such a captivating manner. The community rallied behind them, and we're proud to present the combined effort.

Much love.

This scene was one of my favourite moments of season 2, and is still up there among my favourite moments of television. "Much love" is an apt close to the message from the organizers, because the love put into this project by its participants really shines through, especially in the gallery where you can see each individual piece of art that came together to create something bigger in the spirit of collaboration and community.

I'm not a f*cking mermaid by Heath
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Character: Jim Jiménez
Medium: Art
Length: 1 piece
Rating: General/SFW
My Tags: character study, happy ending, gender, identity, queer community, clothing

Description:

A full-colour drawing of Jim Jiménez in their early s2 outfit, crouched down with their face turned away from the viewer. They hold a nonbinary pride flag, the splintered-off stick it's flying from braced against their shoulder.

I adore Jim's s2 looks, and this illustration captures all the structured and textured details of what they were rocking during the Breakup Boat episodes: the leather and buckles, the netting and rope, the undercut, and everything else that signals both baring and protecting themselves. The perfect vibe for a pride pose.

Untitled Fang/Frenchie/Izzy/Roach by

cliopadra
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Ship: Fang/Frenchie/Izzy Hands/Roach
Medium: Art
Length: 1 piece
Rating: General/SFW
My Tags: slice of life, happy ending, established relationship, bed-sharing, cuddling, intimacy, sleep

Description:

A full-colour cartoon of Izzy, Roach, and Frenchie all using Fang as a mattress. Fang, smiling and radiating little pink hearts of affection, has his arms around both Izzy and Roach, while Frenchie has commandeered Izzy's backside as a pillow.

cliopadra's OFMD art always looks like it's straight out of Mad Magazine in the best of ways, particularly in their comics, which are usually crammed with background gags. Much as I love their absurd humour, my heart melted to see their squishy cartoon style applied instead to a sweet cuddle pile featuring four of my favourite characters.

Summary:

Matt’s just a rich kid with an obsession, only with boats and sharks and diving equipment instead of golf and European cars and insider trading. And he can’t deny himself this either, anything he can have of Martin Brody: his hand on his arm, his elbow tucked against Matt’s side, their knees bumping. The bright summer smell of him, salt and sunscreen over the nip of his cologne. His stillness, easiness, the kind of man you can count on, set your watch by, survive the long night beside.

A year after the shark attacks, Matt Hooper keeps coming back to Amity.

This is a really awesome podfic that a bunch of pod iccers made for the Pod_Together event this year. I think the format is super creative and clever, and fits so well with 9-1-1 canon. The voices are so distinct and the sound effects are fun. Plus it highlights some really topical issues related to disability and cyber incidents.

There is a Fic Rec meme going around, which asks people to rec fics in twelve categories (Angst, AU, Canon Divergence, Crossover, Fixit, Fluff, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Post/Pre-Canon, Songfic, Whump).

I posted my rec list here, with fics from batman, Silmarillion, rivers of london, star trek enterprise, babylon 5, lilo and stitch, captain America, black panther, moon knight, big hero 6, and the martian fandoms.
