Resurfaced from the archives, this episode originally aired Feb. 27, 2024.

While there may not be many fics about Prince Ricky Banes (played by Erroll Shand) in the Our Flag Means Death fandom, this episode is packed with so many theories, characterizations, and plot ideas that we're pretty sure AO3 will soon be flooded with Ricky fics after this podcast airs. Inspiration abounds! And we share some of the most unhinged ideas of all time.

The co-hosts this week are Lacey Bond (@joy.goblin on Instagram), host of the Temple of Geek Podcast; Kate, who is known as @yafilthynerds on Instagram, Twitter, and AO3; Amanda Lee who is @Solarpunkpirate and @prismhour on Twitter and Instagram; and, me, writer Carly Heath (Yayvid_jenkins on AO3) @carlylheath on Twitter and @carlylynheath on Instagram.

During the pod, Kate mentioned a fic where Ricky is following Izzy around like Ed is following Stede around. I’m not 100% sure which it is, but I think it’s one of these:
