re: Pirate!Miranda au: *whispers* SILVER IS THE VOICE IN MIRANDA’s ear! she has no idea how to make these pirates rescue James and he thinks/knows that without Flint, Billy will just have Joji torture the location out of him! and Gates is impossible to trick! so Silver and Miranda need each other; he gives her ideas like he gave ideas to Eleanor. they become equal partners. she knows he’s in it for the gold but she can also relate to wanting some security! two reluctant pirates!

oh my god. I – could see that, oh so easily.  All they’d really have to do is convince Gates that it’s not a suicide mission to go after him once they find out where he’s being held, and for that, they’d need Billy’s help, which Silver would know but Miranda wouldn’t unless he tells her. Silver and Miranda together is a truly terrifying thought. No one would be able to refuse them, because what one didn’t think of the other would, much like him and Flint. And then you re-add Flint back into the mix after he escapes/is rescued and oh gods. The British never stood a chance (provided of course that he can see his way to working with Silver, which shouldn’t be that hard because the man will have just helped save his life). *Cackles alarmingly*
