Relationships: Captain Flint/Thomas Hamilton, Vane/Madi
Characters: Captain Flint, Thomas Hamilton, Madi (Black Sails), Charles Vane, Admiral Hennessey (Black Sails), John Silver (briefly), Abigail Ashe, “Calico” Jack Rackham
Additional Tags: So one day after the finale I sat down, and decided to find out what happens if Charles Vane is still alive post s4, you know – presuming he was out of action but not dead, and then the thought hit me that Madi and Vane would make a cute couple, and well here you have the results, not Silver friendly, post finale fix-it, Grieving, found family of a sort, All the people that love James and Thomas come together to rescue them from the shame farm
Summary:

When he’s transported from Nassau to Jamaica, Charles Vane does not expect to leave the jail in Port Royal alive. When he’s released as part of a prisoner exchange agreement at the end of the war –

There might, he thinks, just possibly be something wrong with him, because he is about to go rescue James Flint from slavery with the help of a princess and an admiral of the English fleet, and he’s not quite certain but he thinks he may even have been sober when he agreed to do it.

James Flint Appreciation Week– Day 1: Favourite Scene

Spare yourself the humiliation.
Spare her.
I’ll see she’s interred with proper respect, her name clear. Let her go to her rest peacefully. You cannot tell me that isn’t what she would have wanted.

She was clear about what she wanted and I don’t think it had anything to do with begging your forgiveness. What she wanted was the truth to be known. What was the truth of it, my lord? Why did you betray those closest to you all those years ago? Was it really so small and vile as a bribe? The promise of lording over other men in this place? Or were you simply too weak to say no?

James Flint Appreciation Week: Day 1 – Favorite Scene

I loved James and Madi’s connection.  There were few characters that James actually respected and she was one of them – this scene showed the birth of that respect, imo.  It gradually transitioned, from a man speaking to (what he believed to be) a naive young girl, to one General/Commander (idk the military terminology, sorry) speaking to another, but not in a way that was jarring or unrealistic.  The Don Quixote quote was a nice touch, highlighting their shared belief that humanity is so much more than its greatly flawed societies.  I also think this scene suggested that the war wasn’t just the unchecked whim of a madman, but rather the true faith effort of a man who honestly believed in the possibility of change.  James and Madi were both visionaries and it kind of makes you wonder what they could have accomplished together, even after the war effort fell apart.
