alright so just imagine: an au where everything worked out – james and miranda managed to get thomas back a few hours after he was taken and defeat alfred, and thomas was named governor of new providence island. and imagine james and thomas roleplaying that james is a pirate showing his ‘gratitude’ to the new governor for the pardon

just imagine james in his early s1 outfit, his london hair with little seashells braided in it, and thomas having him on the desk in the study of the governor’s mansion

imagine james trying to pretend to be a scary pirate captain but also being just So Much In Love with his husband and also still being So Proud of him for being such a great governor

once or twice james has to break character and be like ‘love, you can’t call a pirate pretty’

thomas’ counter-argument is ‘but what if he is pretty?’

afterwards thomas says something like ‘what if we had met like this? you probably wouldn’t love me then’ and james is like ‘ashjkldf; no i would always love you. any version of me would love you’

imagine james confessing to thomas that for the few hours he thought they had lost thomas, he considered coming to nassau and turning pirate

he’s eternally grateful it never happened

Chapters: 2/9
Fandom: Black Sails
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
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.

Just read this. Loved it. Vane perfectly said what I felt at the finale… what have you all tried to buy in blood and betrayal?

I could not more perfectly sum up the point of this chapter if I tried, so I hope you don’t mind if I reblog with this added!

Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Miranda Barlow/Captain Flint/Thomas Hamilton, Miranda Barlow/Thomas Hamilton, Captain Flint/Thomas Hamilton, Miranda Barlow/Captain Flint, Gates/Hennessey
Characters: Miranda Barlow, James McGraw, Thomas Hamilton, Admiral Hennessey, Alfred Hamilton
Additional Tags: Period-Typical Homophobia, Homophobic Language, Angst, Pain, Non-Consensual Haircuts, Non-Graphic Violence, I blame Bean, this was their horrifying brainchild, Hurting followed by reunions and cuddles, Happy Ending, Eventual Happy Ending, Ao3 won’t let me tag just Bedlam, and it definitely deserves its own tag, Torture, Miranda Barlow Appreciation
Summary:

They are taking them. The thought penetrates Miranda’s mind – cuts through the haze and the panic and the horror that she feels at the sight of James’ limp form being carried out the door, his bare feet dragging, eyes closed, blood still welling from the scrapes he’s received during his short-lived bid for freedom. They are taking Thomas and James away from her.

Or: Alfred orders both Thomas and James to be taken to Bedlam. Miranda is left to rescue them with the aid of Admiral Hennessey.
