I adore The Cup of Their Deserving! I’m afraid I’m gonna need 1000 more chapters or an entire season 5 AU. All the character voices are perfect! Oh, and thank you for making a big deal of Silver sending 6 men to kill Flint in the last chapter. Apologists forget Silver wanted Flint dead if he wasn’t going to stand down, he just didn’t have the balls to do it himself. I will never understand why he didn’t reveal that Thomas was alive and in Savannah when he first learned of it.

Thank you! I’m so glad you’re liking the fic. 

You know, honestly, the sending six men to kill Flint wasn’t the breaking point for me. I wasn’t happy about it, don’t get me wrong – I was angry at him. At the same time, though, it was like – ok, you fucked up but this can be fixed and I could pretty much understand his reasoning at that point, even if I didn’t agree with it. The finale and finding out that he had kept the knowledge of Thomas’ survival from James and then seeing him do the rest of what he did was the point that I couldn’t excuse his actions or see a way for either Madi or Flint to forgive what he’d done – not in the state of mind that we see him in at the end of the finale, at least, and maybe not ever.
