That moment always stands out to me, too!! I can totally see that being something he calls her in more sincere, quiet moments – she is his dearest friend, after all, she has a way of softening his heart.
I can see him approaching her as she stares out the window, and he knows her mind dwells now not in dark places, but dull ones, gray ones, so he wraps his arm around her shoulders and kisses her temple, murmurs that things will get better, my sweet, I swear it, feeling almost proud when her reflection almost smiles.
Or maybe it’s written on the inside cover of a book, a bit tattered and smelling of salt water – I know this isn’t to your usual tastes, my sweet, but I hope you find some enjoyment in it nonetheless. (She doesn’t, not really, but that first handwritten page makes it worth keeping.)
It could be more casual, too, thank you, my sweet and here you go, my sweet said with small smiles over traded cups of tea or misplaced bookmarks, or whatever other mundane thing they have the privilege to be concerned with for a few hours.
asldfjsk I’ll be thinking about this all day now I am Ruined thank you
Tag: they loved each other so much
Flint looking absolutely smitten with Miranda c:
#he’s so so in love with her and it kills me#that last one kills me the most though#the absolute certain warm fond look is everything about them that i love#though i just rewatched their 1.03 scenes where that first gif is from and oh boy#OH BOY#let me tell you#he looks at her like that!!#he smiles at her!!#he gives her the book with that tiny adorable gesture where he puts it on the table and then nudges it toward her#he’s happy (…comparatively) and Trying So Hard#but all she can hear is that he’s about to be gone even more and she’s going to be even more alone#before that though they’re so easy with each other and so…light?#i
feel like i tend to think about them on new providence as 24/7 misery
but they’re so comfortable with each other and they joke around with#each other (“was that really necessary??”) and maybe saying they’re happy is a stretch but maybe it’s not#however painfully formed and however imperfect they had a home in one another#and i weep about it daily#james x miranda#james flint#miranda barlow#black sails
