@flintsredhair OK. I’ll consider it, but I have TWELVE wips at the moment (though I could possibly work this in with my other pirate miranda idea, at least part of that series)

Meanwhile, I can give you all the headcanons:

• This is like, maybe several years before S1 
• James taught Miranda to fight right when they got there, she tried staying in the house but she wasn’t about that life. 
• After Thomas “died” she wasn’t about to sit still and James be the only angry one. She cut her hair and decided to join the crew, and there was no stopping her.
• She got along really well with Gates, and they tried to keep James in check for a while 
• She was the one to head the hunt for the Maria Aleyne
• She got on a lot better with people than James, but everyone was rather terrified of her, there’s a whole bunch of rumours about how she’s actually a witch and all that (there’s another about how she was once a lady back in London, but then sold her soul, killed her husband and family and ran off with a pirate – she hates that one so much)
• After several years she had quite a few people quite loyal to her, including like, every female pirate on the island (I think there was a one sentence mention to a female captain in the show somewhere)
• Eventually she decides that wants to start her own crew, when James captures a particularly nice ship. James isn’t a particular fan of the idea but she’s gotten damn good at this he’s learned long ago that there’s no stopping her. They still have quite a few disagreements about methods and what not. (In fact some are quite legendary, people who don’t know their whole story thinking OH SHIT FLINT AND BARLOW SHOWDOWN, when they probably argued about it some more, but ultimately came to an understanding). 
• Miranda, James and Eleanor are the unstoppable trio that rule Nassau more or less. They’re all trying to work to build the place. Also Eleanor kinda knows most of their story here.  
• Miranda and Eleanor are bffs. Also I ship it, so that might be a thing. 
• Vane had a run in with Miranda once (maybe re Eleanor) and it did not go so well for him, he decided not to mess with her ever again. (Also Flint probably tried to go after him for that)
• They might not always agree on things, but they’ve got each other’s backs, so come after one and the other will get you 
• They find Thomas and have a happy reunion with all three of them.
