Happy 10th anniversary, Black Sails! This incredible show and its amazing fandom are a huge inspiration to me. In honour of that, I want to share some of the fanart I made when I started watching in 2020:

Oh, past me, you have no idea!

to celebrate the 10th birthday of the show that rewired my brain and almost 7 years of me having to live with schrödinger's Flint, i decided to redraw a piece from 2017. this is a self-indulgent au where Madi convinces Silver not to shoot Flint/send Flint to Savannah and in stead they all run their little inn together okay? what's that? you're asking if Flint would be able to adjust to such a life? (would any of them?) of course he would, don't be silly, he could kick troublesome drunks out into the street, glare ominously at customers from behind the bar, pick fights, and threaten people who owe money :))) many happy returns to this fucking masterpiece

Introducing Black Sails Rarepair Week 2024!
Tumblr media
February 12–18, 2024
Black Sails canon is shamelessly queer and unabashedly slutty—let's make it even more so by hyping up our rarepairs!
This weeklong fest will celebrate fic & art featuring Black Sails rarepairs: ships with any number of characters whose tag has fewer than 100 works on ao3. (Bonus points if you can be the first to post in a ship tag!)
There's no word count minimum, and fic and art of all kinds and ratings (including gen) will be accepted. Watch this space for prompts!
For more details on rarepair eligibility, etc., please see the FAQs on the ao3 collection page.

Currently adding color to this sketch. It's still a wip, so expect some tweaks here and there (but I'm definitely already digging the vibe of the colored background)

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Category: Gen
Fandom:: Black Sails
Characters: "Calico" Jack Rackham, Captain Flint | James McGraw, Charles Vane
Additional Tags: Minor John Silver, Minor Anne Bonny, Canon-Typical Violence, the girls are fighting, Choking, Missing Scene, Gold Negotiations, One Shot
Summary: Whilst Nassau town might proclaim itself an outpost of man, an oasis amidst the jungles and wilds of the West Indies, it has far more in common with the forests of Jack’s youth. [...] And just like in the forest, the absence of sound never bodes well—a harbinger of danger, a predator close at hand. That uncharacteristic quiet is the only warning Jack gets that something is wrong before Flint is upon him.
For the Built on Sand prompt "negotiations over the gold".

Summary: Charles Vane walks inland, fails to find a shovel, but learns the finer points of taking tea.
A pre-canon Black Sails AU where Charles Vane meets Miranda Barlow.
My writing submission for the Black Sails Built on Sand creative event. Thank you so much to @built-on-sand for organizing this event! This piece was a challenge to write and I had a lot of fun exploring this prompt.
