so... a year ago I saw this beautiful poem https://thebibliosphere.tumblr.com/post/731710915304669184/taohun-taohun-whos-up-thinking-about-after and being in my (bi)annual black sails phase I immediately thought about modern james/thomas/miranda and made a sketch that was abandoned right away. now I finally finished it (sort of). I feel a lot of tenderness towards these doomed by the narrative little people and like to think that in another time in another place they maybe possibly could have made it. I think james' pov is very suitable for the poem since he is insecure and unsure of his place in life and in this polycule. he is afraid to be a nuisance but he is adored by both of them and it helps him - maybe for the first time - to feel like he belongs

Well I can’t wait to read all your WIPs!
Anything you can give away for ‘Library4’? (Another book-related fic in the works??)
Likewise!
Sure :) The 4 comes from the fact that I always give new versions (whenever I have changed a lot) consecutively higher numbers. It’s a modern AU in which James works as a librarian at a university library (as do a few other familiar faces). Enter John, a regular visitor who loves to flirt with James (who tries to ignore him because he's not looking for anything). It gets funny and romantic and heartbreaking and there are quite a few twists! I’m really excited about this one :D
Here's a little sneak peek:
Curlyhead turns in their direction at that moment and winks at them with a wide smile, and James jerks his gaze back to his computer screen. It's all he's ever done since he started coming to the library almost every day a few weeks ago. Finding a place near the circulation desk, smiling or winking as soon as their eyes happen to meet. He has never spoken to him.
"God, stop staring at him," James hisses at Eleanor and then, to his horror, sees her wink back out of the corner of his eye before she rolls her chair back to her own work area.
"Well, we have to let him know we're interested."
"But we are not interested. He... He is a student."
"So what? We're just employees of the library, not his professors."

@esta-elavaris so I'm hearing I need to watch black sails?
trying to describe black sails to people is my personal sisyphean task. “it’s a pirate show” bad. “it’s functionally a prequel to treasure island but also it’s not at all” bad again, and also confusing. “it’s about pirates trying to destroy western civilization” mostly only true of the second half of the show and also doesn’t fully capture what i love about it. “it’s a pirate show about the power of stories, how civilization uses shame to keep people in line and turns them into monsters, and the power of queer rage. it’s got some of the best acting, writing, everything of any show i’ve ever seen.” the most accurate, but way too long and makes me sound pretentious and insane. send help i just want to talk about my favorite show.
#i mean its been on the list for forever tbh and now with modern!james au!!! i need to see scraggly pirate theodora#black sails

I feel like Interview With The Vampire rewired me in the same way Black Sails did - I’m weird about it but everyone else is so much more that I appear normal by comparison yet I am very much insane about it.
#it’s burying its way in as I speak#which reminds me I never finished my bs rewatch#my own post#saved this as a draft on sept 24th but I’d been thinking about it for a few days beforehand#saved it as a draft but kept thinking about it. so you lot get it too#it was directly inspired by me rereading the fic you can’t handle the truth by wind_ryder which is a modern day flinthamiltons au#it’s 100k. thomas is in law. flint is in the navy. miranda works with victims of human trafficking. all of a sudden their private photos#get released and everything goes down the pan. amazing. I read it all in one sitting (do not recommend).#black sails#interview with the vampire

Any thoughts on genital piercings? Do you have any?
A Little Light/A Little Dark || -
And just like that, with an indelicate snort of a laugh, Beth's POG in her nasal passages. Where as she's more of a fan of a gentle saline rinse from a neti pot to the harsh chemicals of most over the counter antihistamines and where as she thinks everyone deserves a little extra vitamin C in their diet, the two things should never be combined, and certainly not with a mixture of pineapple and guava mixed into the orange juice. Silver can't help but laugh, and she's a hundred percent certain that from the corner of her now watery eyes that she's seen some money change hands between little Ben and Jack. Fortunately, none of the actual adults ~Flint, Miranda, Gates~ are having breakfast with their young associates. Once she's taken a good swipe at her face with her napkin and is no longer in danger of choking on or spitting into her acai bowl, she glares at Doctah Manderly beside her. Okay, if he can make her look like an idiot, she can do him one better, and not even Annie will be able to spare him this time with a timely interruption. Not that she faults the Irish Setter. Her person is just….well. She's too polite to even think it in the privacy of her own head. Beth stretches leisurely. Almost catlike. She can almost feel the almost no hair at the back of his neck stand on end because William doesn't like people getting close. Which does make her wonder who managed to talk him into asking her that, and what sort of leverage they used. Meanwhile, she fixes him with a smouldering half-lidded gaze and makes her voice as sultry as she possibly can, the kind of voice indicative of rumpled sheets and lazy kisses the morning after. Not that she expects him to understand that, she's willing to put money on the fact that he's never had an intimate relationship in all of his life. She also partially lies through her teeth; there's something traumatic in just the idea of it, at least on the female body, and the fact that some women don't have enough flesh in certain parts to even try it. There's the risk of contracting an infection or disease. There's the issue with cleaning things properly, and for most people, there's always the risk of dislodging or poking holes in their preferred prophylactics. The biggest draw back though is the potential for nerve damage, which would be counter productive to the whole process. But she does have a piercing he has yet to discover, which is what makes it partially a lie. "Billy, ku'ipo, if you t'ink ya man big enough, you should come try find out yaself. I will say dat yes…I got a piercing way below my ears, but I'm not gonna give it away jus' cause ya aks."

The Walrus- whiskey & blues. The "official" playlist for Cobble Hill's favorite queer bar. No, we don't take requests. -X, Flint.
yes i made a playlist for a fictional bar to accompany a fanfic. Sue me.
I approached this as Gates asked Flint to assemble a formal Spotify playlist for the bar that patrons could pull up as a reference after they got the upteenth person asking about what was playing. Flint made the playlist based on the bar's vinyl collection which is predominantly blues oriented, they pride themselves on being an alternative music venue for the facet of the queer community that doesn't enjoy the same club music as their cohorts vibe to in other gay bars.
It'll probably update as I go and yes I'll throw a link to it on AO3 .

*Runs shrieking into Tumblr*
It’s READY!!! Episode two of Reading Between the Lines Podcast is LIVE!!
I had such a wonderful time chatting with @jaynovz and, luckily, I’ll get to do so a regular basis as we work together on Jay’s cupcake AU audio series! 🥳
If you listen, let Jay know how much you loved both her story and her insights!
Anyone else impressed I managed to make it an entire episode and a half without gushing over Toby Stephens? I certainly am! And that streak has ended, my friends.
All hail the amazing creators of the Black Sails Fandom, may they reign in censorship and fear forever. 🙏 Once again, THANK YOU so much to Kelsey, aka @magicbubblepipe for your GLORIOUS episode art! Your work turns my heart into a puddle of warmth in the pit of my stomach this podcast wouldn’t be the same without your wonderful aesthetic touch.
I’ll drop the link to the book referenced in our discussion, for those looking for tools to hone their skills.
But first . . .
You Turned Me Into Somebody Loved by Jaynovz
And the book Jay referenced is Romancing the Beat . . .

in general I think black sails doesn't lend itself very easily to modern aus (the Everybody Lives Happy and Hydrated kind or otherwise) however one thing that always works is the ranger crew. like they are literally some queerplatonic mess of a friend group that met when jack was at uni and do domestic terrorism on the weekends, everyone knows one of those
#I love modern aus but this is also right and I love the way you’ve described them#caint#black sails

Modern AU Black Sails where Flint talks about needing a consort because they can't do this job without another ship.
This is the consort.
(They're not maneuverable enough and they need a push boat to help them get away from the dock)
(Vane keeps zig zagging in front of them in the zodiac - he's almost caused three collisions so far)

Black Sails Kink Meme 2024 Round Up: March
Hello piratefam!
We've had an exceptionally prolific kickoff month for the event: over 100 prompts and twelve delicious fills already for March!! Wow!! :D :D Thank you all so very much for diving into the splash zone of raunchy smut with such enthusiasm!
I've decided to do a round up post for each month the kink meme is live, showcasing those fills submitted to the collection monthly. So here ya go, all the fics submitted in March gathered in one place for your convenience and enjoyment! 😌✨
--
In The Space Between, SilverFlintHam, 2470 words
(For Prompt #13. "Thomas and Flint spitroast Silver. Modern AU. Bonus points for Silver begging like a cheap whore and Thomas being the practical one after, while Flint just wants to cuddle in his papa-bear, protective mode.")
-
And I could close the curtain but this is too much fun, MadiSilverFlint, 1260 words
(For prompt #37 - Flint/Madi, Silver - voyeurism, jealousy. Silver catches them fucking)
-
shifting sands, Maxanor, 1812 words
(For Prompt 29: s3/4 or therebouts, Eleanor goes on her knees for Max and eats her out in That Fucking Chair)
-
Of Poets and Writers, SilverFlint, 8758 words
(For prompt #31. SilverFlint mod AU. Silver is a poet, shopping at a bookstore and overhears a book reading/author signing. He’s drawn in by THE VOICE and heads over to the event only to be instantly in lust with Flint, reading from his debut novel. He listens, then grabs a copy of Flint’s book and one of his own poetry collections off the shelf and purchases them, borrowing a pen from the bookseller. He hops in line for the signing and while he waits, he writes something extremely filthy on the dedication page of his collection, complete with his phone number. He exchanges books with Flint, who looks bemused, but doesn’t read the inscription immediately. He HAD, however, noticed the gorgeous man in the back of the small crowd with the pre-Raphaelite curls and Caribbean blue eyes. He signs Silver’s copy and thanks him for coming. Silver watches him for a few more minutes and then grabs a coffee before heading for the door. Before he reaches it, he gets a text from Flint, who’s finally opened the volume of poetry. They head to Flint’s hotel and he proceeds to just absolutely take Silver apart and then surprising Silver by bottoming. Rimming, topping from the bottom, dirty talk, just very vocal enjoyment from two men incredibly good with words.)
-
When I said I'll return to you, I meant more like a relapse, Maxanor, 3023 words
(For prompt #22: Maxanor, post break up, nasty hatefuck with your ex over That Fucking Chair. Bonus if s3 or s4, extra bonus if there's a strap and Max makes Eleanor beg for it bent over the desk, extra extra bonus if Eleanor cries)
-
Indulgence, SilverFlint, 2306 words
(Prompt #20: Silver, canon era, being completely HOT about Flint's belly (circa season 4) when they're alone. Hotness ensues (kissing, licking, sucking, slobbering, coming all over it, completely unhinged LUST). Bonus points if Filnt's a bit shy about it)
-
Pressure, SilverFlint, 4504 words
(prompt # 57: Silverflint, piss kink/omorashi - Flint REALLY needs to piss during a long ass meeting, Silver notices, stays behind after everyone else finally leaves and drags it out as long as he can by asking nonsensical questions. Eventually Flint is pushed to breaking point and Silver takes over 😈 bonus points for imagery of Flint standing white knuckled gripping the back of his chair, (unsuccessfully) trying to hide his discomfort from Silver 😌)
-
Relief, SilverFlint, 4708 words
(prompt # 57: Silverflint, piss kink/omorashi - Flint REALLY needs to piss during a long ass meeting, Silver notices, stays behind after everyone else finally leaves and drags it out as long as he can by asking nonsensical questions. Eventually Flint is pushed to breaking point and Silver takes over 😈 bonus points for imagery of Flint standing white knuckled gripping the back of his chair, (unsuccessfully) trying to hide his discomfort from Silver 😌)
-
Breaking The Girl (heart of stone, mind of gold, your tongue is made of sword), Flint/Eleanor, 10,723 words
(For PROMPT #61: Pre canon, a younger Eleanor has a crush on the New Captain on the Block (Flint) who appears as if by magic to fill the power vacuum left by Captain Teach after she and Vane oust him. Eleanor's relationship with Vane is on the rocks not too long after as she continues to nurse her secret illicit infatuation for Captain Flint, who she champions on the island to help him consolidate power. She flirts drunkenly with Flint, until one night she just throws herself at him. He's trying to be so gracious, the crush is very one-sided, but he tries to help her through it sweetly, but she's not having it. She wants it rough and dirty.
I wanna see Weird Dynamics, part mentor-mentee part father-daughter part daddy kink part huge crush on a professor vibes. I want Flint to keep trying to slow her down and be sweet and Eleanor fighting him the whole way. Toxic weirdness and big age difference, thank you very much!!)
-
New Horizons In The Dark, Flint/Maroon Queen, 4405 words
(For prompt #58: S3 or S4, Flint trying to jerk off in his appointed quarters on Maroon Island and the Queen walks in on him unannounced to summon him to a meeting, he is MORTIFIED, but then she stands there and orders him to continue as she watches
And she says he better do a good job so that he can actually pay attention to their strategy meeting
So basically the Queen orders him to come hard
And she'll scold him for being distracted and that he needs to take care of himself more often, and that if he has trouble or waits too long her door is always open 👀👀👀
Bonus if somewhere in here, maybe after, they talk about/bond over having both lost spouses and that it's a lonely life and there's no sense in being so lonely)
-
To Be Underestimated is an Incredible Gift, Miranda/Rackham, 4655 words
(For the prompt #78: Miranda Barlow/Jack Rackham, yep, that's the main pairing. pre-canon era, Miranda lives AU, who knows? your choice! you can bring Anne in, and/or Flint, if you want. bonus points for kinkiness.)
-
As a Boy, Admiral Hennessey/James McGraw, 5126 words
(For prompt #24: Pre-canon, midshipman James McGraw is caned/flogged as a disciplinary measure by his superiors and enjoys it. Bonus if he's A Lot Younger. Could be Admiral Hennessy, could be unnamed rando)
-
Thanks again to all our March contributors, y'all have truly knocked it out of the park!! Here's to more unapologetically smutty, kinky fills for April 🥳🥳
