Happy Tuesday, Black Sails Nation!

As was requested by @billie-bones, I’ve listened back through 18 hours of interviews and compiled a list of every fic mentioned on the podcast.

This list is categorized by episode and includes ratings and summaries, as well as direct links to the fics, themselves. I’ll tag as many authors as I can, but I may not know the tumblr accounts for everyone. If you see someone who’s fics are referenced and you don’t see them tagged and happen to know their handle on here, you may want to send this on to them, that way they know which episode they’re mentioned in and can listen to hear the fic discussed if they so choose.

Some fics got multiple mentions across several episodes and so, to streamline, I’ve listed them only under the first episode in which they are mentioned, so there are no duplicate listings.

Edit: This will be a living document, updated with each new episode with any new fic recommendations. If you’re an upcoming guest and want to compile your top 5 and prefer to mention fics that haven’t been mentioned before, this list will be a valuable resource to cross-reference.

I want to thank my dear @tiofrean, partner in crime and all-around badass extraordinaire, for taking my bare bones list of titles, authors, and links, and filling them out with summaries and all the details you may want to know before committing to a fic. She also broke down every series referenced into its individual parts, since ratings and details will change throughout a particular series. She did this without me requesting it because she’s simply that awesome. Not only has she donated cover art commissions for several episodes, including the upcoming-coming Episode 13, but she helped with this project, which took several days, just for that part, out of the goodness of her heart. You sincerely fucking rock!

And without further ado, here is the Reading Between the Lines Podcast: Fic rec Masterlist!

Once again, if you don’t see your friend’s account tagged and they are on this list, please tag them or send this to them.

Sincerest thanks to all of our listeners! When you listen to the podcast, you’re supporting so so many people in this fandom!

Chapter XIII: “Know No Shame.”

This chapter: 

In another world, Miranda Barlow gets word of Alfred Hamilton’s sailing, and she and James Flint concoct a plan. Flint is prepared. Ready. And he does what needs to be done. His actions do unknowingly allow for Thomas’s move from Bethlem to another, supposedly kinder prison in Savannah, but he won’t know that for a decade or more. What he does find out, far too late, is that his actions—sacrificing his crew to get his own revenge—fracture their trust in him. Does he ever really get it back?

In this world, James Flint is not prepared to run afoul of the earl. Yet that darkness inside him still takes over; he still rages and kills. But here Gates knows more. Here, Gates has his back. And when his crew asks questions, Gates pushes him to answer...which will have long-reaching consequences.

And as for the Hamiltons? Miranda not being in Nassau has its first big impact: here, she’s in England when Alfred dies, she knows Thomas is alive, and she is there and ready to free him. Even if Peter Ashe isn’t as helpful as he should have been...

I’m ruined over you

[queer-crusader]

Don't go giving opportunities like this on a silver platter because:

What do you think would've happened with Peter Ashe if Miranda would've recognised the clock earlier and Gates'd been alive?

ALAYA YOU ARE ASKING EVIL QUESTIONS

Also my brain is NOT at full capacity SO. This is HARD to answer. But I think. I'd LIKE to think. Miranda and Hal would've had a get-together. Chatting in low voice about the meaning of The Clock. The dread. The horror. The realisation. Hal would've realised the nebulousness of the path he originally chose. And then they would've inflicted carnage and fucked flint lovingly after as a treat
