Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💖
lol yall are gonna hate this, these are basically all angst/fucked up--
a stained glass variation of the truth aka the Silver backstory:
This is my fucking... heart and soul. A character study and a writing exercise, just one potential “what happened to Silver,” by no means a definitive take since that doesn’t exist. But I wrote this to get into his head more, or to have him get into mine maybe lmao, to fully embrace and understand him as a character as much as possible. It was hard, excessively researched, gave me fits, and was fucking PAINFUL EMOTIONALLY lol but I love it to pieces.
Also was the first podfic if you would rather listen.
in this garden there’s no feeling aka Hanahaki/flowers au:
This might actually be the piece I’m most proud of from a technical and story angle. Got to explore the Howell-Silver dynamic the way I always wanted while executing the hanahaki trope in... a very Silver-y way.
This is not for the faint of heart lol.
the sweetest devotion, hitting me like an explosion aka Cupcakes:
Funny, sweet, and sad all at the same time. The baker Flint and guitarist Silver rom com, complete with an INTENSIVE beat for beat structure that like, god I’m so fucking proud of. I love this verse intensely, basically the only time they get a happy ending :P
hand in unlovable hand aka The Worst Ending AU:
What it says on the tin lads. What I find to be the most likely interpretation of the ending of Black Sails and my first true collab with Brinn. Holds a very special place in my heart and it’s guaranteed to break yours.
Also exists in podfic form.
darkness in his fingertips, eyes just the same aka Kill Billy:
I finally got to kill Billy Bones and “fix” canon, in a sense. MadiSilverFlint budding ot3, just... full on Dark Mode Silver which was... so satisfying to lean into. This may be the most cathartic thing I’ve ever written.
