John Silver was always able to make the best of a situation. If this particular situation had started to feel complicated, well, a vast fortune ought to prove clarifying. Whatever he might have imagined he'd seen in Flint, the reality was they had used each other. And he had been set to walk away on top.

Except now he couldn't. Now he was trapped. _______

IT IS DONE

This has been by far the biggest and most rewarding creative project of my entire life. Sincere and eternal thanks to @theglintoftherail and @beautifulduckweed for being the most amazing, patient, honest, helpful editors I could imagine, to @piratecaptainraven for being the other half of my writing brain in ways I don't even know how to adequately explain, and to @jaynovz for invaluable cheerleading, podficcing, and deep dives into John Silver Psychology, which they have basically made a field of study. I LOVE YOU ALL.

Did you want this very long incredibly dark ridiculous fic to suddenly turn into several thousand words of very very sweet porn? WELL GOOD.

#writing #fanfic #i am free!#finally they get nice things #there will be lots of darkness and angst in the future #but at least it wont be based on shitty misunderstanding #silverflint #part 2 things #this is why i needed the hands!

Black Sails fanfiction thought: I really want to see Flint and Silver talk about Gay Shit.

[yes this is me making notes and thinking things through for writing and throwing it out into the internet void, why not. disclaimer maybe a lot of this exists and if it does I would love to see it, I certainly have not read all of the things].

In silverflint stories, I would like to see them actually talk about their respective understandings of their sexuality. I understand that they wouldn’t talk about their pasts, identities in general, Having Feelings etc, and also that it is lovely in fanfic sometimes to have the ability to handwave away homophobia and have sex between men just be normal (at least among pirates, Fuck England Forever) I totally support that choice, would that we could in real life,

However, in a world that chooses to deal with how stigmatized gay sex was, and assumes period-typical everything, I think there might very naturally be a “wow, so, you too huh?” kind of conversation. It seems unlikely that there would have been a lot of spaces for these guys to talk about those experiences with other people who might share them. Flint had that with Thomas, but for less than a year, ten years ago. Though he still had Miranda which probably helped. And Silver… well ok who the fuck knows? Maybe he had a lovely queer found family but I suspect not because he cannot have nice things. Anyway. Even if we take the stance of “eh, the pirates don’t care so much” both of these guys were clearly not raised in that world.

So Flint is probably used to talking about it, in a sense. I’m having a hard time imagining how that conversation would go, but I think one take would be Flint sort of saying ‘oh this is a normal, known thing that you don’t need to feel bad about, here look, validating dirty ancient literature’ (not that I’m considering this as a scene or anything. no i am. i totally am, i love it.) Maybe I assume that Silver sees it as “oh this is probably wrong but I do wrong things all the time, so it doesn’t actually matter?” [in this case I’m not specifically talking about my Big Fic version of Silver, who has some other specific shit going on, but rather my understanding of him as a character in general.] But also I think I see Silver as, characteristically, not really wanting to make anything of it at all or act like it matters, and seeing this as very individual/not being interested in or hopeful about trying to change attitudes.

I think where it would naturally come up would be about how much secrecy they want to maintain. This whole thing comes up because I’m working through the development of their relationship after Silver is made quartermaster, and while I definitely do not think they ever go full “hi we are your pirate husbands we are definitely together,” i can envision a range between ‘eh, people can say what they want fuck em,’ and ‘NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW.’ I see it going one of two basic ways that would cause conflict (and obviously you could switch it up and have there *not* be conflict)

1) Flint having a lot of leftover stuff from England and not being ashamed because he knows he’s not supposed to be but still justifying being fucking cautious, because he has already had his life and career ruined over this once, and he also might have some ideas about his reputation of people knew? And Silver coming down more on the side of “you know, it doesn’t seem like these pirates really care, this might be Your Stuff” because he just has broader experiences and a more… creative?.. approach to life. I can actually imagine him late season making the argument like, people are so fucking scared of us this would just be one more crazy rumor that grows the legend.

2) Flint has come all this damned way and lost everybody he loves and the one upshot is that he Does Not Have To Deal With That Shit, and is going to do what he wants and run his ship how he wants and stab anybody who has shit to say about it in the throat. Silver, having had a hard life and also very much choosing to care about specific people and not larger concepts, take an attitude of ‘yes but… dont you know people get hurt over that? does this really have to be an ideological issue?’ this is complicated by/might change around 3.10 that could also be played as a moment of ‘oh THATS why you care, got it.’

Final thought it would also be interesting, even if none of the rest of this is ever discussed, to have it come up as an issue on the ship in some way - maybe someone gets threatened or beat up for doing Gay Things and they have to deal with it, or something - and we see how they respectively want to deal with it?

Everybody wanted to go on this journey with me right? Oh, nobody did? WELL TOO BAD, tumblr is my notes now I guess.
