3x02 Flint convinces his crew to sail into a storm rather than face deadly battle or accept pardons, and this storm will kill them, and John Silver (the man who no one knows) looks up at Billy Bones and tells him he's afraid. Not of the storm but of the fact that he let Flint into his head when no one is suppose to be there. "He had me there too, and that is not suppose to happen."

John Silver shared a truth that exposed him raw and admitted to everything he'd kept close to his chest, to his methods and motives and fears and weaknesses. Just because he could, and the words were there, and the wind was loud.

Just. Fucking insane over this union that Billy and Silver fall into from time to time, where they converse low and quiet with each other and drop their charades as Silver Tongue and People's Man and allow their iron spines to falter for seconds at a time. And they don't trust one another. But they do allow themselves to move the curtains from their faces so only the other can see what's underneath and they understand what it means, and the worst, best part of it all is that they have no reason to do this with one another, not at all.

endless silverbones

the first meeting (aka the moment Silver’s crush on Billy started)

[ID: Three vibrant GIFs of John Silver, Billy Bones and Hal Gates from the TV Show Black Sails, with an emphasis on the cyans. 1: Gates approaches Billy with John at his side and slightly behind him. He says something to Billy and Billy glances briefly at Silver before looking down (presumably to keep doing what he was doing before they arrived). 2: Gates and Silver smile at each other before they both turn to look at Billy. When John looks at Billy, his little smile disappears and he blinks while his mouth falls slightly open. 3: Billy looks at Gates and tells him something, ignoring Silver. End ID]
