For the trope bingo prompt au: romance novel
Thomas Jefferson/James Madison
Modern au. The night before Thomas left for a year in Paris, James drunkenly confessed his feelings – or at least he thinks he did. Now Thomas is returning home and James is in a panic, doubting that Thomas feels the same way he does. Perhaps the welcome home party will help them face up to the truth – if Alexander doesn't get in the way.

Title: The Captain, His Quartermaster, and the Sea Witch
Fandom: Black Sails
Pairing/Characters: eventual Silver/Flint, Jack Rackham, Charles Vane, Dufresne, Billy Bones
Rating: PG-13 (no sex, but Flint is a potty mouth)
Word Count: 3932
Summary: Post S2: Silver makes a bargain with a sea witch to restore his leg, never imagining she would take his voice as payment. Now it's up to Flint to get Silver's voice back but it will take a lot of running around on ridiculous quests, though that gives the captain time to consider his true feelings for his quartermaster.
Content Notes: No standard warnings apply. Crack/humour. Fairy tales/folk tales. Elements of "The Little Mermaid" and "The Old Woman and Her Pig". Warning: fix/erasure of canon disability.
Author Notes: Thanks to Leny for brainstorming when I got stuck on the quests, and for pushing for the more ambiguously resolved and more romantic ending.
You can read the story of the Old Woman and Her Pig at many places online, including sacred-texts.com and GrandmaWard1 reads the story at Youtube.

Author Notes: In my first fic I had Silver help Miranda so I guess it was her turn to take care of him. This is not the ship/friendship I expected to hone in on and one of these days I hope to write Max, who I adore, as well as actual SilverFlint (or OT3) but this is not that fic – though I'm not sorry about the fic it is :)

Author Notes: The first scene of this fic was originally written some time ago for a [livejournal.com profile] legendland crossover challenge but was never posted publicly. As I'm trying to wrap some things up, I've now significantly revised and expanded on the fic. It's almost the fic I originally had in mind, though it still feels slightly rushed to me, and maybe Denna shouldn't be quite so easily taken in, but I feel this is as good as it will get and that it is to be posted now or never.
