1) The Lock & La Clé (black sails bang)
"Better alone than a bad soulmate," the saying goes to soothe those who've yet to bond, "better a lifelong friend than a lover's brief spark. Your soulmate is one whom you will always want in your life."

After a party game triggers his matchmark, Silver is horrified to find it is not Flint's soulmark, as he'd hoped, but belongs to the one constant in his life, the only person he can't afford to lose. Knowing how good he is at screwing up his personal relationships, Silver takes drastic and dangerous action.



2) The Auction
Flint needs Silver to go to a charity auction in his stead and insists he take soulmate, Max. While there, Silver and Max have a run-in with Woodes Rogers, and Silver suffers more anxiety about his relationship and how he fits in with the Max/Anne/Jack dynamic.


3) Hygiene
One evening Silver is telling his roommates about a run-in with Flint.

4) The Soulbond Goes Both Ways
When Jack is involved in an accident, Max calls Silver in a panic. The repercussions of the incident cause problems for the Max/Anne/Jack relationship and throw Silver into a tailspin of despair as he wonders if Max is about to be bonded with Anne as well as himself.
There's one person Silver knows who has an idea of how complex soulbonds can be; Miranda Barlow. If nothing else, there's the chance of afternoon tea, but Silver gets a reminder of something important to remember.

I finally got some amazing art for my small fandom big bang fic, a modern au of Black Sails, "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)". As some of you know I had a lot of issues with this fic, with beta reader and original artist dropping out and back-up artist submitting stock art incredibly late. This one was a labour of love and I resorted to my own dubious manips and picspam. I've written further fics set in the same 'verse.
This week, in return for my beta services on a translated multi-chapter fic, I received 3 gorgeous pieces of art for the fic and I'm thrilled!

You can see all three amazing pieces of art: https://kana-go.tumblr.com/post/183314033443/a-series-of-illustrations-to-the-so-very-nice-fic

I've updated the fic to include the art and made a new series tumblr post featuring all the current fics and I'll reproduce it here with the banner included in the art.

1)  Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)


When a practice drill awakens real feelings Doctor John Silver finds himself drawn into a complicated if satisfying relationship with both trauma surgeon James Flint and socialite Miranda Barlow that requires him to reconsider his plans and ambitions as well as his sexuality and desires.
Just as things seem perfect however a secret from Flint's past threatens to destroy the fragile balance. Devastated, Silver considers walking away and only Max's common sense might avert further tragedy.
It will take a great deal of courage and honesty from all involved if they're to find a happy ever after.

2) Bad Medicine
When Billy tells Silver that the hospital counsellor blamed his lack of sex with Gates for their recent break-up, Silver insists they report her to Eleanor. As someone with a complicated approach to relationships and sexuality, Silver is determined to support Billy and bring Hudson down a peg. 

3) (There Must Be Some) Misunderstanding
Eleanor calls Silver into her office to broach a delicate matter. Those bruises however are not what she thinks. 

4) Like a Valentine’s Day
Jack and Silver discuss the expenses and complications of polyamory at Valentine's Day.

One of the items on my to do list is to sort out and update my icons and LJ and DW, make them the same on both sites and choose some new icons for some of my new interests.

I'd gathered some new icons already and have spent some time looking at comms to find some others. I went back through my folder of saved icons which included some of my own icons – I was surprised how much I liked some of my older work.

I used to make icons quite often and clearly got better. I'm still rusty but as I still couldn't find exactly what I wanted (show, character, season of show, etc) I decided to make a few of my own.
So these aren't my 'best work' but I'm uploading them anyway ;) I also wanted to see how they look onscreen before I choose between a couple.

Summary:

Ruined and on the run, John Silver is in desperate straits when he meets a gentleman with a shocking proposal. Certain he is close to death, Jack, Lord Rackham, believes Silver to be the perfect man to care for his beloved estate when he is gone - if he will first become his husband...
Marriage is John's salvation - as Lord Rackham he can finally escape his sins. Until three years later, when the husband he believes is dead returns as handsome and strong as ever and intent on claiming the wedding night they never had
(Based on the regency romance novel summary "From Ruin To Riches" by Louise Allen)



I love the [community profile] unconventionalcourtship challenge but worried I wouldn't get this one done because things have been rough lately and my writing has suffered. I spent weeks unable to bring myself to edit this, finally getting it done just before the deadline. I'm happy with the result though I don't expect much audience from this fandom and this pairing.


"I was desperate when you found me," Silver said hoarsely. "I would have done anything to survive. But all you asked of me was that I carry on your legacy and I have done that to the best of my ability. Now you are home and talking of being my spouse. Of relationships."

Jack closed his eyes for a moment. Dear God, did Silver think Jack was here to consummate the marriage without consent?

"Are you saying you're afraid I will claim you? Force you down on that bed and take you?"

Silver's lip trembled. "You are my husband and the superior partner. It would be your right."

Jack stood and Silver shrank in on himself, Max tensing.

"I shall forgive you," Jack said tightly, "for such terrible thoughts. I can only assume you know nothing of the man I am to harbour such slanderous thoughts."

Unconventional Countess by meridian_rose (meridianrose)

John Silver, the fraudulent Earl of Poole, awakes to find a beauty berating him - but he cannot recall the last three months of his life, nor having a wife. Max is clearly a most unsuitable consort, but then he's known as being an unconventional earl. Suspicious of Max's presence in his life, Silver struggles to regain his memories but it seems his heart remembers things his head does not.

"John?" Max's voice was filled with concern. She had her hands on his shoulders and he was leaning into her. "Mon chéri. Talk to me."
He closed his eyes, gathered himself. "I remembered something."
"That is good." She lifted one hand now he had his balance, cupped his cheek, her thumb caressing his chin.
"Is it? I remember you were a whore. That you tried to blackmail me."
She didn't deny it nor did she move away.
"How did we go from there to here? Why do I feel more trust than suspicion about you?"... he couldn't help but look at her and feel that there was more to this arrangement than blackmail. His heart seemed to remember things that his head had forgotten.
Was it possible he'd truly come to care for her? Was it so foolish to wish she had also come to care for him?
