Title: The Power of the Telling
Author: Farasha
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 4,381
Summary: In a quiet moment back at New Providence, in Miranda’s house, John Silver ponders the man James Flint might have been once upon a time. Flint still knows so little about his quartermaster, it seems that John can still surprise him, even in the smallest things.

Recommendation: I just love the literary references, Flint and Silver talking about books. Be still my book-loving heart. If that wasn’t enough, conversations are had about feelings. So, so very good.

Title: We Pull Apart the Dark, Compete Against the Stars
Author: mapped
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 6,780
Summary: After Silver learns about Thomas Hamilton, he cannot stop thinking about that man and what he means to Flint. He knows that he wants Flint, but how can Flint want him back when he’s nothing like this man that Flint speaks of with such undisguised adoration?

Recommendation: This was lovely. James McGraw loved and was loved by Thomas Hamilton, but James Flint is an entirely different animal. John Silver probably never would have fit with James McGraw but he’s really rather perfect for James Flint. He just needs to be told so.

Title: Until Death It Is All Life.
Author: Craftnarok
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 12,378
Summary: Ever since Flint told Silver about Thomas he hasn’t been able to stop imagining Flint with another man. But then that turns into him imagining Flint with him, and it’s only been a few days, but Silver thinks he might be about to lose his mind. So he has to do something about it.

Recommendation: And we see here Silver’s sanity and self-preservation slowly dribbling out of his ears as his mouth runs away from him. But all is well, Flint sees what’s really going on and is just waiting for Silver to man up. I love the reference to Don Quixote, very apt.

Title: Now Towards the Open Sea
Author: mapped
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 1,626
Summary: Whoever heard of Theseus falling in love with the Minotaur? (In which Silver spends way too much time comparing his situation to a Greek myth.)

Recommendation: I can’t help but like the classical allusion. It’s fits rather aptly.

Title: Whetstone
Author: balloonstand
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 4,816
Summary: Written for the prompt: Shaving fic. Flint shaving Silver, or Silver shaving Flint. Something where the intimacy and eroticism of that act is highlighted, as well as the amount of trust it requires.

Recommendation: So intense with all this trust and intimacy, I love all the things they don’t say to each other.

Title: Push
Author: tessykins
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 2,813
Summary: “God above, you infuriate me,” Flint gritted out. “And you need me,” Silver smirked. Flint growled and his fists clenched. Silver appreciated the sentiment. He’d become all too familiar with need ever since he’d joined this god-forsaken crew.

Recommendation: What a delicious bit of naughtiness, Silver knows all the right buttons to push.

Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 2,966
Summary: When Flint takes it upon himself to ensure Silver is properly trained in using a musket, things become a little tense.

Recommendation: Flint training Silver how to fire a musket. And all the innuendo. All of it. Plus feelings.

Title: What's in a Name?
Author: Craftnarok
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 8,863
Summary: Some conversations in the dark between Flint and Silver, set during episode 3x09. They have a moment alone in the Maroon camp, after Mr Scott’s death, and what begins as curiosity and sharing develops into rather a lot more.

Recommendation: I love the poignant, almost symbolic exchange of real names. But it’s more than that, it’s a baring of true selves and the trust that it won’t be used against them. So lovely.

Title: What You Wanted
Author: samedifference61
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 2,066
Summary: Silver moves like the ship belongs to him today, like the Atlantic would part at his command if he would just give the word. It all leaves Flint feeling drawn to him like a compass’s pull toward north, and he’s left wondering how quickly tides can shift and how he could have underestimated this one man so severely.

Recommendation: Nothing is quite so seductive to a psychotic pirate as stomping a man’s face in, but it’s not really about that so much as understanding each other’s darkness.

Title: Green-Eyed Monster
Author: ember_firedrake
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: General [G]
Word Count: 1,646
Summary: Flint vs. Flint (aka a silly fic where Captain Flint encounters Captain Flint the parrot and is really grumpy about it)

Recommendation: Ah, sneaking in book canon. Very nice, and with the lifespan of green macaw’s being like 80 years, Silver could/would have likely got his parrot while Captain Flint was still alive. It would have been something of a reminder and I’ve gone and given myself a sad. This story doesn’t deserve that as it is very cute, so please enjoy.

Title: Resurrection
Author: zelda_zee
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 1,984
Summary: Flint would have him, come what may.

Recommendation: Flint doesn’t just let Silver call himself a creature. Breaks my heart a little that he’d of said it at all.

Title: Old Goat
Author: HT_Pantu
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 4,928
Summary: After S2.e3 (XI) - Silver needs a firm talking to about his recent lack of self-preservation, but good leaders and large quantities of gold aren’t that easy to come by - *thats* why he’s still in Flint’s crew. He’s certain. Mostly smut, that I wrote because I said I would :)

Recommendation: Silver becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the state of his priorities and the fact that Flint is climbing the list, and then there is sex. Rough and dirty sex.

Title: Concurrence
Author: ember_firedrake
Canon: Black Sails
Pairing: James Flint/John Silver
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 2,495
Summary: For the anon on tumblr who requested “the first time Flint & Silver call each other by their first names”

Recommendation: It might be Tumblr’s fault entirely that I felt the need to look into Black Sails ‘cause of all the pretty, pretty gifsets. But I must admit that I’ve been quite enamored of Toby Stephens since he played Mr. Rochester in my very most favorite adaptation of Jane Eyre, so there wasn’t really any chance for me.
