for the recs thing: fave black sails f/f fic (any pairing tbh)
thereâs sadly not nearly enough f/f fic in the black sails fandom but i will try my best :D and iâm very glad you asked tbh iâm always happy to talk about my love for f/f fics
as the world shall fresh and deathless last by @sea-changedâ (miranda/eleanor): i love a good rarepair fic and this is FANTASTIC, everything sea-changed writes is always so incisive and well-observed! i love eleanorâs brashness in this fic and how sheâs proven wrong about miranda, and also itâs just really fucking hot đ
whatâs ink on skin to the feeling in our bones by @bal-lantineâ (max/eleanor/anne): i mean everything by bal is amazing, but this fic has a special place in my heart - i really love these three as a poly triad, and this is such a sweet happy modern au with elegant characterisation and a really fantastic anne voice! they go shopping and get matching tattoos!!
Ash Like Snow by @manjusakaâ (max/eleanor): written pre-s4, this is an imagining of a happy ending for max and eleanor, and itâs a really gorgeous one. thereâs an incredibly striking surreal scene.Â
The Price of Sand by fullyajar (max/eleanor, max/anne): this is mid-s3 max and eleanor just having a conversation and a lot of it is very prescient - the characterisation is on point, itâs basically a real scene in the show by this point. i love the weight of everything in this fic, their shared history and complicated feelings about each other.
A Place of Our Own by hippononymous (max/anne): a 10k post-series fic!!! i need so many more long post-series maxanne fics, but this one hits the spot nicely and is a great look at anne slowly healing alongside nassau.
never let me go by @tuotilo (max/anne): a fic i think about almost constantly. just the most achingly good prose - simple but atmospheric and effective. max saves anne from execution. itâs not all happy but itâs⌠wistfully content.
