Summary
expanded, fleshed out S3 plot: The Queen of Thieves, Eleanor Guthrie finds herself convicted of piracy on the high seas by the Martial Court in London. Her father is dead, murdered by her former lover Charles Vane. Driven by hatred, she grabs her chance to take him down. Her voyage to Nassau though is the source of a sea-change within, until love becomes her motivation. POVs: Eleanor (main), Rogers (main with pre-Nassau flashbacks, but gradually introduced), Max (supporting), Vane (supporting once).
Fan warning: I follow canon evidence and hints of S3 that shed another light on Vane-Eleanor and Maxanor. This is no fix-it, but expands why Eleanor loves and chooses Woodes Rogers. The show-writers took a bleak, but realistic emotional approach of Eleanor and showed well enough how Vane's and Max's own interests conflict with her ideals. Thus, Eleanor abhors Vane and mistrusts Max in this fanfic.

expanded, fleshed out S4 plot: With the British defeat at the Maroon Island the rebellion on New Providence gains momentum. After hanging Charles Vane, Eleanor knowingly made herself a target. In order to protect Eleanor from the ire of the rebellion and shield her reputation amongst his own men, Woodes Rogers manouevers Eleanor into the respected background role of a wife. As the stakes get higher, the dangers more dire and enemies close in, there is very little Woodes would not do to keep his wife safe.
