Summary
After months of lean days with barely a profit to speak of, the Walrus crew is beginning to grow tired of Captain Flint's apparent weak leadership. With dreary Mr. Singleton's popularity on the rise among the men, Constance senses great change in the air and fears what that will mean for her future on the ship and with Billy. But just as things reach a boiling point, an epic revelation sheds light on all doubts. Change has indeed come to the crew - but not the way Constance expected.

Summary
A piano appears in the Urca cafe, and it's not a big deal... until it is.

Summary
In which Thomas Hamilton finds himself on the same ship as his father when feared Captain Flint attacks. He also finds himself responsible for the teenager his father bought for his comfort.
It’s rather confusing.
Or in which Thomas is in Nassau for Season 1 (ish) with a teenager he ends up raising (despite his views on fatherhood) and tries to secure a normal life for himself, said teenager, his lover and his ex wife.
Easier said than done.

Summary
These things Gates knows: Flint doesn't trust him with the whole picture. His dreams are expansive as the ocean. His luck, if that's what you'd call it, won't last forever.
This Gates also knows: none of that will stop him from loving the man.

Summary
In the world we know, the unforgiving training of the Royal Naval lingers in James Flint. He treats his crew as expendable; they're not more important than the mission. Not more important than his all-consuming crusade to fulfill Thomas Hamilton's dream for a free Nassau. He has Miranda for safe harbor. All his love and devotion go to her.
In another world, when a beaten but not broken James McGraw is told that Thomas and Miranda are dead before he is even transported to the colonies, piracy is what saves him. His crew is his safe harbor. There is no one waiting for him at home in the interior. And when a man whose passion and rhetoric can ignite a war against the civilized world starts thinking about building pirate alliances that much sooner...the world changes.
Or, the sweeping Pirate versus Britain war AU that no one but James Flint asked for, full of angst, suffering, brotherhood, and of course, sea battles.
Eventually, James Flint will find peace. But not without taking back his freedom first.

Howell says there's a chance he might remember, but amnesiac Silver has no reason to stick around. Flint reasons the best way to keep him there is to make him think he's their quartermaster.

Summary
Prompt #50
Bad Cook Silver accidentally aphrodisiac poisons the crew. Take it any direction you want, but my idea is that he buys a sketchy potion in a port somewhere, planning to put it in Flint’s food because he wants Flint to be helplessly attracted to him for manipulation/blackmail reasons. However, through shenanigans, it ends up getting added to everyone’s food BUT Flint and, oh no! The whole crew is horny for Silver. Flint, who did NOT get dosed (but maybe thinks he did?) has feelings about this.
