Summary
I blame E_A_Phoenix for this. I've not felt inspiration for BS writing or even reading in what feels like ages and then I stumbled across his/her absolutely amazing "The Pirates' King" story and well, fuck me, I got dragged back in, black flag raised, sea legs back on and holy moly...
So, here's to you, E_A_Phoenix, and I plan on making a part 2, of course. All my love!

Summary
Oh well, here's part 2 and things get a lot more heated between Billy and the stranger.
Title is a line from a hopelessly cheesy song called "With the Light of a Thousand Suns" by Twilight Force and I'm not even sorry :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRSMuWJzIRI
I hope you enjoy this as well, E_A_Phoenix <3

Pirates gossip worse than anybody. That's just a fact. And I've missed Silver/Muldoon, so yeah, here's part 3 in my very much not canon compliant mess.

Summary
"Low was born a dodgy character, but he lost his whole family. They're all he cared about, and I played his sadism through that. He's sick and twisted but full of love."
Tadhg Murphy on playing the role of Ned Low in Black Sails
We were never told Ned Low's backstory and that irked me a lot when I read about him. He was gruesome as hell with men, but not towards women or children and it's a pure shame an otherwise excellent show just used him as a throw-in villain that was almost comically easy to hate, while so many other characters were so human and diversed.
This, I guess, is my attempt to give him some justice and add the human parts Tadhg Murphy obviously put into his role, only had no scenes that would give the audience the history and understanding HE had. Title stolen from Mulan's "Reflection".

Summary
I should probably post this tomorrow when I'm sober, but fuck that. I love my Lowbones crack ship and welcome anyone who'll give it a chance.
Title is shamelessly inspired by Nightwish's "Away" and I dedicate this piece of angsty crack smut to E_A_Phoenix who woke me up from the Black Sails dormancy I've had since November 2017. I honestly don't know how to thank you.
To any other person who might give this a peek: I truly understand why Billy Bones and Ned Low looks like complete bullshit (because canon wise it is) but BS didn't really make Ned Low justice and both the historical figure as well as Tadhg Murphy deserve better.

For the Darkness Has Passed and the Legend Yet Grows by OnlyOneWoman

Summary
Remember: according to history, Ned Low wasn't prone to hurt women or children. I feel that's important to keep in mind if you feel suspicious about some of the tags.
Comments are always much appreciated and if you feel hesistant to the idea of having a bite of Ned Low the psycho, I want to ease your concern by telling you that Black Sails, for all it's glorious characters, made Ned Low far too much of a psychopath than he actually was, and that is NOT the case in this series at all.
Title is from Skyrim's "The Dragonborn Comes" and Malukah's phenomenal composition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rg2vkz72a8As always, I dedicate it to the one who woke me up from the BS slumber. I hope you enjoy it E_A_Phoenix and I promise I will dig myself into more of your works as soon as I'm back in reading mode again! <3<3<3

Summary
The name Mark means warlike and Mary means rebellion. A snippet POV Mary Read NO ONE asked for, but I'm too deep in this mess now. (Thank you again, E_A_Phoenix.)
I'm not sure if genderqueer or genderfluid character makes sense with Mark/Mary Read but on the other hand, my own gender doesn't make much sense to me either so :p

Make Me Lose my Mask of Sanity (My Fall Will be for You) by OnlyOneWoman
Fandoms: Black Sails
09 Nov 2019
Tags
Summary
Title is inspired from Children of Bodom's "Mask of Sanity" but even more from Nightwish's "Ghost Love Score" and I pretty much wrote this whole piece while listening to this version on repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V_eoR6r1Tw
In this installment, things get more angsty and uncertain. I hope I'm not about to make you miserable, E_A_Phoenix, because I'm honestly not even in control of this story anymore. It just... tells itself.
"Scent of the sea before waking afterwards
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
Into the blue memory"~Ghost Love Score by Nightwish~

Alright, this... this is a mess and didn't turn out the way I expected at all so... Plenty more characters and POV's, for some fucking reason and yes there is angst, pain, blood and some smut. Honestly, I don't even know how this happened... I blame you, E_A_Phoenix! YOU take care of these rumdrenched looney bin idiots now! XD (Bless you!)

Summary
Well, well, well... if it aint part 10 of what was supposed to be a little porny jowl that turned into a fucking warship (or something). And Billy Bones is about to experience a new friendship, in the midst of this mess.
As usual, I blame E_A_Phoenix for this and refuse to take any responsibility for this. Pirates have their own ways and they just don't listen to me.
There are descriptions of blood and stuff, so, just read the tags. Title once again stolen from Nightwish, this time from the masterpiece "The Poet and the Pendulum": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbn9GczYBkw

Ned may have been rescued from the dunegeon, but is there anything left to save...?
Title once again stolen, this time from Keep Of Kalessin's "Dark As Moonless Night": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH4p-SxEiqw
And of course, this is dedicated to the best crackship supporter ever: the amazing E_A_Phoenix, my pirate queen.

Summary
Aaaand, apparantly this story decided it needed more Read POV and Silver POV and I have no idea how this happened, but the sly quartermaster and the suspicious girl are more or less bonding over drinks in the house where Billy tries to nurse Ned back to health.
Title stolen from Nightwish's "The Crow, The Owl And The Dove" and this turned out quite more depressing than I intended to. Fucking pirates, man, I swear... I don't even blame you this time, dear E_A_Phoenix, but it's still for you <3

Among the Victims who died Something Wild has Survived by OnlyOneWoman

Summary
Oh yes, it's that time of the week again: me posting another Lowbones fic and this has gone way out of hand... So, this is more talk and less action, because well, Ned is badly injured and Billy takes care of him, which isn't too easy.
Title is stolen from Children Of Bodom's song "Children Of Bodom".
This is, of course, for you, E_A_Phoenix, and I MUST add that I'm feeling somewhat horrible for not having started on your latest gift (you're increadible, by the way!) since I've not had time to sit down and relax into reading mode, but I'm looking at it with longing eyes and I'm gonna dig into that delicously looking Gunnbones delight some time today!
All the love to you, baby <3<3<3

Summary
“Wha’s this?”
“The alphabet.”
“Ye’re daft. I cannae bloody read.”
“Exactly.”Well, this... this is just strange and I don't know what this story is doing to me, but apparantly, Billy thought Ned needed to learn how to read and write, even if his angry lover is still in a blindfold. And oh, we get a pretty angry Dr. Howell showing up :)
This is, of course, to you, E_A_Phoenix, with love, and naturally, the title is inspired from Nightwish's "The Poet and the Pendulum" because why not.

Summary
Mary and Silver POV time again because, well, they have things to say - or think. Silver is forced to feel shit, Mary gets to know more of Nassau, her Captain is still bedridden and Billy, well, he's a like a big, sweet dog and Mary's picture of pirates just don't fit anymore.
I was asked to bring in Joji and Flint POV in the story as well, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, RaptorSquad22, because I simply find it too hard to keep the story in line if I add too many characters. I hope some Read and Silver will help <3
And as always, I raise my cup of rum to you, E_A_Phoenix. May the wind be prosperous to your amazing ships! <3<3<3

Pitch Black Surface, Abyss of Light by OnlyOneWoman for Turi_Writes
Fandoms: Black Sails

Summary
Just what we all needed, a part fucking 16 of this mayhem embellished with the usual angst and pain, angry one-eyed Captains, stupid, one-legged poodles, angry gunners, worried first mates, a horny girl in men's clothes and a certain hat wearing demon lurking in the shadows.
There's a huge risk (chance) that this series will include my first serious lesbian smut, but I'm not sure. How ever, here's to you, E_A_Phoenix, as another little treat for reasons you already know (you deserve good things!) and also to you TuridTorkilsdottir because finding TWO more lowbone shippers is like finding a second ship of Urca Gold :D
All the love and whoever reads this and has any thought about it what so ever, feel free to comment! <3<3<3

Summary
Since there aren't enough Rackham/Vane or Bonny/Read smut in the world, I decided to shift focus from Lowbones and Silverdoon for this part of the series and just bring on some self-indulgent smut with feelings.
This is basically just porn and Rackham needing someone to listen. It's also my first ever lesbian smut piece so I hope it's not too weird. Forget all about canon and correct timelines too, because my page is where canon goes to die.
And good LORD, I forgot: as always, this is yours, E_A_Phoenix <3

Well, well, well... It took almost two weeks, but here is part 19 of the lowbones crackship and the longest so far. This time it's only Billy and Ned pov, I wanted to concentrate this part on the two of them.
With all my love to you, E_A_Phoenix and to you as well, TuridTorkilsdottir. Raise the black for the lowbones crack ship and bring us the horizon!

Summary
Greetings, fellow buckaneers! The best way to spend the holidays, is by writing more fan fiction and in this part, we get a little more Captain Flint and Mary Read - who surprised me - and more friendship, a royally pissed off gunner, a hurt poodle of a quartermaster, a perpetually confused first mate and two Captains (not) handling their respective losses.
Lets just say that Mary Read is not impressed. Oh, and I wanted to tag the relationship between Flint and Thomas as past, but it seems like it doesn't show up in the tags properly then, so I want to just make it clear that this is long before Flint knows Thomas is still alive so the relationship is very much past for that reason.
Title is stolen from Nightwish's "Sleeping Sun" and I might have stolen a phrase from Gemma Teller in Sons Of Anarchy. If you've seen the show, you'll know which one.
