Black Sails Femslash Week-Max/Eleanor Guthrie ❤️

When my father still lived here, this place was a fucking mess. Men just fucked in tents, threw their shit in the streets.I wonder if he didn’t notice everyone living like animals or if he just didn’t care. Why all this talk of your father? A man-o’-war was spotted yesterday. Royal Navy. What if today’s the day? What if Scott is downstairs right now waiting to give me the news? The British are back. Decamp from Nassau. And then what? Then they blockade the island, choke off trade. A few crews will resist, but how long can they survive without my father’s support? One by one their numbers will dwindle.The fort will be abandoned.Soldiers will storm the beach.By the time the smoke clears,my father will have arrived.First time he’s set foot here in five years waving the royal commission that his bribes purchased and lording over the place.Round of applause, the new governor. Somewhere in London, some foul fuck will get news of all of this, light his pipe and say, “Finally, all is right again in Nassau.” You say this as if it is certain. Perhaps you can buy this place. Nassau will need an inn. Max could be your partner. There is no finer host in the world.

How will Mr. Noonan feel when he hears of this plan? I think maybe soon what Mr. Noonan feels will be of no concern to me.
