Even if it weren’t for the soldiers, even if it weren’t for the guns, there’s a fucking warship watching over every inch of the bay. A fucking warship that has already killed half your number. A fucking warship that would prevent any approach to that beach via the sea.

James Flint in every episode:
XXVII.  I wasn’t there, but, um, I’d hazard the guess that you learned of what had happened, told him how fucking stupid he was,
and in that moment, he gave you a look that amounted to something less than contrite.
And in that moment, you felt it. Darkness. Hate. Showing indifference to the authority
that you sacrificed so much to acquire, disdain for refusing to acknowledge that his actions, had you not intervened,
would have led to an outcome that he would have held you responsible for reversing.
Pride. Questioning what kind of man you are if you don’t seek retribution for the offense.
Maybe you went too far. Maybe you didn’t go far enough. Maybe you did it just right.
The point is that while you were doing it, you heard a voice telling you that disciplining him
would prevent him from repeating the offense, a voice that sounded like reason, and there was reason to it,
as the most compelling lies are comprised almost entirely of the truth.
But that’s what it does. Cloaks itself in whatever it must to move you to action.
And the more you deny its presence, the more powerful it gets, and the more likely it is to consume you entirely
without you ever even knowing it was there. Now, if you and I are to lead these men together,
you must learn to know its presence well so that you may use it… Rather than it use you.

Ok but how about a Flinthamilton modern au inspired by Tomb Raider (specifically the 2014 video game but whatever) where Thomas Hamilton is a wealthy lord and museum owner who likes going around the world to collect antiques and artifacts. 

He pays for a ship and crew to take him to a remote island where they’ve just unearthed and gathered new artifacts he wants to purchase for his museum. Miranda is an old friend and his personal physician who goes with him. Flint of course is captain of the ship, The Walrus, and also the ex-lover and now old friend of Miranda’s. Vane, Silver, and Billy are his primary crew.

Miranda and James found out he was gay while they were dating, but he’s still somewhat closeted about it (but not for long!). Thomas and James meet and James is instantly attracted to him so naturally he spends the voyage trying to avoid direct eye contact, touching him, etc. To the point where Thomas starts to notice.

Cut to a severe storm hitting them and knocking out their communications and eventually shipwrecking them on the island. In addition to trying to figure out how to repair The Walrus they also discover that the island has come under attack and is a disputed territory between warring countries (or something similar). 

So it’s up to Flint, also a skilled survivalist, to help Thomas and Miranda survive, etc. 

Silver is the galley chef and helps them find food on the island to eat. Vane and Billy track and kill things. (Maybe some silverbones or billy/vane on the side? Sure why not).

Miranda patches everyone up constantly, especially James (like she did on the show).

Anyways at some point during their adventure Thomas and James find themselves separated from the others. Thomas confronts him about his cold behavior and finally pulls him in for a kiss. At first James resists but then of course he gives in completely. I’m thinking cave sex at some point. 

Anyways just a story idea that will probably never see the light of day so I figured I’d share it on here. :p
