(I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself)
—
The rain is heavy outside, hammering against the window but inside it is warm. The fire glows orange and it makes Thomas’ hair shine golden as he touches James’ face. There is an open look of adoration, of need and want in Thomas’ expression; James is helpless in the face of it. With a shudder Thomas draws closer.
“I didn’t think you’d come,” he says softly, his voice betraying the fear he must have been feeling. James leans into the touch and lets his eyes slip shut.
“I couldn’t stay away.”
He hears Thomas inhale and exhale, and then they are kissing.
James’ heart pounds in his chest, his hands reaching immediately for Thomas’ shoulder and neck simply to touch, to hold, to feel-
He shivers as Thomas kisses him and cannot help the desperate moan that flows from his stomach to his chest, tumbling from his mouth into Thomas’. Thomas clutches at him tighter, backs him slowly to the shallow window seat.
“I wanted- I want-” his voice is shaking as he presses their foreheads together.
Thomas shushes him, laughs breathlessly and then James is laughing. “It’s alright. It’s alright… I do too.”
Something precious, small but bright and warm like the glow from the fire, has taken its place in his chest. He thinks, possibly, that it is love.

Righty-o, I feel, with your feedback, I was on the right track. So, I decided to started again. Cheers for the encouragement, guys! I might try to scan it and add colour on the computer.
Rupert Penry Jones in Black Sails Season 2
Ten years.
James Flint in every episode:
XXII. Earlier I told you that I was certain that the pardons would eliminate
all resistance in Nassau and you asked me how I was so certain.
It’s because I helped build them.
Peter Ashe, Miranda, her husband, and I,
we worked to obtain a universal pardon and introduce it to Nassau
to eliminate piracy and restore colonial rule there.
I moved away from those things.
Inch by inch, I forgot it all.
And now, in this cage, in the belly of this thing
that has swallowed us whole… I wonder…
if the civilization of Nassau
isn’t exactly what I tried to achieve all those years ago.
If resisting it doesn’t set me in opposition
to everything I once understood to be good and right.
To forgive. To make order of chaos.
I wonder if the pardons are the victory
and that the most enlightened thing that I can do is sit still.
Accept what appears to be inevitable and let this be the end of Captain Flint.
The idea that he might be looking down on me in this moment and find me not doing everything in my power to see his death answered for? That is something I’m willing to put my life at risk over.

#I’m really dying over the last two shots having the Exact Same composition…. pls#blacksailsedit#my gifs#TO CLARIFY I am not saying jack and charles’ relationship could come close to touching or even being on the same plane as james and thomas’#just that many of the sentiments jack expressed about charles after his death mirror how james felt about thomas#and that given how the scenes on the right are presented to us I believe the creative team WANTED us to reach the conclusion that#jack’s feelings for charles were Not Strictly Platonic#(there’s some p damning parallels in s3 also but I wanted to stick to s4 for this)#(bc I think jack didn’t begin to comprehend he was actually in love with charles until after he died lol typical…….)#welcome to black sails where nobody is straight
That dumb face James makes when the Hamiltons confuse/scare him
Attempting to simplify! I over did it. I prefer the first one… this where digital art is needed! My computer can no longer handle me drawing on it. Perhaps one day. I might work some more in this… but I’m rather disheartened.
