You killed a friend of mine. Her name was Charlotte… and you did it for reasons that had nothing to do with her. There were men I knew that would’ve killed you for me.<…>

Black Sails Rarepair appreciation week-Charles Vane/Jack Rackham.

I stood between you and him,Jack.When Flint was ready to wage war against you over the gold,I was the one who said you would manage it as well as anyone could. For the good of this place,I was the one who said you could be trusted. Why? Why did you stand behind me in that moment? I’ll tell you why. Because you and I had been through enough shit for you to know that I would do the same for you, that I have done the same for you, and would again without hesitation. I made a commitment to you, with you, to restore this place, to make it strong again. I see no other way to have it done. And I will have it done. I will move heaven and earth to have it done because I refuse to let you down. I knew this would be difficult for you, so I kept it from you. Please know that I meant no slight by it. No lack of respect or friendship. It’s quite the opposite.

for @urcadelimabean who came up with a great idea to have a rarepairs week.

The ship which was attacked was named the Maria Aleyne. The ship was set upon by Captain Flint and his men. And in the midst of the bloody assault, there was one particular victim, a very important man traveling under an assumed name. His name was Alfred Hamilton.

Given the lengths to which this man had gone to protect himself, the fact that he fell under Captain Flint’s sword… suggested he’d been hunted, pursued, and then executed in cold blood and with great malice aforethought. The motive unclear, but the intent apparently dark and awful, monstrous. [My father] said the act was completely incompatible with civilized society.
