Expanded Info for Black Sails Kink Meme 2024

Hi there!

Since there has been a sufficient amount of interest for this idea, let me explain a little further how I think this will work and general guidelines–

I’m encouraging as informal and low stress/pressure of an atmosphere as possible here. Back in The Day when LiveJournal Kink Memes were common, it was very typical to see a prompt put up and filled within an hour. It doesn’t have to be polished, it doesn’t have to make logistical sense, it just has to fill the prompt as best as you can, sexily! It’s supposed to be fun. A bunch of fun, raunchy kink and smut to roll around in as a fandom. 🥳 🥳

So yeah, first thing to expect, it’s basically ALL PWP (porn without plot). Not to say that someone can’t write a full plot epic if they like, do whatever you like, but in my experience, a 4am fugue state smut fill written in a sweaty haze is kind of, the spirit of the thing. We’re creating ficlets, snapshots, tasty treats of smut with as little pressure to make it in any way polished as possible. Please think of this as, hmmm, a little fun writing exercise you do before you go back to your Big Serious Work, if that helps. We are letting loose, we are having fun, we are being deliciously, joyously, unrepentantly filthy with it! The tagline for the event is: “Get High, Jerk Off Three Times, and Write Me a Warmup :DD”

A prompt might say, for example– “MaxAnne, s2, would love to see the girls get slippery wet with some period sex, bonus if one or both eats the other out while she’s menstruating.” 

Pretty standard stuff, nothing that off the wall from my perspective, however, some folks might feel shy about asking for it for whatever reasons and so the anonymous format frees ppl up to ask for anything from: “Midshipman James McGraw getting caned in pre-canon by his superiors” to, idk, “full tentacle-y type oviposition porn where someone is being forced to come over and over again while being implanted with eggs by some giant plant beast on Skeleton Island (probably Silver).”

Literally ask for whatever smut you want~~ This is your chance, toss it into the pot! It will be tagged accordingly when posted if it’s filled, so live your truth, chase your bliss, know no shame, no one can see you~~

It is helpful when submitting a prompt to give details that are important to you, and the prompt filler will do their best with it. <3 So, I suggest giving a ship specification up front, maybe a vague timeline (season 1, season 2, etc), and then the kinks you want to see with a short description. Sort of like the MaxAnne period sex I gave an example of above.

Logistics and Structure of Submissions–

I have created a sideblog called @blacksailskmeme through which, once submissions are live (it will be open to accept prompts hopefully in March 2024), you may submit ANON ASK PROMPTS. I will publish them with a number and a link to the collection. If you like one of the prompts, simply post it through the collection with its corresponding number and then that AO3 link to your fill will be reblogged underneath the original ask prompt.

Simple as that! 

Follow the Event Blog, or the tag #2024BSKMemeFills in order to keep tabs on when prompts are filled. 

This makes it very easy for me and yall both, as there is no claiming process to trouble ourselves with. As many fills as are written are allowed for each prompt, simply write whatever speaks to you and I’ll be able to track the fills by the notifs on the collection. :DD

As of now, I’m planning to open prompts in March 2024 and keep the collection and blog running for prompts and fills both up through the end of Summer 2024. To respect the spirit of the event, all fills and prompts MUST be anonymous. Edit for clarification: The entire collection is marked Anonymous, which means any work submitted to it will be posted Anon. There is no option you need to worry about checking to guarantee this. I apologize for the initial confusing language, I have been learning as I go.

It still stands that if, after the event is closed, you want to then de-anon your work, that is your prerogative. However, it will mean you must remove the work from the collection, as the collection itself will forever and always remain anonymous.

Rules–

–This is an 18 plus event, please, as all of the content will be Explicit. 

–It is also a Black Sails Only Event, please no crossover prompts or fills. However, AU of all types are encouraged with our favorite pirates.

–All ships, all kinks, are welcome for submission, and the fill will then be tagged appropriately. If you have any questions on how to tag something, or just want another pair of eyes to confirm, you can always DM me <3

–Fills must be 500 words minimum of fic. There is no maximum and the fill is allowed to be WIP if you intend to write more chapters later. I would encourage that the content of the prompt be IN the first chapter at least before submission to the collection.

–We’re Gonna Be Nice and Civil!! No ship bashing, no kink shaming, we’re all mature adults here. If you don’t like something, then don’t fill it, don’t reblog it, don’t read it, pretend you do not see it. If you don’t like it, it’s not for you! 

If I haven’t covered everything here, or if you’re unsure about something, feel free to reach out to me either through the event blog or through @jaynovz <3 Also, if you’d like to help me out with the event, hit me up as well.

Thank you!

Do you have some recs for recent silverflint modern AU fics? Thank youuu

Hello there! <3

I sure do! Question is, what do you mean by recent? I got all of the interesting ones (interesting to me) from the last uh... three years? I rarely read unfinished ones, though, so there may be gems I haven't approached yet!

Disconnect (QueerCrusader) - It's a modern influencer AU with Silver and Flint being very in character (I think). There's some emotional constipation, a little bit of drama, and fluff. I really like how Flint and Silver work in this one, how they are reluctant to be together even if it's inevitable. Good, smooth writing, although it's long (totally worth it, tho! The length is a bonus IMHO). Unfinished as of yet, but it's probably the only unfinished one I can recommend <3 (Oh! BTW, it's HOT and totally deserves its E rating!)

Red Wine & Pick-up Lines (Evil_Keshi) - a sweet, humorous, short AU with a very cute twist and horrible pick-up lines. I loved it the moment I've read it. Definitely recommended! The rating is Teen and Up.

Ye Go To Be Kitten Me (Evil_Keshi) - short and sugar-sweet. It has a cat, a grumpy James (grumpy only for show) and an adorable domestic scene between them both. The rating is Gen and it's absolutely adorable!

The sweetest devotion, hitting me like an explosion (Jaynovz, Brinnanza) - Flint is a baker, Silver is a busker, parrot is a parrot. James is too grumpy for his own good, Silver is definitely irritating, but they make do in the grand scheme of things. Very good portrayal of them, and the spicy scenes are spicy :D The rating is E. It's a long one, but definitely worth it. There's heartbreak, there's angst, there's comfort, and there's fluff.

I Want Us Both To Eat Well (Claypigeons) - A short but sweet (and FUNNY) au with Silver being completely incompetent in the kitchen and Flint rescuing him from burning the whole apartment down. And cooking for him. Entertaining and fluffy. The rating is Teen and Up.

One Tall Latte With The Oh-shit Flavor (Tio_The_Walrus) - The first part of a longer series, each of them oneshots that can be read as stand-alones. Silver works in a cafe, James has a boat. There's a tiny bit of drama across the series, as well as a lot of comfort, a tiny bit of hurt and angst, some humor and a lot of parrot (although the parrot is there only from the second part onward). Rated Explicit.

I hope some of those fit your reading style, Nonny! <3 And thank you for the ask! It was a pleasure to go through those again (and leave some open for a re-read!)

The Heart of Admiration - Conclusion

Coming in juuuuust under three years in the making, my epic OC collaboration with @acebreathesfire​ is finally complete and posted! it didn’t sit right, to leave this unfinished.

As my choice of photo may imply, this is an Explicit chapter. I am who I am, and my slow burns must culminate in all the details. Hope that doesn’t turn anyone off! There is more plot after the naughty bits, if you prefer to scroll to the end...

taglist: @kind-wolf​ @ladyhubris @summertimesadness101 @23orso @n3rdybird​ @bitchyikes​

Hope is fairly certain that Charles meant for her to follow. And the fire that his heavy look ignited in her core certainly is impelling her to rush after him, but she doesn’t let her feet move. If she enters that cabin with him now, after everything that’s been said, his touch still hot on her skin, there’s only one thing that can happen.

And that thing will be irreversible.

“Hope,” Jack calls across the table, interrupting her moment.

She turns to him, blinking, hoping any trace of moon-eyed girlishness has cleared before he can catch her throwing any more looks after their captain.

SFW🌿

⭑ You weren’t a fan of port. It meant leaving the ship and interacting with other ... people. 

⭑ The noises, the smells, people not moving out of your way. It drove you crazy. 

⭑ But that was where you met John, on the island of Nassau. 

⭑ He had become well-known throughout the plundering community. He was respected amongst his crew and worked well with Captain Flint. Their relationship created an almost impregnable barrier against enemies.

⭑ You were fearsome in your own right. 

⭑ You were born on a pirate ship; your mother the Captain and your father the First Mate. 

⭑ You carried a legacy. One that had been started by your parents, and as they had no other children, you had the sole responsibility. 

⭑ Luckily enough, the pirate life was for you. 

⭑ Although it was a difficult life - having people rely on you, you had grown up with it. Gotten used to it. Your mother died 10 years ago, your father not long after that. They were in love. 

⭑ Love ... they were the only representatives of true love. 

⭑ You didn’t think much about that. Much about finding a partner. You just wanted a good crew. Men and women you could rely on. Loyal. But they had to be loyal to a fault. 

⭑ And they were - 

⭑ Anyone who double-crossed you, or sold you out... well... they lost their tongue, and fingers. 

⭑ You didn’t like it; the savagery of it all. 

⭑ But it was the life you knew. 

⭑ John was a surprise though

⭑ And surprises didn’t go well with your line of work

⭑ You didn’t like him at first. There was an air of arrogance when you first met. But you had mistaken what it actually was; a barrier. A wall against another potential enemy.

⭑ Now, after 3 years of marriage, John still has moments of arrogancy. 

⭑ You lived relatively rich lives. The gold and jewels you had found funded a comfortable life.

⭑ It was away from the prying eyes of pirates, but not too far from civilization

⭑ It was just you two. And it had taken John a bit of getting used to. Well, as did you.

⭑ You still wanted to live part of your life at sea. And John was completely okay with that

⭑ But you were never gone for long though 

⭑ Although he was an awful cook when he stumbled into Flint’s crew, he’s actually developed his culinary skills and is great at whipping up an easy meal

⭑ Probably have a pet of some kind

⭑ Although John said it was nothing but another mouth to feed. But you couldn’t resist 

⭑ Most days John feels cold, even in the heat, he’ll feel the slightest chill in the air and wrap up

⭑ You like to trace to the scars on his body, and he shivers 

⭑ He never forgets your birthday, even though he doesn’t know his. He picks a random day every year 

⭑ Likes to hear you breathing while sleeping next to him 

⭑ Hums a lot. While bathing, tidying up, while doing yard work. He likes to sing too

⭑ You have hidden weapons around the property

⭑ And you both always have a gun and a knife on your person

⭑ Likes it when you braid his hair

⭑ And you give him haircuts

⭑ You absolutely adore his curly hair

⭑ Some days his leg hurts so badly that he has to lay in bed. You bring him tinctures and teas to ease the pain 

⭑ He doesn’t know what he’d do without you

Wondrous Love by Bear McCreary

𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝑻𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒔:

  ✧ Himbo Wife Energy 

  ✧ Bastard (John) x Likes The Bastard And Is Mad About It (You)

  ✧ Just A Hook Up > Crew Members > Friends > Lovers > Married

  NSFW🔞minors dni!

⭑ Oh he does love to be dominated. Without a doubt. 

⭑ He’d happily lay there as his wrists and legs are tied, completely at your mercy. 

⭑ Has both Mummy and Daddy issues... he likes to be coddled and told what to do

⭑ Likes to be pegged, but only if you call him a “good boy” 

⭑ When kinks/fetishes aren’t involved. Then the sex is very intimate and passionate. 

⭑ John won’t stop looking into your eyes, trying to capture some part of your soul and merge it with his. 

⭑ His movements are slow and deep, hitting parts of you that you thought you weren’t able to feel

⭑ John’s strong arms wrap around you, holding you tightly; all he wants is to show you how deeply he feels. These moments aren’t rare, but neither are they common

⭑ He’s very good at foreplay, and his seduction techniques are otherwordly

⭑ He can turn you into jelly by the way he kisses your neck

⭑ His hands are large, and when he fingers you,  you whimper shamelessly

⭑ Loves nibbling on your ear lobe 

⭑ Gets out of trouble by whispering sinful things in your ear

Title: 

The way is closed. Open the way? 

Summary: 

They didn’t do it, but they could have done it. If only they’d had a little more time. If only Flint had been the sort of man who could yield. If only they had emerged from the darkness of those tunnels together, into the light of a new day.

or

A continuation on my thesis that they could have been saved if Flint had gotten some deep pressure touch therapy. If you know what I mean.

Hello Flint apologists, bisexual John Silver girlies (gender neutral), and people who believe that Madi should be allowed to do whatever she wants forever. 

Enjoy some fix-it fic.

And Spaces Between Us

James/Thomas | Pre-Canon Fantasy AU

For a moment, James wondered if he was hallucinating, but a glance at Gates told him they were both struggling to believe it. They were looking at a merman. He seemed to be asleep, face turned away from them and breathing steadily. 

Stepping cautiously around the table to get a closer look, James took in the creature’s anatomy with growing fascination and then stopped, frozen, when he saw his face. It was a face he’d know anywhere. It was a face he could find in a crowd of five thousand. It was Thomas’s face. 

The creature opened his eyes, meeting James’s gaze. He did not look afraid. In fact, he looked happy, smiling just as Thomas might have. If it weren’t for the glowing irises, it would have been a perfectly identical match.

Nobody—least of all Flint—would believe it if Silver said that he hadn’t intended to fuck Flint, which was why he didn’t say it. The truth was that it had never so much as occurred to him until that first time, which today Silver could barely remember. He only knew what came after: the carefully delineated moments of time in which the roles of captain and quartermaster were surrendered in favour of a different set of roles entirely.

Rated E. 1240 words. Hopefully series part 1/6

[lallouette]

This is what happens when I mainline season 2 in two days. Vaguely pre-canon, Flint has a realization about attitudes among pirates. ~700 words, this does veer off into angst toward the end:

He was up on deck, double checking the direction of the winds that would put them in the path of the Bountiful, when he heard some kind of commotion down in the crew’s quarters. Shouting, and the unmistakable sound of punches landing. It sounded like there were enough men involved that he should probably help break it up. 

“Stay at your tasks,” he told the men on the deck, when he saw their eyes flick toward the quarters. He sighed. Sometimes he did miss Navy discipline.

By the time he got down to the crew quarters, Mr. Gates was standing amidst a group of men bearing the aftereffects of a fight. Most of the men were clustered together, making it obvious who the actual combatants were. A man whose name Flint didn’t remember leaned heavily against the hull of the ship, while on the other side of Gates, Harrison, the cooper, stood with his arm slung over Mitchell’s shoulders. Mitchell’s shirt was untucked, Harrison’s breeches unlaced as if they’d dressed in a hurry. 

“What’s going on down here?” He looked at Gates, hoping those assembled wouldn’t all start talking at once. 

“Them two —“ the man leaning on the hull wheezed, pointing at Harrison and Mitchell. “Them two —“

Gates cut him off. “Mr. Beasley here —“ he gestured at the man who’d just spoken, “started a fight with Mr. Harrison and Mr. Mitchell, and it would seem the rest of the crew objected.” 

“And what provoked him to start a fight?” 

“It would seem he came across Harrison and Mitchell in a, well, compromising position.” 

Gate’s voice faded into the background. He looked again at the two men standing together. Harrison was leaning against Mitchell perhaps more than was necessary, even here, in front of the crew. He caught Flint looking and stared back at him defiantly. 

“. . . ridiculous. If you want to continue on with this crew, you’d do well to learn to mind your own fucking business.” He realized, with some surprise, that Gates was chastising Beasley, not Mitchell or Harrison. 

He realized he’d just been standing there while Gates passed judgement. “All of you, as you were,” Flint said loudly to the rest of the men gathered. They started to disperse, grumbling and casting nasty glances at Beasley. 

“Are we free to go?” Mitchell asked, a challenge in his voice. 

“Go on. Just make sure you’re not going to be interrupted if you’re going to have a go, alright?” 

They turned away. Flint released a breath that he hated himself for holding. 

He caught Gates before he turned away. “Mr. Gates? A word, if you would?” 

Gates caught up with him as he left the quarters. He didn’t say anything until they were back up on deck, away from curious onlookers.

“Is this something we should be concerned about?” 

“I wouldn’t think so. Beasley’s fresh off the Navy ship, you know how they are about that sort of thing.” He almost laughed. Gates had no idea how familiar he was with the Navy’s reprisal against that sort of thing. “Hopefully the others don’t go after him again.” 

Flint kept his face as neutral as possible. “I was a bit surprised the others backed Harrison and Mitchell.” 

Gates shrugged. “It’s no secret. They made it very clear they came on as a pair or not at all, and anyone who’s been in close quarters can have no doubt as to what the reason may be.” 

“Even so.” 

“The men know and like Mitchell and Harrison. It’s the way of things on most crews. There’ll be one or two pairs, and everyone lets them be for the most part, especially if they’re well liked.” Gates hesitated. “Does it bother you?”

“No,” Flint said, more forcefully than he meant, “No. I don’t care what the men do as long as it doesn’t interfere with the running of the ship.” 

“It can work in our favor, actually. They fight harder if they’re tied to someone on the ship. And it makes for at least two men who aren’t as desperate to get back to shore.”

Flint made himself laugh. Gates patted him on the shoulder. “Now, I should probably go make sure the crews not going to murder Mr. Beasley.” 

He walked away. Flint waited a few seconds, and then he let the wall crumble. 

These men didn’t care that two of their number were sharing a bed. Not only that, they were willing to stand up for their right to do so. Harrison had been secure in his position, had looked him in the eyes and dared him to tell him he was wrong. 

That’s what it looked like to live without shame. Thomas would —-

The familiar pain bloomed beneath his ribs. Thomas wouldn’t, because he was dead. All that was left now was to avenge him. 

He put Captain Flint back on and went to go face his crew.

4.09 Silverflint Sword Training Fic Rec List

In all ways but physical, I am up on the Maroon Island cliffs watching two clever idiots refuse to confess their love to each other. Except when they do tho, because this is fanfiction!

Here are my recs for stories centered around the 4.09 sword training scenes. Enjoy!

--

Cloth of Gold by dornfelder--

Summary: "Tell me one thing," Flint says.

Silver lifts his head, eyes full of apprehension. "If I can."

"If you were to tell me about your past – about all the things you cannot bear for me to know – what do you think I might do?"

Notes: One-shot, 3.3k, rated M.

A Ship is a Republic by robotboy--

Summary: Flint and Silver train every day on the cliffs, and Silver starts to realise he likes being told what to do.

Notes: Multi-chapter, 19.7k, rated E.

Riposte by Apetslife--

Summary: noun: riposte; plural noun: ripostes (Fencing) a quick return thrust following a parry.

Notes: One-shot, 3.3k, rated G.

flame you came from me, fire meet gasoline by jaynovz--

Summary: The incident on the warship lights a desire in Flint. It’s a powder keg with a fuse that burns slow but hot, flaring up at the worst moments and threatening to obliterate him.

It torments Flint off and on, but he manages to go long stretches of time without thinking about Silver's cock at all. About the delicious mouthful Silver is hiding in his trousers and how it might make Flint’s jaw ache pleasantly. Inevitably, Flint's mind drifts at the most inappropriate moments.

He cannot help but watch Silver and desperately want.

Notes: One-shot, 4.8k, rated E.

two dead boys stood up to fight by vowelinthug--

Summary: 4x09 flashback fic, made gayer

because flint looks like THAT while sparring, and silver is not actually Long John Silver. which is to say, he's only human.

Notes: One-shot, 5.8k, rated T.

Our Shadows That Are Bold by x_etoile_x--

Summary: “No.” Silver’s voice isn’t loud, but it is commanding in a way Flint hasn’t heard directed at him in a long time. A way that does nothing to quell the heat that is growing in him as he stands entirely at Silver’s mercy, heat that is much more than the remnants of exertion from their fight. “I think it's time you’re honest about what is happening here.”

Notes: One-shot, 4.9k, rated E.

you reveal the darkest versions of yourself at the precipice by coffeeandchemicals, red_plaid_on_red_plaid--

Summary: You are standing on the top of the cliffs, chest heaving, throat parched, wishing that you were back in the Doldrums. Because, even though you were starving, dying of dehydration, lips cracked, skin burnt and flaking, maybe from the sun, maybe from too many days with mere mouthfuls of water, even though you were sure that death was coming for you, at least Flint was not looking at you then like he is now.

Notes: One-shot, 1.9k, rated M.

That old sword-play by jauneclair--

Summary: 4.09 coda, in which sparring leads to sex.

Notes: One-shot, 2k, rated E.

we lean like gardens (toward light) by mapped--

Summary: Silver takes his shirt off. Flint probably shouldn't have criticised Silver for watching his eyes, because, as it turns out, that's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Notes: One-shot, 3.6k, rated E.

save every day 'til eternity passes away by lacecat--

Summary: Perhaps that’s where they exist, somewhere between the sea and sand, between something human and something otherworldly. Something known, tangible, and then something easily forgotten, as if it too was eroded by the waves.

[4x09 extended scene]

Notes: One-shot, 3.5k, rated M.

what we have left undone by pdameron--

Summary: “You have my genuine friendship,” he says on the cliff, voice quavering, “and loyalty. Can that be enough?”

Flint hesitates, stares down at his sword for a charged, long moment, and Silver can feel his heart splinter as he realizes that it isn’t.

(yet another Flint and Silver on the Cliff Fic)

Notes: One-shot, 2k, rated M.

something just like this by samedifference61--

Summary: Making James Flint purposefully wait for him? Now that’s something that sparks Silver’s curiosity.

A little 4x09 flashback cliff!porn piece that doesn't actually have any porn, just some sword fighting, stripping, banter, and kissing really.

Notes: One-shot, 2.1k, rated M.

As always, if there is an inclusion that you think I have missed, you can DM me and I will check it out. 💜

Summary:

“Where do we go? Where do you want to go?”

And he could lie about it to himself, he could avoid telling Thomas, but there was no denying that the first image this question conjured was a hill with two swords embedded in the sandy ground.

My First Fanbind! A Black Sails Fic Anthology Series

It took me a year (and a lot of anxious research) before I worked up the courage to bookbind fanfiction, and after months of on-again-off-again work, my first fanbind is finally done!

I knew that if I was going to bookbind fic, I had to bind something from the Black Sails fandom, aka the fandom and show that have had the biggest impact on my life. Y'all, I almost went into academia to study slavery in the 17th-18th century Caribbean because of this show - when folks say this show rewires your brain chemistry, they are NOT kidding. THEE show of all time. Happy 10th anniversary to Black Sails! This fandom is small but mighty. May we continue to get our hearts and souls blasted to smithereens by this show for many years to come.

Ao3 abounds with magnificent Black Sails oneshots, so I decided to put together an anthology of my favorite Silverflint fics under 20k, which I split into two volumes. Included are works by @justlikeeddie, @vowel-in-thug, @balloonstand, @annevbonny, @francisthegreat, @nysscientia, and more! Thank you, thank you all, you brilliant wonderful people, for gracing the Internet with such amazing writing. When I read the fics in these anthologies I want to fling myself into the sun.

More on the design and binding process below the cut!

Vol. 1 Page Count: 270 (12 fics) Vol. 2 Page Count: 248 (11 fics) Body Font: Sabon Next LT (10.5 pt) Title Font: Goudy Old Style Other Fonts: IM Fell English, pirates pw

The typeset (which I did in Word) took a while, mainly because I'd never done it before. Manually adjusting the hyphenation line-by-line was especially tedious. After making these books, I abandoned Word in favor of InDesign, in large part because InDesign gives you way finer control over your justification and hyphenation settings.

Regarding my actual design choices, I'm happy with how the ocean motif on the title page turned out (it's not the same pattern as my endpapers, but they're complimentary) and I'm very fond of my divider dingbats, which are little swords! Goudy Old Style was a fun title font to use, since it's the font that Black Sails uses as its logo. The stories in Vol. 1 are divided into parts based on what Silver WAS at that point in the show (cook, quartermaster, or king), and Vol. 2 is split up into comedies, histories (AUs set in the canon universe) and tragedies - befitting Black Sails' Shakespearean ~vibes~.

I stuck to a flatback binding, as I wasn't feeling quite ambitious enough to try rounding and/or backing. I've learned that I ~Anakin Skywalker voice~ hate sanding, enjoy folding/sewing, and don't LIKE edge trimming but enjoy the results enough to make it worth it.

The real adventure was decorating the cover, which remained bare for months. After agonizing over Illustrator and experimenting unsuccessfully with HTV and lokta paper embossing, I ultimately turned to using stencil vinyl to paint on the designs. There was a bit of seepage under some of the stencils, but I was able to scrape off the excess with my Cricut weeding tool without damaging the coated surface of the bookcloth (probably Arrestox Blue Ribbon from Hollander's). Even though it was very time-consuming, I'm so happy with the end result of the stenciled paint job and I intend to stick with stencils for my foreseeable future binds.

Are there things I would change? Sure. It was humid out when I printed, so the pages have got a wave. There’s an extra two pages in Vol 2. that I have no idea how I missed, and I got a line of glue in the middle of one of my Vol. 2 endpapers. I’m pretty sure I didn’t case in quite right, since my endpapers pull away from the case at the spine. I think the inner margins are a bit too big, and despite going line-by-line there’s still some wacky justification spacing in the typeset. But man, am I proud of these books! It is so satisfying to learn a new skill - MANY new skills, if we’re being honest - and to make something both beautiful and practical. If I’m still binding in two years or so, I can see myself redoing the typeset in InDesign, cutting out the existing text block, and reusing the cases. I’m also already planning for Vol. 3, which will be Silverflint Modern AUs.

Thanks for reading!

For @b1uetrees with many thanks <3 (You know what for! :3) It helped. Thank you <3

Silverflint modern!AU where Silver has a mean parrot named Pirate (don't be fooled, they both love him). Can be read here [link] for anyone interested.

The last piece is Pirate stuck in Flint's shirt. There was reckoning [evil laughter]
