With Strange Aeons, a SilverFlint BigBang fic by runawaymarbles illustrated by marginson

Months after the disappearance and presumed death of Captain Flint and Long John Silver, Max smuggles Jack and Anne to Oglethorpe’s plantation. Thomas learns that not only do the three of them have a friend in common, but he is not the only one whose dreams are haunted by a strange city and a terrifying name.

Meanwhile, Flint and Silver try to escape an island trapped in time, impossibly built and impossibly old. Along the way they’re forced question reality, each other, and themselves.

And in his house in R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

What a wonderful cover, reminiscent of She and also Modern Times, scary stairways, wow

Pillowfort?

Have been reading posts that suggest that Pillowfort is going to be the new LJ and the new Tumblr, and that we has better move to it sooner rather than later. Could some kind soul please explain in words of one syllable (1) what and where Pillowfort is (2) how we subscribe (3) what about our fanfic? All my thanks.

@mcicioni-blog @of-beasts-and-fire, here’s the FAQ on pillowfort.io

(1) What is Pillowfort? 

Seems to be a site that combines livejournal and tumblr. So far it’s entirely fan-made and is being touted as the “next place” for fandom to go now that tumblr is starting to be intolerably buggy. 

(2) Where do we sign up?

https://mailchi.mp/20a35b1a80af/ai9p4sin4u is a link to get put on a waitlist. I’ve been on one for a few months and I worry I might have been missed due to my unusual email (I put in another signup with a gmail address). I know @elfbert is on pillowfort already so she can tell you what it’s like.

(3) What about our fanfic?

As far as I can tell, most people still think of Ao3 as by far the most trusted archive for fanfiction. I think a lot of people are advising others to save anything that was just posted on tumblr, because given the way the site has been acting up lately, there’s a good chance it might be lost to the ages.

You Can’t Shake The Devil Tree And Expect An Angel To Fall Out

queerwalrus:

Remember this post? Yeah, I needed it so much I wrote it.

Read it on AO3 H E R E

After a week aboard the Walrus, late at night, during a game of cards, Logan calls John Silver a bastard. It’s meant with affection, the teasing smile already plastered on his face before he opens his mouth, but John flinches nonetheless, draws back from the word as though he expects it to hit him.

No one on the Walrus thinks much of it. Every man aboard had one reason or another to have turned his back on civilisation. Apparently, they had tripped over Silver’s, and as far as they were concerned, that was that – John Silver told society to fuck off with emphatic cannon fire and larceny because he was, factually, a bastard. A simple explanation for a far more complex man.

John Silver is deeper than the sea, more vengeful than a ghost, more tangled than a gordian knot, and none of them know it yet.

Keep reading

Good story. I would recommend it to both Silverflint and Flinthamilton fans.
