The Dark Horizon: 

AU. The Caribbean, 1715: Royal Navy Lieutenant Killian Jones and his brother, Captain Liam Jones, have just arrived to help pacify the notorious “pirate’s republic” of New Providence. But they have dangerous allies, deadly enemies, and no idea what they’re getting into when they agree to hunt the pirate ship Blackbird and the mysterious Captain Swan. (OUAT/Black Sails.) 

I loved her. He didn’t want to reach the conclusion, but it was the only one. It was right there in bloody
front of me, and I missed it. Not in its fullest sense, given
how brief and complicated their acquaintance had been, not enough time to grow
and blossom, but nothing else possibly fit. It wasn’t liking her; he had liked people
before. He knew what that felt like. It wasn’t admiring her, because he likewise had
admired people before. Even if it turned out to be a lie. It wasn’t even lusting after her, because if lust was
all it was, he would have taken what she offered the first time she offered it,
and not even cared if she went on her way after. As difficult and as painful
and as irrational as it seemed, the only word that described its complexities
and its depths and its contradictions, its utter, world-changing grip on him,
was that. Love. And I lost her.

Happy birthday @qqueenofhades  I don’t think I can describe you as a ray of sunshine per se, but you’ve certainly have made my life brighter! Thank you for all the messages, the fics, the flail and the overall kindness you’ve brought into my life. I wish you the best day for today 🙂
