“The captain?” Liam cocked a skeptical eyebrow. “And which of the infamous fiends commands this one? Vane? Flint? Henry Avery back from the dead with a crew of jolly skeletons?”

“None of those.” Regina was clearly enjoying the reveal. “Not one you’re likely to have heard of – yet. But as I said. You will, for any number of excellent reasons, want to make quite sure not to underestimate Captain Swan.”  
–The Dark Horizon by @qqueenofhades

As some of the CSSB crew will know, this one’s been a long time coming. It’s been a big experiment of colour and lighting outside my comfort zone and I’m finally ready to let it go.

Going into The Dark Horizon I was a little weary of it’s crossover genre, but I trusted Hillary to pull it off so I decided to first go watch some Black Sails and then dive in.

I’m so glad I did because this fic fucking delivered. The political threads were perfectly woven to slowly unravel until from the chaos came clarity with all the historical tid bits and fantastical world building and action thrown in. And of course an amazing journey for the good ship Captain Swan.

And I swear to you, everyone who reads this can’t help but come out with a great love for Black Sam Bellamy.

It’s all one hell of a storm to ride through.

Also check out it’s sequel The Rose and Thorn which I’ve fallen behind on due to time but is turning out to be a great adventure of it’s own.

wow this is just amazing!!!!
