Thank you for the solidarity & empathy! BRAINS, man. Why are they like this?? So unhelpful.
The Max & Jack metamours fic is the least clearly-formed in my mind, but ever since that conversation about metamours a while back I've wanted to write something about them. I feel like the problem with ficcing Black Sails is that so many of the relationships are sketched at a perfect level of development already, and I have nothing to add. Early on that's true of Max & Jack's relationship too... but I feel like as time goes on, once they get past their initial distrustful pissing-matches, there's more of an opening for exploring how they relate to one another. What is the space they settle into, or navigate more deeply into? Are there ways in which they relate to one another that they can't relate to Anne, or traits the two of them share that she doesn't? I think there are some deeps there into which one could dive.
