Summary
This is how he does it, Charles realises abruptly. Flint finds the thing that other men crave most and then he tells them they can have it. Tells them how to have it, laying out a path to their desires that passes squarely through his hands. Flint might be a liar, but Charles no longer sees him as some grasping grifter pulling off a scam. Flint is bigger than that, and far more dangerous. He’s a self-proclaimed prophet, foretelling doom and judgement, promising salvation and redemption to anyone who follows him. And the worst part, the best part, the part that holds the power, is that Flint himself actually believes he can deliver it.
What really frightens Charles is that for once in his life, he doesn’t want to prove Flint wrong.
A.K.A. Everyone talks about how Silver helped create the myth of Flint in the aftermath of Charlestown. And maybe he did - but Charles Vane got there first.

Summary
The worst part is, James is so fucking gracious about it all. He never pressures Thomas, always waits for him to ask. And when he does, James always looks so happy. Like all the greatest pirate in the New World could wish for is the chance to play barber to an invalid. Again.

Summary
Charles knows he’s being paranoid, but a good captain is in tune with the needs of his crew, even the four-legged members. And the lack of an angry ginger furball in their midst is putting him distinctly ill-at-ease.

Summary
“We can’t go after her.”
“Fuck you,” he snarls, because fuck James Flint. Fuck him for suggesting he’d go chasing after Eleanor. Fuck him for thinking Charles would want to, after everything she did to him.
Fuck him for being right.

Summary

Enter Charles Vane, who's definitely doing this for Nassau and not for any other red-haired reasons.

Summary
“The loneliest moment in someone's life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly” - F. Scott Fitzgerald.
“You don’t what? Cry?” Clint asked.
This felt like a test. Perhaps they were trying to see how mentally unstable their Captain was. Luckily, he could, in full honesty, reassure them that he was not weak. He had a strong lock on his emotions and hadn’t even cried once since he unfroze. He could operate at full capacity in this century despite not knowing what a ‘Rom-Com’ is.
“Not even once.”
Steve missed the furrowed brows, and concerned looks shot around the room. He tried his best to isolate himself in the Avengers Tower. If anyone could expose his vulnerability, it was this team. S.H.I.E.L.D. had been less of a threat because Fury was more than willing to believe whatever Steve told him as long as he got results. This team of super spies, geniuses, and gods? They had no reason to sit back and allow an incompetent and weak man to lead them. It was necessary to avoid allowing them to see the cracks in his armor, or they may bench him. If Steve got benched, there was nothing left for him in this century.

Summary
"Do you want me to eat you?"
“No, but—” Steve broke off his instinctive response. All his life, he’d believed in doing what was right… he was not about to stop now. Wincing at the prickling pain in his feet, he straightened up to his full height. “Yes. If it means you’ll leave this place.”
"But you don’t look very filling." The tip of the dragon’s tail twitched. "I don’t suppose you’re a virgin?" he asked hopefully. "I’ve heard they taste better."
Steve gritted his teeth and refused to answer. The dragon could very well find that out for himself. He stared at the dragon. The dragon stared back. Then the dragon got up, turned around, and went back into his cave.
"Well? Come on, tribute."
or, how Steve ends up working for a dragon with a very odd sense of humor

Summary
“ Fuck,” he proclaims out loud.
A pigeon on the sidewalk across the street flutters away.
Another voice cuts through the cold. “You okay?”
Bucky looks up to see a silhouette on the fire escape two floors above him. Clearly, he had been swearing louder than he intended to.
The figure is clearly male, and built like a fucking brick house, but the light behind him makes any other features vague and indistinguishable.
“Uh, yeah,” Bucky says dumbly. “I just- I forgot my keys.”
“I’ll let you in.”
The silhouette disappears from view.
Bucky steps forward to retrieve his groceries from the steps of the building, and has just picked up the last can of cat food when the door opens. He looks up to meet the man who saved him from hypothermia.
And what a man it is.
