Part 5/5

Title: Even Then, Some Vestige
Author: catwalksalone
Fandom: Black Sails
Pairing: Billy/Flint
Rating: G
Word count: 2200
Summary: Billy's hand shakes as he reaches out to take the cylinder, soft and pliable from the heat of James's body, and it's not because of the precious contents inside it. He doesn't open it. He doesn't need to.

"I can't take this."

"You can." And in that moment he looks and sounds exactly like the captain he's always been--will always be--to Billy.

Notes: This part takes place about three years after part 4 (eleven post-canon) and, like Part 4, collides into events referenced by the pirates in Treasure Island. Warning for major (canonical) character death.
