Official Disclaimer: All Black Sails characters and plots belong to Starz, and Michael Bay, I do not hold stock either the company or the man. Charles Vane, Eleanor Guthrie, and any other character featured are NOT mine. The title comes from the Of Mice and Men song Silhouettes and I don't own that either.
Quick Author's Note: I wanted to give a wholehearted shout out to RebelGeneral (realmofvane on Tumblr). Withouther I don't think that this piece would have ever been written. Thank you for your support.
Eleanor Guthrie had never been seasick in her entire life.
It was a fact that she insisted on exploiting whenever it suited her, beginning at sixteen when she marched herself aboard the Speaker after the take that they reported in no way resembled the take in which Mister Scott's lead had promised. With what seemed like the entirety of the docks in attendance – including that of the newly appointed Captain Vane and the Ranger's crew – Eleanor Guthrie stood toe to toe with Captain Bowen and informed him that in absence of her father, Nassau was her fucking island, and anyone not willing to do their part in seeing it prosperous could take their fucking ship and never return.
Which was why four weeks after being traded to Captain Hume for the thanks of the Royal Navy and a pardon good King George, with another week and a half at least left until she reached London, when her stomach flipped and not even her iron will could keep her from heaving the contents of what meager food she allowed herself from spilling over the side of the Scarborough, Eleanor realized that something was very very wrong.
