Summary
In the world we know, the unforgiving training of the Royal Naval lingers in James Flint. He treats his crew as expendable; they're not more important than the mission. Not more important than his all-consuming crusade to fulfill Thomas Hamilton's dream for a free Nassau. He has Miranda for safe harbor. All his love and devotion go to her.
In another world, when a beaten but not broken James McGraw is told that Thomas and Miranda are dead before he is even transported to the colonies, piracy is what saves him. His crew is his safe harbor. There is no one waiting for him at home in the interior. And when a man whose passion and rhetoric can ignite a war against the civilized world starts thinking about building pirate alliances that much sooner...the world changes.
Or, the sweeping Pirate versus Britain war AU that no one but James Flint asked for, full of angst, suffering, brotherhood, and of course, sea battles.
Eventually, James Flint will find peace. But not without taking back his freedom first.

Summary
James McGraw was in love with two remarkable people until his life was ripped away. Stripped of his naval rank and thrown into prison at the Earl of Ashbourne's orders, he faces conditions he never thought existed...and he must find a way to survive.
The harsh and unforgiving backstory for James McGraw in Freedom, Illuminated.
Mind the warnings. This is dark. There is torture, rape, and heavy angst. This is not the most graphic story on this site, but it is not for the faint of heart.

Summary
In one world, the unforgiving training of the Royal Naval lingers in James Flint. He treats his crew as expendable; they're not more important than the mission. Not more important than his all-consuming crusade to fulfill Thomas Hamilton's dream for a free Nassau. He has Miranda for safe harbor. All his love and devotion go to her.
In another world, when a beaten but not broken James McGraw is told that Thomas and Miranda are dead before he is even transported to the colonies, piracy is what saves him. His crew is his safe harbor. There is no one waiting for him at home in the interior. And when a man whose passion and rhetoric can ignite a war against the civilized world starts thinking about building pirate alliances that much sooner...the world changes.
Or, the sweeping Pirate versus Britain war AU that no one asked for, full of angst, suffering, brotherhood, and of course, sea battles.
Eventually, James Flint will also find peace. But not without taking back his freedom, first.

Summary
Alternate Season 5/6. Merlin is long dead, Camelot destroyed. Emma is the Dark One, without an easy answer. Rumplestiltskin becomes the Sorcerer, and an age-old war against darkness revives in Storybrooke, in which the fate of all the realms will be decided forever—and the final battle begins.
A Rumbelle-centric ensemble story that replaces the Camelot, Underworld, and season 6 arcs, dealing with issues the show never addresses and focusing on character development as much as epic battles. If you’re looking for a twisty story that doesn’t provide easy answers, this is the AU for you.
Including an even more twisted family tree than canon can bring you.
