Half a Moon Day 8: Fic Recs: Miranda Barlow (Black Sails)

[fhionnuisce]

I love Miranda Barlow, I love every aspect of her character, and I have been gifted with some lovely Miranda Barlow-focused and POV fic this year, so here's a current-focused Miranda Barlow-focused rec post.

What I love about the entire thing with Miranda is that her entire family arrangement is queer in every way possible (to me of course), and just... yeah. She is a badass who was ahead of her time.

Some AUs, because reasons.

Thanks for posting these -- the first story, in particular, is exactly what I needed to happen.

Enviropony is amazing. I have a lot of feelings about that fic, as it was my first time doing AU exchange and that was written as my gift. <3 <3 <3

Honestly I think that story really nails it. Probably why I put it first. I've tried my best with my own fic but. I think that that was an AU percolating for some time and so it just came out...perfect. :D
