FANFIC: to build and to endure (Black Sails)
A drabble I wrote for
greetingsfrommaars during Snowflake Challenge 2025.
-
Max was a builder. A web of lies, a house of cards, a castle of sand. Everyone starts somewhere, from hay to twigs to brick, chasing after the safety of locked doors and solid stone.
Hiding within a fortress will make you feel invincible, and invincibility is an illusion, a delusion; if the wind blows the wrong way, it comes tumbling down.
Yet it can be a shared delusion. True power needs a sturdy base, but if it gets taken away, you can stand upright for long enough to brave the rain by reputation alone.
And that, Max could craft.
