Cool. Is that still correct? I can rec you some fic, like my friend did with me, since it's hard to go looking for fic (and there is barely anything from season 2 to find back when it aired).
I didn't trust the show to give us what we saw in XIII - why would I?
That's the rub, isn't it? We've been conditioned to expect disappointment, and lack of representation. Why would we ever think this show was different? (It is so awesome, the feeling of getting what we want for once. Just once. (And then all the time! Muahaha!))
I don't usually rewatch things, but the whole first half of the second season is so amazing, I find myself rewatching scenes anyway. I think I watched s1 in too low a quality, and the incredible acting skill of Toby Stephens only got to sink in with s2. I'm still so impressed by him.
The only fic rec I have off the top of my head that will not spoil you for anything is my friend's Thomas/James/Miranda canon divergence fic: "Start Anew": http://archiveofourown.org/works/12336414 . But it has period-typical medical torture and ptsd, so if that bothers you, it may not be for you after all.
Her other Black Sails fic is also good, and pure pwp, definitely less triggering. *g*
