Blacktide Stories

An anthology of poems written from over three years back up until this present moment.

The son of a legend. The key to a curse. The sea remembers. Ten years after the infamous Edward Vance vanished beneath the waves with a stolen relic and a ship full of secrets, his son Thomas lives quietly in the shadows of Nassau's docks-building ships, burying bloodlines, and pretending the sea doesn't whisper his name. But when an assassin comes calling and a stranger saves him with a pistol and a smile, Thomas is dragged into a storm of cursed relics, hunted names, and the legacy of a father who might not be as dead as the sea claimed. Now pursued by Blackbeard, shadowed by the Crown, and thrown in with a pistol-tongued best friend, a secretive navigator, and a half-mad pirate captain, Thomas must cross the Devil's Spine to the island where it all began-and face what his father died to contain. Because the Leviathan's Heart is waking. And blood remembers blood.

A story of love, survival, and mystery No smut. No objectifying women. Stories that hold a place in your heart Reader discretion advised: psychological tension & mild violence. "Do you ever feel like the world is watching us?" Y/N asked softly, clutching Ian. "Only because it is," Taehyung replied, eyes scanning the shadows. "But we'll face it. Together." On an island full of secrets, myths that breathe, and shadows that hide more than they reveal, a family must survive what others could not even imagine. Love will be tested, fear will stalk, and the tide... the tide will show who truly holds the strength to protect what matters. This is a story without smut, without objectifying anyone-a story that lives in the heart, in the quiet moments, and in the courage that rises when the world feels darkest. Dive into a world of shadows, courage, and family bonds.✨
