Privateer Stories

"You can't believe a letter of marque from a rebellious colony will be considered legal. You will be no better than a pirate." Miles Dunn has sailed the seas his entire life it seems. The moment he was old enough he learned the operations on his father's fishing ship, and as a youth he joined his father on a privateer that harassed French trade. Now he commands his own whaling vessel out of Nantucket and lives a comfortable life in Dunnstown, a town he and his family have built through the spoils of generations of smuggling and piracy. Miles is an honest man, though, and has no desire to engage in the smuggling so many on the coast are increasingly involved in as bitterness grows over taxes and British laws made so far away from the American lives they involve. That changes for Miles with the outbreak of war between England and the colonies. Miles is faced with a choice to relocate to England with his employer, or to become unemployed in the midst of a war that might soon end, or that might drag on for years. The timely meeting with a merchant whose family's wealth has been tied to the smugglers and pirates of Miles's own family presents Miles with a third option. It is an option that, once accepted, changes everything for Miles. It renders him a traitor to his king and the British navy's most wanted criminal. It sends him on his way to New York to locate an old friend in the service of the Royal Navy, and to incite a mutiny on a British ship of war. BOOK SPECIFIC CONTENT WARNINGS: mentions of whaling (no actual whaling scenes), mentions of sexual assault (no actual assault), one scene of torture (whipping - navy punishment)

Nikolai x oc this will not be following the exact story. Certain events will happen but i wont be doing exact wording and this is my character. Prologue will be telling you everything you need to know so before the first chapter about my character hopefully it's enough so you understand her feeling and her reactions. this is a season 2 story. the prologue shortens sarahs experience in season one.

Audhilda Helvig is a stranger in every sense. Fjerdan by birth, Grisha by power, a fighter shaped by war yet softened by something she cannot name. In Ravka, where magic is feared and loyalty bleeds red, she is an enigma-too foreign to be trusted, too powerful to be ignored. When she proposes a unit that unites both Grisha and ot'kazat'sya, it sends ripples through palace walls and into the heart of a fragile court. Some call her reckless. Others call her dangerous. The king calls her brave. But none truly see her-what she's survived, what she's risking, or what secrets she carries beneath the scars. In halls laced with whispers and alliances sharp as knives, Audhilda must navigate a kingdom at war with itself, where even small acts of unity are seen as treason, and trust is a currency too easily spent. Eyes follow her. Power stirs. And somewhere between duty and defiance, between firelight glances and unspoken truths, something begins to kindle-a hope, perhaps. Or something far more perilous. She never wanted a crown. Only a place to stand. And maybe... someone willing to stand beside her. Warnings: Non-canon. No spoilers of King of Scars or Rule of Wolves. Does not follow the official timeline of the books. The story is set after the end of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, when Ravka is rebuilding itself after the war. The story may contain things that do not align with the later books.

When Alfred gets the strange idea to visit England during his ruthless, pirating days-excuse me-Privateering days, Arthur grants his wish but unfortunately forgets a few very important details to tell Alfred about this trip which in turn probably will get our poor main character killed. Follow America as he try time and time again to escape England's clutches upon his soul and as the modern Arthur struggle to bring him back to the present because, believe it or not, time passes the same in the past and now, so the longer Alfred stays, the more World Meetings and Conferences he'd miss, and the more that happens there'd be a very strong chance of war breaking out and basically start WWIII. (Whao, long sentence) Oh well, who cares about stupid politics though? Of course romance will be a big, very big, part of this interesting Fanfiction so Bon Appetite, I guess! :D And yes, this is a UKUS story (Which will have a lot of USUK moments) and now it'll also feature some nice moments of Rusame, even if it's brief and maybe onesided....and if you really like USUK, I hope this fanfiction can open up your mind and inspire you to...um...do something. :) -Erika Evangeline ♚
