Sailing Stories

*Broad Reach* is a lyrical contemporary romance set in the remote South African harbour village of Dassie Bay. After a painful breakup, Emma Hartley, a talented ghostwriter who has spent a decade helping others tell their stories, retreats to the coastal village seeking solitude and the courage to write a novel under her own name. Settling into a quiet routine at Four Winds, a cottage overlooking the marina, she struggles with a manuscript that feels emotionally hollow, reflecting her own guarded nature. Her attention is drawn to *Serenity*, a striking blue-hulled yacht, and eventually to its owner, Joshua Crane, a seasoned sailor who has returned to Dassie Bay to refit the vessel before embarking on a new life at sea. Joshua hopes to leave behind a complicated past that includes morally questionable work on ocean passages and embrace a simpler future. When Emma and Joshua meet, an easy friendship develops into a deep and transformative romance built on shared conversations, mutual respect, and a growing sense of belonging. As their relationship flourishes, Emma's writing comes alive, and for the first time she creates work infused with genuine feeling. However, their newfound happiness is tested when Joshua agrees to help an old friend escape dangerous debts on a long voyage across the Atlantic. Though honest about his decision, Joshua's choice reawakens Emma's fears of betrayal and abandonment, leading to a painful separation. While Joshua is at sea, the two begin a heartfelt correspondence that allows them to confront their vulnerabilities and communicate with a sincerity they had previously avoided. Through distance, growth, and self-discovery, they learn that love requires trust, courage, and choice. Ultimately, 'Broad Reach' is a story about second chances, creative awakening, and finding home not in a place, but in another person.

Annalise and her best friend Mia are staying at the Reynolds family cottage. As the summer goes on, she develops feelings for her best friend's brother. She fights her way through sailing lessons because she could never act on those feelings, right?

It would've easier if that was all they were, but their own hearts begin to betray them, a love begins to grow. But love can't be allowed in war, not when fate puts them at the receiving end of each other's blade, yet has our hearts ever listened to any intent? Has fate ever been easy to accept? The princess has always known the continuous battle, and she has never questioned it. But when she is taken by the Prince of the kingdom she has been at war against, he gives her a fragile hope. A hope that maybe this war doesn't have to be endless, that this curse could be broken. On a journey to break a curse, to save their kingdoms, the princess is not prepared to deal with this prince who seems to know her better than anyone else. A prince that is far more charming, caring than she could have ever imagined. I will be posting this on Royal Road as well.

"And don't you dare do the same thing again," he said over his shoulder. "Because next time I'll drown you myself." The door slammed shut behind him. I was left on the deck with Jungkook, the wet boards, and the ocean still moving as if from the beast's breath. Jungkook looked at me slowly. He raised an eyebrow. "Yeah," he muttered. "He kind of... likes you." What would you do if you'd ended up being kidnapped by pirates just moments after meeting the prince you were destined to marry? The story full of pirates, seas and secrets that are eager to be revealed. A BTS fanfiction. The characters DOES NOT resemble real people. I DO NOT OWN any of the BTS members but the OCs are all mine. The story will consist of 50 chapters. I hope you'll enjoy it! I made a spotify playlist with the story's mood so go check it if you'd like! It's called Deadly Curse ✨️ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6P6QdnsvdiqlRV4tHZLoSv?si=5sOzjBe1RMaBP1ymtiUuew&pt=f1a07b6726a2371628f800a80b76b585&pi=zIe3TZx-RROfp

Charlotte is a 16 year old girl and goes on a sailing trip to the Netherlands. That's when she meets the 19 year old sailor Matilda. What happens on the boat, stays on the boat, right? ❗️Please keep in mind that their age gap is legal in Germany (where they're from) and the Netherlands (where the story takes place). If you have an uncomfortable feeling about their age gap I encourage you not to read the story and would welcome it if you don't spread any negativity. Please keep in mind this story is purely fictional. English is not my first language, so I apologise for any mistakes made and would welcome any corrections or tips.

This is a crossover story between One Piece and Monster High, mainly centered in the One Piece universe. It's a crazy mash up, I know-but I couldn't let this idea just fade from my creative writing headspace. This is how the story begins. After being separated from his crew and chased by the Marines, Luffy ended up on a sandy island where he thought he was alone-but not for long as he heard the voices of the Marine soldiers in the distance. He runs through the entrance of a pyramid in hopes to lay low and focus on only finding his crew, but what Luffy didn't know is that the Marines weren't only after him, they were after Cleo De Nile as well. Since she's an undead Egyptian princess they want to capture her for what she's worth and lock her away her for her riches. As Luffy ran, Cleo was running as well which caused them to clash into each other. She didn't know who he was and Luffy wasn't there to hurt her. He helped her up asking if she was okay, but before she could answer the sound of the Marines were close by. Luffy grabbed her hand and ran down another long hall with multiple turns, deeper into the pyramid. Luckily, they were able to hide as a Marines unknowingly passed the two. Now, it's just them-safe, for now.

The Edwardian, captained by its unshakeable namesake, had embarked on many an adventure, and its name had gained fame enough to ring with some familiarity even as far as the small hamlet of Atherdee. Unbeknownst to the eclectic crew, the key to bridging the gap between recognizable and legendary status spent her nights tending to the town's humble inn. Coaxed from comfort by a simple pocket watch and bolstered by the courage of her brother at her side, Eabha finds herself gravitating towards the mystical call of the great ship, fortuitously joining the rambunctious brotherhood on board. In so doing, she discovers that the stories of bravery, magic, family, and love not only exist in tales of the world beyond, but, in fact, were now embodied by those around her and, ultimately, within her. When the ruthless forces of darkness face the unrelenting strength of The Edwardian battalion and their new, unassuming hero, every skill will be tested and terrible sacrifices will be made in the desperate hope that what they have built together will prove powerful enough to overcome the looming shadows threatening their survival and the freedom of their beloved country.

Adam awoke on a cold sweat and sat up with a jolt in his bed. His heart going at 100BPM. Of course, he knew that, after checking the Fitbit he used to keep track of his sleep patterns. It was midnight. He brushed his fingers through his hair anxiously, staring into the darkness of his bedroom, paranoid of seeing the shadows his brain tormented him with when he was frightened. He breathed in fast short breaths, causing his heart to continue pounding at fast rates. It was the reoccurring dream of him killing a girl he didn't know, and never recalled seeing. In his dream, she was his girlfriend, at least that's what it looked like. They kissed, he suddenly got mad about something random, and he took her life. The dream took so much energy from him, he awoke with a start every night he had it, which this was now the 5th night in a row.

Rayne made herself a part of her crew and began her journey around the world. Although Rayne simply thought this would be another mere game, it had come to her attention that Leona's past lover, Catherine Ravenstar, had a plan to take control of the entire world of Agrothia with all four of the Gods' talismans. Now, Rayne and the crew must gather Leona's past allies and beat Catherine to the last talisman on Duhelia's Scorn before the whole world goes to ruin.

Nicolas soon meets several other people who are willing to fight against the one called "The Hunter," a man who would like nothing more than to see the country of Dulta ridden of Magic.

I haven't separated the chapters, since the story isn't particularly long. The story isn't very good, and one of my current WIP's is a remake so if you ever plan to read that and don't want spoilers, I would avoid this book.
