The Mechanician's Apprentice by aweeadventure

Smuggled from an orphanage under the cover of darkness, a young boy is thrown into a world of engineering and intrigue where airships soar in the skies and strange mechanical men lurk in the shadows. Paying homage to likes of Robert Louis Stevenson and Philip Pullman, this is steampunk for people that don't do steampunk.

Celia de Visher worked her whole life for her high position in the biggest criminal cartel in the Raised Cities Confederation. But she knows that if she wants to survive in the slowly degrading world where industrialisation led to the flood that wiped most of the known land cities, she needs to aim higher. To the skies. She steals one of the few remaining skyships and heads toward the Thundering Massive - a mountain range that walls off the known territory from uncharted lands of the New World. Unfortunately, the enraged cartel boss will not let her slip away so easily. The only chance for success and achieving her explorer dreams might be siding with the current government. But why would they aid a notorious pirate? Amazing cover made by @-DeeIsDead-

Brass Skies Vol. 1: The Battle of Chesapeake by JPKent80

"Declaring our Independence From the British One Airship at a Time." The colonies tried to protest once. They were brutally and ruthlessly crushed by the Red Coats. Now, no one thinks of rebelling. Not when the British have forts all throughout the colonies. Not when the British navy controls the skies, their airships looking down over the entire world like hawks poised to strike. Not when the price isn't just death, but the deaths of potentially everyone you love. But in a world ruled by fear and power hope comes from the unlikeliest of sources. There are always those that are pushed to far, who have lost a little too much, or who simply need the freedom of the skies. Those are the pirates; a collection of rebels, thrill-seekers, victims, and criminals whose motives are as diverse as their personalities but who are all headed towards a single flashpoint that will change everything. These are some of their stories.

When Liam Bromswell sneaks aboard a pirate airship to prove a point, he thinks he's in for an adventure of a lifetime. But life sailing through an open sky turns out to be much harder than he ever imagined, and he'll have to survive a boisterous captain, a cold-hearted quarter master, and a wild array of other adventures before he can make it home again. In this tale of fantastical journey, one boy will discover the art of being a slightly better cabin boy, as well as what it means to find one's family... ***Currently editing*** Featured on the Adventure reading list, Voyages and Sea Epics. Winner of the Amby Awards Punk Stories genre NOTE; This book's gorgeous cover was made by @Monelo_Aurum ! Make sure to go check out their profile!

When Finn wakes up on a pirate ship with no memory, the last thing he expects is to get involved with the dangerous and alluring Captain North. ***** Stuck on a notorious pirate ship with no memories and an injured foot, Finn is as sure of his future as he is his past. Fate has set him in the path of the lawless Imo Gen crew. Finn can't remember how he got there or why, but what he does know is that Captain North saved his life, and he might just be the most handsome man he's ever met. Things get even more dangerous when he discovers that he has a very expensive bounty placed for his capture-and he's not the only one who knows about it. Captain North's brother is looking for Finn with orders from the nobility, but as far as Captain North is concerned, Finn is his, and no one, not even his brother, can take that from him.

A sky pirate's last flight by TrevorStephanson

Nathaniel has been a pirate for half his life, sailing the clouds on airships powered by steam and magic. He has grown tired of the danger and hardship and wants to start a new life free of his past, perhaps with a woman by his side. This is a rewrite of my earlier short story "A pirate's last flight." I decided to rewrite it for a couple reasons. First to refine it and polish it a bit more. Second, and more importantly, to put it in the low fantasy/steampunk inspired world I'm currently writing other stories in.

Yaaargh me hearties! This here be PiratePunk an' the crew of the good ship @Ooorah be a terrorising the high seas with more booty than ye can shake ye're rum at! Short stories, articles and poems abound!

A sea of sky, a world of broken islands and shattered history, and flying ships ride the winds. Clarissa, a girl with no last name and no claim to anything beneath the endless blue, is sent to accompany a mysterious cargo aboard a ship of scoundrels. Flying beneath the lift bag of the Ravens' Child, accompanying the band of misfits and rogues that crew her, Clarissa begins to learn that the most profound mystery of her voyage is the one she takes with her. My NaNoWriMo 2019 project, an odd skypunk tale and something a little different from anything I've ever come across, like any good worldbuilding tale should be. If you happen to take a chance, let me know what you think.
