"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.All Rights Reserved

Thistle in the Sky | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest. Complete. Marked mature for violence and other dark themes. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

Catalyst [Unedited, rough] by xXRainbow_OreosXx

"God my emotions were on a fucking roller coaster today. If I'm not nervous, I'm scared, if I'm not scared, I'm disgusted and if I'm not disgusted, I'm in fucking love." ~~~ In a world of two different types of people: the people of the Clans and the powerless -who know nothing about the Clans- a lot can happen. A group of runaways are rebelling together. They don't want control over the Clans, just restrictions. Rules that limit what a person can do with their power. What happens when love grips onto Multi? There will be betrayal, there will be tears, but most importantly there will be drama. Maybe, a little bit of action as well. Add a dark past to the mix and you have Catalyst. *This is my first original story, I am not, in any way professional. If you don't like the way it's written give me tips on how to fix it. But please don't hate. Anyways, if you chose to read this you will make me one of the happiest people alive.* This story is NOT edited. ~xXRainbow_OreosXx~

Home for the Few - The Awakening of the Silenced Ⅰ by LiricaMalena

Raised to be mere objects, silent and obedient; condemned to live in a realm of terror where no daughter is safe. The story was forgotten by all those who chose to close their eyes to injustices, while others had their freedom and every one of their dreams stolen. Their voices were taken away, but they would not stay silent. They would dedicate every last day of their lives to restore justice and avenge those who were left behind. A group of pirates, exiled from society, tries to uncover the dark secret hidden within the kingdom... But the people are blindfolded and refuse to see the truth, while they kneel and pray in the name of love and forgiveness. There is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve justice and find the missing girls and women. Determined to turn the kingdom upside down if necessary, she finds an ally in an unexpected place, while battling the ghosts of the past and fears of the future. The beginning of a fight for freedom, where every small action counts. -First volume of the trilogy: The Awakening of the Silenced. (COPYING OR PLAGIARIZING ANY PART OF THE STORY OR ANY ASPECT OF IT IS PROHIBITED. THIS STORY BELONGS 100% TO ME AND MY IMAGINATION.) - Update every Wednesday at 07:30 pm (spain)

Tempest by BoozyBookworm

An unlikely stow-away is caught stealing food from the galley of one notoriously known Captain Sera Wright. When the crew begins debating the fate of the young woman, will the captain go along with it? Or step in and make a decision that will change their lives forever? *Belle French from Once Upon a Time is a main contender in this work. However, it is my take on her character, and she is not the Belle from Storybrooke. She is from the Wish Realm (just go with it). This is a fanfiction based around situations and characters from the show Once Upon a Time. I do not own anything that comes from the show. Sera Wright is my character, and NO ONE has my permission to use her, or her name. **This is a collection of scenes involving two characters, Belle and an Orginal Character of my creation. Sera is mine. Steal her and I will hunt you down. Sera's crew of misfits are also mine. Steal them, and Todd will keelhaul your sorry self. ***This is a companion piece to accompany a roleplay I write with a friend. Therefore elements have been changed. It was written for fun. If you don't like same-sex couples, original characters, or non-canon events, then take a hike, because I can just about guarantee you won't like this. ****This story will contain graphic depictions of a sexual nature as well as the following: Violence, gore, medical practices and childbirth. There will be a warning at the top of each chapter that contains these, as not all of them will. As always, I want to thank anyone and everyone for reading, voting and commenting. The dedication of my readers is astounding and a true blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Wild Watchtower: Shield & Claw Book One by ALMcGurk

Whoever Fiáin was born to be died along with her twin brother. She died when a strange white wolf came into their territory and murdered her brother in front of her. All her life, Fiáin had lived with the guilt of having hidden rather than trying to defend her twin, and it didn't matter to her that she had only been a cub herself, or that the effort would've been futile. In her eyes, her brother's loss was her fault. But just as painful as that guilt was the fear that accompanied it; a fear so relentless that she'd never taken her place in her pack, and had settled into a position only one rung above omega. But her family think she's failing to step up, and her father believes that if he just pushes her hard enough, her inner wolf will push back. Cróga, on the other hand, had always known his place. He'd grieved for his younger brother too, but as his father's heir and the subject of an elven oracle's dire prophecy, he couldn't let fear hold him back. Whatever dreams or desires he might have had didn't matter, because one day he would be an alpha male, and a commander of both the Tírgarda and a naval fleet, duty-bound to guard the coast of Tírlaochra from invading forces. His own guilt weighed heavily on him too, because the oracle had forewarned that he could only take his place once his father lost his life, and Cróga wasn't ready to face that loss, or to face his own self-doubt. When the white wolf reappears, Fiáin isn't prepared for her father's decision to send her away, to be the mate of a wolf she barely knows. She's even less prepared for a journey in the company of Styrkr, a male from across the sea who wants to travel Tírlaochra before taking more responsibility in his own pack. None of that matters for long, though, because when the black ships appear from the fog that blankets the sea, war returns to a land that's known peace for centuries, and both Fiáin and Cróga will need to find their places, for the good of everyone.

True Love's Seventh Kiss by NathanielWilhelm

True love's first kiss has never been so complicated nor had such high stakes. The Seven most powerful Gods of this wicked world somehow managed to piss off a spectating trickster god trapped there. His fury eventually boiled over and he razed the world with his power. They pleaded for mercy and gambled everything on a game, a very strange game. They would turn back time and choose 7 virtuous maidens (As best they could) these 7 Virgin "Maidens"(villainesses) would then have to win the heart of one Gentleman selected by the Trickster God(the former spectator) and share true love's first kiss in order to prevent the end of the world(Pissing off the spectator god again). With Everything on the line, Marion Cliffgard must put his faith in the shadiest (Probably Evil) Trickster in this otherworld he has been transported to. He must find a way to save his family one by one through sickness and in health. And somehow overcome his pre-ordained tragic fate at the hands of those Villainesses who are now trying to romance him. In a world without heroes Marion and his Patron God: Cavalier Corsair, will have a long list of Karma to deal out on the world and the villains in it. Not by being the heroes but by being better villains. Airships, Dragons, magic, magic mushrooms, love, tension, tragedy, Karmic justice, and comedic revelry. This is one high stakes fantasy game show you won't want to miss an episode of.

Lea's Liberation by Talia_Rhea

Paladin Series 8: War creates rifts between people. Between friends. Between families. In the struggle between two great nations, the hardest task can be simply finding a way to live with each other and mend those rifts. Lea Severine, captured and tortured, has sworn herself to the protection of her kingdom and its people. But that doesn't mean she isn't still a woman with a woman's desires and she has her eyes set on a man that, by all rights, should be her mortal enemy. However, her when her love can't be returned fully, how can she choose between him and her vows? Emilien Cesaire, captured and tortured, has sworn himself to the protection of his kingdom and its people. Even if they turn their back on him. His vows to the crown are binding. When he's offered the love of a woman that both excites and worries him, how can he accept it knowing that to do so would be to be the traitor everyone brands him as? Secrets are exposed, enemies are redeemed, and the tides begin to turn in a war that threatens to rip them apart, even as it brought them together.

Masters of the Sky by axgirl13

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-
