For Henry Riley and the crew of the Chimera, privateering is just a means to an end. For Henry, it's a way to return home. Banished from Charlestowne, South Carolina by the British Governor, Henry's only hope to return to his family and the woman he loves is by pressing his ship into the service of the Continental Navy in exchange for a full pardon upon the defeat of the British. But with victory all but certain, can he survive the perils of the high seas as he and the ragtag Continental Navy fight the Legendary British Navy?

Pirate's Life For Me.... by jplupine
37 parts Complete Mature
[18+; Use an age indicator in YOUR BIO to confirm you're 18+ if you want to follow/comment or you'll be blocked for safety purposes] Deana Blake, a child raised without the affections of her father and the knowledge that her mother ran away with a pirate only to be hung like one soon after. Fighting to stay alive as her father sailed on a merchant ship, Deana learned many skills to get food or money even if it was pick-pocketing. She kept an old rum bottle to store what she could save and vowed to become the best sailor in the ocean to prove to her father and everyone else that her gender wasn't what was holding her back. Deana Blake, a woman serving as a cook aboard the ship Petrel, is not really getting anywhere closer to her dreams of being a well-known captain. Her skills in the kitchen are extraordinary, but her skills with a knife were just as known to anyone who dared enter her galley. She bribed her way onto the boat while manipulating the Captain to keep her aboard. Deana wouldn't do anything she didn't have to, and she wanted to earn the right to be a captain rather than take it, so that was how she spent years cooking for an ever-changing crew on the Petrel until the ship was attacked and sent to her watery grave. Deana Blake, a woman to be feared. Date Published: Nov 28, 2017 ✨~Ranks~✨ #1 BlackSails- 11/20/2021 #1 CharlesVane- 8/5/2023 #1 Piracy- 3/4/2024 #12 CanonxOC- 11/22/2021 #148 Pirates- 11/20/2021

Jack Book Two in the Trilogy: Murder on the High Seas by gdorion
40 parts Complete
Jack: Book 2 is a rollicking high-seas adventure. Schoolmaster Jerome Whittemore - a former 'preacher' on slave ships - quits teaching after a devastating classroom humiliation at the hands of Jack and Jeremy, two fun-loving, non-conforming students. Whittemore quits teaching and returns to his former ship - the Helena - on what may be a suicide mission. Ignorant of Whittemore's plan to incite rebellion with his newfound abolitionist teachings - Jack and Jeremy sign to the same ship. Jack and his teacher had hated one another but their antagonistic relationship changes after Jack is finally triumphant in book one. Jack decides to follow him to sea while recruiting his reluctant best friend, Jeremy, who invariably is skeptical of Jack's adventure plans. Both develop a new respect for Whittemore and sign for the same sea voyage - unaware that the Helena is a 'devil slave ship'. Whittemore is appalled to see them on deck that first night after the ship is beyond the northern-flowing Gulf Stream. The self-proclaimed 'preacher of the deep' for 'the Church of the Holy Waters', Whittemore intends to incite rebellion in his first sermon since glorifying the southern white plantation slavery system on the same ship three years past. Jeremy and Jack beg him to scuttle his 'crazy' plan but to no avail. Book 2 opens with master's diatribe against the slave trade and Captain Pendleton and his enablers - the crew of the Helena. Intrigue, espionage, conspiracies, mutiny and hurricane plague the ship's voyage during its several-month cruise through the Caribbean Sea to Jamaica, Cuba and Hispaniola and elsewhere. In Jamaica, Jack and Jeremy meet two free blacks - America and Mauricia - and together they conspire to free 110 African slaves who will board the Helena in Cuba. Jack, Book 2, was published in May, 2016. Please write a brief review. See the last page where you will find instructions. Thanks. - G. L. Dorion.

I think I'm gonna revise this to mature a little more lol Story 1 of Pirates of the Caribbean Jessica Williams is a well profound pirate. her name is known to most places on land and sea. At least it used to be before she disappeared for a decade. Her mother being a fallen Pirate Lord, her father being a fallen Commodore left her an orphan at the age of 17. That didn't slow her down. She made a name for herself in her ruthlessness, saving no mercy for any gender or rank. Along her life she got herself into a spat with Davy Jones on the seas, interfering with souls he was trying to collect by force. She said it was an imbalance to the natural order but he in turn nearly killed her..Tia Dorma nursed her back to health when she found Jessica washed up on the shores of her island. Her entire crew had been killed and she was left barely alive. So Tia Dorma decided to held her in exchange for her beating heart. Jessica didn't understand at the time, and claimed she had no use for it so she could happily take it. Everyone she ever cared about was dead anyways so what did she need it for? However, Tia said there was much about a human heart that she had yet to lean and she would only give the heart back once it heals and Jessica could "properly utilize it" whatever the hell that meant.. Until then Tia would put a spell on Jessica. She couldn't die until something in Jessica stirred that cold heart of hers..read to see more! (Story was made in 2010 so I'll probably be editing as I post chapters!)
