Azur Lane: 2273
[Reposting in AO3, available for unregistered users as well] The number 13 is often associated with bad luck. Less popular ones are table salt spills, stepping down with the left foot, crossing chopsticks... But what about crossing fleets? Detonation, sinking, water-bulging, capsizing, nose-diving, submarine-ing are the ways a warship can be forgotten into the depths of an ocean... It is the year 2273, the years of naval glory made its much-awaited appearance. Plasmatic converters slowly replaced unsafe nuclear reactors while CIWS were modified to be firing compressed lasers... Task Force Z, the Prime warship fleet that dominated the oceans, had three successive fleets, Task force 0, 1 and 2. The Z fleet was composed of three ships: HMS Reckless (Flagship), HMS Reverie (Deputy_Flagship), USS Cleveland (Defense_Main). It was a fleet no one dared to even spy upon. Nothing, not anything could even get close to it. Nothing, except the Singularity. I am trying my best to improve my writing skills, so feel free to point out some mistakes (grammar or coherence). I will also try to schedule from three to five chapters per month. Azur Lane is a trademark of Yongshi, Yostar Pictures and Manjuu The ships that aren't WWII ships in this story as well as their blueprints and all images in this story are pure fiction-based and my creations, Story and Lore inspired by "Azur Lane: The Animation" (Yostar Pictures) and "Azur Lane: Konvergenz" (Maxiception)
